Dr. Fred Rosenberg, MD

Here is my honest review of dr. Fred Rosenberg. I’m not going to sugar coat anything because my experience was not good. I’m a sexual assault survivor. This info will be important in a moment. I went in to Dr Rosenberg because my PCP believes I have a hiatal hernia. My appt started off with some small talk about me being Italian and then soon drifted to me being fat. He told me I was at risk of being diabetic because of my weight but didn’t look at my most recent bloodwork to see that I am not even close to pre-diabetic, and I’ve had many tests to ensure this is accurate because diabetes runs in my family. He didn’t look at my labs or do his due diligence before making an assumption about me because of my appearance. I explained that I’m only able to eat maybe a half cup of food at a time because if I eat more, it triggers vomiting. If I lay down more than 45°, it triggers vomiting. If I go to sleep before 6 hours after eating, it triggers vomiting. His suggestion was medication. When I spoke up more and said I want an X-ray he told me he would do an exam there instead. He handed me a gown and told me to keep my bra and underwear on. He did not ask me to have the gown open in the front or back, so I put the opening in the back and laid down on the exam table. When he came back in the room, he asked me to sit up. At no time did he tell me I need to switch the direction of the opening of my gown. He then asked me to lay back down and proceeded to rip open the gown at my belly with no warning. I froze as he did his exam because it triggered a very bad memory of being assaulted. When he finished his exam, he told me to get dressed and he would write his notes and come back. I waited 15 minutes before leaving the office because I wanted to see if he would tell me he was willing to do the X-ray, all while trying to keep it together emotionally. IF he would have returned to the exam room, I’m not sure how I would’ve handled it, but I do know I would have asked if he was going to agree to the X-ray or do something else to see if the PCP’s prediagnosis was accurate. I did not get that chance. As a woman, a fat woman, I am tired of having to fight for what I need because doctors only see what’s on the outside. If I ask for an X-ray, I should be able to get an xray to ease my mind. This person did not listen to my needs at any point in our conversation.

This is my 3rd colonoscopy, And Dr.Rosenberg did all 3.I don't know what I'm going to do when he retires.

The doctor was caring and funny too. Great bedside manner

Standard colonoscopy. Went smoothly and Dr Rosenberg did a great job!

Dr. Fred Rosenberg was very professional and I had no pain after my endoscopy and colonoscopy.

Dr Rosenberg is the best.i didnt feel any pain at all.

I have been a patient of Dr. Fred Rosenberg for approximately 20 years. Dr Rosenberg recently performed his third colonoscopy on me. The entire procedure at his Lake Bluff location from arrival to departure took only an hour and a half. Dr. Rosenberg is knowledgeable in many GI areas and has solved any GI issues I have had over the past 20 years.

The surgical staff was welcoming and friendly, answering all my questions and making sure I was comfortable. The doctor was very nice as well for the brief time I was awake. I wouldn't hesitate to come here again!

I was looking for a gastroenterologist near me and I called The Illinois Gastroenterology Group in Gurnee, Illinois. As I was making an appointment I asked the receptionist can she pick me a good doctor she chose Dr. Fred Rosenberg. I must say he is a very thorough doctor. He explained every detail about my stomach problem. I couldn’t have asked for a better doctor. What a blessing. If anybody is looking for a gastro doctor I would highly recommend him. He has very good bedside manners. Also the Receptionist and Nurses in the Gurnee Office are very professional and explained every detail to about my procedure. I Thank The Illinois Gastroenterology Group so much for the care they provided in my time of need.

Everything went smoothly for my second colonoscopy with Dr. Rosenberg and I have no issue with him as a doctor. The experience did however feel a bit like a production line; some of which I can respect. But the staff at the surgical center in Lake Bluff was a little too business like and I was hustled out of there less than 15 minutes after being awakened from the anesthesia. I did not appreciate that part.

Everything went well! The entire staff was extremely compassionate to my needs and very nice and helpful.

Had a colonoscopy per my Internist. Dr. Rosenberg was recommended. Very professional. Very clear is what he was going to do. He made sure I had no questions or issues before and after the procedure.

Dr. Rosenberg and his staff were friendly, efficient and well-prepared for my visit. I was very impressed with the care.

Great experience, second time I had procedure done. Very confident in his knowledge and abilities. Good communication and friendly nature. Recommend him highly.

Dr. Rosenberg has treated me since 2009. He is compassionate, knowledgeable and answers my questions.

For my first experience and I have to admit a little nervous about procedure, everything went extremely smooth.

Nice and easy. Explained everything.

It’s been good

Long established patient of Dr. Rosenberg. Feel confident in his procedure skills and communication practices.
