"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 back@least 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!!!!"

"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."
"Dr. Treanor is very likable, easy to understand and listens to all questions his patients have for him. He has what has been described as a "good bedside manner".

"I have been happy with patient services with Dr. Treanor and his staff. Doctor educates patient re diagnosis and best plan of treatment. Would recommend this Dr and staff to family or friend. Professional and personable. I have trust in his judgement for my G I health. Cheryl Gish"
"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."
"Dr. Kaiser and all of the staff made me feel very confident about my procedure. Everyone was very thorough and kind, explaining each step of the entire process and giving me time to ask any questions. This was my second procedure by Dr. Kaiser and I would recommend him very highly."

"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!"
"All encounters with staff friendly and professional! Thank you Dr Penn."
