Claus J Fimmel

Careful and methodical. Answered all questions. Followed up with a personal call from the doctor himself

I saw Dr. Fimmel in December 2021 for the first time. I was referred to him by my PCP and I can honestly say he is hands down one of the most compassionate, knowledgeable and caring physician specialist I have encountered. He spent a lot of time explaining the findings of my previous imaging tests and took all the time I needed to completely understand options and next steps. I can’t praise his bedside manners and knowledge enough. If I could give him 10 stars, I would! If you need a wonderful specialist who still treats patients like people of value and NOT just a number , Dr. Fimmel is your doctor, I saw Dr. Fimmel in December 2021 for the first time.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRACTICE. We had a horrible experience and I am a NorthShore Employee! Our original appointment was rescheduled for 3 weeks later. Then we received a call and it was rescheduled AGAIN. When we showed up they said that the doctor couldn't help us with my husband's diagnosis. Then they rescheduled us again for 3 weeks later with Fimmel. Fimmel wasn't particularly respectful and ordered an MRI for my husband. We informed the office that we were getting the MRI at an outside facility, and we brought the CD with the MRI to Evanston Hospital Radiology as requested. Then we heard nothing for weeks literally 4 weeks, despite calling and messaging the doctor's office. Then after asking for the practice manager we finally get a call back and are asked to bring in the CD again. We are still waiting on a final read for the MRI. WHAT A NIGHTMARE

Dr Fimmel listened and explained my condition in terms I could understand. He asked the "right" questions. I felt comfortable and felt that he cared for his patients. He took time to answer my questions.

Funnel was wonderful with my son who has special needs. Thorough, intelligent and kind.

The best. Period.

Dr. Fimmel is a true and real doctor! He really cares for his patients. A doctor who will spend the effort for you. I can't express enough in words how grateful I am. I truly believe God is with him.

Dr. Fimmel is a superb physician. Let me say that many years ago I had a difficult time with my colonoscopy.

Plus it doesn't hurt that he has a warm,caring sense of humor! I give him the highest accolades in that I will recommend him for friends or family. One of the best doctors ever to care for me!!

Misdiagnosed. Avoid so he doesn't neglect you to death.

Recently diagnosed with an auto-immune disease and abnormal liver enzymes. Dr. Fimmel spent an exceptional amount of time with me discussing my history, symptoms, and treatment. He was an active listener and shared his thought process to determine my likely diagnosis and treatment. He performed tests on-site and communicated clearly and at a pace that met my needs. He was empathetic and yet solid in his medical advice. Highly recommended.

An amazing Doctor. I'm almost at a loss for words to describe how much this Physician has meant to my life. He's a good man, a good person.....just happens to be so skilled in his field that he dwarfs the jaded know-it-alls that dare to call themselves his peers. Dr. Fimmel is without competition.

Very accommodating , makes you feel at ease, gives thorough answer or explanation to your questions and concerns. He and his staff especially Kristhine are pleasant and very helpful. Medical team like them, makes you look and deal w/ what you're going through in a positive perspective. Thank you Dr Fimmel.

This man was rude, condescending, and downright insulting when I talked to him. I would recommend to anyone to find another GI doctor. There are plenty who actually care, and are willing to treat you like a human being.

Let me be absolutely clear: I have hepatites C, gnome 3, and cirrossis......This is a very serious diagnosis, extremely touchy to treat, scary, and hard to comprehend at times. Dr Fimmel has not only helped instill in me the confidence that I can beat this, but he know exactly what he wants to do. He takes my phone calls, returned my emails within an hour or so......not just me either.....every patient I speak with loves this guy. A great doctor.......
