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.

So disappointed
Dr. Engel ranks among the worst physicians I have encountered. He was over 1 hour late for my appointment and unapologetic. He failed to review my medical records and simply gave a canned speech. I found him arrogant and dismissive and amazingly ignorant of current info regarding prostate cancer. He relies exclusively upon a physician assistant to do most of his work...

I really felt Dr Engel listened to every word I said and evaluated my case in a full and professional manner. He also explained the treatments available and the reasons for choosing the recommended treatment.

office visit
I had a problem with urination, there was a blockage caused by prostate, I asked him to give me something to loosen up but he said there is nothing like that available. He only gave me the same pills that I was taking before. After a few visits and many tests I went to another doctor Sosenko , he gave me two other pills and the symptoms disappeared on the same day after one visit. I feel like a newborn I have no problems urinating , I have been sick for almost 10 years. also the nurse in dr Engel clinic who took the blood was very unpleasant.

Rude, Dismissing Physician
I went to Dr. Engel to get a second opinion. From the moment he entered the door, he was rude, condescending, and dismissive. Every time I attempted to explain something to me he interrupted just to be dismissive of my questions and concerns. He is - by far - the worst doctor I have ever seen in my entire life. I’ve been to Northwestern to see a doctor in the neurology department, and he was absolutely wonderful. I am just upset that I put up with his rude behavior. He is awful!

After my 2nd appoint, I understand his bed side manner and was impressed. Down to earth and I felt a sense of care from him as well as the staff.

He's a great physician and a caring human being. I never knew him until I needed his expertise almost 25 years ago. How blessed I am that our paths crossed.
