Reviews for Peoria, IL
"I will say, I ABSOLUTELY love Marsha and John...I can't remember the name of the NP that I talked to, but she was awesome too ❣️
My bad review comes to Nickey (sp)
She was a !#@*#!!!!!! Apparently she is a scheduler... and I explained to her that I received a message from Dr. Kieser..to schedule an appointment. She REFUSED. I then explained that I have been there for YEARS, and not to mention, probably more than she is old!!! STILL REFUSED!!!! I then asked her to let Marsha and John know that I called and asked for them to call me [email protected] it is all documented and I let the people in charge know because she DID NOT do her job!!!!! I even found out that she talked to the doctor and he told her to make sure I got an appointment, but she NEVER called me back!!!!!! I understand that good help is hard to find, but I want her fired !!!! That is in NO WAY good customer service!!!!"

Thank you very much for your work!"

I presented with major challenges and discomfort; I left with a better understanding of the cause and a written explanation of meds that were affecting me Greatly increased my medication understanding and how they affect the body function.

"My experience at Illinois gastroenterology Institute was probably the easiest thing I've done in a long time medically speaking. The entire procedure went really smooth and so most people nowadays do a sedative for the procedure I opted to be awake so that I could observe what they saw, when they saw it, and observe what they did. Being awake is actually very easy and one benefit is once you are done you can leave on your own recognizance you don't need a driver. Dr. Baldwin was extremely professional and it was nice to have a conversation with him while the procedure was going on. When it comes to Medicine I think being more educated is better for a person taking care of themselves. The entire crew was excellent his companions in the procedure room were very professional and if I could remember their names I would recommend them too"

They referred me on, as needed, & found answers to my problems."

"We are not very good at coming up with words of praise for anyone but our Heavenly Father but have been very satisfied with Dr. Baldwin's health care."
"My consultation was a very efficient process. Staff asked many questions about my symptoms, etc, before Doc came in to see me. He had the full picture when he talked to me, so a plan was easy to formulate. I only had a couple of questions and he thoroughly answered those.
Setting up my procedure with clerical staff was also a straight forward process with all questions answered."

"First met with Dr. Kaiser on September 28, 2020 for a consultation regarding intestinal problems I was experiencing. After a lengthy conversation about my concerns, he suggested we begin with a Colonoscopy then get the results and go from there. I had the colonoscopy a week later, October 7th, and was attended to by Dr. Patel. Procedure went well, and I was contacted by I.G. office nurse on Friday, October 9th that my diagnosis was Lymphocytic Colitis and a steroid was being ordered for me that I was to take daily for 8 weeks and that would hopefully take care of the inflammation problem in my large intestine. But alas, my insurance would not cover the cost of the medicine even though it was generic. At this point, October 13th I am still awaiting a response from Dr. Patel's office, or Dr. khaiser's office, or Walgreens regarding what the next step is."

"All encounters with staff friendly and professional! Thank you Dr Penn."
"After my gallbladder removal surgery went sideways with a surgeon from OSF two doctors from IGI stepped in to help correct the situation. Dr. Ellahi and Dr. Baldwin both spent many hours getting to the root of why I wasn't getting any better. It turns out the surgeon made an error and Dr. Ellahi and Baldwin found that I developed an abscess that was filling with bile. Dr. Ellahi came in from vacation to do the procedure while Dr. Baldwin was working on a treatment plan. If it wasn't for these doctors it's likely my wife would be a widow. Have seen a nurse practitioner with the group for follow up and a reflux issue and she is great as well. If you have GI problems this is the group to see!"

I would recommend Illinois Gastroenterology to anyone."
