Carl N Graf III

Dr. Graf is terrific!! It was determined after going to the emergency room and having an MRI there that I had a herniated disc. I was in so much pain that I couldn't sleep, walk or stand. I called Dr. Graf's office the following morning and explained my situation and they were able to get me in for appointment two days later. I had explained to him that I had two herniated discs 23 yrs prior and had to have surgery to correct it. Dr. Graf actually recommended that I try an epidural injection and physical therapy. I could not be happier with the whole experience! I'm able to get back to my normal life activities again all with avoiding surgery this time. If you're having any doubts, please don't hesitate, call Dr. Graf's office and set up an appointment. I highly recommend him and will definitely see him again should the need ever arise.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr Graf, and the entire staff at Illinois Spine Institute. I was having back pain that suddenly became so painful I couldn't sit, I couldn't sleep and most of all I couldn't think about anything but the pain. When I met Dr Graf, he listened to my husband and I explain our active lifestyle and how the pain was affecting me. He spent time explaining to me the issue and how it could be corrected with minimally invasive surgery. I was petrified of having back surgery and friends recommended getting a second opinion, which I got, the other doctor wanted to perform a much more invasive surgery and his bedside manner was cold and uncomfortable. The day of my surgery the office staff, the nurses and most of all the doctors at the surgery center were so caring and concerned. Dr Graf was wonderful and took time make us feel at ease, and to talk to my husband and I before and after the surgery. Pretty much immediately following surgery I felt great. I still have days when I am sore, but I follow my PT exercises and I'm back to doing what I love. Dr Graf performed my surgery two months ago, yesterday I played golf, life is good.

Dr Graf is a miracle worker. My back feels better than it has in years. I highly recommend

Professional and thorough. Helped me tremendously.

I've always considered myself a very active and healthy person. However, I developed a bulging disc that caused unbearable chronic pain. I tried everything to fix it on my own but after a year and a half, I sought out Dr. Carl Graf to perform a microdiscectomy. Everything was explained thoroughly by Dr. Graf and his staff. The procedure itself was minimally invasive and was performed on an out-patient basis. When I woke up from surgery, my nerve pain was completely gone. And the recovery time has been minimal as well. I'm living my life again. Needless to say, I am a huge advocate for Dr. Graf and his team. It’s not worth it to live through chronic pain. I'm beyond grateful!

Friendly staff and a doctor that actually listens!! Takes his time and explains everything very well. Totally recommend!

Dr. Graf was able to see me quickly and within a week I was free of the worse pain I ever experienced. Plus, I followed up on another condition because of him that may have saved my life. Thank you Dr. Graf.

Thank you so much Dr. Graf for your all help throughout my kid's recovery from very painful back pain problem. You are very humble and always replied all our questions very satisfactory. All front staff members are also very helpful specially Wendy. Thank you again all of you for giving my kid a psinless life ????????

Dr Graf and his Team gave me my life back. When other surgeons wanted to do other procedures thinking they may work? Dr Graf and his team came up with a plan to which their intense confidence on how He approaches his surgeries will work! And I am proof that it did way past any of my own expectations. He has added many quality years to my life now for sure! Thank You Doc!!!! P.S. I was hit with a crane and told my walking days were limited..... I walk, run slowly and most important ? I am pain free!! Dr Graf and his Team gave me my life back. When other surgeons wanted to do other procedures thinking they may work?

Dr.Graf is a good doctor. No complaints. He cares about his patients. Takes time explaining what's the problem is and gives you options. I had minor procedure done and the outcome was very good. Staff were very nice. Thank you all!

Dr. Graf and the staff at the Illinois Spine Institute in Crystal Lake were absolutely wonderful! I had been dealing with lower back pain and nerve pain shooting down my leg for months and Dr. Graf was the only doctor that took me seriously. He was able to book me in for surgery within 2 weeks of seeing him and really seemed to care about the amount of pain I was in. He takes time with his patients during visits and he even went out of his way to hunt down the anesthesiologist right before they wheeled me in for surgery to ask him about a concern I had on my EKG. After 8 months of constant pain, Dr. Graf gave me my life back and I will be forever grateful. Dr. Graf and the staff at the Illinois Spine Institute in Crystal Lake were absolutely wonderful!

