Dardur Medical Group
As a woman going through perimenopause, I can speak firsthand about the importance of reconnecting with your body and truly understanding what it’s trying to tell you.My experience with Dr. Dardur and her team in Homewood has honestly been emotional in the best way possible. As an African-American woman, I often felt disconnected from my body, my emotions, my energy, and even my sense of self. Perimenopause can feel like a roller coaster physically, mentally, and emotionally, and for a long time I felt unheard and misunderstood.My initial visit, assessment, and observations were done by Board Certified Assistant Amari Johnson, and she was absolutely phenomenal. She was knowledgeable, compassionate, patient, and full of empathy. From the moment she began speaking with me, she made me feel comfortable and reassured me that there was a real plan in place for my health and healing journey. Her professionalism and kindness truly stood out and made a lasting impact on my experience.I also had the opportunity to briefly speak with Dr. Dardur today and personally thank her for the message she shared in her Tubi commercial regarding the importance of proper diagnosis and awareness, especially within the Black community. She was very kind, compassionate, and welcoming. Seeing a Black doctor openly discuss women’s hormonal health, perimenopause, and the importance of listening to women made me feel seen and understood before I even walked through the door.In addition, the receptionist team was amazing as well. They were welcoming, professional, organized, and very knowledgeable. From check-in to scheduling and answering questions, the entire office atmosphere made me feel comfortable and cared for.Even during my appointment — from the pelvic exam and Pap smear to having my blood drawn to check my hormone levels — I felt seen, heard, and cared for. I became emotional because, for the first time in a long time, I felt like I finally had a plan and someone helping me reconnect with my body instead of feeling lost in it.I left that appointment feeling lighter emotionally and mentally, simply because someone took the time to truly listen. If you are a woman struggling with perimenopause, hormonal changes, fatigue, emotional shifts, or just feeling unlike yourself, I highly recommend Dr. Dardur and her team in Homewood, Illinois. Sometimes healing starts with being heard. ❤️
