Women's Health Institute, Dr. Larry Overcash, M.D, F.A.C.O.G.

"Went in to have sonogram results gone over for an abnormally sized ovarian cyst. The first thing that was done was a pelvic exam from which I was told that my uterus is “crooked”. Dr. Larry Overcash did not follow up on that or tell me what that means. When I asked about sonogram results he said that it’s large (which he knew I already was aware of), and to also come back in 3 months. Nothing else was said. What a waste of my time. He told me that it’s possible for the cyst to kill my ovary, “and if that happens you’ll be throwing up and going back to the ER.” I was in the ER because I had a kidney stent put in. He told me that “he doesnt like OSF.” And that he doesnt think it’s a good idea I have a stent. He is not a urologist so not sure why he felt the need to comment on that. He wasn’t there to see how sick I was when I had my kidney infection. I’ve had kidney problems/surgeries all my life. Moral of the story, I feel more anxious about my health than before I came in for my appointment. All Dr. Overcash did was get me more worked up. Followed up on nothing, was no help to me at all. If your patient is telling you they feel that something is wrong, LISTEN!!! Don’t IGNORE!!!"

"Great experience. I felt listened to and treated like my concerns were important. He did a great job of explaining things to me. He has great bedside manner and doesn’t rush through the appointment."

"Dr. Overcash was very receptive to my concerns. It’s so difficult to find a doctor that will listen, especially as a woman. He not only listened but was honest in his assessment and in the steps moving forward with my treatment and care. I have definitely found an excellent doctor in Dr. Overcash."

"Dr.Overcash is the best!! Over 38 years under his belt and it shows. He is kind, empathetic, knowledgeable and professional. Dr.Overcash patiently listened as I explained my situation and answered all my questions. He also took the time to talk me through the entire process start to finish. I understood what was happening and was able to stay calm. You can trust Dr.Overcash to truly provide the highest level of care. Best gynecologist in Peoria, highly recommend."

"I am over a month postpartum and I am unfortunately unsatisfied with the care I received. The communication, support and education I received as a first time mom was poor. Dr. Overcash had originally told me he didn’t want me going to my due date and wanted me to deliver sooner than later. Next appointment, he was annoyed that the perinatologist wanted me to deliver at 38 weeks. I really wasn’t given any education on what to expect during delivery. There was no communication from him during my labor especially at the end when he had his hand inside me and was stitching me up without even telling me I had a tear or what was going on. At my postpartum appointment, I was shocked they didn’t administer a postpartum depressions scale or inquire much about how I am doing mentally. It is hard being a first time mom and I was overall disappointed in how I was treated."