Dr. Graf was absolutely amazing! He cares very deeply for his patients and advocates in every way for them. I saw Dr. Graf for a work comp injury and he was very knowledgeable about the whole thing. He wants to do whats best for his patients and the least invasive way to go first. I would recommend him to everyone! If you need a doctor for back pain go see him!

Dr. Graf was the third spine surgeon I went to see for L4 L5 spine problem. The other two doctor spent very little time explaining my issues, just wanted to do a spinal fusion. Dr. Graf explained I did not need a spinal fusion. Instead he performed a L4 L5 decompression and a partial laminectomy. My surgery was a major success. I am pain free, for the first time in years. Dr. Graf and his staff are Awesome!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dr. Graf if you have spine issues!!!

I could not of asked for better care from Dr Graf and his entire staff. Made my time before surgery and after go very smooth, Thankyou to all. Would highly recommend Dr Graf and his staff in need of Care

A coworker of mine recommended Dr. Graf for my spine issue. I had seen other doctors who just wanted to do a spinal fusion. I went to see Dr.Graf who took the time and explained why I did not need a spinal fusion.He performed a L4 L5 decompression and partial laminectomy in October of 2021.

Dr. Graf was extremely helpful and really cared about my back issues. He explained my options in a way that made me feel that he wasn't just in it for the money. His staff is very friendly as well. Ultimately I had an anterior lumbar fusion done, and the outcome was better than I expected. Will definitely go to Dr. Graf if I have any other spine issues. I've recommended him and his staff to multiple people already. Very, very pleased with the whole process. Thank you Dr. Graf! Dr. Graf was extremely helpful and really cared about my back issues.

Better learn some professional courtesy, you do too have access to Akumin MRI online. I know you are busy but that was so rude of you! I am not sure that I can trust you if you stiff me when I need support!

Dr. Graf is an excellent Spine Doctor! I would only trust him with my back surgeries. He fixed me up and I am able to work again!

I developed severe hamstring pain making it difficult to walk. After a year of doctoring, having MRI’s, PT, Epidurals with no relief, my doctor recommended that I see a spine surgeon. A neighbor had recently had back surgery with Dr. Carl Graf, of the Illinois Spine Institute and enthusiastically recommended him to me. I met with Dr. Graf and he ordered another MRI and upon review he recommended a laminectomy. I decided to proceed and his nurse at the Illinois Spine Institute scheduled the surgery, she was very efficient and explained everything and answered all my questions. Dr. Graf performed the surgery and I was amazed how good I felt immediately following, I was up and walking that afternoon. I came home the following day and used a walker for two days and then used a cane for one day. After that I walked daily without assistance. I only needed Norco for three days for pain then Tylenol. Within the next ten days I was able to walk between one and a half and two miles. The pain in my hamstrings is completely gone. I cannot praise Dr. Graf and the Illinois Spine Institute enough for their expertise. Bruce Little Elgin, IL I developed severe hamstring pain making it difficult to walk.

Highly recommend Dr Graf. He was recommended to me by a friend who had years of back issues resolved through surgery. I decided to see Dr Graf after experiencing 10 years of back problems and increasing limitations to everyday life. He was very personable and knowledgeable and was willing to listen. Based on what he saw in the MRI and X-Rays, he outlined what options needed to be considered to address the problem. We decided on surgery as the most likely option necessary to resolve the intense pain and discomfort. Immediately after surgery the pain was gone and I could fully walk normally again after a few days. After 2 months, I have had no pain or discomfort and I'm back to all activities to include walking 2 miles per day. Based on where I was, Dr Graf has given me back my life and I could not have asked for a better outcome. He has my highest recommendation.

I went with Dr. Graff for an IME (injured at work an insurance denying treatment) I had back surgery and can't recover. He was making several questions, because "there's too many pages to read and don't have time for that", he said. After telling him on most of the questions asked that the pain won't even let me have a normal life, his final report was I'm good to go back to work without restrictions, even when my job requires to lift up to 150 pounds. So he could be good for his patients but don't care people wellness if payment coming from workers compensation.

I went from doctor to doctor they could not find my problem. Then I went to see Dr Carl Graf he took one look at my MRI and said there is your problem! I wish I had gone to see him earlier!

Dr. Graf and the staff at Illinois Spine Institute are amazing! The physical therapist, Aidil, is great at what he does! I highly recommend them to anyone experiencing spine related issues.

