Shelly A. – Galesburg

"Dr. Imam is great. He is very personable and friendly, takes the time to talk to you like you are a person and not just his 2:00. He is sure to ask about the other chronic health conditions going on also, not just the kidneys. When he gives recommendations or instructions, they are easy to understand and he acts like he has all the time in the world for questions. His office staff does what needs done, whatever the tasks. Last time I was there, the front desk ladies were also working as medical assistants, which is a lot to balance, but they do it with a smile and the desire to go the extra mile. I was having a problem, and when I told them what it was, one jumped right up and got me back for a testing sample, and when it was ready, the other lady ran back and tested it so Dr Imam would have the results when he saw me and be able to treat the problem on the spot. As a nurse, I totally respect any office that cross trains their employees to ensure patients get the most out of a visit as possible, with the least amount of sending them out and chasing and/or waiting hours or days for results."
