Dr Pickering is a phenomenal physician. He is extremely personable, thorough, patient and informative. I remain a member of your network in direct response to the quality of care the he provides. He's a tremendous asset to your institution, and I'm grateful to have him as my primary care physician.

Dr Pickering was incredible. Besides fitting me in at the end of a busy day ( took the efforts of the scheduling people, Dr Pickering's nurse and Dr Pickering) everyone took the time to take care of me and treat my condition. After the x-ray got the diagnosis of pneumonia the next day from Dr Pickering on a phone call along with an additional prescription. Dr Pickering even took on the drugstore when they didn't provide all the prescriptions...Thank you!!!.

Simply the best adult care visit I have EVER had with a provider. Dr. Pickering was more thorough, more conscientious, more engaged, and more engaging in taking my history and physical than any other medical provider I have seen to date.

Dr. Pickering is the best physician of all doctors to which I have gone. And, I am 71 yrs. old and have seen many others. He listens well, is knowledgeable and shows a genuine interest in my questions. I have already recommended him to a friend who now sees him.

Dr. Pickering not only took the time to discuss my health and medications but also other things going on in my life. In particular, my grandfather has been sick and Dr. Pickering remembered what I told him the last time we met and asked me about how things were going. Really appreciated that!

Dr. Pickering genuinely asks questions and truly listens to your response. He follows up with great clarifying questions and takes into account your opinion and thoughts. We moved to the western suburbs almost 14 years ago and still both my husband and I drive into the city to see Dr. Pickering because of his level of service, intellect and genuine concern for his patients' health and happiness.

Dr. Pickering is the best. He treats you like a human: he's kind, patient, and empathetic. He's never once been condescending which is not uncommon in doctors. He took a lot of time to talk to me and explain things. I think he's exceptional.

my care provider is like family hence why i trust him with my life from day 1 we met 10years ago. dr pickering is my choice he takes pride in his job and health of his patients i have never experienced this before. your family health history he makes sure he stays abrupt and keeps you aware of any things that have changed in your health. His concerns are about the individual and love for his gift of helping heal
