Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Rush is wonderful!
My son was born 25 years ago, and Dr Rush delivered him. She was great. She put me at ease. All this time, and I will never forget her.

Dr. Rush was great and attentive with my first appointment. She spent time thoroughly reviewing my past history along with my current concerns. Would recommend.

I saw Dr Rush around 32 weeks pregnant with my first. We waited for her in the room for 45 mins, making us unimpressed before even meeting her. Upon her arrival, she scolded me for having my legs crossed on the table. It was at this appointment that I learned I have an excess of amniotic fluid, and if I had not asked more questions we would have been dismissed with no further information. I expressed another, unrelated concern, which was laughed off. I left this appointment consulting Dr Google, in tears, and calling the nurses station for more information on my possible diagnosis. I'm sure with her many years of experience she is great at what she does, but I would never recommend her to a first time mom.

Dr. Rush delivered my baby at suburban hospital. She had great bedside manner and I felt very well taken care of. She was actually just the dr on call and I usually go to a different practice. I liked her so much I’m considering switching practices.

Would like to start out by saying I really like this practice, and was very happy with the three other doctors I have seen so far. That said, my recent experience with Dr. Rush was terrible. She was condescending and dismissive, and was hurried enough that she was cutting me off as I tried to respond to comments she made; and, she didn't give me an opportunity to ask questions. I am relatively new to this practice and can honestly say, had this been my first experience, I would not have come back. Additionally, I'm pregnant with my first baby and had questions about some health concerns - Dr. Rush was literally walking out the door as I was trying to ask a question. I was nearly in tears and felt completely deflated when I left my appointment. The encounter was the worst patient experience I have ever had. Again, really like the practice - but this particular experience was just bad.

Love the clinic . Had to be fit in for something and had Dr . Rush for the first time . Left crying .Worst experience ever. If I had her for my my first visit I would have never gone back. Have had other wonderful Drs at clinic. Do yourself a favor and ask for different Dr. She does Not listen to any medical concerns. Very rude and judgemental .Wants her opinions to be yours.

Dr. Rush did an outstanding job with my difficult multiple large fibroid removal and open hysterectomy. She understood my reluctance to have the surgery and calmed by fears by providing me with all the information ("what if's"). She takes the time to answer any questions you ask and provides information to help with overall health. Two years post surgery and I feel better than I have in years.

Worst doctor in the practice, very unprofessional. We waited for over an hour to be seen and she could careless. Terrible time management and sub par bedside manner. Do yourself a favor and choose another doctor in the practice.

Dr Rush is a very kind and caring Dr. She takes her time with you and is very professional in every way. I? don’t think I’ve been to a Dr who has spent as much time with me. Listens to you and answers any questions.

Dr Rush is the most amazing woman. My wife was miscarrying for her second time (her second encounter with Dr. Rush) I love my wife so much. Dr. Rush was not only attentive to my wife she was also attentive to me. Dr. Rush saw how much I love my wife and understood the pain that I felt as my beautiful wife endured the most painful experience of our life. She woke me up, I thought I saw an angel. She is the most amazing woman. Thank you Dr. Rush. You are helping people. I love you.
