I went in for a breast augmentation consult. At that time he did something called rapid breast…read moreenhancement which required no pain meds. His manner was very curt and off putting. He said he wouldn't do that procedure without also doing a breast lift. He claimed it would be painless and I could go out to dinner the same night. He also claimed that the implants could stay in for over 20yrs. He insisted on silicone and said it was perfectly safe. All were red flags. I thought he'd give me an idea of implant size but I was left alone in a room with implant inserts to try on. I wanted input because I didn't know how big would be too big with the lift. All he had said is you'll regret not going big and then left. It seems like a bigger implant could cause stress on the lift stitches. Then the sales lady came in with paperwork insisting that I sign the contract. That's when I gave up and left. I'm so glad I did, this is not the doctor I want when making a big decision. I never saw him again or heard from his office.

I wish I could leave zero stars. The absolute worst, and one of the most traumatizing experiences…read moreI've ever gone through in my life. I went in for a breast augmentation consultation, and from the jump Dr. Kurley gave off bad vibes; stereotypically arrogant, rude, cocky air about him. Condescending, and wouldn't let me ask questions. He also freaked out in the middle of the consult and asked me if I had a hidden recording device...all of this and I still ended up letting him do surgery on me. Right before going in for surgery, I explained to him that I was concerned the implants were not the right volume for me; he disregarded my concern and more or less said he knows better than me, and I woke up depressed and extremely disappointed. I started crying to the nurse, who then brought Dr. Kurley back in, who sat in front of me and belittled me and told me I was wrong for feeling upset, and then started rattling off his credentials, almost bragging to me about what an amazing Dr he is. All the while I am still waking up from the anesthesia, horrified, and asked the nurse (whom I later discovered is Dr Kurley's WIFE), to have him leave the room. He also made several comments about how it is women's fault for not being better patients and coming back to his practice to "fix issues." This was hands down the worst outcome/experience possible for me. I wanted to have this done right the first time, now I'm going to have to pay more money to have a better Dr do it again, not to mention have to go under anesthesia and through surgery AGAIN. P.S. I was texting my boyfriend the whole time describing each creepy room I entered so they would know where to find me if something happened...the office was by far the weirdest, creepiest office and so unprofessional. It looked like a room you'd take the SATs in in the '90s.

I chose Dr. Baker for abdominal liposuction because he has 30 years of experience as a plastic…read moresurgeon and because I liked him as a person. After spending $7200 for this procedure, my waist size was the same as always and there was virtually no change in how my body looked. To date he has been unable to offer anything viable to make good on this bad job. I feel like I've been seriously ripped off and want a refund of all money except actual expenses.

Nice man but very misinformed about Celiac Disease. Although he was correct in his diagnosis (he…read morewas also the one who performed the endoscopy), he told me that I could cheat every once and awhile and have some regular bread, or cake, etc. BAD advice! You are NEVER supposed to cheat while on the gluten free diet, unless you are on it for non-medical reasons (some people are doing this diet right now because it's "trendy"). I also heard that he wouldn't perform an endoscopy for another patient with Celiac Disease because she was "too old" to have Celiac Disease. She was in her mid fifties. That is another common misconception about CD: that you will grow out of it. Anyway, he did do a decent job with the endoscopy and has a pleasant demeanor, so I owe that to him.

I had a colonoscopy performed on me in 1999, and he seemed nice. However, he was not the one that…read moreinformed me that I had ulcerative colitis. He told my mother that had accompanied to the the procedure. I had to figure out what ulceritive colitis was on my own. Thanks? A couple of months later, I was informed that my insurance decided not to cover the bill. Great! So his office contacted me demanding full payment soon after. A couple grand all at once? Yeah right! I made about 200 bucks a week, and had a baby to raise at the time. I offered to make payments of 100 a month, they refused that offer. That's when the daily calls started. Wheres our money? Wheres our money? I offered all I could afford at the time. Not good enough!! They threatened to take me to court, I said "please do". Months later and credit ruined (Thanks), we settled on 50 bucks a month through court. Smh! Now it's over a decade later, it still comes back to haunt me. My dermatologist calls his office to ask about my colitis. She comes back and ask me "what did you do to him?" I say "what do you mean"? She said "the people at his office got really rude as soon as I mentioned your name. Really? You've been paid off for a very long time. Then I was referred to a gastrologist in Decatur a few years back. I told him that Dr. Patel had diagnosed, but he doesn't care for me much I guess. He asked why I told him about the whole thing. Before I even finished my story, he got super defensive. He said "Dr, Patel was a good friend of his, and would never do such thing.". Ok pal! He then started being so rude that I left, (mid visit) in tears. So I would really love it if he could move on, and stop ruining any chance I have at finding any decent care here in Central IL. That would be great! You've been paid, get on with your life, and let me get on with mine! Thanks
