Advanced Physical Medicine

All of the team at Advanced Physical Medicine & Therapy have been supportive and informative during my latest treatments as usual. I cannot say enough how much they have helped me get back to moving easier. Thank you Team Great Job

I highly recommend Dr. Tim Kolbaba. I have been a patient, along with 2 other family members, for many years. I went to see him recently for severe mid back and neck pain. After 8 treatments I was feeling extremely better and was released from care. Honestly I am basically pain free and with the exercises I learned from him I should be able to stay that way. Dr. Tim, is a very intelligent, energetic and compassionate doctor who tries to heal his patients quickly and permanently via lifestyle and exercise. Their entire staff is friendly and willing to listen to help you.

I met Dr. Patel at Randhurst Mall about 20 years ago. He has been my "go to guy" ever since. He is smart, straight forward and a gifted craftsman. You can't go wrong by working with him and his staff to get you feeling 100%.

My family and I have been patients at Advanced Physical Medicine & Therapy for years. Both Dr Vijay and Dr Tim have helped us recover from injuries and get back to the activities we love to do. The staff is wonderful and are all ready to help you get better! For the past few years I've had a chronic ankle injury that wasn't getting better. This past summer Dr Vijay suggested I get PRP injections into the torn tendon.

With taking some time off for healing and following Dr Vijay's advice to strengthen my ankle I now feel like it's getting stronger and I'm looking forward to returning to competitive running in 2022. Recently my husband was seeing Dr Tim for a back issue and Dr Tim noticed that one of his calves was swollen. He suggested that he contact his primary care dr for an ultrasound and it turned out he had a deep vein thrombosis (blood clot).

We are so grateful that Dr Tim noticed that and sent him to the hospital for the ultrasound. Mt Prospect is so fortunate to have such a great chiropractic practice in our community and we highly recommend their care!

I had neck pain, I looked for a Chiropractor and found this one. I called to make an appointment with Patel. That was a big mistake He checked me out, took some x-rays of my neck and asked me questions. Then he started to get expensive, had one of the girls tell me it would be $1500.00, 3 times a week for one month. That's all I had in my bank account, so I paid him.

Then he tried to sell me tubes of pain ointments at $20 a tube, this guy is money hungry. All he had me do is stretch a rubber band in front of my body, some stretching which I could of done at home and barely cracked my neck and back. Waste of money, none of that worked. The Joint Chiropractic down the street is more efficient and accepts walk ins. Patel is the worst Chiropractor I've ever been to.

My neck pain started to get worse. After the 3rd week when he saw I was getting worse, he was always mad, what happened to all those smiles. Ended up going to another Chiropractor, Dr Collins on Golf and Busse. He took an x-ray and MRI of my neck and found the problem right away, he said that I had a straight neck, a neck should have a curve and that's what was causing my pain, something that Patel didn't know. Dr. Collins had me get a neck posture pump device to get the curve back in my neck.

Within 2 weeks of using the pump, my pain was significantly reduced, and after a month, my pain was gone. Avoid Dr. Patel if possible, he's very expensive and won't know if you got a straight neck, even when he charges you extra for x-rays. As far as all these 5 star reviews, they're probably made up by Patel to lure more customers in, because when i went the whole month, the place was basically empty.

I have been seeing Dr. Tim for about 5 years for routine wellness, as well as for occasional aches and pains. The therapy that I have received from both Dr. Tim and Dr. Vijay has been extremely effective. They always get to the root cause of my pain, and the treatments really work when I commit the time and discipline to actually doing the exercises every day.

The rest of the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. I have recently had a new procedure that they offer, called PRP. This approach has restored the function and mobility of my shoulder after years of chronic pain and stiffness. At 53 years old, I'm lucky that I can continue to lead a very athletic lifestyle. This literally would not be possible without the therapy and guidance I have received from these guys. I highly recommend them.

I went to see Dr. Tim Kolbaba after having pain from a neck strain. He not only helped alleviate the pain but also identified other factors that were triggering the pain. I appreciated his holistic, patient-centered approach that equipped me with techniques to prevent the strain from occurring again in the future. Dr. Tim genuinely cares about his patients and demonstrates knowledge and empathy in equal measure.

I've been treated by Chiropractors on and off since 1975 and Dr. Tim Kolbaba is by far the finest and most interactive Dr. I have been to. He is genuinely concerned about each individual and their needs. The program of chiropractic and physical therapy with at home exercises helped me regain mobility and strength I thought was lost to the aging process. I would highly recommend Dr Kolbaba and his fine staff of therapists.

The entire staff at this business is first rate. They clearly know their stuff, and they have a great way of not only providing treatment, but explaining and teaching the patient how to help themselves improve. I cannot believe how quickly I am recovering and how much I have learned. The place is spotless, organized, comfortable and FRIENDLY. I wouldn't hesitate a minute to recommend them!

I have been treated for chiropractic and surgery recovery. This team is outstanding, I was able to be back in the gym from a full tear on my rotator cuff within 5 months due to the therapy and knowledge I received from Dr. Patel and his team. To have a team that understands the athletic recovery process and knows how to work with me. I cannot THANK YOU enough. If your looking for a great therapy institute, call for an appointment today!
