Patient Testimonials
Dan B.
Dr. Slogoff is my all time favorite doctor ever! She removed a cancerous tumor from my colorectal area and was able to put everything back together. She does not try to dazzle you with doctorspeak, but talks to you as a real person. She always tells you the truth no matter is you want to hear it or not and does not mince words. If you want sympathy, she will give you some, but she works toward solutions. I appreciate Dr. Slogoff so much and cannot recommend her highly enough.
Anon
Have been to Dr Slogoff for two conditions. Both times I got great treatment. She and her staff are very friendly. Highly recommend her.
Donelle
Dr. Slogoff is highly skilled in her field, with excellent credentials and years of surgical experience. She is professional, kind and well-informed about surgical options and procedures, and I strongly recommend her for your surgery in Chicago’s Western Suburbs.
Jim
Great bedside manner, takes time to explain procedure and listen to any an all questions. Did not feel rushed at the initial consult and the follow up appointment.
Kathy
I had colon resection surgery for diverticulitis with Dr. Kramer, and I could not be happier with the result. He was great. I knew beforehand that complications were possible and that the laparoscopic/robotic procedure might have to be changed during the surgery to a full-open abdominal surgery. Even though the surgery ended up being more complicated than initially thought, he was able to complete it with laparoscopy. My recovery was fast. Home in 48 hours. So glad I chose Dr. Kramer.
J. Barrie
Excellent surgeon. made me feel very comfortable with his explanation of the proposed surgical procedure. After the surgery he followed up with me on two different occasions to determine how I was doing. He is a very caring physician.
Norm
My PCP referred me to another doctor, Dr. Kramer, for a needed minor surgery. The procedure went without a hitch-quick and painless. And Dr. Kramer was able to put me at ease, both before and after surgery. The doctor is available for all questions and I found him to be very personable in discussing details. Hailey, from the office, followed up with me the following day, and Dr. Kramer himself called with the pathology report. I will highly recommend Dr. Kramer to family and friends needing a surgeon.
William O.
Dr. Kramer was excellent from start to finish as well as the Staff 5 star service. I can’t Thank Dr. Kramer and the Staff enough.
Mark O.
If you must have surgery, this is the place to go! I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Kramer and his staff. Dr. Kramer is a highly skilled and professional surgeon and still maintains a great bedside manor and personal touch. The office staff is also top notch! They answered all of my questions, and got my messages to the doctor right away. I would recommend The Surgery Group to my closest relative. Thank you for everything.
