Brian S. Boe, M.D. The entire staff at Barix Clinic/Northwestern Suburban Community Hospital in Belvidere, IL was great. Dr. Boe was professional and personable when I talked to him before and after surgery. He made me feel safe and that, to me, was the most important thing. The only negative thing I have to say is that I don't feel like I got a lot of one on one time with him to ask questions, although the nursing staff was there to help with any of those questions I didn't get to ask Dr. Boe. During my two night/three day stay there I came into contact with A LOT of nurses. At first I tried to keep track of all their names but because there were so many wonderful ladies working with me (not to mention I was on a lot of morphine) I was unable to. I didn't see a place to talk about the rest of the hospital staff and I really wanted to stress how great these particular ladies were so here we go. The second night in the hospital I got a fever and was worried that I wouldn't get to go home, or that there was something horribly wrong with me. One of the over-night nurses stayed with me in my room and talked to me to help me relax and feel better when I couldn't find the number to the hotel where my mom was staying. She didn't have to do that, but I was very grateful she did. I highly recomend Barix Clinic, all of the people there were caring and helpful.
