Persons have been going to this clinic over 10 years now, you book an appointment,then out of the blues " poof" they send you a message saying when you come to your appointment please be ready to pay $600 for not having insurance!Hello?? Maybe the insurance on file decided to just disappear,by an act of magic?? Anyway talked to customer service,nurse and the Billing Department as well! After having the so called insurance for 8 years now,oh! Yes it does show on your record? Whoever invented the idea of including in your appointment the amount you would have to pay? Your method is not working,try something else! Communication people! And less Corporate people,too many Chiefs ,not enough Normal people!

Read some of these reviews, and was appalled. I have several chronic conditions, and in the course…read moreof over a decade of visiting many Carle locations, I only felt mistreated once, at the hands of an arrogant specialist at the main facility. I use this location on Windsor for blood tests--whoosh, in and out. Everyone is always courteous, and professional, and they get the job done. I do have to call more than once sometimes for an appointment, but seriously, that disagreeable phenomenon is not a Carle Exclusive.

This was the company my dad founded. They were one of the largest radiological private practices in…read morethe nation (top 100, theres a few lists out there they could have been on if they submitted their information). They had multiple contracts throughout the years with hospitals and clinics in the central Illinois area. Some of the hospitals they serviced were Sarah Bush Lincoln Health Center in Mattoon, Il, Paris Community Hospital in Paris, Il, Saint Anthony Hospital in Effingham, Il, Provena Covenant Medical Center in Urbana, Il, Provena United Samaritans Health Center in Danvielle, Il, Crawford Memorial Hospital in Robinson, Il, HSHS Good Shepherd Hospital in Shelbyville, Il and dozens of small clinics in the area. They provided their life saving services to millions of people since 1976. At the height of their empire they employed around 17 doctors and dozens of other staff for services such as billing. They were pulling in tens of millions and frequently donated back to the community. Some of their donations went to the local school systems as well as EIU and U of I. Unfortunately all good things come to an end. My father and his partners sold their equity in the company to Dr. Aldo Ruffolo (I have a separate review on him). Dr. Ruffolo tried to start a side venture of Cosmetic Vein Clinics and failed to maintain contracts with the hospitals for Lakeland Radiologist. To make matters worse Dr. Ruffolo declared bankruptcy, for his failed side venture, causing all the companies he owned to go under including Lakeland Radiologist.

My freshman son has been sick for a week, just visited McKinley for the second time in a week…read more First visit they gave him cough drops. Second visit today, He went directly to West Clinic they gave his appointment away because they said he didn't check in downstairs. They Did not even ask him any of his symptoms or how he was feeling. Total incompetence. I drove down to Champaign this morning to bring him home to see a real doctor. He had scheduled an 11 am appointment at McKinley so we went. I was actually there to see what type of care they would provide. Typical state employees that just don't give a shit. He had a 103 fever and suffered a seizure. Brought him to ER in Park Ridge they immediately took his temperature and gave him something to lower fever at check in. ***Updated 3 hours later, he also tested positive for strep. What kind of clinic does take temperature or test for strep?

To off set the issue they sent me a meter like I already have had for years. I still have 100 UltraBlue strips I cannot use!!! Chris, the office manager doubted me again on the issue and blamed the diabetic educator. I will mail them the meter and strips to see if Chris has magical powers. I seriously doubt it. Luckily, I have moved on and have had excellent success with my new doctor's office.
