I have two stories to share. Dr George literally saved my life twice. A nagging side pain finally drew my attention and I made an apt and was given a same day apt. She listened to my symptoms and pushed in my right side when I nearly jumped off the table. She immediately sent me to the ER and I had an emergency appendectomy within an hour. The next incident a couple years later brought me to… See more

My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...
Maintaining health and wellness, rather than treating disease, is my greatest goal. My primary care practice is located in Hoffman Estates, Illinois and focuses on women’s health, integrative health and preventive care, in addition to all aspects of internal medicine. With my additional certification in obesity medicine, I am well equipped to help my patients battle a disease that is a major risk factor for other chronic diseases such diabetes, osteoarthritis, hypertension and coronary artery disease. Similar to conveniences often associated with concierge medicine practices, I also offer same- or next-day appointments that start on time. I will work with you at each step to assist you with making informed decisions toward achieving your health goals – whether it's running your first 5K, improving your nutrition, formulating an exercise program, reducing the use of medications, or just living life to its fullest.
As one of the few female internists serving the Northwest suburbs of Chicago offering this personalized healthcare approach, I am offering social visits to my patients when hospitalized at Alexian Brothers Hospital in Elk Grove Village and St. Alexius Hospital in Hoffman Estates. I am also pleased to offer home visits as an added benefit to patients that qualify. I look forward to empowering and partnering with my patients to achieve their health and wellness goals. I love to see their happiness when they realize that they have succeeded.

To a compassionate and inspiring Doctor, Dr. Mary George.
From the first moment I walked into her office, I knew that Dr. George was a doctor I could trust in any situation and would give me the best medical help.
In a world where empathy often feels like a rare gem, Dr. George, you shine brightly as a beacon of compassion and understanding. Your unwavering support and… See more
Dr. George is the kindest, most caring doctor on the planet. She takes her time with you, really listens, and gives good advice, medical as well as emotional because she cares for her patients' whole selfs. And her staff - Stacy and Alex - are out-of-this-world terrific!
Dr. George is a wonderful physician. She was my primary care physician for many years, but I left her practice for about 5 years. During that time, I saw other doctors, but I realized they couldn’t compare to the care she provided. I recently returned to her practice and it feels like I came home. I know all of my concerns are addressed and I am confident my health concerns are always a… See more
I wish to share with the world just how my doctor saved my life, no joking. Dr George insisted that I have a CT Heart Healthy scan done after my physical was done back in Jan of 2020 because she saw something she did not like. From there she said I needed to see a cardiologist because there was something there.
I was diagnosed with a Bi-cousp Aortic valve that needed to be monitored.… See more
Dr Mary George goes beyond being a good doctor she’s a great doctor. Always takes the time to listen to my problems and continuing help me. She she does rush me out and always answers my questions. Will call me if I have a problem or questions. Very kind and thoughtful. I love my doctor.
While going through a tough time in life and health, I was referred to Dr. George by someone at my church. After a less than compassionate visit with my previous doctor, I visited Dr. George. She spent so much time with me, empathetically listening to all of my story and what I was experiencing. She was there for me physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Finding her was one of the best… See more
A couple of years ago, I was in South Carolina visiting my daughter when I had an exacerbation of my asthma/COPD symptoms. I called Dr. George's office and left a message. Several hours later, she tracked down my daughter in South Carolina and called me there so that she could speak with me herself and prescribe needed medication. She does this type of thing all the time because she… See more
We love Dr George and we love the ability to have immediate care as soon as we need it! I feel like she is a girlfriend I can chat with and not feel uncomfortable with anything I say, I have never had a doctor I have been that completely comfortable with. Sometimes it’s a struggle to come up with the money to stay with her, but I’m willing to find it elsewhere just to keep her!
