Ullman Julian B MD

Like another reviewer, I feel compelled to write a review based on the 1 star review here.
I now live on the west coast, but when I lived in Chicago, Dr. Ullman was my gynecologist, recommended to me by my boss, whose wife was a patient. These were very wealthy, well-​educated people who researched for a living and who chose only the best. That’s #1. #2: my personal experience, and I am very picky as I also have a medical background and I know what goes on «behind the scenes», was that Dr. Ullman was knowledgable, prudent, extremely professional, kind and sympathetic. I felt respected in his office. After my exam, he would ask me to get dressed and meet him in his office, where he spoke to me like I was an intelligent human being deserving of respect, and not just another «piece of work» to dispense with as quickly as possible (other MDs quickly fly through the bare minimum they feel they must say to keep from being sued, while you are perched and freezing on the end of the table in your paper gown. And then of course they rush from the room, not to be seen again in the event you have thought of a follow-​up question.)
I had a serious case of fibroids, and at that time the only solution available was surgery. I opted for a myomectomy (just removing the fibroids, not a hysterectomy) and Dr. Ullman did a great job. He came to see me in the hospital every day, walked right in and truly paid attention to how I was progressing, as opposed to most who look in the door so they can write a note in the chart and be paid. Once again, he was very professional, and treated me the way he would treat a family member.
I truly believe that the woman who wrote the 1 star review is mistaken as to which Dr. she saw. The description of her experience is just impossible to believe for anyone who has been a patient of Dr. Ullman’s, as the other 5 star reviews attest to, and also the nearly 5 star reviews on healthgrades (I believe is the name of the other site). And please bear in mind: ob-​gyn MDs are subjected to profound and impossible-​to-​schedule emergencies. Wouldn’t you like to be a priority if your baby’s life were at stake?

I have been a patient of Dr. Ullman’s for 11 years now. I have never had any issues with him, he is thorough and will follow up with any issues you might have. I have been able to go in not only for my annual visit, but when I had Strep, when I had to have blood work done to check my basics and whenever I needed to have other blood work done. He is very nice and personable. I would definitely recommend Dr. Ullman to any of my friends looking for a male gyne. I feel he is much nicer then the woman doctor I was seeing before him.

could not get into any other doctors that month in that practice, but he was free (now i know why) he showed up an hour and half late while i sat in the room in that paper gown. finally got dress and had to search for him. he said he would be in in 10 minutes. i told him i had to get back to work… got the paper gown back on and waited 30 more minutes. his manner is cold and harsh. and now i need a refill of a prescription and my pharmacy has called him 7 times, i have called 3 times and he will not get back to either of us. find anyone else to go to!
