11/19/2025

EVEN THOUGH YOU COULD SEE THAT DR. BEWLEY WAS TIRED FROM FAMILY WORRIES SHE DID NOT LET THIS INTEREFERE WITH GIVING ME FULL ATTENTION. WHEN SHE TOOK THE HYPOCRATIC OATH TO TEND TO HER PATIENTS AS COMPLETELY AS POSSIBLE AND WITH GIVING ANYTHING SHE NEEDED TO SAY TO YOU WITH A TONE THAT SAID SHE TOOK WHAT YOU DID PERSONALLY. (LIKE - DID THEY REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT I TOLD THEM THOUGHT) SINCE I AM A OLD ENOUGH TO HAVE EXPERIENCED OTHER DOCTORS AND ALSO THE SPECIALISTS I AM SEEING I HAVE A BROAD SPECTRUM OF DOCTORS AND I KNOW THAT WHEN I SAY THAT DR. BEWLEY IS AWESOME I KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT.

11/09/2025

I love who Dr. Bewley is. She has always taken the time to address and reflect on any of my healthcare concerns. That said, I felt what I will call “the Medicare effect” (ie-patient rotation) impacting the much appreciated explanations that have accompanied my visits in the past. I am basing this, not solely up on this one visit, but on what friends, family and colleagues have noticed about doctor visits in general, no matter where they went.

08/14/2025

WHEN YOU NEED TO FIND A NEW DOCTOR THIS CAN BE A CHALLENGE WHICH IS WHERE I WAS AT WHEN WE TRIED DR. BEWLEY. I HAD ALREADY MET SOME DUDS ON THE WAY. FROM THE MOMENT I MET HER SHE STARTED CHECKING THE RIGHT BOXES OF WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR. SHE WAS REPLACING A FAMILY DOCTOR THAT I HAD FOR YEARS. QUITE QUICKLY I KNEW SHE WAS THE DOCTOR I WANTED TO GO WITH. THIS DECISION WAS MADE MANY YEARS AGO AND I HAVE NEVER REGRETTED IT. IF SOMEONE IS LOOKING FOR A DOCTOR THAT SHOWS SINCERE CARE FOR YOU AS WELL AS HAVING A WEALTH OF MEDICAL KNOWLEDGE THEY WOULD NEVER GO WRONG WITH GETTING HER FOR THEIR DOCTOR.

08/14/2025

Very nice and informative Doctor. We met with Dr. Bewley- Thomas.She was very helpful and explained All the results from the hospital stay and new tests she would like completed.

06/26/2025

ON THIS VISIT I CAME TO DR. BEWLEY WITH A PROBLEM THAT WAS UPSETTING ME. SHE CALMLY ASKED MANY QUESTIONS TO GET THE FULL PICTURE OF ALL THAT WAS GOING ON. THEN LOOKING OVER MY CHART OF MEDICINES AND HEALTH ISSUES I HAD SHE STARTED TO LOOKE CAREFULLY AT HOW THEY WOULD IMPACT THE SITUATION. SHE THEN TOOK AND WROTE A NUMBER OF TESTS SHE WANTED DONE AND MADE THEM ALL STATE SO SHE WOULD HAVE THE RESULTS RIGHT AWAY. AS SOON AS SHE GOT THE RESULTS SHE POSTED A SMALL RESULT WITH THE TEST TO LET ME KNOW THAT THIS ONE TURNED OUT NOT TO BE THE PROBLEM, CARE LIKE THAT IS HARD TO FIND BUT I FOUND THIS TREASURE IN DR.

05/28/2025

She is a good doctor!

05/26/2025

Excellent doctor.

05/24/2025

Dr. Bewley is very personable. She is very caring and makes sure that you receive the medical attention that you need. She is very knowledgeable. At my visit with Dr. Bewley on May 23, 2025, she told me about a diagnosis that my Specialty Physicians of Illinois cardiologist never relayed to me. That diagnosis is potentially a life threatening diagnosis, and I think it is very negligent of that cardiologist not to have even told me about it.

05/23/2025

Good listening.

05/21/2025

She always explains things and is always able to answer my questions so I can understand!

05/08/2025

Dr Bewley-Thomas is the best!

05/05/2025

Love Dr. Bewley Thomas has great bed side manner and always listens.

