Your Visit to the Windy City
Travel to Chicago
Dr. Bohl and his team appreciate that many of his patients travel from out-of-state for their consultation. Our goal is to make your experience in Chicago as positive and productive as possible. If you are traveling to from out-of-state, please let us know so we can do our best to optimally and efficiently accommodate you.
If traveling for your consult, Dr. Bohl recommends booking a Monday morning appointment at the Rush Main Campus in downtown Chicago (1611 W. Harrison). This facility has the most options in terms of same-day CT/MRI if needed, and beginning the day early gives us the most time to get these scans done.
It is very important for patients traveling to their appointments to bring complete sets of records, including all prior operative reports, MRI/CT radiologist reports, and MRI/CT image CDs (containing the actual pictures). Every MRI or CT scan should have both a paper radiologist report and a CD with images. Please do not rely on your other provider to send them to us, as that rarely works. Please give all your records to the receptionist at the front desk upon arriving.
Please find resources below to facilitate your visit.
Airports
Chicago has two major airports: O’Hare and Midway. Both are excellent options for visiting the Chicago downtown office on the Rush University Medical Center main campus.
Lodging
Chicago has lots of great options for lodging. Three hotels within walking distance of the Chicago downtown office have special rates for our patients. There are fancier and less expensive options throughout the city.
See the city
If you are traveling to Chicago to see us, you might as well have some fun! Spend a day at the lakefront and see “The Bean.” Take in a Bears, White Sox, Bulls, Blackhawks, or Cubs game. Explore the Museum of Science and Industry. Head west to Oak Park to visit Frank Lloyd Wright’s home and studio.
