She is intelligent, holistic and a great listener! The only M.D., ever to recommend a probiotic with an antibiotic immediately.

Dr. Orkiszewska was very thorough, informative, professional and kind! I know she is VERY busy working at an urgent care with all the illnesses going around, but she took the time to call me with results and recommendations. My daughter mentioned *three times* later that evening about how nice the doctor was and how much she liked the doctor - "and she has a nine year old like me!" I can't say enough good things about Dr. Orkiszewska!! What a gem you have there at the Glen Ellyn urgent care. Treat her well!

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care.
