Gr8 honest doctor I trust him

Very nice and helpful. Love how he cares for his patients. Thank you Dr Bush !

Dr. Bush was excellent! He and the student doctor work very well together. She is very knowledgeable. The receptionist (Irene) was very rude.Did not say hello. Just asked for ID and insurance card. I told her I had 2 additional insurance. She refuse to look at the other 2 insurances, through my insurance is not state pay. I felt offended. She seem to be preoccupied. She rush me off gave my id and 1 card back and told me to have a seat. yesterday was my first time visting. She could have told me where to sit. There was an empty chair where a greater sit, therefore I ask another patient where to go. She pointed out Dr. Bush area to be seated and wait until my name was called

Angie did a great job, too.

Exceptional.

He is one of the best doctors ever. Very caring and on top of his game!!!!!!!!

Very nice Dr.

Waited over an hour to see doctor and the doctor was very rushed and did not explain anything to me. Will not be going back to him.

I had such a great experience with Dr. Bush. He was very personable and helped to educate me on what my problem was and how he could fix it. I very much appreciate him.

I love Dr. Bush. So knowledgable, personable and he has helped me tremendously. He knows what he’s doing!!!

My appointment was very good. Had very good understanding of the go forward plan.

Really knows what he is doing and really seems to care. Just seems lime a competent, kind, approachable doctor.

My appointment was confusing. My first appointment I was told I needed surgery but opted to try a brace. The brace really didn’t work so I made a second appointment presumably to set up surgery. The second appointment I didn’t even meet initially with Dr. Bush and the one I met with was trying to talk me out of surgery which was confusing. I had to talk my way into meeting with Dr. Bush and that was even more convoluted. I was also told to get some scan before I left that day but was not told where to go to get that done. Fortunately a nurse who was leaving for the day got me where I needed to be but the people who do the scans were caught off guard. So now I am uncertain what to do. So that’s why I rated how I did

An observer caring and professional all around.

Very thorough, patient, great sense of humor, informative. All around great doc and person.

Very thorough explaining and treatment plan.

Amazing doctor, took much time in explaining questions!

Best doctor I have ever had. Very thorough and explains everything so that I can understand.

He is so easy to talk to and I really enjoy having him as my Doctor

Wonderful Doctor!! From the time we walked in the door until the time we left every single person we met with provided excellence. It was so nice to feel like we were being taken care of by professional carrying staff. I highly recommend Dr. Bush and his staff!!

Gave very good information to help me with my heel pain

I am very confident in Dr. Bush and his diagnosis of my foot. I thoroughly enjoyed my appointment with him and his staff. They were all awesome and made me feel welcomed.

Very thorough, explained everything clearly, positive, friendly, and helpful. Dr. Bush answered all of my questions and has a plan for my healing. I am so glad he is my doctor.

Outstanding doctor! I highly recommend him . He gave excellent advice on how to manage my foot pain and methods that will help my foot heal.

Very professional yet friendly.

He is an intelligent, compassionate capable physician.

A kind, sweet, knowledgeable, & Intelligent Doctor. Though he is extremely busy you still feel like you have been heard and spoken to with patient.

Dr. Bush has a great sense of humor. He takes the time to explain things in words you will understand and he makes you feel that he really cares about your recovery. I can not say enough positive things about him

Absolutely love Dr Bush. So enthusiastic and knowledgeable, but puts things in terms I can understand. His upbeat energy is amazing.

Listens well and takes time to make sure you understand what he said.

Thorough exam and explanation of the plan of treatment….took time to explain everything and answered all my questions

Excellent work and very personable.

Dr Bush is highly knowledgeable but I waited forever in my room to be seen. The lights literally went off on me because I was sitting in the exam room so long waiting for him. Then I was informed that my previous doctor misled me on how I should be recovering from an injury, so although happy with Dr Bush I am frustrated with ortho il overall. 1- my first Dr ordered my MRI too soon after my injury 2) I've been doing PT 2x a week for multiple weeks when I should have been immobilizing. 3) who is going to pay for that unnecessary MRI and all that therapy I shouldn't have been doing? Why aren't we on the same page even though I had all of these services with Ortho IL? Is this a way to extra bill patients? Extremely frustrated

Enthusiasm and professionalism in a surgeon is an unbeatable combination. Dr. Bush explained every facet of the complex surgery resulting in increased patient confidence.

Didn’t see dr. Bush. Saw a partner but he was good.

Kind, considerate and really listens! Very happy to have him as my doctor.

He cares about the individual’s need. In my case it was an ankle replacement and followed through to the end with him. He is very professional and friendly at the same time.

What a great first time visit. Totally explained to me everything that was going on with my foot. Would recommend to everyone.

Easy to understand nice mannee

I love Dr. Bush. He’s patient, caring and kind. He always takes time to answer my questions and makes me laugh. I feel extremely lucky to have him!!!!

Let me start by saying this, I have been a patient of Dr Bush fir many years now fir several ankle issues and Dr Bush has been a very professional Dr to me and others that I know who have him as their Dr. My most recent full ankle replacement done on nov/22/2021 has been one of the most cared for surgery in my eyes and most pleasant one. I'd like to also thank all his staff members and Swedish American Hospital staff for all the caring and compassion that I was given. I would highly recommend DR BUSH to any and all persons dealing with any ankle issues. I return in 2 weeks to remove the new cast put on today and I can't wait till that day so I can start my therapy. Thank you again DR BUSH fir all you have done to help me to get back to being productive im life.

