Julie Brandies, M.D.

She has been my provider prior to her joining Advocate. In the past I felt she provided the best care for me. My thoughts have changed and I am disappointed in the care I am receiving. I doubt that I will be back.

As it relates to my answers regarding surgery or other procedures, they are not meant to be negatives toward Dr. Brandies. I answered the way I did, because Dr. Brandies and I have been, up to this point, on the same page, so she already knows what my thinking is regarding having other procedures performed. And, if it's any indication, I followed Dr. Brandies from NMG (where I'd been a patient of hers for quite a number of years) to Advocate.
