It was very busy that day but everything went like clockwork. I did not have to wait long to go back for my procedure. Nurses always had time to answer my questions – good sense of team work.


This visit has changed my mind considerably about Pekin Hospital and the way things are run there today. It's the people that make a difference, and you can be proud of the staff you have.


I had exceptional service! It would be nice if all medical offices were as cheerful and courteous as this one. The whole staff was great!


All of the people in Intensive Care and Critical Care should be recognized because they are a great group of workers.


The nurses and CNAs are a dedicated team of workers who deliver outstanding care. Pekin Hospital is blessed to have such a good group of employees.


Your nurses are fantastic! Both the hospital and staff are excellent.


My Dad worked for years in the surgery department of another hospital, and he came to your ER with cardiac issues. My concern was that we might need to transfer him to that hospital, but his care at Pekin was absolutely outstanding and I never had any desire to move Dad. I think when people do an outstanding job, it's important to make sure Administration knows that.


The supervisor was training another worker. They were both excellent and must have asked me if I was comfortable at least five times! It was a great experience.


It was not my intention to deliver at Pekin Hospital - I was pre-registered at a Peoria hospital... but I was having strong contractions, an ice storm was starting, and my doctor was gone on vacation. I drove myself to Pekin Hospital since I live less than a mile away. I was treated so well that I decided to deliver there.


They did a quick strep swab - results were given in 15 to 20 minutes. Nurse was very quick with the swab and that made it very comfortable.


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