Patients in Chicago turn to Swedish Hospital for Cardiology, Oncology, Orthopedics, Gynecology, Urgent Care, and Surgery care that goes beyond symptom management. The team takes time to understand each patient's full health picture before recommending a course of action.

Our Services
Cardiology
From first-time evaluations to ongoing chronic disease management, our cardiology team is here for every stage. We perform non-invasive cardiac testing on-site, including Doppler ultrasound and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.
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.
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.
Gynecology
Our gynecology services support women's health at every stage of life. Routine care includes annual well-woman exams, Pap smears, STI screening, and contraception counseling.
Urgent Care
Our urgent care team is experienced in diagnosing and treating a wide variety of acute conditions quickly and accurately. On-site diagnostics including X-ray and rapid lab testing mean most patients leave with a clear diagnosis and a treatment plan in a single visit.
Surgery
Surgical care at our facility begins long before the operating room. We conduct thorough pre-operative evaluations to optimize patient safety.
Patient Experience
The patient experience at Swedish Hospital is shaped by a team that genuinely prioritizes comfort and clarity. Staff members are known for following up on outstanding results, returning calls promptly, and addressing concerns between visits when needed.
Insurance & Payment
Insurance verification at Swedish Hospital is handled efficiently so patients can focus on their health rather than paperwork. The clinic participates in most major health plan networks serving Chicago. Patients are advised to confirm their specific plan's participation status when booking, as networks can vary between insurers and plan tiers.
Frequently Asked Questions
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.
What symptoms should prompt a cardiology referral?
Chest pain or pressure, palpitations, unexplained shortness of breath, dizziness, fainting, and swelling in the legs are all symptoms that warrant evaluation by a cardiologist. A primary care provider can help determine whether a referral is appropriate.
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.
