Comments
Dr Imlach knows my history and is always patient when I have my concerns. He is very personable and makes me comfortable with his advice.
good listener; outlined plan to effectively counter medical condition
he listened to what I said
Overall good experience with Dr Imlach; I've been with him for 15+ years.
wait to long
Dr. Imlach is always attentive to my health concerns and provides excellent care.
I really liked this provider he was very nice and did well with my son who's only 2
Doctor was late about an hour, then when reaches you does not spend enough time with you. Also, the helpers will ask you to leave before you are done. You might be waiting for the doctor to return so that you can ask more questions and they will tell you that he was finished with you.{ This is unsatisfactory} to patients. We are aware that he has to see other patients but maybe if he wasnt late all of the time it wouldnt be soo bad. I believe that they need to schedule his patients as appropiate to him or his schedule as possible.
Positive experience. easy to talk with.
Alway a pleasant annual checkup.
A great doctor, have been with him for a number of years.
Always has great information and knowledge about my medical conditions. Has a great "bedside manner".
good
Positive, friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, etc.. Health care team are awesome. Love my Doctor William Imlach.
It is always a pleasure to see Dr. Imlach. He always listens and asks my emotional well being, as well as my health concerns. He is a very caring individual.
He always spends enough time with me, and I have always respected him for his concern in my well being, and quality of life health wise.
Extremly excellant

Outstanding
Left office feeling better than arrival
I had a great visit and my problem has been solved
good experience with the doctor
Dr. Imlach has been helping me with my digestive issues since my bowels were knicked. He is very cautious about prescriptions and dosages. He expresses true concern during my appointments.5
This was a Zoom visit. I did not come into contact with clerks or other staff. My experiences have always been professional and pleasant.
This doctor makes me feel very comfortable to talk to. I love having him as my doctor.
Always good to talk with Dr. Imlach--wouldn't trade him for anything.
it's 50/50 whether or not he will take me seriously.
a very good provider
Dr Imlach is very knowledgeable and makes me feel comfortable in sharing my health concerns.
Good experience
1st video chat because of Covid 19. Went well.
Dr William Imlach is the best!
Typically experience very good visits with my visits with Dr. Imlach. He has been my Family PCP since Dr. X left Osteopathic Hospital about 25 years. ago. he is well versed with my complicated phyisical and mental well being. I very much appreciate his ability to do so or send me to a specialist for care as neccessiary!
I think he's fantastic
My doctor knows best. He probably saved my life and definitely takes care of my entire family with professionalism and care
excellent
My Doctor Imlach always hits the nail on the head. He is a great doctor who needs to be recognized for outstanding work he does. Please consider giving Dr. Imlach a award for his work.
Dr. Imlach is an excellent family doctor. He knows your medical history and is truly concerned with my improvement for overall good health. I trust this doctor to help me.
Generally he cares about his patients.
My previous physician closed her practice and I was in need of a new physician. Dr. Imlach is my husband s physician and both my sons when they lived here and had always given excellent care to them, so I requested him to accept me as well, and he was kind enough to do so and very quickly. I was without a physician in the middle of a pandemic and had no way of renewing my thyroid medication, and he took care of my needs quickly.
it was my first video visit and went extremely well, thanks to Dr. Imlach and his nurse.
excellent experience, got in sooner than I thought, and was treated great by the Dr and all of his staff.
Dr. Imlach is a great Dr. I trust his knowledge and experience. My Dad was a patient at another hospital under the Presence medical group, and I transferred him to advocate medical group. And now he has the same primary care Dr. that I have . ( Dr Imlach ) and also my Husband . My husband and my 92 year old dad , both have very serious medical conditions. We are very satisfied with Dr. Imlach. He will ease your concerns and have you feeling better soon.
The visit went well, but the wait time in the examination room was long. I would prefer to wait in lobby until time for the doctor.
Good
Was an electronic visit, first time for me. Went well. Dr. Imlach is always a pro.

always explains any questions I have
Dr.Imlach is very professional and has very good ideas to help me He is well mannered Dr.
Dr.Imlach is an awesome doctor.
it was a good visit
It's always a positive experience when I visit Dr. Imlach. He makes you feel very comfortable.
I's very easy to talk with Dr. Imlach because he seems to know how to reach you where you're at.
Dr. Imlach is the best doctor I could ever ask for. he actually listens to me and cares about his patients. You are extremely lucky to have him on your staff.
My visit with Dr. Imlach was as I expected it to be. His willingness to listen without making you feel hurried is excellent. When you are with him, he gives the impression that you are his only patient and he has all the time in the world to listen to you and he will always respectfully answer all questions. He has been my doctor for more than 20 years and during my last visit i learned that I was his very first patient.
Dr. Imlach ordered lab work that same day. Although the wait time to see him was short, the wait time for the lab tests was extremely long. I waited more than 3 hours and when after almost everyone else was called and i was finally call the lab tech so very rude, that one of her coworkers call her on her rudeness. All the techs were very unprofessional. Examples: eating in my present, discussing eating habits and dinner plans. There were still a few patients waiting for lab work.
I had my blood work done previous to meeting with Dr. Imlach and he went over my concerns with a calming effect. My fears for my family history of Alzheimer's were discussed in depth and encouragement for my walking a thousand miles last year were acknowledged and praised. Good visit.
I have had Dr. Imlach for years as my physician. I have made sure that Dr. Imlach is in my network when choosing insurance. In this day and age, it is rare to have a physician care so much about a patient. Dr. Imlach goes above and beyond to ensure my questions and medical needs are meet.
Dr. Imlach is always asking about me & family if I did need any help. I said not now. he told me to call him any time I feel I might need some help - His very considered about me & family.
I seem to have good feeling every time I see Dr. Imlach. He talks to me as if I was a family MEMBER.
Dr Imlach is an excellent doctor.
HE has helped me through the sudden loss of my husband.
Dr. Was Awesome Wait Time Still Sucks , Even Though I Pre-paid And Registered On Line .
very good at listening and providing any health problems to me.
Dr. Imlach is a good caring doctor but is almost always in a rush.
Dr Imlach took the time needed to take care of my needs.
Dr Imlach is great!
