Great explanations of the surgery procedure and recovery period in plain English, absolutely unexpectedly superb bedside manner for a surgeon, really bubbly confident and friendly personality that immediately puts you at ease. He also made sure I did not begin the surgery until he and his team had answered all my questions and addressed any of my concerns.

It was difficult to get an appointment with Dr. Mueller, but I'm glad we persevered. I had researched him and others suggested by my pcp and he was my first choice. He explained things well, inspired confidence, and I'm happy with the results. I liked that he was UIC trained and had done his residency at Northwestern, because I know both of these teaching and research hospitals well and respect both.

The first time I met him, he did an amazing job explaining the details about my surgery. However, I never saw him after the surgery to share how the surgery went. He definitely can do better at checking at his patients after they come back from surgery. I was very anxious and nervous about this procedure and it would’ve make me feel better to hear that the surgery went well from the him. During the post appointment, he heard my concerns and I hope this can be improved for patients that come to his office in the future.

Did not even show any interest and attempt to listen to my surgical history. Because of my extensive and complicated surgical history, some of it @NM, he firmly had his mind made up, that there's nothing that is of his practice field, even though he is gastrointestinal surgeon and hernia expert....
