Joanne N. Knapik, MD 10350 Haligus Road, Huntley, IL 60142

"We met with her too establish our 3 and 6 year old with a pediatrician in the area. However we will not be returning to see her again. She was very rude and treated us like she didn't have time for the appointment. She was terrible with the kids and instead of helping them feel comfortable she did the opposite. My son was super uncomfortable with her and upset about the appointment for hours. I can't imagine why she is in her profession."

"Dr. Knapik was our family pediatrician growing up. I have 5 siblings and each of us adored her. Having her now as my daughter’s pediatrician is an honor. My daughter has been off and on sick for months. Dr.Knapik was thorough with her examinations and now we are on the ups after her diagnosis. During one of these examinations she noticed a cyst on my daughters ear drum and referred us to a specialist that indeed diagnosed it as a Congenital Cholesteatoma (I apologize if that’s misspelled). But her catching that small cyst opened the flood gates to so many other things I didn’t realize were symptoms at the time. She was wonderful with us as kids, explained all options as teenagers, and walked me through and explain’s in detail all options and outcomes for me to better assist in making an informed decision when it comes to my daughters healthcare plan. Her professionalism and experience shows. The nurses on the floor are absolutely wonderful. I cannot imagine it’s easy with all these little humans everyday. But I couldn’t trust anyone else at this point. Thank you all very much"

"We were recommended by a friend to Dr Knapik as I was havibg trouble finding a good pediatrician. I transferred all of my child’s care to her practice. Biggest mistake of my life. At the time we didn’t realize my son had an underlying diagnosis that caused major developmental physical and cognitive delays. We were first time parents, so we were a bit behind as well. As a pediatrician I am sure she realized it, but never once mentioned anything. Her only remark at one of our visits was, “we’ll see him back in 3 months for his 15 mth check to see where he’s at, if he’s shown no progress I’ll refer you to a specialist to find out if he’ll ever walk!” And walked out of the room. Then i sat in the room with my child and cried for over an hour, over what has just come out of her mouth. We were told to wait for one of the nurses to come in with his 15 month vaccinations, we waited and waited. When the nurse wasn’t coming in, I went out to check to see what was going on, they were just standing at the counter, confused as to why I was still there, Dr Knapik never gave them the order for my sons vaccines. This was over 5 years ago and I think about it all the time, because it was one of the worst experiences of my life. To hear those words coming from a professional was absolutely devastating."

"Dr. Knapik was my pediatrician growing up and is now my children’s pediatrician. We love her. She is kind, attentive and caring. She never rushes us at appointments and she responds quickly when I submit questions outside of appointments. Highly recommend!"

"Dr. Knapik has been both of my son's doctor for over 10 years. I believe she saved my older sons life. The 911 EMTS sent us home telling us they thought he was fine. I knew he was not okay. He was acting weird. He thought he might have drank too much water. (He was 16 or 17) I called Dr Knapik's office and she called back and told me to take him IMMEDIATELY to the ER. Long scary story but he DID drink too much water and needed to be admitted to pediatric ICU. He is fine now but I will always be grateful for the wise direction of Dr.Knapik. When 911 didn't think my sons problem was an emergency, she KNEW it was."
