Dr. Erwin George Szela

Dr. Szela is a very experienced gynecologist. He has taken care of my medical needs over 10 years. Dr Szela is professional, knowledgeable and attentive to my concerns regarding my health. I highly recommend him for all your gynecological needs.

I had abnormal uterine bleeding for about a month and ended up in the ER. The ER doc thought I had just a gastritis episode despite my bleeding. I then went to an immediate care and they diagnosed me with constipation of all things-obviously that was not causing my bleeding. I was super frustrated and was referred finally by my PCP to Dr. Szela. As someone in medical school, I had a good idea of what needed to be done to figure out my diagnosis and Dr. Szela was the first one to actually do that. He was extremely knowledgeable on the subject of abnormal uterine bleeding and we talked at length to try to get all the history behind this. Although all my labs and tests came back normal and we couldn’t come to a conclusive diagnosis, he prescribed me a hormonal regimen that seemed to fix the problem so I was satisfied. The only reason I gave 4/5 stars is he is a bit more of a genius technical type and not social type so that’s probably why other patients perceive him maybe as “cold”. I also would have liked to try to explore more of why I had the hormonal imbalance in the first place. Overall he is a trustworthy, extremely knowledgeable physician and I felt comfortable around him.

Let me start by saying I am only giving this review a POOR rating because of Dr. Szela's staff. They are clearly unprofessional, rude, argumentative, and they feel the need to belittle every patient that walks into their door. Let alone when a patient, like myself, invokes their right to refuse a pregnancy test, since I had a hysterectomy 2 years ago, they felt the need to "run and tell." Let alone they lied and falsified my medical chart and claimed they did an " in house pregnancy dipstick urinalysis; negative." First If a patient refuse to take a urine test YOU CAN'T PLACE ON A CHART POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE FOR ANY RESULT. That, my friends, is called falsifying medical records. The Schaumburg office is the worst. And I should not have to inconvenience myself and travel to his other offices; either way the nursing staff and desk staff switch offices. You want to make your patients happy..Clean house and get rid of your entire nursing staff and front desk staff. They represent you...

Last app was a month ago, was told to start therapy and Cassandra would call me but still nothing, called last week and this week to speak directly to Dr Szela and Kelly called me back. Let a message but no one in the office knew about the referral call I was waiting on?! Called today I’m home sick from all this mess! Waiting on yet another call and all this is after doing everything he’s told me too including 3 major surgeries and 3 outpatient..... I’m just so frustrated w the pain and discomfort

My experience with Dr Szela was excellent. Very professional and competent.

H did not look at me only at the computer while he was typing, I was explaining my situation and he never looked up once. DO NOT GO TO HIM. He was not paying attention to me and seemed to care less

Although I was aware of my infertility years prior he required no additional testing before offering surgery. He is straight to the point, doesn't get to know his patient, and not sympathetic, however I do feel that has experience and knowledge can be trusted.

Don't go to this guy, he just wants to see and touch your breast and vagina which is called for "test"

I am extremely impressed with Dr. Szela! I saw him exclusively throughout my pregnancy and he also delivered my son. My experience with Dr. Szela has been great! He takes the time to address any questions a patient might have and has a great bedside manner. He made all the right calls and recommendations during my pregnancy for which I am so grateful! He is a very intelligent guy with tons of knowledge and experience in his field. I recommended him to a couple of friends and they are very pleased with him as well. Great doctor!

Dr. Szela cared for me for a few pregnancies and performed a few surgeries on me for endometriosis. His bedside manner is excellent. I can't give him 4 stars however because there are two shortcomings. His office staff are not very professional and I experienced a wait time of three hours for an ultrasound. Also wait times in general for appointments were multi hour events. After that nightmare with the ultrasound, I found another obstetrician for my third child. As far as surgical technique and follow-up, I think he did a good job in preserving my fertility. I never really got that much pain relief though and ultimately wound up having a hysterectomy recently, which ended the nightmare for me. However, I am very grateful that I have three wonderful children. Many with endometriosis are not able to have children and I feel that this doctor helped me preserve my fertility to accomplish this.

Dr. Szelas staff are not perfect but it's worth going to women first just for him. The lab girls are great! Dr. Szela is by far the best doctor I have visited. I've been to 2 other gynecologists, they sucked! Not only he has great bedside manner or that he's extremely professional but he also so much knowledge regarding his profession. I mean really, the man is a genius! Just from explaining my symptoms he knew what was wrong. After diagnosing me correctly he also treated it promptly. Thanks to Dr. Szela I have no pain. When he diagnosis patients he gives options of what he can do for you, but never forces you to agree on what he recommends. He definitely gives you the option to decide.

I had met Dr. Erwin Szela at the Hoffman Estates office for cyst in my ovaries and fibroid in my uterus. Based on Dr. Szela's diagnosis he recommended me to go through hysterectomy of my Ovaries, Uterus and Fallopian tube using Da Vinci robotics. He insisted that I go for this surgery. I left his office requesting some time to make my decision. I went for a second opinion with a different doctor and I was told that no surgery was needed as my cyst and fibroid were not as big. It's been a year and I have had no issues with my cyst or fibroid. Thank God I did not listen to Dr. Szela's recommendation as hysterectomy would have been disastrous.

Dr. Szela is wonderful..he delivered my oldest son 19 years ago and I have been going back ever since...he is caring and know what he is talking about I would highly recommend him and the practice he is with

He is simply amazing, the best doctor I've ever visited. Definetly knows his stuff. I'm not thinking of changing doctors and I'll definetly recommend Dr. Szela to who ever needs a gynecologist

hated my visit.. he doesnt seem to care or respect patients' comfort levels n gives unwarranted opinions too..

Dr. Szela is one of the best doctors I have visited, he's extremely smart, professional, and knows what he's talking about. Goes in good detail explaining options of what could possibly be wrong, does follow-ups till figures out what's wrong and solves it promptly. Explains procedures before performing them. He delivered my son and has helped me through it all, even minor problems. I have recommended this doctor to who ever needed a gynecologist and will continue to do so. Thank you Dr. Szela for helping me and for being patient with me this past 5 years, I couldn't of asked for a better Dr.

He rushed me into an unnecessary c-section. My "failure to progress" was actually his "failure to wait."

Szela delivered my middle son. He is very professional and easy to talk to about problems. He listens to you and addresses you concerns. Along with the delivery of my middle son, Szela performed a laparoscopic assisted total hysterectomy. He informed me of my risk and what could happen once I got into the OR. I do and have recommended him for all your gynelogical or Obstetric needs.

Dr. Szela delivered both of my children and I have been his patient for 10+ years. Between difficulty in carrying a child to term, to finally giving birth, to other gynocological problems, Dr. Szela has been caring, professional, and always takes time to fully explain everything. He is a wonderful doctor.

Dr. Szela is an amazing doctor. From my abnormal tests 8 years ago, to my very complicated high risk pregnancy a year and a half ago, he has taken very good care of me. He's the only OBGYN I trust to take care of me, and the only one I would ever reccommend. He has also performed 3 laproscopic surgeries for me with great skill and a wonderful bedside manner.
