Great customer service! Great people! Great Doctor if not the best doctor in Kewanee. Has been my PCP for thirty years plus. Thank you for such Great concern, support and care. They’re the Best!

George C. • March 14, 2026

I had to switch caregivers due to a retirement and Anna was excellent about explaining my needs n gave me several choices for several illnesses n specialists. I have stage 4 Lung Cancer, diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis, and some small heart n kidney problems. Working with all my specialists will be a challenge and I’m sure she’ll work well all of them. After my visit “number one” I’m convinced we will work well together. I’ll be her patient as long as she will keep me

Deborah S. • February 25, 2026

Anna is the best! See listens to me and treats me with respect....always listening to my perspective. She engages with her wisdom and recommendations, but never by insulting my intelligence. She's kind, patient and great at her profession! When I leave her office i feel like I matter, and I've been heard...not just another patient...thx, Anna!
