I love Dr. Petrungaro. I think she's exceptionally competent and is so easy to talk to. I really like the fact that she is always prepared for my visit; she clearly has read my file before she walks in the exam room. She's very respectful of her patients and it's such an efficient use of her time and mine; we're able to spend my appointment time talking about new issues or concerns. She's very perceptive and always seems to know what's on my mind. She listens carefully to my questions and explains things in terms I can understand. I'm lucky to be her patient.

I have been under Dr Petrungaro's care since she began working at Glenview. She is knowledgeable, caring, she follows up with me when needed. I have many health issues and she always considers all of them when proscribing treatments. I am living a full life with her help and care. I consider myself greatly blessed by her care!

Dr Petrungaro is hands down the best all around care provider that I have ever had. She is smart, patient, kind, thoughtful and committed to addressing her patients needs. I have never met a doctor with a better bedside manner combine with her level of thoughtful analysis, follow up and commitment. She is absolutely the best of the best and Northwestern is so lucky to have her.

I greatly appreciate Dr. Petrungaro's thoroughness in dealing with some outstanding issues from a recent procedure that I had at the downtown NW Hospital and also further investigating issues that had recently come up. She was very thorough in trying to look at my "big picture ".

Dr. Petrungaro is knowledgeable and personable. She listens. She gives medical opinions when I asked. She trusts her NW team. She made me more relaxed about my upcoming surgery from the way she spoke highly of the Lake Forest Women Care team. She followed up quickly on medicine questions and emailed quickly with EKG results.

I am so grateful to Dr. Petrungaro for referring me for appropriate tests and specialists whenever I have seen her. She communicates promptly with the other MDs and calls or emails me very quickly. She is better than any other doctor I have visited at somehow managing to use her computer while making me feel she is focused on me and not the computer. I so trust this doctor.

Very impressed with Dr Petrungaro. She took the time, listened to my concerns, provided very sound advice and recommendation. This was my first time seeing her and already I could tell she really cared about my health. I have already recommended her to several friends.

Dr. Petrungaro was excellent! She explained and truly took time to visit with me. I felt she was truly concerned about my health and took the time to explain everything that was going on! I felt like I actually had a doctors appt for once after years of consistent "stick with the regime" explanation. I already feel so much better after one week. she does a wonderful job and I feel so fortunate to have gotten in to see her.

I consider myself very fortunate to have Dr. Petrungaro as my doctor. She's easy to talk to, listens very well, has a great sense of humor and most important of all, she is a highly intelligent doctor who explains things in language I can understand. It's obvious that she takes the time to review my file beforehand, which gives us more time to discuss any recent concerns.

Dr. Petrungaro was thorough and attentive. She balanced perfectly between professional and personable in her communication. I am extremely confident in her assessment of my health, as well as her investment in my future wellness. Everytime I see her, I am relieved she is "at the helm" of my care. I have and continue to recommend her to friends and family.

Dr. Petrungaro is the very best doctor I have ever seen. She twice pro-actively diagnosed significant issues. She is extremely good at explaining issues in everyday language and shows an extrodinary amount of empathy and compassion, while being very relatable and real. In addition, she is comprehensive in her exams and recalls issues from year to year. I recommend her to friends and family members, including the ones who are physicians themslves.

Dr. Petrungaro is thorough and meticulous and will listening to your point of view as well. I like that about her. She still weighs the pros and cons, but in the end she will let you make the final decision. I like that as well about her. When you leave, she presents her ideas and gives you time to re-think your decision as well as hers.
