- WHAT THEY SAY | Greenspon Medical
Rave reviews, awards, and the news on Dr. Greenspon and Greenspon Medical & Aesthetics. Chicago and Indiana's favorite weight loss clinic for over 75 years. What They Say We've been a key provider of healthcare in the midwest for decades. Naturally, we've gotten many rave reviews over the years (thank you!), as well as awards and some talk in the press. We'd like to share some of your favorites, all thanks to our lovely patients. Reviews From Our Patients What our patients have to say about Greenspon Medical & Aesthetics Gayle This office is a true gem. I was referred by a coworker who was always telling me how much she loved the place and I had been looking for a specialty clinic of this kind. Well, she was not wrong. In fact, she could have bragged about the office even more! Everyone is amazing, helpful, and friendly. Immediately you feel welcomed and truly heard. They offer so many services and so far they have all been outstanding (not to mention the amazing price) and I can't wait to try more of what they offer. Being new to Indiana, I didn't know where to go and I had consultations at a few other clinics. This is the place to be. Thank you to Dr. Greenspon and your tremendous staff!!! Glynis I love this place - Dr. Greenspon, and his medical staff are all superb! They are the absolute nicest group of medical professionals that are committed to providing quality care. Darcy Been coming for a few years and they have the best staff. Always welcoming, caring and friendly and believe it or not they know me by name which is a plus in my book! To knowing who I am and asking about how I'm doing and how was my drive (which takes about a hour) this is the reason I continue to come back to this office!! All your questions and concerns are welcomed. If the nurse doesn't know, they go and get the doctor and he's right there answering whatever he can help with. I always leave feeling confident. Shawn This is by far the best weight loss clinic I've ever been to! The staff and Dr. Greenspon are absolutely amazing. I've lost over 60 pounds and no longer have to take blood pressure meds anymore. I highly recommend this place. Short wait times, friendly staff. Janet Dr. and Staff, always professional & kind. Highly recommend if you're ill and need to see a Dr. Same day and not a long wait. Best of Lansing Award 2021 We were awarded the Best of Lansing Award in 2021 for best doctor.

Interview with Dr. Greenspon - From Voyage Chicago 10/10/2017 Meet James Greenspon of Greenspon Medical Today we’d like to introduce you to James Greenspon. James, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today. It pretty much started when I was 6 or 7 years old, and someone asked me what I wanted to be when I grow up. I thought a moment and decided I wanted to be like my dad, who was also a physician. I would often accompany him on trips to the hospital (where I waited in the nurse’s station) or on house calls (where I’d wait in the car). I always enjoyed being with him because no matter where he went, someone always recognized him and would start talking to him. My father, Dr. Irwin, started the practice in 1949. I joined him after completing my residency in Phoenix, AZ in 1988. We enjoyed each other’s company, and I learned some of the old ways of practicing medicine and blended it along with the current approaches. Although my father was a general practitioner doing everything from obstetrics and surgery to general medicine in the 1950-60’s, he had gradually gotten into nutritional counseling and weight loss. This side of the business turned out to be the most popular as time went on. When I arrived, I began offering more Family Practice services to go with the nutritional counseling as I saw there was good patient flow. I also had a new office building constructed in 1993 seeing that the added space would allow future growth and the hiring of employees which he never had. We now employ a nurse practitioner, and will soon have two when another nurse (who has been here 12 years) completes her FNP program, along with several more RNs. In 2016 we opened a north side location in Northfield, IL and are offering esthetic services from certified nurse injectors at both offices. I never envisioned having more than once office but am open to see where the future takes us. Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way? Actually the hardest part of growing the practice initially was finding good employees before the days of the internet. I was lucky in 1993 when a temp agency sent me a bright eyed, intelligent, and pretty girl that was only 20 years old. She was so dependable and picked up skills so quick, that she was my only employee till 2004. Of course, she is still here going on 25 years, and brought her sister in 2005 who has since become an RN and will be completing her FNP program next year. I really have been fortunate to have such nice ladies all these years. The practice has very little turn over or drama and there is a great sense of togetherness. Please tell us about Greenspon Medical. Our practice is known for nutritional counseling and family practice plus a more recent addition of esthetics for anyone seeking to retain youthfulness. I am most proud of the devoted ladies that provide services to the clients, getting to know them over time and deliver the desired care. If you had to go back in time and start over, would you have done anything differently? Really nothing! I couldn’t have found better people to work here or had a more caring and interesting father to have left such a legacy to me!

