Centegra Physician Care-Fox Valley, Algonquin

I started going to see Dr. Thomas Salvi about 8 years now, He is a wonderful doctor. He is a very good listener and try to make you feel better and leave there knowing he cares. I have had many health issues and he has always taken good care of me. I would and will refer friends and co-worker to see him. I was going to another doctor and when I got married my husband told me to just try Dr Salvi and I have not changed doctors since than. I have had 2 neck surgery's and I have to go to him for my physicals and he is always so happy and cheerful. Yes it is sometimes very hard to see him but if it can wait believe me he is worth it. Thanks Dr Salvi your one of a kind. UPDATE:: I seen Dr Salvi on 2/17/17 and Everytime I go to see him it such a pleasure you would think like what why would it be a pleasure He's always in a joyful mood and he will try his hardest to help you and he does atleast for me he does. He's a Dr that listens to you fully and that's great. Another great appointment. Thanks Dr. Salvi UPDATE I FOUND THIS BECAUSE I HAD A RELATIONSHIP WITH DR. SALVI AND YOUR PRACTICE ABANDONED ME. THIS IN NO WAY REGARDS DR. SALVI I KNOW HE WOULD NEVER ABANDON HIS PATIENTS!!!!!!Avoid patient abandonment. Before the departing physician terminates any physician-patient relationship, that patient must be given sufficient advance notice to enable him or her to secure the services of another physician. Failure to provide sufficient notice may leave the departing physician and/or the practice vulnerable to charges of patient abandonment, which is when a physician fails to provide for necessary medical care to a current patient without adequate justification. In general, once a physician-patient relationship is established, the physician and the practice have an ongoing responsibility to the patient until it is terminated.

Selected Centegra for my annual physical. My company covers annual physical 100% and have for every other doctor I’ve used for my annual physical. During the physical, doctor asked me questions about physical health. I told him about some minor discomfort. He recommended over the counter items. No additional visits or consultations. Centegra charged me personally $183.73 in addition to the hundreds they charged my insurance. I called several times and no one could help me. They only said insurance covered the annual physical and blood tests but the additional service recommending over the counter items was the $183.73. I do not recommend an organization that falsely inflates services to earn an extra dollar. Unethical organization.

While the physicians are great the management and especially the billing department are among the worst I've ever encountered. On 4 separate occasions they have skipped the billing process entirely and sent information straight to their third party creditor Harris & Harris, Ltd. The first bill received is a threat from their creditor. An attempt to call and remedy the situation resulted in being placed on hold until you hang-up. To add insult to injury, after paying the amount due, I've received addituondl bills from Harris & Harris Ltd for the same service, this time for even more. After being a loyal customer for decades when they were called Fox Valley Internal Medicine I've had enough. Do yourself a favor go elsewhere.

I am a former patient of Dr.Tomlin and FVM so I bring a different viewpoint to this practice. We moved to Florida a year ago and the search for a good doctor was very difficult. I finally found a decent doc here in central Florida and I like him a lot. Now, here is my perspective on Dr Tomlin and FVM. There are none better. Dr. T. is smart and up to date on medicine. He is everything I wanted in a personal physician.

I don't believe people understand what has happened to CPC FV since takenover by Centegra. Provider Based Billing is your enemy! When you walk in the reception will ask for your co-pay but when they code the bill it will not be listed as a co-pay it will be listed as a "Facilities Charge". Now your insurance company thinks you went to the Hospital for services not a Doctor's office. This means higher cost for you as you are now clasified as an out-patient. Some great people at CPCFV but not worth the added costs. If you like CPCFV and want to continue to use them work with your insurance company to locate "Free Standing Facilities" for lab work, exrays, etc... to minimize your costs.

Took almost 3 weeks to get the results of my yearly physical and the doctor didn’t even check my prostate. Since Dr Salvi left the place has gone downhill

Not helpful. They dont take emails, or pictures of your insurance card.
