I moved to Chicago roughly a year ago, and was looking to not only establish primary care, but to find a compassionate practice to manage my existing health conditions.

Having had five (5) previous back surgeries, I have a complex health history which includes chronic pain (degenerative disc disease, and failed back surgery syndrome), and generalized anxiety. The health care team at Innovative Care has set a new standard on how medicine should be practiced, and has truly put the care back in health care.

The professionals at this practice listen, and take an approach that incorporates traditional medicine with alternative progressive medicine. At Innovative, the patient is not just a number, but an individual with specific health care needs. They tailor a health care plan specific for the patient, and do not allow you to get lost in the system.

This is a highly ethical practice that embodies principles and values, and is an example of how I imagine health care was originally intended to be practiced. As a patient you don t feel like you are cog in the wheel of Big Business, but rather an individual with specific and diverse needs. They listen, they research and they apply the best practices for individualized care.

Appointments are easy to obtain, with a convenient location and the added benefit of timely, personal and confidential telemedicine. The convenience factor only adds to the already stellar offerings that this practice brings to their patients.

When traveling out of state on business, i was the unfortunate recipient of a serious emergency surgery. Innovative Care - as my primary provider - made it easy and comfortable to communicate across state-lines, and was able to reccomed and set-up specialty care. Upon my return they saw me immediately and seamlessly transitioned my care in house.

I can t say enough great things about Innovative Express Care, their Health Care Team and the values of which the embrace. There is no other place in the Greater Chicago Area that I would recommend a patient whether it be for family checkups, emergency care or a progressive non-traditional approach.

Innovative Express Care has completely restored my faith in the health care system, and the physician/patient relationship.
