March Madness

Though not currently listed in Dr’s Handbook of incurable diseases, patients currently suffering from March Madness exhibit the following symptoms: inexplicable swearing when checking sports websites, lack of attentiveness in the office, inability to attend social functions that do not involve a working TV, general paleness, dark circles under eyes and anxiety. While there is no known cure for March Madness, we are confident doctors would suggest sufferers to attend Wine Wednesday to reduce the affects.

We will be at Jersey’s Pizza located at 2360 Lakewood Blvd in Hoffman Estates.  Just ask the hostess station where you can find us.  Join us for a beverage or order some food.  It is an informal social with a great chance to meet others.   We look forward to seeing you there.
