Our Services
Cardiology
Early identification of cardiovascular risk factors can prevent serious events. Our cardiology team screens for and manages hypertension, dyslipidemia, atrial fibrillation, and structural heart disease using current guidelines and individualized treatment plans.
Oncology
Supportive oncology care — including pain management, nutritional guidance, and psychological support — is integrated into every patient's treatment plan. Quality of life remains a central focus alongside disease control.
Pediatrics
From the first newborn exam to college preparedness physicals, our pediatric practice supports healthy development at every stage. We follow current AAP immunization guidelines and offer catch-up schedules.
Orthopedics
Conservative management is our starting point for most orthopedic conditions. Physical therapy, targeted injections, and bracing are exhausted before surgical options are considered, minimizing unnecessary procedures.
Neurology
Our neurology team evaluates and manages conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nervous system. Patients are referred or self-referred for issues including persistent headaches, dizziness, memory problems, numbness, and movement disorders.
Patient Experience
What sets Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago apart, according to patient reviews, is the combination of medical competence and genuine warmth. Providers are described as knowledgeable and approachable, and the overall atmosphere is welcoming rather than clinical and impersonal.
Insurance & Payment
Managing the financial side of healthcare shouldn't add to the stress of being unwell. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago has a dedicated billing team to help Chicago patients understand what their insurance covers and what, if any, out-of-pocket costs apply. Most major commercial plans, Medicare, and Medicaid are accepted.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an echocardiogram and do I need one?
An echocardiogram uses ultrasound to create images of the heart's structure and function. It is ordered when a cardiologist needs to assess valve function, heart muscle performance, or structural abnormalities that cannot be fully evaluated by ECG alone.
How can I reduce my risk of heart disease?
Key modifiable risk factors include smoking, high blood pressure, elevated LDL cholesterol, physical inactivity, excess body weight, and poorly controlled diabetes. Regular check-ups, medication when appropriate, and lifestyle modifications all contribute to meaningful risk reduction.
Is a stress test painful or risky?
Exercise stress tests are generally well-tolerated. Patients walk on a treadmill while heart activity is monitored. For those who cannot exercise adequately, pharmacological stress testing achieves the same diagnostic goals without physical exertion.
