Lawndale Christian Health Center — Attraction in West Chicago Township

I had an appoinment at 11:45 on 11/23/20. I waited for over an hour and a half to be seen, just to be told by Dr Hass that she needed the test results from another place when I was sent here so that Lchc did its own test and receive a 2nd opinion. All hass said was she could NOT do anything without the other results 1st, thats why I scheduled the appointment and asked for the day off from work, to take the test, not be told the results from another clinic doctor were needed to proceed. Hass didnt allow me to talk and interrupted me when I had questions, everything was rushed, rude, she has no bed side manner. I was prescribed 6 medications hass didnt explain anything about them, why they were being prescribed how I should take them, absolutley nothing. Blood was taken, today was the second time, because my other results "look good" but were inconclusive. The day after the appoinment lchc calls me to tell me I have to go have more blood taken because my blood was lost by the lab, which had a huge label with my name on it. I was asked to bring paper work from the other clinic, which I did bring since my 1st appointment, it was not seen, hass asked for it on the 2nd appointment. When she reviewed the documents I was given, she was upset and irritated with me and said that these documents were useless. I don't control what was given to me and I don't read minds, so hass/ lchc should be very specific of what documents one should ask for or needs. I don't know their job, like they don't know mine, people shouldn't assume we know exactly what they want without getting a proper explaination or indication of what is needed. I don't understand why I am in the wrong about not having the documents when no one specificly told me make sure you bring this, all the said was bring the docs they gave you. So for some reason it was my fault. I was then told it would take 2 weeks for lchc to get the docments from the other clinic if they asked and if I could get them myself. When I called the other clinic they told me lchc called and they had sent the docs 10mins ago, same day not 2 weeks, I don't appreciate being lied to. I called the pharmacy, said they didn't have my prescriptions order from doctor yet, said I would receive a text/ call when they were ready, no such call has happened. I read some of the prescribed medicine description, hass NEVER asked me about certain symptoms, but for some reason I was prescribed medicine for this, I guess she reads minds and doesn't need to ask patients anything. Lchc sounds on the phone like its hard to get a appointment, but when you go there a re a ton of people there and for the same time appoinment. It seems like lchc is more worried about the quantity of people they can bill per day than the quality of service the give...

If I could put 0 stars I would. I made my first appointment on July 31st I’m newly pregnant. I was scheduled with Dr. Nick Eckert, first he told me my iron was low & my sugar was high so he wanted to draw blood to do some tests. I left that day after they drew about 4-6 tubes of blood. August 1st he called me and said “I’m sorry to inform you but I believe you have diabetes and you had it before this pregnancy. We need to monitor your blood 4 times a day I’m sending over the glucose test to your CVS can you pick it up and have a nurse visit on Friday to show you how it works.” I was in complete shock. How the hell do I have diabetes and my previous doctor never caught it? No one in my family has diabetes either. August 2nd I went to CVS after work and picked up the glucose test, $85. I told my parents, some friends and I was more than worried and stressed over the news. I didn’t eat worried about putting too much sugar into my body, I was only drinking water. Maybe 2 hours after getting home Dr. Eckert calls me “I have good news and bad news, the good news is you don’t have diabetes there was a lab error, the bad news is if you picked up the stuff I apologize” Seriously??? I let him know I just picked up the stuff and he said CVS should take it back because it’s not opened. Well guess what CVS state policy is once it leaves the store it can’t be returned. Now fast forward to today August 10th, I have tried to reach him for a couple days now and he has not called me back. He is MIA, ignoring my messages to call me back. I spent 20 minutes being transferred back and forth and no one seems to want to help me. I need to be reimbursed my $85 for your clinics mistake. This has caused me and my unborn baby more stress that I have ever felt. AND on top of this he prescribed me with prenatals & baby aspirin without verification that I was 12 weeks when I’m actually 7 weeks pregnant. baby aspirin can cause fetal complications if given early or when not needed at all. I let him know I was taking OneDay prenatals so I’m not sure why he gave me prenatals to begin with so that’s another thing I shouldn’t be mixing. Overall I’m annoyed, irritated, stressed and will take legal action. Don’t come to...

Melissa Pryess in was rude, condescending and disrespectful. She also lied on my medical records. Dealing with her during my pregnancy stressed me out so much so, that I decided to switch to a different doctor altogether. Needless to say, the lady they gave me after her (still inside Lawndale facility) was NO BETTER. Granted I was sick. However, that doesn't mean it's okay to tell me I'm going to die (when that isn't definite) every 3 seconds simply because I chose to trust my intuition instead of her fear. She spoke to me with contempt and insulted my intelligence. Which was disappointing, seeing as though I went into Lawndale seeking to be heard and understood. I thought I'd be able to get support from my own community but, unfortunately I was viewed at as ignorant and was scrutinized when I challenged their ideas. For them to pride themselves in being "God Fearing", when I received an unflattering diagnosis they went straight to gloom and doom. No words of encouragement, or offers of prayer. Melissa was arrogant and dismissive. And so was the woman after her. Don't get me wrong, they aren't all bad. But if you plan on going here for prenatal care, make sure you get a doctor who listens to you. They spoke death over my child. Meanwhile, my baby was delivered full term, happy and healthy.He had no problems whatsoever because God was ultimately on my side and I followed Him instead of man. I trusted Him and He delivered. Had I took their advice, idk where me or my baby would be right now. So make sure you pray, listen to your body and be careful when choosing a doctor here. They aren't as in tune with the Holy spirit as they...