I got my C5 and C6 ACDF with Dr Graf. He and his team did a great job. He was very explicative about the procedure. The post surgery follow up could have be better but the over all follow up was good. 7 months after I am close to full recovery and back to normal life/activities.

Absolutely a fantastic surgeon! Dr. Graff performed a laminectomy and laminotomy between L4-Lr5 and L5-S1 with decompression on 8/17/20. I was diagnosed with severe stenosis that had worsened after my previous back surgery in 2008. Dr. Graff thoroughly reviewed my case with unparcelled due diligence. I am back to pasty 80% in just 7 months . His follow up care has been excellent. I can't thank him enough. The ISI Therapy service adjacent to his office is the best I have ever been to.

Dr. Graf was incredible. I had been literally crawling around my home for 16 days after a disk herniated in my L5/S1 joint. I knew I needed surgery. Went to another location and then had Dr. Graf as a second opinion. His staff squeezed me in for a late appt on Friday and he was able to get me into surgery by TUESDAY (3 days before Christmas!!!). Even in this Covid world - the staff worked with me and my insurance to get it all approved in less than 4 days. I crawled into the hospital (per say) and walked out. Best decision EVER to go with him. The first doctor tried to convince me to do a spinal fusion - but I didn't want that. I never told Dr. Graf that - I let him tell me what he thought I should do and he suggested only doing the microlumbar discectomy (which is all I wanted done). No pressure for the bigger surgery - only took my needs into account. The follow ups were great - he was very attentive and caring.

After emergency surgery on my lower back in 2019, I was so limited in what I physically was able to do. Drs at that time thought it was good enough. I was referred to Dr. Carl Graf as I wasn’t accepting giving up things I loved. Dr. Graf was real and had a clear and confident plan for an ALIF procedure to replace the damaged disc. I went into it with no reservations but was ready for the small chance it wouldn’t work (Dr Graf was real about possibility of fail in the procedure). Everything before the surgery was very thorough from MRI to physical. Dr Graf and his team spent some time in pre op with me and assured me of their confidence. I went home the next day and my only pain was my incision. Dr Graf had detailed follow up appointments. Night and day difference from 2019 of having some surgery and left as “good enough” don’t bother us to having a Dr who really cared! Dr. Graf deserves nothing short of the highest praise and appreciation. I recommend him to anyone!

I had spent a very long time dealing with back pain. It got to the point where Pain pills and spinal injections and therapy gave me almost no relief. I was to the point where surgery was my only option. So, I had to have surgery and Dr. Graf was recommended by a work colleague as well as my pain specialist. After surgery and more therapy I was finally given my life back. I'm able to do the physical things that were almost impossible before my surgery. Thank you Dr. Graf and your wonderful staff.

I was referred to Dr Graf by another doctor and I’m so glad that I was! Dr Graf immediately recommended a minimally invasive procedure to alleviate the pressure on my sciatic nerve that was being caused by a herniated disc. The surgery was outpatient and almost immediately, I felt so much better! I no longer have sharp pain in my lower leg that I had been dealing with for so long. Dr Graf is incredible!!!!!

Absolutely a fantastic physician. He completely changed my life for the better after severe stenosis I couldn't even get through he day without taking 16 Advils a day! He diagnosed my problem with a very thorough due diligence. He's a great surgeon!

I recently went to Dr. Graf for a microdiscectomy for leg and lower back pain. he was fantastic throughout the entire evaluation and surgery process. if anyone has these issues, you should look up Dr. Graf for professional and expert care!

After determining that back surgery was necessary and after having surgery, I can only have nothing but praise for Dr Graf. His level of professionalism, attention to detail and willingness to take the time making sure all of our questions were answered makes it a wonderful experience to now live pain free.

I DEFINITELY WOULD AND HAVE RECOMMENDED DR. GRAF. DR GRAF IS VERY PERSONABLE AND FRIENDLY, TAKES THE TIME OUT TO ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS AND NEVER RUSHED MY VISIT.ALWAYS HONEST AND STRAIGHT OUT TELLS IT LIKE IT IS. I VISITED BOTH LOCATIONS CRYSTAL LAKE AND SHAUMBURG AND HIS STAFF IS VERY FRIENDLY AND WELCOMING. I ALWAYS HAD A GOOD EXPERIENCE.

