Southern Illinois Ob-Gyn Associates - Carbondale

"I don't recommend the place. In 2018 I registered as a new patient since I had just moved to Carbondale. I got pregnant and experienced major bleeding and pain. I called the clinic three times begging for the doctor to call me back. I eventually miscarried. They never called me back. I never expected them to save my pregnancy but I needed support from my doctor. In 2023 I decided to give them another chance and changed my doctor in that same clinic. The story almost repeated itself. I got pregnant, started bleeding, and my St. Louis doctor (I was going through IVF treatment) told me I needed to get rhogam shot asap. I called the clinic and I was informed that because I had not been seen by their clinic for 5 years I needed to get to the ER to get the shot. In both cases I felt abandoned and unsupported. It is hard for me to believe those are the doctors that took the oath: "I will practice medicine with integrity, humility, honesty, and compassion"."

"I’ve seen Dr. Tomevi twice now; once for a pretty scary situation with my IUD. She made me feel comfortable and solved the issue. Very happy with her care! Everyone in the office was kind and considerate."

"In 2019 I came into the office and told the receptionist I needed to get an IUD taken out and replaced since it was expiring soon. I told the woman at the front desk I needed to make sure between my two insurances, I’d be covered for this procedure. Otherwise I would not be making the appointment as IUD’s are extremely expensive and I was a full time student making little money with my part time job. After taking both of my insurance cards and ’checking’ she told me I would be fully covered, so I made my appointment. A YEAR AND A HALF later I get a bill in the mail from this same procedure for nearly $1000. I called numerous times furious about them lying to me, requested an itemized bill and was trying to fight the situation. They sent the bill to collections instead of working out a payment plan because I was ‘being difficult’ about the situation. I payed off the collection and gave up my fight even though they were extremely wrong for doing this. Now, 2 years later, I’m having complications with my IUD and I called to make an appointment as soon as possible to have it taken out. The woman told me I was discharged from the practice altogether and could not schedule me at all. I would not recommend this place even to ANYONE."

"I see Dana and she is amazing. My first visit, I passed out and her and all the staff were super kind. I appreciate how's it's staffed mostly (or entirely?) by women. This last visit, Dana saw me promptly, answered my questions, and was very gentle. I had to have blood work done and WOW. The nurses, who were super fun and nice, were great at drawing blood. I warned that I have a tendency to pass out, but I didn't even feel the needle going in or out."
