“Dr. Vanderby treated me over a year ago with six or seven injections for pain management, which [unfortunately] resulted in little progress. She suggested I revisit my surgeon from previous back surgery. I advised I wasn’t happy with my previous surgeon so she recommended [a new surgeon] at Skokie Valley Hospital. On June 10, 2019, I had a major 8 hour spinal reconstruction. I can now stand straight and my pain is virtually gone. I wanted to sincerely thank Dr. Vanderby for her recommendation and not giving up on me! I appreciate her professionalism and caring attitude.”

“Dr. Vanderby is one of the best doctors I have ever seen. Very professional and follows up!”

“All the staff was polite & efficient. Dr. Vanderby was her usual timely, considerate and helpful self. I would never want to change physicians! Highly recommend IBJI and especially Dr. Vanderby.”
