Even though I had misplaced my car keys, and was running late, I called to see if I could still have my appointment. I was treated graciously. I was able to see the doctor. The nurse checked my blood pressure temperature Etc and aShow moresked if there were any changes in my medication. The doctor then came in and we spoke about my health and my blood work I have the relevancy of certain kinds of medication 4 the conditions that I live with. He said that everything looked pretty good, and to return in 3 months to follow up on a new medication unless I had trouble with it. If I do have a problem, of course I am to get in touch with them immediately. I feel that I have had some of the best Medical care since I have been seeing Dr. Ahearn, on many levels. But his expertise on thyroid hormone is equal to no other doctor I have ever seen in my 73 years. I really appreciate they skill knowledge and caring attitude of his whole staff.
Whenever I leave after my appointment, I always feel relieved because my questions are always answered, never a rushed feeling, and I’m confident that I’m getting the best advice from my caregiver because I believe in this team. IShow moref they don’t have an answer, which is rare, they will find out and get back with you. They know me and my family and they have earned the trust that every patient needs to feel the confidence that sometimes you don’t always get. The best never rests.
Michael A. Ahearn, MD, is the owner and one of the general medicine physicians practicing at Ahearn & Associates Medical Center in Kewanee, Illinois.
Dr. Ahearn was born in 1959 in Mexico City, the oldest of ten kids. Dr. Ahearn was raised in Acapulco, Mexico, but his interest in medicine and passion for helping others brought him back to his hometown when he attended the University of La Salle in Mexico City. He graduated with his Physician-Surgeon degree in 1982 with the highest honors. In 1987, he completed his family practice residency at St Luke’s and Mercy Hospitals in Davenport, Iowa. He then became board-certified in family practice, emergency room, and integrative & holistic medicine. In 2010, he graduated from Harvard Medical School with a certification in acupuncture.
For the past 30 years, Dr. Ahearn has lived in Kewanee, Illinois, where he’s run/owned Ahearn & Associates Medical Center since 2003.
