Specialty Physicians of Illinois, LLC

I had a colonoscopy and endoscopy with Dr. Alsamman and it was an amazing experience!! All of the nurses and doctors were so so nice and friendly, and they even called to check on me the day after. I was a little chilly so I got a warm (hot) blanket. Everyone explained what they were doing to me as they did it and answered my questions. I said that the apple juice I got after the procedure was really good so they gave me one to take home. I would highly recommend!

My husband had 10 hospital emergency room visits set up for GI appointments and the GI doctor doesn't care to return calls in regards to situation getting worse. My husband has a breathing condition heart now lungs and GI issue and they don't even care we Now have to go an hour out of our way just to get help I would never refer anyone to Franciscan St James

This office definitely doesn't have patient interest and well-being as a priority. I have experienced bad attitudes with the PA, MA and NPs. I was asked "why are you scheduled with me? I'm not in your group".... Last I checked, patients don't schedule their own appointments. Prescriptions aren't called in timely, messages are unanswered and the follow-up is poor. It's unfortunate that this community provider is missing compassion. Caring should be at the heart of healthcare and lately it doesn't seem as if it's to be found here.

Go somewhere else. I have experienced nurses with bad attitudes and no sense of urgency. Lack of communication in the office. I have been yelled at on the phone by a nurse. And Larina Branch bedside manner is terrible, she lacks compassion and empathy, and this is coming from someone who has been in the medical field herself. If you need documentation or any referrals she won't help you. Told me that nausea, vomiting, and fatigue are all common in early pregnancy & is not means for accommodations, unless I have "high blood pressure" lol even after I said I'm in distress while doing my job 12hrs a day, in a warehouse lifting 40-50lbs of product, mind you my job considers pregnancy alone a reason for accommodating. She shrugged her shoulders and said "hey that's life." but let her tell it my issue is with her not signing my papers, no my issue is with the way I spoken to. I left that doctor office in tears & reported her to the board.

Visited this facility for the first time today and my physician was Dr. Prince Hodogbey. He was nice...straightforward yet caring. He made me feel comfortable while I was there. I appreciated his thoroughness as he discussed new suggested meds for me. He even made suggestions on what I should do at home to better my health. I will most definitely return and make him my primary care doctor. Thank you Dr. Prince Hodogbey
