Ravenswood Pediatrics

I've brought our foster child into the office several times now. The attention and care that our little guy has received on each visit is simply astounding. If you've interacted with the foster care system, you know how challenging it can--how frustrating the ups and downs are. But, every time we come to Ravenswood Pediatrics, we are reminded that there are people who DO care about our little guy!

Thank you to the staff for all you do. Honestly, you are making a difference!!!

10 Stars.

My daughter currently has a 106 degree fever and his phone number is disconnected. My wife & I have both tried several times from different phones, checking the number from multiple websites. Inexcusable.

My son was under his care for 3 years,we love Dr. Ochs, unfortunately, we cant say the same about his staff. The staff working in the front was rude and unaccommodating!!Well,with this kind of behavior you will really lose patients.Better go down and set an appointment with Advocate Childrens Clinic on the 4th floor in the same building.They have nicer staff & accommodating

Dr. Ochs is just one of a kind - in a good way! He is not pushy with vaccines, he tells you his opinion but he also respects yours. I called him one night because my son was running a really high fever, and the next day he called to see how he's feeling. This really impressed me! He is a really kind and cheerful person. Oh, and you never feel rushed when you see him. Never! He takes his time, sometimes a little bit too much :), but I would rather have this than feel like he wants me out of the office ASAP (my previous doctor was like that). His nurse practitioner, Margaret, is also great

We love love Dr. Ochs he is very helpful and nice. He makes you feel great as a first time mom. He always tells you please call him if you need anything. I am so lucky to find a great pediatrician so close to home.

What a great place ! Dr Ochs is so sweet and gentle with our little baby. He genuinely cares about his patients. We thought we wouldn't find a better pediatrician than our baby's doc who is in Los Angeles, but now that we moved to Chicago, we're so happy of finding Dr. Todd Ochs.

Worst experience I ever had! I had a 1 pound born baby with different problems and dr Ochs never did any test on him nor sent him to any specialist. One day my son was so sick with breathing problems and I left several messages but never got a call back from dr. Ochs. I can't take any risk, I had to change pediatrician. If you have a very sick child, don't waste your time going there. As soon as I got a new dr. I felt the positive change.

Dr Ochs is AMAZING and is a perfect Pediatrician who has a great cheerful personality and any kid would love him instantly. I would give 5 stars if I've to rate just Dr Ochs alone. The 3 stars is because of his nurse who doesn't know ANYTHING and who needs to be fired ASAP if Dr Ochs doesn't want his ratings to get affected. I was never given a health questionnaire to fill out despite asking for it. No information on allergies, social status etc was asked nor did I fill any. I was only asked for insurance information and was given insurance related papers. But at the end of the

All around, I really disliked this practice. The place waiting area is crowded, dingy and always looks dirty. You will always wait about an hour to even get into the doctor's office where you will wait about 30 minutes more. I chose Dr. Och's because he was decently reviewed, he was in my HMO plans and the options were few, and the practice was not that far away. As for Dr. Och's himself, I think to put it diplomatically, he's a nice enough person with an affable demeanor, great interaction with kids (you can tell he really cares about kids), but I honestly can't speak

Our family absolutely adores Dr. Ochs. We feel like we hit the jackpot when we ended up with such a caring and knowledgeable pediatrician. We have been with him for 10 years, as our children are now 10 and 4. He is funny, patient, kind, knows what he is doing, and also takes the time to learn about his families. It truly feels like a partnership with Dr. Ochs. We love that he is not an alarmist, which is very soothing to parents (especially first time parents!) I highly recommend.

Dr.Ochs is the best! He's been my son's pediatrician since he was a newborn. I liked the fact he was willing to work with me on an alternate vaccine schedule. I wasn't comfortable with the number of vaccines given at one time, so he let me know which ones were a must and which ones we could space out a bit. He's great with my son too, makes him feel at ease. He also makes the parents feel comfortable esp when their little ones are sick. If your child is sick, they will fit you in so they can be seen the same day which is great!

Dr.Ochs has been our pediatrician for 6.5 years, and before that my brother in-law's pediatrician. He has a rapport with kids that is unbelievable. When I was concerned about a cough he tickled my son to check breathing- how cool is that! He "finds" creatures in their ears, and talks with them.

When our son was born he stopped gaining weight. it was determined that was because he has congenital growth delay, and is a late bloomer. But before that we had to go to appointments and specialists. He was supportive through out and when we said that nothing was helping, he supported

My daughter has been a patient of Dr. Ochs for 8 years. We consulted with him before we adopted her from China.

Dr. Ochs is a great doctor who knows his stuff. However we have been very unhappy with his old practice. Too often we were forced to see other doctors because Dr. Ochs was so busy. I am thrilled that he has set up his own practice. Just made our first appointment with him at the new place.

Dr. Ochs has been my family pediatrician for over 20 years and he is THE BEST with kids. He puts parents at ease when kids are sick and makes the kids at ease with his goofy talking fish and other props in the room. We've never had to wait too long for him and he has always been straightforward and kind.
He has a friendly and casual demeanor that is a great fit for me and my family. I recommend him 100%.

We chose him specifically because he is supposed to specialize in adoption. If you choose him for this reason, BEWARE. You should know that: his own research agenda (which he told me quite a bit about) is proving that a higher percentage of adoptees and foster children have fetal alcohol syndrome than people currently think. What this means for you: That he will uniformly tell you that your child has Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (we have since had a team of Early Intervention therapists as well as a second doctor examine our son, and no one found the tiniest bit of evidence in that direction).

We went to Dr O on a recommendation and have been super pleased. Although he is quite a character, it something that is endearing, as his care and concern are clear. It is also clear that he is exceptional at what he does and his love for his job is ever present. He is an open person as well as a caring and competent Dr. I too felt a tad uncomfortable, my first visit, with his openness, but now that I know him a bit better, I wouldn't have it any other way. It let's me know that he hears my concerns- Unlike some other Dr's we have seen with my son, Dr. Ochs addresses them, and

Getting an appointment for your little one with Dr. Ochs might necessitate a bit of waiting, but it's totally worth it. He's one of the most well-regarded pediatricians in Chicago, and there's a reason for that.

I originally started bringing my son to Dr. Ochs when I was unhappy with my original choice of pediatrician. My son was having problems gaining weight, and the pediatrician was pushing me to stop nursing even though my milk supply was fine. Dr. Ochs observed my nursing and came to the conclusion that my baby's appetite was poor and that my milk supply had nothing
