Patient Reviews
Oct 23, 2022
Sadly, the practice is closing 10/28/22 & Dr. Cangas will be moving to private practice. We’ve been thankful to receive excellent service for 16 years from Dr. Cangas from day one of my daughter’s life. He knows the patients, remembers them, empathetic, thorough & fun for the kids. Never rushing the appointments, will discuss concerns as long as it takes. NP Marcia McGraw-Houchens is amazing - there just aren’t words to express our gratitude for her help & service the last seven years. We hope to follow her to her next office.

About Me

Care Philosophy
  • We respect all parents' decisions on their child's care, however, we practice evidence based medicine, and follow protocol on scientifically proven effective methods of treatment.  So much of children's health, especially in childhood and adolescence is behaviorally modeled- meaning parents that lead by example by eating well, sleeping sufficiently, creating safe and loving home environments can create an environment more suitable for a child to grow and thrive in. We will always listen to a parent's concern, and will try our best to come to the safest method to treat your child which will make the parent feel comfortable, but most importantly will also be the best treatment for your child. 

    At Illini Pediatrics and Ideal Pediatrics, we truly do treat your children like our own. We want all children to be loved, and have an opportunity for a healthy and long life. By providing the best possible service, we hope that you can call us your medical home.