Excellent surgery for hip and leg pain. Pressure on nerve in spine was the problem. Pain gone Immediately after surgery.

Dr. Graf and his staff was a pleasure to work with! Dr. Graf diagnosed the issues I had and had a plan that was right for me. One of the best spine doctors that I have found. Highly recommended!

Highly recommend Dr. Carl Graf at Illinois Spine Institute! I lived with pain for two years and finally decided to move forward with a double cervical spine fusion. Recovery was quick and I can't believe how the pain has gone away. No more tingling down my arms and now I can be active again without debilitating pain.

My condition required a full fusion at L5-S1. I had visited three other surgeons prior to meeting Dr. Graf, as my insurance was difficult to work with. I was very reassured after the first meeting with Dr. Graf, as he was confident about my diagnosis, and the procedure which was required to stabilize my spine. He was up front about expectations, and explained the procedure and potential complications thoroughly. I have significant metal allergies, so I was very pleased to know that Dr. Graf was able to confirm with the manufacturer that the implants did not include what I am allergic to. Of course the procedure itself was no fun, but I was determined to get home as soon as possible, so I followed instructions and rested. I took the time off work as recommended, so that I could recover for the first few weeks at home, and was able to go back part time once Dr. Graf released me from my restrictions. I was able to do physical therapy through the Schaumburg office with David Bragg as well- he helped me get back some core strength post op. The whole experience was a positive one- I don't say it was great because, well, it was back surgery, but I felt like I was heard when I described my pain, the exam and the review of my imaging correlated to what was explained to me, and Dr. Graf and the staff were all quite pleasant to work with. I would recommend them in a heartbeat. I have heard some scary stories, when it comes to back surgeries, so I was nervous in the beginning, but am so happy that I found Dr. Graf. Five stars for sure!

Dr Graf did my back surgery and I found him to be very friendly and knowledgeable. I am now pain free for the first time in 10 years! He and his staff are so helpful and really care about their patients. I highly recommend him!

Pleasant

I would 100% highly recommend Dr. Graf. He was very professional and made me feel comfortable. The care that I received was thorough the days since have been accompanied by comfort (something I didn’t Find elsewhere).

Dr. Graff is a skilled surgeon who takes the time to know and care for the individual patient. I highly recommend him.

After a work injury of falling off a ladder and a long stint of conventional treatment (injections, physical therapy, theraputic massage, exercise) finding only 1-2 days temporary relief of pain at best, I hesitantly committed to double fusion cervical surgery of my C5-6 & C6-7 this past May (2019). I'm so glad that I did! I am now living pain-free thank you to Dr. Graf. The surgery went very well. The first day or so of recovery was kind of rough, but it was major surgery, however, I started feeling better almost immediately after that. The surgical pain resided rapidly as did the lessening of the persistent pain I had been feeling for the past two years. I only have one small incision (hardly noticeable now) about 2 inches long just above my collarbone at the base of my neck. I completed 12 weeks of physical therapy following surgery and have nearly 100% range of motion back in my neck and no pain! I can't say enough about Dr. Graf's professionalism and patience as I tried the more

I can't say enough about Dr. Graf's professionalism and patience as I tried the more conventional therapies for nearly 2 years. I wish I would have done this sooner. Dr. Graf was very upfront and clear and easy to understand about what to expect. He has a great bedside manner and was open and quick to answer any questions I had. I highly recommend Dr. Carl Graf and the Illinois Spine Institute.

Dr. Graf was quite knowledgeable, as well as very skilled. He was able to talk me through my diagnosis, as well as my treatment. My surgery was not an easy one, but my recovery went just as planned. I was pleased to be able to say that the pain I have felt for over a decade was essentially immediately gone and I felt very good other than expected post-op discomfort. (once I was discharged that is, the a-lif and posterior instrumentation is no walk in the park!). I had a smooth recovery with very specific directions regarding what I was allowed to do at which stages of recovery. I had physical therapy at the Schaumburg office with David Bragg, and he helped me focus on rebuilding core strength. I really cannot thank him and Dr. Graf enough for giving my at least a decade of my mobility back- I am even running a little again! (pain free might I add!!)

