Q: Can the society help me find past medical records?
A: The society assists patients in finding their medical records,
so long as their physician is or has been a member of our society
and we are able to locate the physician or their partners.
Q: Can the society help me if I have a complaint about my doctor?
A: Yes, the society has a Mediation Committee which will try to
assist the physicians who are members of the society and patients
to amicablly resolve minor mis-understandings.
Q: What other services does the society offer?
A: The Peoria Medical Society offers many services to the physician
members and patients, but one of the most useful and unknown services
is the Credentialing Service. The Peoria Medical Society researches
and provides a written verification of all training, fellowships
and affiliations of all physicians and advanced practice providers
for all three area hospitals. Not only does this service assist
the hospitals in deciding who will be allowed to provide care in
their facilities, but it also insures the validity of the credentials
of health care professionals for our the patients in our area.
