Dr. Jacqueline David, MD

I visited Dr. David as a new patient because she came highly recommended. She walked into the room without any introductions. No hellos, hi, nothing. She sat on her chair and asked me “what brings you in today? I was shocked at her coldness and wondered if i entered the wrong office. She assessed me in complete silence and asked questions in the coldest way. I didn’t want to be there anymore. At the end of my visit, she left the room without a departing comment or gesture. I thought she was going to return but she never did. Her nurse came in a few minutes later to conclude the visit. How she gets all these wonderful reviews is a shock to me. She is the worst doctor i have ever encountered. This happened over a decade ago and my experience with her kept me away from seeing another doctor for YEARS. I was traumatized and as a black woman, i didn’t know how to make sense of that day. I used to hold all doctors to high standards but she proved me totally wrong.

I was disappointed. She seemed very uninterested doing my annual physical exam, She was rushed. she asked was I having any pain and I said yes and I showed her my varicose veins and she replied those are cosmetic.

Asked her a medical advice question and her response was rude, without punctuation and correct spelling, and completely inaccurate information. I did not feel listened to, and I don't have faith this doctor will look out for my well-being.

Ever feel like your doctor is talking to you, but not about just you. You will never feel this way with Dr. David. She takes time to listen to you, question your concerns for a full understanding and then discuss possible options. She lets you question her suggestions to make sure you have a complete understanding and you are comfortable. With my illness I experience what I call strangeness and I email her and she always responds. She is the best doctor ever!

Dr. David has spent a lot of time with me to make sure what she is prescribing is appropriate and she always asks me to come back a month later to make sure everything is working right. My state of health has improved in the 2 years that I have been seeing her. She is very professional and friendly.

Dr. David is my wife's physician for many years (and she LOVES her), but I saw her recently when I had an ear infection and my own doctor was out of town. She was very friendly and thorough and set me up with the right antibiotic to clear up the infection. I was very happy with the visit!

I was looking for a new doctor in the Evanston area and tried Doctor David based upon a recommendation. I was disappointed. She seemed very uninterested in my issues and gave me poor advice to take care of a foot condition on my own that is still plaguing me now 9 months later. I felt like she was just trying to avoid referring me and saving the company money. In the meantime I can't walk or run without pain. I will be choosing someone else as my primary care physician for me and my family.

Worst visit I have had with a medical professional in ages. The front office was a zoo. The paper gown was a flimsy tent. Dr. barely took any time with me, seemed to not want to hear my concerns, and later referenced them as complaints, like she could not be inconvenienced. She felt my abdomen for two seconds, entered into the online chart that I had a mass, but then dismissed my alarm, saying I needed an ultrasound. She practically bolted out the door, leaving me angry, frustrated and scared.
