Ingrid C. Antonsen
Christie Clinic on Windsor/Convenient Care217.366.6104“I want my patients to feel that I am their confidant and friend as well as their physician. Good health care is a journey made together often requiring difficult decisions under stressful circumstances. Friendship is a key ingredient.”

M. Lennie Q. Baisa
Christie Clinic on Windsor/Convenient Care217.366.6104“My interest in
medicine began only
when I was an
undergraduate student.
I really was not sure
what I would like to
be. I did know what I
liked to do — finding
out why something is
not working well, why
it sounds different, or
in short, why something
is not what it is
supposed to be. So I
thought I would be a
mechanical engineer.
However dealing with
an inanimate object
does not sound very
appealing to me.
A person can interact
with me and help me
find the answer.” -
Cynthia Troiano
Christie Clinic on Windsor/Convenient Care217.366.6104"People have more influence on their well-being than they realize, even if genetics plays a role. Starting with childhood I try to get patients to take control over their individual health. Lifestyle and things happening in a patient’s life can dramatically affect whether or not he has another heart attack, what type of diabetic control she may have, how difficult the blood pressure may be to treat, even what medical conditions develop."

Summer Roeschley
Christie Clinic on Windsor/Convenient Care217.366.6104"I want my patients to know they connected with me. I want them to come into the office and really believe as they leave that I took time, paid attention, and listened to their concerns. I also want them to get a sense of honesty, integrity, and trust from me. I want them to feel confident in knowing that I will do my best to provide first-class care."

the way I would want to
be treated. Listening is
one of the greatest tools
we have in our arsenal
to diagnose and meet
the needs of many of
our patients. I have the
privilege of sharing in
the lives of people from
all walks of life and
to make a positive
influence. It is the
qualities of the patient
that make the job
a joy.” -
Eleanor Peters
Christie Clinic in Danville on Vermilion/Convenient Care217.442.8611“I feel it’s important to

and respect their
concerns. I strive to
understand each patient
as a unique person.” -

Charles Buchanan
Christie Clinic in Mahomet217.586.6600"I want my patients to know I care about their health and well-being, and they can feel at ease that I’m doing my best to help them. The more the patient is able to tell me about his or her condition, the better I can make a diagnosis. An important component of diagnosing a patient lies within knowing the patient’s medical history."

Bill Kilpatrick
Christie Clinic in Tuscola217.253.9258“If you are
unsure whether your
current condition is
something that needs
to be treated, don’t
hesitate to come in
and have it checked
out because you will
constantly second
guess yourself if you
are doing the right
things to correct the
problem. The peace
of mind knowing you
are doing what is right
is invaluable.” -
Daniel J. Lee
Christie Clinic in Urbana/Convenient Care217.344.9440“I believe that the communication between a patient and a doctor is the most important aspect of medicine. I want to not only hear about their symptoms, but also understand the person holistically as well. I want my patients to feel comfortable about sharing their medical problems with me and I will do my best to help them. I consider it a great privilege and an honor when an individual trusts me with their health.”

I take the extra effort to know the person more individually and treat the illness and the person as a whole.”