Dr. Graf and the Illinois Spine Institute were recommended to me by a close friend who had been fighting back pain for some time. My situation was more urgent. I contacted the office on a Monday in April and Dr, Graf was able to see me by Thursday. Surgery was needed to relieve the pressure on my spinal cord which had caused me to lose muscle control in my left leg. When my insurance balked at surgery but instead wanted 6 weeks of physical therapy Dr. Graf and his office pushed back and surgery took place 2 weeks later. Having had 2 previous back surgeries, I cannot stress enough my total and complete satisfaction with Dr. Graf and the professionals that work in his office. He communicates easily and very straight forward which gave me a great deal of confidence. His insistence on physical therapy to aid in my recovery was and is greatly appreciated.

If you're searching for a knowledgeable Dr. who does his job well he's your guy. Very personable, explains things thoroughly, great bedside manner, good staff. He did an Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion. Highly recommend.

DR. Graf is the best. after a car accident I suffered with neck pain and intense numbness and tingling in my arm. I really didn't want surgery, but after all other alternative forms of relief failed to help IE. Therapy, Spine Epidurals. Dr. Graf explained the whole procedure to me and made me feel at easy. I got a double cervical fusion, and was pain free in a day or two. but the numbness and tingling were gone immediately. also the scar is hard to find. I would Highly recommend Dr. Graf

After many months of intense back pain and treatments from other doctors that did not help me, I was living a very compromised daily life. I am grateful to have been a patient of Dr. Graft because he correctly diagnosed my issues. His professional concern gave me confidence to have the spinal fusion, and he was excellent in helping me to understand the procedure, as well as all aspects of my recovery. I feel he is the very best in his field.

After being misdiagnosed by another doctor and then being told I needed spinal fusion by yet another doctor, I did the research and found Dr. Carl Graf and made an appt. for a 3rd opinion and Dr. Graf was the best! He said, after looking at my x-rays and MRI that I did NOT need spinal fusion but just a laminectomy. He got me in as soon as possible (2 weeks) and my surgery was absolutely successful! I could not walk for almost 2 months and my life was very limited to what I could do because of spinal stenosis. Dr. Graf gave me my life back!! I am forever grateful for his skill and success with my surgery and I hope he doesn't move away in case I need him again!! Highly recommend, and by the way, his bedside manner if VERY good, he is very easy to talk to and he really listens. I'm telling everyone I know who may need back or any kind of other orthopedic surgery to call Dr. Graf, I have his cards in my purse and hand them out as needed.

After being treated by other doctors for back pain for some time I went to see Dr.Graf after the recommendation of my family doctor. it didn't take long t feel at ease with Dr Graf. After testing he showed and explained what I needed all you had to do was look at the radiology films and that is what he said at the very start.

For 2 years I had dealt with a work related back injury. Lower lumbar. The pain went from my lower back, burning down the side of my leg with tingling and numbness in my shin and top of my foot. Couldn't stand for more than 5 or 10 min without pain and having to sit or lay for relief. After all other attempts to correct my injury failed including epidurals, surgery was recommended. As you can imagine, that thought is scary and you can only hope you get the best possible surgeon! I DID! 5-STARS!

Dr graf performed a spinal fusion on me. It was my first surgery. He was clear in describing what he'd do and what to expect. He was confident without being arrogant... he listened to my concerns and answered all my questions. My recovery has gone very well and I'm back to living a full life!

Easy operation. No pain after. My leg pain is gone. Very happy. Thanks

This guy is an absolute joke went there for a ime exam he didn't even look into my problem I have a herniated disc in my c5-6 vertabrate in my neck which was caused during my distal bicep tendon surgery and he was shaking like a leaf on a tree in October knowing he was gonna lie straight to my face don't trust this fool!!!

My family and I have used Dr Graf for years now. My son had a very difficult surgery on his discs in his neck and Sr Graf was the only one we would let do the surgery

I had suffered for many years with extreme back pain and radiating pain to my feet. I did have MRI X-rays and exams by other dr over the years. I was never diagnosed with my problem of stenosis of the L-4 L-5.dr Graf diagnosed it and described in depth my problem course of action and recovery time. I had my surgery in early January and was at Disneyworld by late march. I walked a great deal but also used a wheelchair for some areas. It was a beginning of a recovery that I could only dream of. I worked as hard as I could in therapy and home exercise to show my gratitude and my respect for the job he did. His professionalism and understanding was beyond expectations. Thank you very much Dr Graf from a disabled vet who now has a new lease on life! I had suffered for many years with extreme back pain and radiating pain to my feet.

