Choosing a Physician
Medical Abbreviations


The Ambulatory Surgery Department was a very pleasant introduction to your hospital's patient care facilities.


Everyone was kind and considerate. They were very helpful with the directions about what I should do when I get home.


It was just an excellent experience at The Baby Place!


I have always had a good experience at Pekin Hospital. Why go to Peoria? I am ready to have the second eye surgery because of the good experience with the first one.


Pekin Hospital always serves very good food. It is hard to please everyone, but you do an excellent job!


I had a very long labor and delivery, but I am so glad I made the choice to deliver at your hospital! Your staff was excellent! A special thank you to Dorothea and Laurel for everything they did. They truly did everything in their power to make sure our baby was taken care of.


Our family always uses Pekin Hospital because we receive excellent care.


My experience at the doctor’s office was very good – I can’t find one thing to complain about!


My husband was a patient in UrgentCare, and he was very impressed with the friendly, professional staff.


We were very pleased with the overall care our son received at Pekin Hospital. He had to spend the night for the first time ever in the hospital, and the staff was just wonderful to him. This proves that bigger isn’t always better. I would choose Pekin over any other hospital any day!


Overall, I just want to say thank you for the excellent care! Pekin Hospital was there for me when I needed it the most.
