About 9 months ago I found out from my primary care doctor that I had a very large fibroid. I found…read moremyself in search of a new OBGYN.I needed someone who would listen to me, give me options and honesty. I live closer to Peoria than Bloomington however after calling almost every OBGYN in the Peoria area and either being rejected because I was not currently pregnant,told that there was no available appointments for approx. 6 months or just not willing to even consider a clinic where the front desk staff was so rude that you knew they just hated their jobs I found Dr. Santiago's office. I was so relieved when I called the office and the front desk staff super was nice, they could get me in within a couple weeks, their first question wasn't "do you have insurance and what kind?" I don't know what it is about that being one of the first questions that bugs me so much...I think maybe because it just seems like money is the only thing that's important. I get it they want paid but it could be after a series of other important questions. Anyways, let's skip to my first appointment. The front desk staff were super nice and professional, the wait was minimal. Dr. Santiago explained what having a fibroid my size meant and unfortunately my only options involved surgery. He explained the pros and cons to both options, listened to all of my concerns, was super compassionate and ordered an MRI so there could be more clear cut measurements/location so I could make an appropriate decision. All my other visits/conversations with Dr. Santiago were compassionate and he listened and answered all of my questions. At times I was very emotional and he was so caring and understanding. I decided to have a hysterectomy, to say that I was nervous would be an understatement but Dr. Santiago took very good care of me. My uterus ended up being very large making it more difficult to pull off a robotic surgery but instead of taking the easy route and making a giant cut across my belly he took the extra time and I only had 5 cuts resulting is less healing time on my end. If you are in need of a good doctor, look no further!

After seeking care at the end of March, for an infection I have to say I wouldn't recommend them. I…read morehave insurance which they billed as new patient care (fine, but honestly 240.00 is pretty high), however the experience was uncomfortable and Amanda Boitnott seemed to have rather unconventional practices for diagnosis and treatment. I entered the office (early for my appt- relevant to the phone call I just had with office management), and was greeted and asked to fill out paperwork- totally standard and their office waiting area is really* nice almost spa like. I thought wow this is a great start! Then I get called back quickly and the paperwork I had only half filled out (I and my family have unfortunately a long history of medically relevant things I have to write on that sheet), when I mentioned this the nurse said "it doesn't matter I'll ask you the relevant questions". That was off putting and then a quick (and I mean quick) pre-exam was done where I mentioned I am trying to get pregnant, and so far nothing has happened was scrawled on the form and she told me to get undressed and wait for the dr. So I'm waiting and the PA comes in, and starts the exam. She's kind of dismissive and then does the exam where she says my issues should clear on their own and I don't need medication. No swabs were done, no inquiry about discomfort, but did say that micro tears could be the cause. She then says "if you're not pregnant in 6 months I'd like to do a follicle exam and make sure you're still able to have babies. Even if you still get your monthlies it would be helpful to know where you're at." There was an over all dismissive nature to my original complaints and then almost a prompting of trying to get me to consent to other services- similar to being at a car dealership. It was extremely uncomfortable and I left with the same issues I came in with. With that said I received a bill for what was left that insurance didn't cover and when I called the office manager was also extremely dismissive. She then said that the PA could have charged me at a level 4 from the time I walked into the building to the time I left, but only charged me a level 3, and that because she's so conservative for her patients she doesn't do swabs unless there's something ABUNDANTLY obvious. Excuse me? So you're disregarding patients complaints and deciding that they'll go away on their own? Spoiler alert it didn't and I had to go buy monistat and treat the issue myself. She then went into how I clearly don't know how insurance works (which maybe I'm no savant but like, if someone doesn't do anything for you and gives you mad anxiety regarding medical care, do you pay them?) I would have been better off going to planned parenthood. At least if I had to pay them, they would have done something for me. Must have been and easy 240.00.... I'm honestly disgusted with the lack of care and professionalism displayed by this office.

Every time I try to go here again I am just very displeased. This office is very unprofessional…read more The past few months I've been in there for a few appointments and have yet to meet the dr. Still! I have been prescribed medication by the nurse which is not at all do what she said it would for me. And I have now missed my follow up appointment due to never being contacted for it. Each time I am in that waiting room I can hear the front desk ladies calling patients reminding them of their appointments and or if they missed one. I have yet to receive a missed call as well. I was again was just charged a bunch of money for them to tell me everything is fine. Everything is not fine though. But they do not care enough to even attempt to figure it out. They just slap one a "bandaid" and charge you hundreds of dollars for it. Overall would NOT recommend this place to any woman who cares about their body.

Sharon Weaver is awful, unprofessional, and is the reason I made an account with Yelp…read more I went to Sharon to get the IUD inserted, in which her staff was less then extraordinary, but I actually thought Sharon was very sweet. After a few months with the IUD inserted, I started feeling pain in my stomach and ended up in the emergency room. After running some tests, they figured out it was the IUD causing my problems. They stated that since Sharon was the one who inserted the IUD, then she would need to be the one to remove it. The next day I made an appointment to see Sharon. She not only refused to take any responsibility for the IUD, she blatantly lied to my face about what the ER doctors were telling me the night before. It seemed she thought we were blaming HER for the problems I faced, but in reality, no one was. I simply needed the IUD to be removed and was instructed that she was the only one who could do so. Not only was she incredibly rude, but after I began to cry, she said "I don't understand why you're crying...". I told her to just remove the IUD so I could be on my way. Once removed she held the IUD in my face saying "See, there is nothing wring with this. See?!" and then she left the room, did not make eye contact and didn't make any attempt to communicate with me again. I would never, ever recommend her to anyone. EVER!

I was very encouraged by their website and the fact that they treat the whole body, which can include counseling services, which I desperately need. I also work in healthcare and there was an emergency at my work on the day of my appointment, so it completely slipped my mind. I called back and apologized profusely for missing my appointment due to this emergency (I fully understand the impact this can have on a clinic) and requested to reschedule. I was absolutely shocked when the woman who answers the phone told me unapologetically, that they have a zero-tolerance policy for no shows, and they would not accept me as a patient. I literally missed the appointment because I was helping with a patient in my office who was in the midst of a mental health crises, I guess that's some irony for you. They also do not bother to tell you this policy when you schedule your appointment, nor do they offer reminder calls/texts/emails. I understand this is a courtesy for patients, but it is common practice and strange that a "modern" facility doesn't offer this to their patients. Their website presents them as a safe and caring place for women to have their healthcare needs met, but it appears they are only actually interested in their profit margin. While this is not a complete surprise in this day and age, it truly shocked me that there was a total lack of compassion for a woman who is struggling and just had life get in the way that day. Deeply disappointed and not even sure where to turn for help now.
