Dr. Spangler and his staff are pleasant and helpful...., Jan 22, 2010 I would most definitely recommend Dr. Spangler to my friends and family. He is very patient and kind and is very supportive of new moms. He is an advocate for breast-feeding women and is very knowledgeable about childhood illness and vaccines. You never feel hurried or rushed with Dr. Spangler or his staff.

My family Refuses To See Her Again. Very Disagreeable!..., Jan 5, 2012 My family will not be seeing Dr. Shah again. If we had not researched her credentials after the fact, we would have sworn she was not even a doctor. She argued with us over refills for medicines that we take for diabetes and thyroid disease though we have taken these medicines to treat these illnesses for several years. She was very disagreeable about everything. It was so hard to deal with her that one of us just agreed with her about everything to keep from having arguments again so as to be able to leave her office promptly because the entire visit had been such an ordeal. We do not recommend her. |

A friendly doctor who makes too many mistakes and then covers them over...., Dec 16, 2011 My husband and I both went to Dr. Hoing for about two years. She is very easy to talk with but makes too many mistakes. She has me on a medicine 20mg more than the doctor recommended dose. She also has not filled out paperwork for my care in over a month. She has made numerous mistakes with my husband as well. She has placed undo stress on our family and she in my opinion is not living up to her Hippocratic Oath: "I will remember that I do not treat a fever chart, a cancerous growth, but a sick human being, whose illness may affect the person's family and economic stability. My responsibility includes these related problems, if I am to care adequately for the sick." We will no longer see her and we advise everyone to be careful who do seek her professional care. |

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. |
