SIHF Healthcare Effingham is a vital community resource for accessible, caring dental care! As someone with a busy schedule, their flexible hours and walk-in options are a lifesaver. Dr. Patel and her team treated my daughter’s cavity with patience, explaining the process in kid-friendly terms to ease her fears. The clinic is clean and welcoming, with a staff that goes out of their way to assist with insurance questions and payment plans.

Hygienists are gentle and thorough, even with wiggly little patients. They prioritize comfort, offering blankets and friendly chats during visits. A practice that makes dental care stress-free and accessible for families—we’re so grateful to have them locally!

Dr. Doty is wonderful! She is personable and caring. she really listens and tries to be supportive. I highly recommend her! I've been going to SIHF since 2011 and always treated well. The staff is attentive and friendly. They have labs on site. Always easy to get an appointment quickly too!

I receive the best care with the staff at SIHF clinic. My PCP Rebecca Dotty is amazing! I always feel so comfortable when my visits. She takes the time needed to discuss anything I have concerns about or to let me know information I don't know to even ask about. Her bedside manner is impeccable! She goes above and beyond for her patients care. Explains things so that I understand. Appointments are always quick but effective. I never leave feeling like something was missed. The nurses are always kind, helpful and polite. Front desk greets me with a smile and helpful.

I highly recommend this office for any PCP needs. Rebecca is all about fixing the problem and not masking it with medication. I absolutely love that about her. I became a type 2 diabetic and no have kidney problems, due to a previous Dr whom I fully trusted. Huge mistake! Instead of helping me they put me on steroids for almost a year. At the time I had no clue what damage was being done. When Rebecca took over my health care she was now responsible in helping me heal. She had a lot of work to do but she didn't hesitate to give me PROPER care. I was on so many different medications.

18 different types daily at the age of 43. She helped me to understand what each was doing both positive and negative to my body and health. Giving me the honest truth and not trying to snowball me into taking medications for her own profitable gains. I am not on a total of 5 medications, my health has drastically improved and my outlook on life has also improved because of it. My lifestyle is much more manageable and I cannot thank her enough for truly caring about me as a person and not a guinea pig. REBECCA TRULY WANTS her patients needs to be met. She is an amazing health care provider and I'd recommend her to anyone.
