Literally every person that I dealt with, from wheeling me around, to CT, MRI, ECHO CARDIO, SONOGRAPHY, TO PT, OT, SPEECH PATHOLOGY...TO DIETICIAN, TO FOOD SERVICE, housekeeping. The nursing staff, and Drs and all of this team, are amazing. They genuinely care about those of us in life and death situations and needs. ER staff was also first rate and impressive as well. Thank you with all of my Heart.. I have truly been blessed by God to be alive and doing well right now....from start to finish, about 30 hours total, I was admitted, and discharged and home now with my daughter this evening, doing great. This would not be possible without this amazing group of healthcare PROFESSIONALS. Thank you all. May God Bless you all. Derek J. Sanders, Newton Illinois.

Almost every single person I met in the er was insanely unprofessional and unpleasant to be around…read more I came in an ambulance after a pretty bad car accident but my friend definitely had it worse than me, I was shown to my room by a male nurse who then promptly stuck his head out the door and yelled "can I have the other one?" My friend was covered head to toe in blood and I had to advocate (being a patient myself!!) for her to get a hospital gown. Friend had to get 5 stitches in her forehead, also had to ask at least 5 times for something for the pain, they finally brought her an ibuprofen. The minute I got to my room I was brought a cup to pee in and a Sheriff was in my room. Both my friend and I were almost immediately covered in nasty bruises, I had some burn marks as well. Nobody checked our bruises or anything on us. Everyone seemed very inconvenienced that we needed medical attention. We each got a ct scan and nothing else. I absolutely had whiplash possibly a mild concussion as well. If you are at all able stay away from this hospital.

I recently visited the Forsyth location on Wednesday morning, March 8,2023. Was exposed directly to…read moresomeone at work with Covid and had many Covid symptoms, including; fever, all over body aches, terrible headache, nausea, chills. Was seen by one of the PA's and he did my Covid test and also did a flu test. He came back in and said it was negative and I was completely dumbfounded. He told me it could just be a false negative and to wait a day or two and either I could come back there for another test or I could get a home test and do it myself but to make sure to wait a day or two before doing it. Why so adamant about that. Now I feel suspicious. So I left and immediately went and bought 2 home tests. Went home and took one and it was a positive result practically instantly. Waited until Friday morning and took the second one and it too was positive pretty much immediately. I'm not sure who is actually doing the test behind the scenes but if I got 2 positive results, one being done right after leaving there, I have to be concerned and suspicious if they are doing things correctly. I would have to say, apparently not, which strikes me as concerning because this poses risks to the public if they aren't doing things correctly, for whatever reason. I do know they can get false negatives and had I not done a home test within 2 hours of leaving there I might have believed it was a true false negative but that's not what happened. I did call the number listed as the corporate number even though it's not really a corporate office, just another location and I spoke to a lady who also sounded very surprised when I told her I went home and did a home test right after leaving there and got a blaringly obvious positive result. Then another lady called me later and she explained the false negative scenario also and I proceeded to explain to her about the home test. She said she would make sure it was not billed and/or removed from the charges filed to insurance but honestly, it's more than just a charge in my opinion. If I had gone by the result he gave me, I could have assumed it was negative and then I would have put a LOT of other people at risk. I have been to this location approximately 2 or 3 other times prior to this but after this experience I will not be returning again. K.S.

You are treated like you are special, they may be a little higher than having your surgery elsewhere, but you definitely get the royal treatment. The first surgery I had a male anesthetist, he was nice but I experienced a burning pain when he administered the anesthesia. The second surgery I had a female anesthetist named Mary, she gave me lidocaine to prevent the burning sensation, Thank You Mary!!! Also a Big Thank You to the Wonderful nurses Angie, Brianne, Christy, and Tara! You were all wonderful! I would definitely recommend having your surgery here.

This gentleman is a general surgeon in a very small town about one hour south of Champaign Urbana…read more I was on my way down to Granite City, IL by way of Salem, IL, first, when, awakening one day about 15 years ago, I noticed a large palpable lesion proximal to my left ear. Experiencing no pain whatsoever I thought I should see a physician and knew enough to avoid the primary care providers in a town like this. I went to the area hospital, found the best looking nurse I could and asked her to recommend the best general surgeon in the community, and that she did. I saw Doctor Boyajian later that day and was scheduled, the following day, to have the lesion I&d'd. All went well, though I did have a staph infection likely the result of being beaned by a fastball around that location 7 years earlier in high school. All in all I believe that this amazingly competent and caring gentleman did much to save my life. The only annoyance regarding the entire experience involved a mousy office manager,I believe this individual was, through whom I was forced to suffer post surgically on follow up a day or two later, who seemingly had nothing better to do with her time besides gossiping from the minute I arrived to the second the nurse called me back. I'm quite certain my next procedure, an infected pilonidal cyst treated at a VA hospital in San Diego, would have been better tolerated, sans anesthesia, than having to listen to this motor mouth for even two additional minutes. Notwithstanding this gnat like annoyance, the experience with this exemplary physician, and his entire professional staff, could not have been better. The town in which he practices is blessed to have such an incredible doctor at its beck and call.
