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.

Not a good Primary Care Physician Staff misrepresents..., May 14, 2012 Interviewed staff prior to my selecting this doctor as my primary care physician for myself and my children. Based on their responses I chose this doctor. Big mistake! Can't even get an appointment for months! The staff stated it was easy to get appointments and made this doctor out to be accessible. FALSE. I'd be better off going to Quick Care. So, 'buyer beware.' Turns out the doctor is currently on a TWO WEEK vacation and doesn't even have a back up physician to assist in her absence. Wow...... what are they suppose to do in your absence? Neglectful practice. |

Do not go to this doctor worst experience I ever had..., Apr 4, 2012 Dr Batolomei deliberately misrepresented his staff as being qualified in areas they are not. My wife went to the hospital with seizures after being treat at his office. I would advise you find another physician. This doctor only cares about money. |

Worst experience & Wrong Diagnosis for 84 yr old father..., Feb 23, 2012 Would not address my father during appointments; subjected him to at least 4-5 hospital visits when complaining of non-stop pain around abdomen, side area - When changed doctor & hospital, compression fracture in his spine was discovered/treated w/in 48 hrs. Did not care for his bedside manner, staff, or nurses aides. |

Dr. Aldea Bamboozled Me, Don't Go to his practice!..., Jan 28, 2012 DO THESE THINGS BEFORE YOU COMMIT TO SURGERY WITH DR. ALDEA: 1) Ask for the refund policy before you pay ANYTHING. You might not be provided the refund policy after you've paid the deposit. There are many outs for him not to return money if the surgery doesn't happen. 2) Don't be fooled by the good reviews out there. Some sites allow surgeons to only display the good reviews and not the negative ones. 3) Research to see if there are any lawsuits filed against him first. My experience with Dr. Aldea was NOT pleasant. He showed up 1 hr late for my surgery. Many of the nursing staff at St. Francis commented that he's frequently late and his surgeries always run over (which means you'll pay much more in the end!) On the OR table we both learned I had an irregular heartbeat. Dr. Aldea canceled the surgery but agreed to do it later if cardiac clearance was obtained. I got clearance which said that my condition was benign and to proceed with surgery as planned, but he never was satisfied, he found every excuse in the book not to do it. He dodged my calls for months! I wanted to get specifics from him on what he needed from the cardiologist. He kept having his patient coordinators say the same vague thing, "Dr. Aldea needs to know the surgery is safe for you." No cardiologist in their right mind will write "safe" in a letter. They will only say low-high risk. BTW 2 cardiologists wrote that I was low risk for the surgery and at no higher risk than a person who didn't have an irregular heartbeat. After many unreturned calls from Dr. Aldea, I got upset and asked for the truth and a refund if he didn't want to operate. He responded and said that I was ungrateful and here's your refund minus $750 deposit and he said that I didn't want the surgery. I responded that I did want the surgery but was tired of the run around and asked that he personally return a call so that we could clear up misunderstandings. His coordinator responded that he would not do the surgery until he got |
