Every hospital has their own hospital staff that will see your child if they get admitted. At this time, we are not on staff with any hospital, so you are free to go where you choose.

The hospitalist on staff at the hospital you deliver at will see your newborn daily until you are discharged. Once discharged, you can make your first newborn visit in our office.

If you have an urgent matter after hours that warrants immediate attention of the provider, you can call the office at (815) 322-9300 and it will connect you to the after-hours hotline. If it is an emergency, please take your child to the Emergency Room.

At this time, no we do not. Being a cash-based practice, and offering vaccines at a cash rate, would be costly for the patient. We can help you determine the schedule for your family and guide you to where you can receive them.”

Love them. I always come in with questions and they give me options to check things out further if I want to. Easy to listen with out being judged. Recommend. They don’t take insurance but you can submit the super bill to your insurance which is nice.

They are excellent listeners. They focus on the root cause and finding actual, personalized answers for your child’s health & wellness struggles. So happy to have found them!

Valerie and the entire team at well rooted have been an intergral part of my sons health journey. After visiting multiple Drs and not receiving a clear answer, I was at a complete loss on how to help my son. After our initial meeting with Valerie, I immediately knew we were at the right place! Not only did she take the time to listen but reassured both my son and I that we would get to the root cause of the issue. It hasn’t been a quick fix, however, after 6 months my son was feeling better and back to himself and I couldn’t be happier! Valerie didn’t just put a bandaid on the situation, but truly got to the root cause. I’m hopeful for my sons future and it wouldn’t be possible without the help of Val and the entire staff at well rooted. I feel truly blessed to have found them and highly recommend them to any parent who has been let down by the traditional health care system.

Yesterday I took my daughter for her 4 year well visit and preschool physical. I had a great experience. I saw Valerie at the Oak Brook office. She answered all of my questions and did a through physical. In addition, recommend some things to incorporate to better my daughters digestion.

I recently moved here from out of state and have been having a very hard time finding providers in the area for my kids. After a long search, I found Well Rooted and am so happy I did. Excellent providers who truly care, who listen to the parents and child and are very knowledgeable. It is worth the drive and the cost.
