Yelena Tumashova, MD

"I had a sleep study done and was misdiagnosed with narcolepsy by this doctor. A few years later I switched networks and was able to get a second opinion from a different doctor and turns out I have sleep apnea. When my second doctor reviewed Tumashova’s diagnosis and testing, doctor was appalled and disappointed in her work. Save yourself time and money and go somewhere else!"

"I wait over a month for appointment, then I have hard time to found office. I was late for 17 min. They tell me she can take me any more because I was late more then 15 min appointment canceled. NEVER again going to this doctor!!!!"

"Please, please avoid this practice. First, they will not offer you any appointments with her since she's very "busy". Under the guise of giving you an appointment they will sneakily give you one at their Barrington Good Shepherd location but they do not tell you you will be seeing a Nurse Practitioner and not her. In addition, I got two bills from them, one for the consult and one for the facility charge fee. Many of us will not know that certain hospitals will double dip patients this way. I was so furious that they gave me an appointment with a Nurse Practitioner and not her. I knew that only after I was roomed. All care for any sleep issues such as apnea, restless sleep or snoring will be addressed by Nurse Practitioners and not a doctor. Her staff is very rude and when I said I wanted to see her, a doctor, they told me that there is really no difference between seeing her or a NP. It is the same. A nurse practitioner holds a nursing degree with a master's level and I don't need to state how much a doctor needs to do to hold that expertise. And most Nurse Practitioners cannot prescribe medications or offer the same level of care. That's a given. Again, look elsewhere for care and not her. Very deceitful."

"I saw Dr.Tumashova during a long bout with insomnia a while ago and she nonchalantly suggested I take melatonin to address the problem. I felt that she didn’t take much time with me and showed little empathy for what I was experiencing."

"Stroke patient. She was very busy making rounds in hospital. After testing she will make very clear diagnosis, treatments and recommended lifestyle changes for recovery. Follow up visits she is very professional and personal. Will take time to answer questions."
