Mircea T. Iacob, MD

Dr. Iacob is part of the Neurosciences Division at Central DuPage Hospital (also referred to as Cadence Physician Group) and I have been seeing him since December 2011. Before he came to CDH I believe he worked out of either Oak Brook Terrace and/​or Melrose Park (Gottlieb Hospital).
The office location is very nice — large office on the 4^th floor of the outpatient center at CDH.
I am very happy with Dr. Iacob overall — I see him roughly 4 times per year as I have had an ongoing serious migraine condition for over 10 years. Dr. Iacob is said to be «very popular» with patients so you must schedule appointments well in advance to see him.
The only reason for the 4-​star review as opposed to a perfect 5-​star review is that sometimes, there can be long waits for Dr. Iacob, either in the general waiting area or once I get settled back in the small patient office after a nurse/​nurse practitioner has checked me in. Sometimes he is on time and the wait times are relatively small, a few others though have been longer. At my visit in December of 2014, by chance I was his last appointment at 4:45 pm and was waiting in the general wait area almost an hour — I was the only one in the waiting area as most of the regular front desk staff left at 5pm, but they did apologize to me for this. Once I was checked in with the nurse, she did say Dr. Iacob was running a bit behind with the holiday rush and previous appointments that had went longer than expected. He finally came in to the room around a half hour later and by the time I left, it was almost 7pm. He did apologize to me again, and I told him it was quite okay, especially with the holiday season and all.
During busy times, it can sometimes «seem» as if Dr. Iacob is a bit rushed, too. Admittedly many of us — me included — like to get in and out with our doctors most of the time. Sometimes however, I like to chit-​chat about my health updates for a few minutes and discuss with him in detail what has been going on in between my visits. I am not at all saying he hurries or pushes me out of the room, but sometimes he just comes across as being very «on-​the-​go» :)
I must stress these are VERY small nuances especially in the bigger picture of everything. Overall, I am very happy with Dr. Iacob and I have no plans of stopping my care plan with him unless he leaves the facility and/​or some other unforeseen circumstances occur. Dr. Iacob is a cool guy, very professional, and can even be funny at times :)
** I must also mention that Dr. Iacob’s nursing staff (nurse practitioners, including Nurse Karey M.) are also fantastic. Several times I was having some questions or issues and needed some resolve, and while Dr. I was unavailable, his nurses have always returned MyChart emails or phone calls quickly and were very NICE and THOROUGH, never did I feel rushed off the phone. ONE OTHER TIME, I was having some on-​the-​fly issues that were bothering me and I called to see if I could somehow bump up my appointment by a week or so or get into the office quicker — by chance the office called me back and told me that while Dr. I was just too booked up, Nurse Karey (who still has all my records, notes, etc.) was able to see me THAT DAY if I wanted! This is a huge bonus to have a nice nursing staff!
