Lev Elterman, MD

Just like another reviewer, I showed up at my 8:15 AM appointment and was told by the lady at the desk to «Sit down.» It was my first visit to Dr. Elterman. The doctor stood behind the lady and also said, «Sit down.» The room was full of patients. I waited a full hour. Fifteen people went in, and I was the last one waiting. No one gave me any of the usual papers to fill out about my history. Nobody asked me for insurance information. Nobody called my name. I left and told the people behind the desk that my time is as valuable as the doctor’s time, that I’ve never been treated this way at any doctor’ office, and there are plenty of urologists in this city so I’ll go to somewhere else. This guy must have plenty of patients so he doesn’t care about losing a few here or there.

Horrible!!! This place is a total joke. Receptionist is rude. Doctor was very unprofessional and very abrupt. If you spoke Russian, they are nice to you. If you’re not Russian, forget about it. You will be treated like sh*t. Would Never recommend this place, not even to my enemy

Dr. Elterman is knowledgable and professional doctor i have ever known. He understands your situation humbly and goes through all scenarios and gives you solution for your problems. I am very impressed with the treatment and care given to me and Highly recommend him.

I scheduled an appt with Dr. Elterman for Friday morning and was taken in right away. The receptionists were extremely nice and friendly. Dr. Elterman was very knowledgeable on the situation I was having and it was decided I had to have surgery. He would be the one performing the surgery. He was very honest and open about what was going to happen. Within an hour of leaving his office, we were in the operating room. Everything went well! I would recommend anyone and everyone to visit Dr. Elterman! Thanks Doc!

I took my son to this doctor at his Skokie office. Had an appointment at 11:00 and after 1 hour and 45 minutes of waiting… WITH A 2 YEAR OLD, I decided to leave. No acknowledgement, no apologies-​NOTHING!!! Very unprofessional and they did not care at all. If this is the treatment that we received during the initial visit– I can’t imagine how future appointments would have turned out. Truthfully I feel that I would have been treated differently had I have been Russian.
Oh well. It was meant to be I guess.

Kind and caring. Provides full undivided attention to each patient and a great surgeon.

Dr. Elterman is a great recommendation for a urologist. He is competent, knowledgeable, methodical, communicates well with patients and speaks English and Russian.