Dr.Smith came into the room and I never saw Dr. Bush. Dr. Smith was very satisfactory.

I had 2 bunions removed on 1 foot I had no pain during my recovery except for a little pressure from swelling Dr Bush is the amazing!!!

He takes as much time as you need with each patient. He is committed to my goals !! I’d recommend him to anyone !

I am so happy with the results of my surgery. Dr. Bush listens to me and explains what is going on. Took some time to heal and I am not very patient.

Dr. Bush is a very skilled physician and I trust his expertise in caring for my foot & ankle issues. He was able to correct a torn ligament that a prior physician couldn't. Very pleased with his care.

Dr. Bush, It's always a pleasure to see you no matter what the outcome may be!! Truly appreciate your kindness and care!

I did not have my appointment with Dr. Bush. A new PhD resident was assigned to my appointment! Unacceptable! My next post surgery appointment will be with Bush or I will walk out!

Great information. Took time to explain.

2nd of three appointments that were running a hour behind. Didn't see doctor, saw intern.

I am highly irritated to once again pay for the experience and skill of an experienced doctor/surgeon well versed on my case only to have a resident come into the exam room. She did not bring in any sort of documentation nor did she even touch my foot during the exam. She looked at my foot from afar. I should not be charged for this follow-up appointment.

Dr. Bush is an outstanding podiatrist. He us excellent at determining the best way to solve the foot problem while meeting the needs of the patient!

Fabulous bed manner . Knowledgeable and explains things well !

I left because after waiting 20 min I was told they were behind 30 min and I had to get back to work. My appt was at 10:45am on 1/30. I will reschedule because I know Dr. Buch is the best

Great service. The entire staff was amazing.

Dr. Bush is awesome! Always takes the time to listen!

Met Dr.Bush today,I am confident he will do a great job fixing my foot

My appointment was with Dr Bush and I never even saw him. I saw a resident so I cannot really evaluate Dr Bush--I only marked 'terrible' to draw attention to the situation.

I came back to Dr. Bush since he did my last surgery and all went well. This time around he is a lot busier and barely spends any time with patients. he has a lot more people and they help him.

Doctor Bush was as always, very professional and through.

didn't get to see Dr. Bush but the lady was very good

The best

Never saw the Doctor, waiting time to long I had to reschedule other meetings and finally had to leave.

Did great job of mentoring intern and providing good explanations to me.

Ty For finding our problem with my ankle...

I did not see Dr Bush today because he running to hours late and I had to get home before dark. I was a bit upset to say the least. I like Dr. Bush. I just wish they had told us sooner that he was running so late. We found out a patient knocked on the door and someone answered . I rescheduled for Jan. 2.

ZERO STARS. HAVING EXPERIENCED TWO AND A HALF HOUR TO 3 HOUR WAIT IN HIS WAITING ROOM BEFORE I ARRIVED ONE HOUR BEFORE MY APPOINTMENT AT 1:30 I ARRIVED AT 12:30. At 215 I even knocked on the door to the nurses place and somebody opened it and said oh we have no idea how long it will be. I told this woman I could not wait any longer. She said it wouldn't be much 10 minutes later they called me into the office put me in an exam room and then I was told that it could be who knows how long until I

was waitin around 2 hours at waiting area , had 2 visits before then 1st visit think was on may/2019 spend over2 hours too,then 2nd spend 1,30 min, so with dr bush alguay is the same waitng a lots of time.

Very personable and knowledgeable. He makes you feel confident in him.

your resident needs instruction on how to wrap an ace bandage.

Excellent care. Everything is explained in very clear terms.

great doctor

Very kind, compassionate and knowledgeable. I've been going to Dr. Bush for years and have always gotten great results.

I've seen Dr. Bush multiple times for various foot issues over the years. He always does a great job of thoroughly explaining things to his patients, as well as answering any questions asked of him. He's terrific!

Dr. Bush is always straight and to the point., just had to wait longer than usual.

Very thorough and really explained things well. I felt very comfortable with him.

The only thing I wish I had done was to be more prepared for my appointment since I still have a ton of questions

Had to crawl in on hands n knees from parking lot. Put a cast on w pins sticking out of my toes. Tied a sock on it saying that will stop the pins from getting hooked on things. Well it doesn't. Cast is so tight my foot is numb. I'm afraid to go back there. It should get zero Stars. 0 ZERO . ZERO. ZERO ZERO ZERO ZERO DO YOU GET IT ZERO THE WORST A PATIENT CAN GET TREATED. ZERO

First visit was very helpful in my situation.

Great experience with Dr. Bush

he is the best!I was a complicated case but he never let me give up!

Best doctor i have ever been associated with very caring

Very good visit

Awesome - very thorough and detailed. Personable - I really liked him and felt he was very honest

Dr. Bush is an excellent physician, I am so thankful that he was my son's physician when he had injured his foot. I encountered excellence at every encounter we had with orthoillinois and our physician Doctor bush.

I am very pleased with my surgery. Couple plates and some screws and at 6 months post I'm almost pain free. Dr Bush was very nice and has a great sense of humor 🤣 Thank you Dr. Bush!!
