Beacon is unreliable and unable to schedule phlebotomy. Last year I had to schedule the same blood draw five times. iIt was scheduled 6 months in advance. They called to reschedule due to insufficient staffing. The week before the new date, they called again to reschedule due to insufficient staffing. A friend suggested I get the draw at the beacon hospital. I went to the hospital to schedule a blood draw and was informed that I had to call scheduling foran appointment, but they could take walk ins. I waked in the next day and got my blood draw, but the staff told me they would not be able to take walk ins once the new wing was completed due to work load. I reviewed my blood test on line to find they had only done half the testing the doctor requested. I went back to Granger to get new orders to take to Lab Corp, and they said they could work me in the next morning between patients. The next morning I went to the Granger lab and I was the only patient there. meanwhile, my wife was experiencing the same problem, and they told her to go to Lab Corp. In December, I needed to schedule more bloodwork, and asked if I should go to Lab Corp. Beacon assured me they had hired more phlebotomists abd the problems were over. Feb 12 I received a text telling me to rescdule my April blood draw as they did not have enough staff to cover it. They are unreliable, incompetent, and confused. read more

Unfortunately, I will never recommend Beacon Medical Group. I have had trouble scheduling appointments and receiving medicine from this provider for years. Recently I had a very disappointing experience with this practice. I went for a medication checkup, and my provider was adamant that I receive a pap smear. I was caught off guard and declined for that specific appointment, and wished to come back at a later date when properly prepared. At that time, my doctor continued to pressure me, which was extremely uncomfortable as a patient. My doctor seemed very unsatisfied with my personal choice about my body. I called the office because I still felt quite unsettled and voiced my concern. No reply. About a week later, I received a letter that I had been released as a patient due to a breakdown in the relationship. If the doctor's approach had been different, I would have complied. I believe patients have a right to make informed decisions about their own health, and I felt that my boundaries were not respected in the slightest. This experience was unsettling and felt unprofessional. I expected a level of trust and open communication from a healthcare provider, but instead, I felt dismissed simply for exercising my right to choose. I would not recommend this practice to anyone who values patient autonomy and respectful patient care. Women (and men) deserve compassionate care with patience and humility and this practice does not meet expectations. read more

Beacon Medical Group Main Street - They need a pool table in here I tell you what..... - Internal Medicine Near Me - Granger, Indiana

I've been coming here for years now, and while the name outside and some of the faces inside may have changed over time, I have been very pleased with the care provided by my doctor at Main Street Medical Group (MSMG), Dr. David Amrhein. Dr. Amrhein is very conversational, thorough, and attuned to his patients' care. If he is accepting new patients, I would highly recommend him and individually rate him "5 Stars," because he is honestly one of the best family doctors out there, in my opinion. The reason I rate MSMG "Four Stars" is only due to the staff here, NOT the doctors or nurses. The receptionist staff in particilar at times can make you feel like simply a number (I feel like all I am is an insurance card and a date of birth to them at times), but overall I feel that they are effective in coordinating my care. Any issues I may have come across (i.e. insurance, etc.) eventually were resolved without too much inconvenience, but I felt at times that I was given service by them that was less-than-their-best in terms of coordinating my care. Again, in summary, MSMG gets an overall "4 Star" rating from me with superior patient care from the medical team, and about average coordination of care and/or service by the other staff here. read more

Typical beacon, one hand doesn't know what the other hand is doing. Communications are difficult or misleading.

I visited Dr. Kathleen Kelley recently for a bad case if poison ivy. She was quite pleasant and competent, and her receptionist went out if her way to get me in ASAP. However. Her nurse practitioner/physician assistant (not sure what her title is) was rude, arrogant and brusque - not at all the kind, compassionate person you'd expect. There are a lot of dermatologists in the area and no reason to return for an experience like this. read more