I had a micro surgery to relieve a pinched nerve in my L5-S1 that caused my leg to lose feeling/sensation. I was in tremendous pain while walking too. I met with two doctor's, one of which was Dr. Graf who I elected to perform my surgery. I was extremely satisfied with how he talked, being extremely clear and concise. His explanation of the surgery and recovery time table was easy to understand for my wife and I. After having the surgery at the end of May and getting physical therapy in the summer I am happy to say I am completely pain free. In fact the pain I was having prior to the surgery was gone directly after the surgery, which Dr Graf mentioned would be very likely. Overall I am very satisfied with the service and care offered by Dr Graf and his medical staff/office and would recommend him to my family and friends. I have been able to return to my teaching position and fulfill all my responsibilities with no pain and couldn't be more thankful.

I wrote a negative review on December 8, 2016 about the mismanagement in office personnel. I meant to get a retraction review out earlier. Since that time I did undergo physical therapy and had seen Dr. Graf again. He was very concerned about my experience and told me that the office management had revised their procedures. I was happy to hear that and felt I could return to his practice for further care. I plan to make an appointment to have further evaluation about my back pain.

Dr Graf is an excellent surgeon.He did surgery on my neck. After surgery I had a short recovery and I'm doing great. Highly recommended!

Disappointingly poor listener. Over an hour wait past appt time.

Dr Graf is an excellent surgeon, I had a microdicectomy on my l5s1 done on Feb 7 , 2017. My pain was immediately gone after surgery, had my 2 months fellow up today, felt great , I would say I am almost 100% recovered. Thank you Dr Graf for your expertise and excellent care.

I have already referred Dr. Graf to family and friends. He is an excellent doctor and surgeon. The combination can be sometimes difficult to find. His staff is also very friendly.

Dr. Graf is very professional and a great bedside manner! He is genuinely concerned about his patients and never in a rush to get you out.

Dr. Graf answered each and every question thoroughly. Worried about my well being and the best approach about fixing the problem. Gave me options about what i wanted for the right approach.Understands what you are going through and the mechanics of the back.

Dr. Graf was kind, informative, and honest through every step of my care. My surgery was thoroughly explained and went well under Dr. Graf. Dr. Graf listened to me and what I was feeling and prescribed physical therapy which helped a lot. I am glad I chose to do the surgery and know if I should ever have any problems in the future, Dr. Graf will be able to provide the best care for me.

Don't bother with this one, he won't even help people that have Medicaid won't help the people that really need it!! Had back pain for 38 years since a horseback riding accident and you will get NO HELP from Dr.Graf.

I met with 3 other spine specialists and after meeting Dr. Graf, I knew he was the one. My pre and post surgery, as well as the surgery itself went so well, I don't even remember the leg pain I had for the previous 9 months. I was petrified about spine surgery, but Dr. Graf eased my fear and gave me all the information I needed to calm myself down. It worked!

My experience with Dr. Graf has been the best. He is personable and honest. His skill as a surgeon is beyond reproach. I would, and have recommended him to many people and friends. I trust his judgement completely and that is a very important part of the doctor/patient relationship. He proceeds with caution and is not knife happy. If you need spinal surgery, he is the best.

Dr. Graf did an superior job in explaining the procedure that he planned on utilizing in correcting my spinal stenosis. i.e. risks, recovery time and the appropriate post surgery exercises. This is the second type of spinal surgery that Dr. Graf has preformed on me. And in both cases, I am happy to report that he has once again preformed flawlessly. In addition, Dr. Graf was and continues to be very supportive in the post surgery stage of the healing process. And is available 24 x 7.

My experience with Dr Graf was better than expected. He was very easy to work with and I felt he truly listened to my case. He didnt just rush me in and out. He was very good at explaining options and the results of each option. Highly recommended.

He help me with my back pain and tell me and explain everything step by step the process...i hope i will never get heard again but i will i will be 100% good coming back to doctor Graf thank you for all the work done the he did for me.

Dr. Graf says one thing when your in his office and does a complete turn about with your treatment plan once you leave is office. Very unreliable and unprofessional
