What Patients Are Saying

"Dr. Suresh Alla is very nice, easy to talk to, and he answers all our questions. He is relaxed and not in a rush. His excellent bedside manner helps me feel more comfortable. His staff are just as great if not better"

~ Moline, IL

"Dr. Jacob is more than a doctor she is a person that has compassion and care for others. My brother was critically ill and in the ICU at OSF. She explained to my family in the utmost compassion about his outcome. The news was not good but I will be eternally grateful that she was able to get my dad to calm down and understand. Please keep doing what you do and I hope that others will follow the example that you are". 

~ Peoria, IL

"I was seen by Dr. Gordon James and his staff. The entire process from checking in to checking out was extremely smooth. The staff was extremely helpful and courtesy. Dr James was a true professional and very helpful. He took his time to explain to me the next steps in my treatment. He explained it in a very good and understandable way."