05/04/2025

Engaged and smart doing all she can to get the client what they need. So sorry the healthcare system is compromised and annoying to navigate making it frustrating for physicians to do their job. The time constraints on length of visits makes it hard for physicians to connect with patients in a personal way. I usually leave with the referrals I need but do not feel heard. There is not enough conversation time to get answers for the “what if” questions.

05/03/2025

Dr. Bewley is the best! She doesn't rush, and she listens to my question and comments. GREAT bedside manner! She is a down to earth caring doctor

04/30/2025

A good doctor who cares

04/29/2025

She was very helpful and accommodating.

04/29/2025

She's great!

04/28/2025

Dr listens and spends time finding out how you feel.

04/26/2025

IT MIGHT SOUND STRANGE BUT DR. BEWLEY IS MY TYPE OF DOCTOR. SHE IS VERY SMART AND KNOWS A LOT ABOUT A LOT OF DIFFERENT HEALTH ISSUES. BUT SHE IS ALSO HUMAN ENOUGH TO ADMIT THAT SHE DOESN'T KNOW EVERYTHING. RECENTLY A CARDIOLOGIST I SEE HAS GIVEN ME A DIAGNOSIS AND PART OF IT WAS SOMETHING DR. BEWLEY WAS NOT UP ON. SO SHE STATED THAT SHE WAS GOING TO READ UP ON IT SO SHE COULD HELP HOW IT AFFECTS ME SO IF I COME TO SEE HER SHE WILL KNOW HOW TO INCORPORATE THIS INFORMATION WITH ANY PROBLEMS I BRING TO HER. SHE IS NOT ONE OF THOSE DOCTORS THAT WILL NOT ADMIT THEY MIGHT NOT KNOW ALL THEY SHOULD. THE FACT OF HER STATEMENT GIVES ME MORE CONFIDENCE IN HER TREATMENTS FOR ME BECAUSE SHE KNOWS THE FACTS THAT ARE NECESSARY TO CONSIDER. IN MY ESTIMATION OF HER SHE IS A CARING, VERY COMPETENT AND WANTS TO DO HER VERY BEST FOR HER PATIENT. JUST ONE MORE REASON AS LONG AS SHE IS IN PRACTICE I WILL BE HER PATIENT.

04/24/2025

She really cares about your health and well being..

04/24/2025

Very patient and caring. I could tell she loves her job.

04/24/2025

Phenomenal Doctor of Osteopathic Principles.

04/22/2025

Everything was fine I could have asked a few more questions but no complaints

04/20/2025

proficient

04/18/2025

Listen to what I said.

04/18/2025

Dr. Bewley Thomas is a skilled, efficient, and caring doctor. She attentively listened and promptly responded to my concerns, which were minor. She is experiencing challenges herself, due to her husband having recently suffered a stroke, and her mom being placed in hospice. In spite of these circumstances, she was still cheerful and gracious. We need more doctors like her. Sacrificially, she was even working of Good (Holy) Friday, two days before Easter. I am praying for her and her family.

04/17/2025

We love Dr.Bewley’s honesty and very pleasant and professional manner.

04/16/2025

Kathleen is very professional and nice

04/15/2025

03/31/2025

She is the best

03/26/2025

THIS WAS NOT MY FIRST VISIT TO SEE DR. BEWLEY AND WILL NOT BE MY LAST. I HAD BEEN LOOKING FOR A REPLACEMENT FOR MY PERSONAL PHYSICIAN WHEN I SAW HER THE FIRST TIME. SHE CLICKED WITH ME ON ALL SIDES. WHAT MAKES DR. BEWLEY SO GOOD IS HER PERSONALITY - SHE SHOWS GENUINE INTEREST IN YOU AS A PERSON NOT AS A DISEASE. HER MEDICAL KNOWLEDGE IS AMAZING AND SINCE SHE SOMETIMES HAS TO ACT LIKE A GUIDE TO ANOTHER DOCTOR WHO SPECIALIZES IN WHAT I NEED SHE KNOWS WHO IS AVAILABLE AND WOULD BE A GOOD MATCH FOR ME. ALL IN ALL SHE IS AN AMAZING DOCTOR AND IT IS A SHAME THAT YOU CANNOT CLONE HER SO ALL PEOPLE WHO NEED A DOCTOR WOULD HAVE HER.

03/26/2025

Dr. Bewley-Thomas is absolutely the best. She smart, professional, and caring. She’s been my doctor for probably just over 20 years. I really appreciate her.
