Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

The doctor, the nurses all of them fantastic. This is my go to facility now.

An Excellent Physician
Was actually referred here from a friend and the wing forward on my rugby team. Suffering from tenosynovitis and a left knee joint popliteal cyst, I was initially sent to some ego maniac at Rush who purports to treat many Chicago Bulls players but believes himself the second coming of Frank Jobe, M.D. Laughable, I waited 2 hours for this null set and got less than three minutes of his time. I drove about 4 hours and 20 minutes to reach Bonutti Clinic in bucolic Effingham, IL. First time, and hopefully last time, there, I was stunned to find a physician of this caliber practicing there. Such a kind, competent and down to earth physician and one for whom I have great respect. He spent about 35 minutes reviewing my symptoms and recommended a conservative approach. Eventually had the popliteal cyst aspirated and feel much better now. This fine physician and I both went to the same undergraduate university. He forgot more than the Rush clown ever knew.
