The staff here in the Northbrook office were extremely friendly from the moment I stepped foot inside the door. They were very easy to work with and listened to every concern by giving definitive answers when asked questions.

Dr. Doshi is amazing! I get severe sinus infections and sinusitis on top of having a bad deviated septum. From day 1 I felt like I found a place and a doctor that cares. They explained everything step by step down to options that fit me. I opted to do the balloon procedure to see if it would help instead of doing surgery...I knew I made a right decision. 100% recommend this place. They truly care ♥️

Made me feel seen and understood. So many doctors lately dismiss my inability to use a machine and act like symptoms are in my head. Thank you all for making me feel empowered.

Today was my first week follow up after my procedure and let me tell you I'm so glad I did it. Only the first week and finally feel the difference. Staff is very friendly, and they definitely make sure to find the root of any issue you may have to help you!

I’ve had longtime problems with allergies, sinuses, breathing/respiratory issues. Everything is in one place (assessments, allergy testing, CT scans, procedures). They are very knowledgeable to deal specifically with these issues. The setup and methods are modern and efficient. I can even do a sleep study at home with a simple device connected through a phone app. It is amazing that such a clinic like this exists!

Berin Simsek, PA-C is extremely knowledgeable about her profession and gives you an opportunity to fully explain your symptoms and concerns. She is empathetic with the patient provides an entire dialogue and encourages two-way communications at all times. Berin provided a range of treatments and an analysis of how to best approach!

Very pleased with the PA listening to me and my symptoms and having a plan to go beyond just putting a “bandaid” on my condition and sending me out the door.

This place has literally changed my life. I have been a lifelong sufferer of sinus problems. Through the years, I have tried multiple over the counter remedies, seen several ENT specialists, and had a majorly invasive sinus surgery. None of it has ever really helped, and the surgery made it worse. I went to ADVENT and I'm breathing more clearly than I ever thought possible. They truly delivered significant results. I am and will forever be grateful for the major improvement in the quality of my life.

If you snore, have sleep apnea and don't want to wear a CPAP machine this IS the solution you're looking for. One of the best decisions I've ever made.

Every step of the process was seamless and I felt like they legitimately cared about me the entire time. Unlike what other ENTs offered, my total surgical procedure was a 30min out-patient procedure and I was back on my feet the same day. I’m six weeks post-op and I can 100% say that this procedure fixed my breathing issues and improved my quality of life. I’m sleeping more soundly (I have the data to prove it), my energy levels are better and I haven’t been congested or had to mouth breathe once.

He has good bedside manners and seems to enjoy communicating with patients, and seems to be genuinely interested in a positive outcome for me. My snore score is down from 168 to an average low of about 40. THAT IS INCREDIBLE! I can now breathe through my nose on a regular basis without any effort. SO glad I went and took a chance.

This is a 1-stop-shop for issues dealing with those miserable nose, sinus and throat and breathing issues with lots of solutions and info to make an informed choice. Don’t waste your money on "a" specialist when it's all here under one roof and very reasonable cost wise. All we know is to go to Sleep centers that will slap miserable CPAP machines on you which only help with sleep disorders. Allergists give you sprays. Helpful, but ADVENT addresses several areas of sinus-nose-throat concerns. My Family member was given a Balloon Sinoplasty because sinuses were in bad shape from all previous nonsense and chronic drowning in mucus. He back at work next day with mild discomfort for 2 days. Major improvements! Was told if this didn't help as much as hoped, other things could be assessed. Very nice staff. Terrific follow up aftercare and support all along the way. Very professional.

"I went to ENT's for years and they did very little to help my sinus issues. They just prescribed nasal sprays for years, one after another. Advent was great. All appointments were very detailed and informative. They spend a lot of time looking into my sinus problems. My breathing is so much better but not perfect after my procedure. I will take the improvement they gave me any day over the ENT doctors I saw before."

I had gone to a specialist years ago to help with my breathing difficulties. He offered one option: a CPAP. Danelle went over many options. I feel very comfortable with my options, now.

Advent is great! My own ent didnt even do the basic checks she did. She caught why I was having trouble breathing. In a few minutes. I would recommend this to anyone to help you breathe better and sleep better.

Knowledgeable competent staff “top to bottom.” I highly recommend ADVENT over another local “pulmonary clinic” that I had been refer to for my sleep apnea, (that “Pulmonary Clinic” simply wanted to provide me with a CPAP machine without fully evaluating me nor offering any explanation or opportunity for discussion/asking questions).

I actually had an appointment at a different ENT office in the Chicago area. However, the person that took my appt was rude and I ended up canceling because I just didn’t have a good vibe about the experience. It was the total opposite with ADVENT thankfully! The ladies at the front desk were very nice and laid-back. The nurse that took me back for my vitals was awesome and kind. The PA that handled my consultation was the absolute best! She was so detailed and answered all of my questions. Do it! You won’t regret it!

I’ve been suffering with non-allergic rhinitis since I was a teenager. It was not uncommon for me to sneeze 200 to 300 times a day. Erbay resolved my nasal issues and years of suffering in one consultation.

I had balloon sinuplasty. The procedures were minimally invasive and with minimal pain. I have to say a dentists' injections have caused me more pain than these ADVENT procedures. Immediately after surgery, I was able to breath better and this has continued during the healing process. Amazing!

Dr. Wittkoff was so cool in the way he showed me everything the CT showed, and explained it with just the right amount of civilian language that I understood it all. I can now breathe and I no longer need nasal sprays. His staff is truly kind and gentle as well. Can't recommend it enough!

The day of my initial examination Dr. Liepert was quite thorough in going over my treatment plan for what exactly was wrong. The relief I am experiencing from Dr. Liepert's treatment is quite phenomenal. I breathe a lot better now, just two days later. My quality of life has greatly improved under his care.

My husband had balloon sinuplasty here at the Loop location on Jackson 12 weeks ago. All the P.A.'s and staff that we dealt with were wonderful. Had great results with no more snoring or breathing issues since the surgery. I would highly recommend this facility in particular and this surgery for anyone suffering from sleep apnea and failed rhinoplasty's. His breathing is so much better and getting a much better night sleep along with his energy back from breathing properly. GET IT DONE! ITS WORTH IT

All of my experiences have been absolutely fantastic here. 1st consultation, the PAs made me feel at home, welcome and eased my thoughts & made me feel I was meant to be there and it’s the right place. 2nd visit CT Scan, again - warmly welcomed, informed and educated on next steps and options given for myself, 3rd visit - balloon sinuplasty surgery day - Nicole the PA was awesome! Laid all the information out for me and made me feel at ease and not nervous about anything and Dr Doshi - very informative and laid back!

ADVENT has made the process of getting down to the root cause of my sleep issues so simple. Going into a hospital setting for a traditional sleep study isn't easy, convenient, nor are the results consistent. Having simple, convenient options from home are great to have access to.

I had been told by two doctors that my “anatomy” was a problem and that I’d always have sleep apnea and need a CPAP. I just got back from my CT scan and appointment at the Northbrook location. All of the staff who helped me were great and the doctor was beyond helpful. He advised I have to options to improve my breathing and sleep and took time to walk me through both while giving me an anatomy visual aid as well as showing me my own CT.

No more sinus headaches, snoring, and breathe so much better. The Dr was so good explaining everything he was doing while he was doing it. Not painful at all. I HIGHLY recommend going to Advent over an ENT in a medical office, my ENT couldn't find anything wrong.
