Alecia Hurley is absolutely phenomenal. I have never, ever had a psychiatrist that was as helpful as her. I felt very comfortable talking to Alecia about any issues I had. She is incredibly personable, and made me feel extremely valued. She was incredibly thorough and made sure we found a treatment plant that worked with me. My experiences with other psychiatrists have always felt impersonal, cold, and transactional. I wish I could have continued my care with Alecia, but unfortunately moved to another state. I cannot recommend Alecia enough!!

I found my session with Doctor P. To be interactive, illuminating and very thorough. She asked many thought provoking questions about issues pertaining to the arc of my life. Her holistic approach covered my younger years, how my life evolved in youth, to teens years, my young adulthood existence, mid-life thoughts and behaviors, and she smoked-out critical aspects of my life as an older adult. She also explained rules of engagement, and to make sure that I talk to her before making any changes to my medication. I trust her and look forward to working with her on my psychological challenges and corresponding anxiety disposition…

In today’s world it’s tough finding a psychiatrist that is knowledgeable, attentive, and reliable. I wish I would have found Alecia Hurley years ago! She takes the time to build rapport and has been patient while we find the medication that works for me. I always look forward to seeing her! So glad I found someone I can refer people to!

Dr. Kordik is an amazing psychiatrist who truly listens and helps you focus on the areas you want to work on. Throughout my recovery, many people have played a role in supporting me, and Dr. Kordik has been an integral part of that journey. A great psychiatrist is someone who not only provides expert medical guidance but also fosters a safe and compassionate environment where you feel heard and understood. Dr. Kordik does exactly that—offering thoughtful insights, practical strategies, and unwavering support. With patience, empathy, and a deep commitment to helping patients improve their mental well-being, Dr. Kordik has made a significant difference in my life.

I have seen Dr. Kordik for several years, and I cannot say enough good things about him. He is a great listener and willing to work with you to find the right combination medications to help you. He is very responsive if you need to contact him via email. My husband sees one of the nurse practitioners and he only has wonderful things to say about her too. I cannot recommend Modern Mental Health enough.

I have seen Dr. Meghan Baldwin for almost a year now. I first came to her with only one concern: the medications I was taking were impacting my life so much that I could not do anything outside without bringing 2-4 sets of dry, clean clothes. Together, we adjusted my medications until the side effects felt more manageable and I'm happy to say that I can now do outdoor activities again! Not only that, but I've been having significantly better sleep and less symptoms after getting everything switched up. She is very kind, professional, and provides valuable insight each time we talk, and I would highly recommend both her and Modern Mental Health Chicago. Thanks for all of your remarkable help!!!

★★★★★★★★★★Brett LeaveyJan 2022

Dr Kordik was understanding and professional, never giving me the notion that he was not more than able to provide exactly what I needed today. He came highly recommended, and I was not disappointed. My circumstances for seeing Dr Kordik today were probably not the same as someone else, but I would still highly recommend him.

★★★★★★★★★★Brena McFarlinDec 2021

Dr Kordik is an excellent listener and makes great recommendations based on the individuals needs. I think he has the ability to make people feel comfortable and provide help and support. This is the first time I have dealt with someone willing to have me see a separate therapist that I have been working with but will still follow through with me to help with management of my mediation. He makes sure to get my medication refill sent to the pharmacy in a timely manner and is available for questions if they should ever come up. I am confident that I have the best possible people in my corner!

★★★★★★★★★★Michael MeisterMay 2021

Dr. Kordik is an amazing professional. Not only is he an incredible psychiatrist and addictionologist, he is a compassionate and empathic health provider. Dr. Kordik has guided me in my process of healing and been a strong advocate for me in my professional arena. It's been a pleasure working with him.
