At Men’s Health Chicago, we take the safety of our patients and our staff seriously. As of this time, our offices are still open and seeing patients with the exceptions below. Please be advised that we are working within local and national guidelines to keep our patients and staff safe. We are doing everything we can to continue serving your health care needs.
We understand this is fluid situation and will be implementing several changes in our offices effective immediately:
New Patients must call in advance to schedule an appointment – We will not be accepting Walk in New Patients at this time. All New Patients will need to schedule an appointment.
If you are experiencing COVID-19 and/or Flu like symptoms, please call our office so we may direct you to a provider who will further assist you prior to making an appointment.
Our office now offers telehealth allowing us to evaluate patients electronically while protecting the safety of other patients and staff members in the office.
What Men’s Health Chicago is Doing to Ensure Patient Safety:
We have implemented a thorough screening process and made arrangements to practice proper “social distancing” to avoid close contact in our office with other patients. We also accommodated areas which allow us to quickly isolate anyone experiencing potential coronavirus symptoms.
Our providers and employees are effectively using personal protective equipment (PPE) such as masks, gloves, goggles and gowns and thoroughly cleaning our offices with products that have been approved by the EPA daily.
Tips for Preventing the spread of illness’:
Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth
Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol
Avoid close contact and practice “social distancing” – 6 feet apart from one another
Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue and dispose immediately. If tissue is not available, use the inside of your elbow
Disinfect surfaces, major touch points of your home/office as much as possible
STAY HOME if you are sick
We encourage everyone to continue follow the CDC and IDPH guidelines and wish everyone to stay safe and healthy during this time.

Do you remember when your practitioner actually knew your face and remembered your name? WE DO!
At Men’s Health Chicago, located across four convenient locations in The Loop of downtown Chicago, Schaumburg, Naperville, and Barrington Illinois, we are not your typical Internal medicine/adult primary care office. Since we designed our practice with a focus on men’s health, we knew we had to provide our community and patients with a facility and team that was able to follow through instead of simply “referring out and forgetting”. At MHC we practice what we call “Head coach medicine”, meaning that our practitioners will stick with you from the beginning to the end and help call the plays instead of just handing you off and forgetting about you. We now offer in-house joint manipulation, and physical therapy along with other modalities to treat musculoskeletal injuries; this way your practitioner can constantly assess your progress and modify treatment plans real time; most offices refer out to a physical therapy facility and do not see the patient again until after the treatment is completed often resulting in excessive or sometimes insufficient treatment.
Follow-up
Our patients tell us that one of the things they love about our office is the personal attention and follow-up we provide. Even if we do have to refer you out to a specialist, we will ensure that we stay in the loop and help you understand the often confusing process of healthcare. The primary goal is the prevention and early detection of disease. With an experienced staff of medical professionals who specialize in internal medicine, Men’s Health Chicago treats a range of illnesses and disease in all patients, with a focus on men’s health and wellness.
Men’s Health Chicago has four convenient locations in The Loop of downtown Chicago, Schaumburg, Naperville, and Barrington Illinois, that provide a friendly and relaxed environment designed to make patients feel as comfortable as possible.
