Dr. Sufit is awesome! I’ve been seeing him since I first switched to Northwestern from Children’s Memorial (now Lurie) and he has been so kind and caring, he always wants to talk with me when I come in, to catch up on how I’ve been doing since the last time I saw him before that and he always makes me smile and laugh even if I’m not feeling well. He’s a great doctor and I hope he stays my doctor for a long time still

I was asked to come in earlier which I did, but I waited and waited. My appointment altogether was maybe 15 minutes but I was there for over 2 hours. Additionally I was under the impression that I was going to be seen by several MD clinic members for baseline tests, but that wasn't the case at all. I definitely could've done a virtual visit which would've saved me from taking the day off. Next, the doctor ordered an x-ray and I was hoping since I was already there with the day off that I could get that done, but no one knew where to go for it. After waiting even longer for an answer I told them I would get it done closer to my house.
