About Midwest Urological Group

What is Midwest Urological Group?

Midwest Urological Group is a urology practice at 7309 N. Knoxville Ave in Peoria, Illinois 61614. The phone number is (309) 692-9898. Its office is open Monday through Thursday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM and Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Most of its work is urology, including vasectomy, erectile dysfunction, enlarged prostate, Peyronie's disease, and urinary incontinence in men and women. Testosterone care is one of its services, listed under low testosterone and hormone replacement alongside injection therapies and PRP.

Four people are listed as prescribers: Joseph J. Banno, MD, George Schuster, M.D., Tracy Schierer, APRN, MSN, FNP-C, and Laura Wilson-Brown, PA-C. The practice describes Dr. Banno as a board-certified urologist. It says the practice has been treating men with low testosterone for over 20 years. Its testosterone information names Springfield, Champaign, Galesburg, Decatur, and Bloomington among the areas it treats men from, though the office is in Peoria. The practice does not list weight loss or peptide therapy among its services.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices or a consultation fee. It does not say whether testosterone medication is included in any price. It also does not mention membership plans, financing, or HSA payments.

Insurance is the main way the practice describes paying for care. In its own words: "We participate with most local and many national insurance plans." Because it takes insurance, your plan's coverage will largely determine what a visit costs you.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs the testosterone prescription, since four clinicians are listed and you should know which one would treat you. Ask which medication is used and whether it is brand-name or compounded, because the practice does not name it. Ask what the blood tests cost. Its testosterone information says diagnosis uses a blood testosterone level along with symptoms, so ask how often follow-up labs are needed and whether your plan covers them.

Ask whether any visit can be done by video or phone, since the practice does not say. Ask what your plan would pay, what your share would be, and whether a consultation fee applies. If you are a woman, ask about the menopause hormone evaluation mentioned in a article the practice has published, and who provides it.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you have insurance the practice accepts, you can reach Peoria during office hours, and you want testosterone care from a practice that also treats other urology conditions. If you want a clinic that publishes its prices and names its medication up front, you will need to get those answers before you book.
