"Always a positive experience at Specialty Care! Dr. Goblin is amazing! Extremely professional, took the time to explain in detail what my issue was. Answered my questions and put me at ease."

"My husband saw Dr Alvi. He needed tubes in his ears. He had this done in another doctor’s office before. Quick and easy. Dr. Alvi scheduled him to have it done as surgery in the hospital! We called back with a question for the doctor: Why can’t we just have this done in the office? The office employee called us back with Dr. Alvi’s answer: “Because that’s the way he does it.” Other doctors were booked for months out and my husband was desperate for relief, so he had it done in the hospital. As soon as he agreed, he then had to have a physical (after just have one recently) as well as an EKG. $$$ After the surgery I confronted Dr. Alvi with all of this. He said he’ll have a talk with his office staff. I told him not to blame them because the question was for him, and we got a call back, not an off-the-cuff answer. Now we’re at Northwestern. The NW Dr said he does them in the office all time and that the extra testing is not necessary. So we paid BIG money for a surgery, put my husband at risk from bein under anesthesia, got up at 4 am for a surgery done HOURS later so they could stagger patients for admittance using fewer nurses, and wasted an entire day instead of just a simple appointment. I saw other reviews about this doctor being all about the money and to look around at their gorgeous, spare-no-expense office. I could not agree more. We should have listened. Oh! And he did not seem comfortable with me attending my husband’s appointment and asking questions. I DO NOT recommend Dr. Alvi."

"My son Georgie is a special needs young. To my surprise he actually let Dr Hallett go up and look in his nose. She is amazing. She also did my nasal polypectomy in April. We could not have been more blessed with such an amazing Dr and staff. Such a friendly staff and atmosphere. They are also quick to respond to questions and any other issues. Would definitely recommend Dr Hallett and her office for medical needs. Patience for her patients is a rare thing with the medical profession these days."

"I have never in my life met a doctor who was more caring and kind. The whole team, really! Dr. Golbin-Hallett was very reassuring and helpful during a very scary time for me, and though they're a pretty busy office, she took her time going over every detail and test result that lead me to her to then determine what the BEST next step would be. I'm super thankful to have been placed in her care, and know I'm in great hands now!"
