I am not sure if he pays attention on patient reviews..., Feb 6, 2012 Unhelpful, sarcastic, self-assured. Easy to get appointment in, but then.... I am disappointed and would advise that he takes some fellowships or conituing education courses and then rejoin his colleges in oractice. |

Nice lady, but nice doesn't count to your medical wellbeing. ..., Jan 24, 2012 Nice lady, but... lacks experience and concrete experience. Great at giving referrals and free prescription pills. Definitely has an arrogant and condescending attitude. Office staff isn't that helpful or welcoming either. |

Bad communication, lack of after care and follow up, sloppy staff. ..., Oct 24, 2011 I went to Dr Willis after a car accident, she has prescribed various meds and failed to call me with my MRI results after a week of waiting. When I called the office the girl who answered the phone just blurted out "oh yeah we have the results and we are referring you for an epidural"!! The doctor never called me to discuss the findings of my MRI and then was passing messages to the girl who answered the phone rather than being a real doctor and talking to me herself. The girl who answers the phone is usually on personal calls discussing her own health issues which is horribly unprofessional. I am disgusted with the lack of Dr patient care and will be looking to change doctors once I can find a good one. |

Disappointed with Dr. Brian S. Edkin's abandonment of care after so many mistakes..., Sep 23, 2011 Dr. Edkin performed 2 hip implants on my wife using the DePuy ASR implants. He did such a poor job on both that my wife never recovered from crippling pain, then he informed her that both of her implants had been recalled due to a high failure rate and poisoning from chromium and cobalt. He offered no apology, no remedy, and no advice. As soon as he felt she became a liability to his practice he basically dropped her. It took him 8 months after informing her of the implant recall and that she could be in danger of chromium and cobalt poisoning, to do a blood test for it and he found her metal levels were elevated. She has had these implants in her body for over 2 years. Aside from a test for infection he ran because of her constant crippling pain he basically told her “just give it time”. He never did the appropriate testing to discover her true condition. So we had to find another specialist and we did. They immediately ordered MRI, Bone Scan and Hip aspirations to determine her true condition, after which they replaced both implants correcting Dr. Edkin’s work. They found and removed significant damage of her soft tissue from chromium and cobalt ions. If we had continued to trust Dr. Edkin that damage would have only been getting worse, and who knows how long he would have let it go? |

Very reliable doctor with good attitude and special attention..., Sep 6, 2011 Dr. Sam, as I call him, provides me with exellent health care for what I think is a fair price. Their practice charges a bit more to be a member of, but I certainly receive more than just compensation in attention and expertise. Dr. Sam's practice provides a standard of healthcare that all patients should have access to. I would like to see a tax rebate available for those of us who put in in more money for healthcare on top of insurance, but I won't hold my breath for that. Bottom line for me and my family is that we would not trust anyone else with our health and well being outiside of Dr. Sam's practice. We actually chose not to move out of Peoria mostly for this reason. |
