“I met with Lyuba for my first initial visit, I was so impressed with her knowledge and the way that my MRI report was explained, prior to that I went to my doctor and other specialists comparing my MRI results I was mislead about my condition. I have never met someone that is so patient and understanding like Lyuba, I felt for the first time that I was not just a number but actually a human being with a serious spine condition. Based on my experiences with other providers it has been a disaster, they were so quick to provide treatments for me without understanding my situation, that resulted to worsening my back. My last stop was to a chiropractor and then to my primary and of course again I was disappointed because they wanted me to get surgery. They gave up on me. I’m so blessed to have found Lyuba. I wish that were more providers like her. The world would be a better place. People will be safe and heard. She put a specific program for me and I’m feeling great. Thank you Lyuba. ??”

I look forward to my appointments! Lyubov takes a certain pride in her work that I have not seen in a long time. I feel safe handing over my personal pain to her because I feel that she understands it. Always making sure that my exercises are being done correctly so I get the full benefits of the program. I am so happy that I found someone that finally cares. Thank you for all that you do!

I have seen so many providers but Lyuba by far exceeds expectations. She is so level headed, while also being very attentive. She is one of the few providers I can genuinely be open with about everything and that trust is huge for me! Lyuba looks at the bigger picture to try and find the root of the issue, and makes you feel heard.

Lyuba is the most amazing, attentive, thoughtful and patient provider I have ever seen. Let me tell you why, I went to different chiropractor’s and PT’s and did so many different treatments and nobody cared to send me for MRI. As I kept trying different treatments my condition worsened. I gave up. I found Lyuba and my first exam after I explained my situation and everything I had tried, she immediately knew the treatment I needed and that would improve my condition. She told me what my next step which was to obtain an MRI and I found out I had a fracture. I started treatment with her at Illinois Back Institute and I already feel so much better. Thank you so much Lyuba. I love that I can talk to her whenever I need something and she is always patient with me and makes me feel safe and encourages me to feel better.

I have don’t have enough words to say about Lyuba, I had my first visit with her referred by one of my coworker. I went to her for a severe sciatica that I have been struggling for years. I have seen so many doctors for my pain and I have been disappointed because I felt that all they cared was for them to charge my insurance, rushing me, not listening o me, and definitely not caring or listening to my complaints when I was still in pain. I’m so disappointed because is so hard ti get an appointment right way and when you do is just a 5 minutes visit not enough time to actually explain my condition. Lyuba has made my life so much better and I have never met anyone like her, she gave me hope and took her time to help me. I feel much better and I feel so happy and grateful to see that are still providers like her. Thank you for all your care and support.

I’m amazing by the personalized treatment and lasting results I experienced with Lyubov. Took the time to understand my condition and provided the targeted treatment that significantly improved my spine. I have been to other similar doctors and no one was able to help me the way Lyuba did. I’m so impressed with her knowledge and her dedication. I’m so grateful that I have found her. My life changed for better.

Lyuba is great! Very professional, caring, and understanding. She’s always there to help, and my back has improved tremendously under her care. There have been times I’ve run late due to work, and she still made sure that I was able to come in and get my physical therapy done. I can’t say enough good things about her and the staff that works for her too at the facility.

Lyuba is the most caring provider that I have ever met in my life. Very knowledgeable and she treats all the patients with care as patience. I feel so much better to be treated by Lyuba because not only that I trust her with my life but I also know that she will always be there for me to support me and answer my questions. When I’m at her clinic I feel like I’m in this big family that delivers nothing but compassion and love. I’m still doing treatment here and getting better and I love her unique approach about my care. I’m thankful to have known her and be part of her treatment.

An Amazing provider, with an excellent care and detailed evaluation. I have been seeing a doctor prior for the same issue and I was never explained about my situation but rushed through it. She went beyond her way to even discuss some conditions that weren’t related to my back. My primary doctor never did. Explained my MRI report in details and answered my questions patiently and made me feel safe and cared for. Right now I’m doing therapy at her clinic and feeling so much better with only 5 days of sessions. Thank you so much for everything that you do.