For men and women who want to restore smoother skin to their facial profile, we offer multiple solutions to relax visible signs of aging and refresh your appearance. Botox and Dysport are neuromodulators that relax muscles under the skin, preventing new wrinkles and reducing current ones. Dermal Fillers Dermal fillers create immediate volume in hollowed areas of the face. Comprised of hyaluronic acid and other substances that are found naturally in your body, dermal fillers combine with the water in your body. Fillers are injected with a fine needle underneath the skin in desired areas and your new look can last for up to a year.. We offer dermal fillers for all of your cosmetic concern, some of them listed below. What are the differences between the different types of Restylane? Each is designed to have a different consistency, used in different locations or ways depending on what your aesthetic goals are. Fillers can be used to change the appearance of laugh lines, nasolabial folds and other deep lines, contour the shape of the cheeks, enhance the size or shape of lips, and they can help restore your looks after weight loss or simply aging. Restylane® Restylane Kysse® Restylane Lyft® Restylane Refyne® Restylane Defyne® Restylane Contour® Restylane Eyelight® Sculptra® Sculptra works with your body to revitalize collagen production, helping to restore your skin's inner structure. It gives your body the "tools and ingredients" it needs to stimulate production of your own natural collagen. Sculptra works subtly and gradually over time for results that can last more than two years. Microneedling This procedure is one of the most powerful ways to stop aging in its tracks and prevent new fine lines and wrinkles from forming. Microneedling or collagen induction therapy involves using fine needles to create tiny, invisible puncture wounds in the top layer of skin. This minimally invasive treatment stimulates the body’s natural wound healing process, resulting in cell turnover and increased collagen and elastin production. Vi Peel The Vi Peel contains a synergistic blend of powerful ingredients suitable for a variety of skin types. This peel will help to improve the tone, texture, and clarity of your skin while providing anti-aging benefits.

- HISTORY | Greenspon Medical
Greenspon Medical & Aesthetics was founded in 1949 in Lansing by Dr. Irwin Greenspon, specializing in family practice and weight loss. His son James now runs the practice. Learn about our history and expansions! History Greenspon Medical & Aesthetics, celebrating 75 years in 2024, has a long history. Read on to learn about how the practice came to be, Dr. Irwin Greenspon and Dr. James Greenspon, and our buildings. Greenspon Medical & Aesthetics was established in 1949 by Dr. Irwin Greenspon. He attended Chicago Medical School, receiving his MD degree in 1942. Upon graduating, he served as a physician on a navy ship during World War II. Shortly after the war, he began his private practice, originally located at 3344 Ridge Road in Lansing, Illinois. Eventually, he moved to a new office building in downtown Lansing at 3232 Ridge Road. During those years, he practiced general medicine which included obstetrics and surgery. He was often busy making house calls to his sick patients. Dr. Irwin Greenspon began practicing nutritional counseling and weight loss in the late 1950s and established a weight loss program that has since been widely copied due to how well it worked. He developed his own technique for helping people lose and maintain their weight. Eventually his practice transitioned almost entirely into helping people lose weight due to his highly effective and successful program. On August 1, 1988, Dr. Irwin Greenspon proudly welcomed his son, Dr. Jim, as he likes to be called, into the practice. Dr. Jim Greenspon knew from a young age that he wanted to be a physician just like his father and often accompanied him on his house calls. They had a strong father and son bond, making it only natural for the two of them to practice together. They spent eight years working together during which Dr. Jim Greenspon honed his skills and learned all about Chicagoland's best weight loss program. In order to accommodate his growing practice, Dr. Jim built a brand new office building in 1993 in its present location on 18225 Torrence Avenue in Lansing, IL. The building was new, but the diet program remained the same. In 2016, he opened a satellite office in Northfield, Illinois, currently located at 570 Frontage Road just off interstate 94. The Lansing office mostly serves Chicago, Chicagoland, Lansing, Munster, and Indiana, though many patients drive through multiple states to get their weight loss journeys started. It's an excellent location for folks on the south side and west side of Chicago. Additionally, the office in Lansing offers the widest variety of procedures and technology. The Northfield office also serves Chicago and Chicagoland as well as folks who live farther north, some driving from Wisconsin. Patients are welcome to visit either office. Both accept walk-ins, with appointments only recommended for beauty procedures to make sure enough time is reserved. The Lansing office is a geometric brick building with a bright, light, and airy waiting room. The black fiberglass chairs around the perimeter are a fun nod to mid century design and the era in which Greenspon Medical & Aesthetics was taking shape. String lights are turned on during the cooler months for a festive atmosphere. We later expanded our parking lot so all of our patients could have an easier time finding a place to park. This also allowed for patients to remotely sign in at the office and wait in their cars during the peak of the pandemic. Our office in Northfield is located at 570 Frontage Road in Suite 310. It's right off the highway and easy to get to. We had the opportunity to renovate our suite just for the needs of our practice. The views out the window are just spectacular! 2024 marked an especially important milestone for Greenspon Medical & Aesthetics as it was our 75th anniversary ! This has been enormously exciting for us and we know Dr. Irwin Greenspon would be proud to see his dream live on. We want to take a moment to thank all of our patients for making this possible. Thank you for letting us care for you, thank you for giving us the privilege of watching multiple generations of your families grow up, thank you for the stories and the laughs, thanks for teaching Dr. Jim a few new words in your native language when you visit, thank you for your kindness, and most of all, thank you for being. Thank you for being yourself. We love seeing our "old friends", and we love making new ones. We look forward to seeing you in both Lansing and Northfield. We are over 75 years strong, and we have some cool things on the horizon, so stay tuned!
