Access We know how hard it is for patients and doctors to wait. That’s why our consultation or procedure turnaround time is fast — 24 to 36 hours. We collaborate with other physicians to provide a team approach to care. Working with oncologists, surgical oncologists, bariatric surgeons, minimally invasive specialists, radiologists and cardiothoracic specialists allows us to form a multidisciplinary team capable of providing the highest level of specialized care. Additionally, to facilitate ease of access for as many patients as possible, the CERT team works in close collaboration with surrounding referring physicians to offer a range of services through several locations across the entire state of Illinois.

Communication As partners in your patient’s health, we keep you informed of your patient’s status at every point in the process.

Navigation Our nurse coordinators are dedicated to helping your patients navigate their care at UChicago Medicine, whether that care is a simple, one-time procedure or requires ongoing treatment.
