Board certification in a primary or specialty area indicates that the physician has met national standards of care and knowledge. Board certification is obtained after completing an accredited residency, taking a standardized test, and maintaining knowledge in the area of medicine for recertification. Additionally the American Board of Family Medicine does chart review for chronic illness management and treatment to make sure standards are met nationally, such as with Asthma, CHF, Diabetes, and Hypertension. You do not have to be board certified to be on staff at the local hospitals. What are some examples of area primary care doctors who are not board certified?

Information obtained from the Illinois Department of Professional Regulation physician profile in Jan, 2010 and is considered public knowledge. Information is subject to change. Surprisingly many "specialists" in the area are not board certified.
I see my own patients, when they are admitted to either Belleville Hospital. Being listed as on staff at a hospital does not mean your doctor will care for you when you are sick in the hospital. The following doctors or practices have eliminated their inpatient care or only go to one hospital:
  • In O'Fallon, Drs. David McCarthy, Donald Clark, Donna Wagstaff, and Scott Morrison practice outpatient medicine and do not see inpatients at either Belleville Hospital.
  • In O'Fallon Drs. Hennon, Reinert, and Jubinski also practice outpatient medicine and do not go to either Belleville Hospital.
  • In the metro east, Drs. Roberto Collantes, Deatrice Kellogg, Paul Malcharek, Beatriz Ramos-Pardo, and Bryan Warner do not admit their own patients and do not directly see their own patients at either hospital.
  • As of 12/20/09 the following doctors quit going to St. Elizabeth's Hospital: Drs. Jennifer Follwell, Don Manarang, Salma Mannan-Hilaly, Ellen Middendorf, David Rawdon, and Christopher Schenewerk, and James Wade. Some of these doctors even trained at St. Elizabeth's for their residency.
  • Dr. Robert Farmer and Dr. Jon Cumberledge do not go to either Belleville Hospital. Their insurance does not allow them to see patients inside St. Clair Country, which saves each of them around $10,000 a year.
  • Drs. Hageman and Shawahin discontinued admitting patients to St. Elizabeth's Hospital of Belleville.
  • Almost any primary care doctor with the Southern Illinois Healthcare Foundation only sees outpatients. The few who see inpatients do not come to the Belleville hospitals, with four exceptions in internal medicine and ob/gyn.
  • Any of the residency doctors and most family practice doctors who have offices on 180 South Third Street or 311 West Lincoln in Belleville do not go to Belleville Memorial Hospital.
