I understand this facility is not capable of testing for a larger variety of issues, however they decided to prescribe him 2,000mg of Amoxicillin *per day*. His symptoms got worse, and when we continued to contact this facility they advised to stick with the dose. A week later we decided to take him into the ER, and it turned out to be Appendicitis-surgery immediately. Again, I understand that Urgent Care centers have limitations on their abilities. However, a transparent suggestion to seek further medical advice instead of feeding him antibiotics would have been a smart and transparent next step. Very upsetting.

The front desk told me that I had no insurance and paid a lump sum of $184.80. Then I told the doctor that I would be out in less than ten minutes. She also said that you don't need to see a doctor for this type of allergy, you can just go to a regular pharmacy and buy medicine yourself! No prescription medication and a month later they sent me another bill for $98.40! Said I chatted with the doctor for 35 minutes! It said that if it exceeds 30 minutes, it will be counted as 45 minutes!

I met with Dr Samec today who will now be my physician. He was familiar with my med history which put me at ease. He spent what I felt was a great deal of time talking to me and asking questions. He was so very patient with me as I shared issues about my med history I wanted him to be aware of. Dr Samec is experienced, thoughtful and caring. Working closely with Dr Samec is PA Laurie Hughell. If you are seeking treatment for osteoporosis or rheumatoid arthritis, I recommend Dr Samec and Laurie Hughell. I have trusted my care to this office for 18 years. I rarely write reviews but if you are new to the area or looking for a new provider, I highly recommend this team. Mutual trust must be the bedrock of a good doctor/patient relationship.

This makes you just another doctors office. STOP THE BS and wasting people's time when they are in pain & need care. If anyone questions why hospital emergency rooms are used for non life threatening care- this office is one one of the reasons. Lying to the public and actually using a 20 foot neon sign to promote the lie, is rediculous and reprehensable. I will make sure everyone I know to take their business elsewhere. Clearly this is not a medical care provider that cares about people.

We drive 40 miles to have a rude receptionist tell us no and make us pay another co-pay. Waste of time and money when I could have waited 1 more day to have the doctor 2 blocks away take them out.

Avoid this clinic at all costs…read more From the moment I walked in, it was clear that patient care is not a priority here. The receptionist was shockingly rude, dismissive, and completely unhelpful. She acted like answering basic questions was an inconvenience and moved at an unreasonably slow pace despite the office being completely empty. An empty waiting room should have been a red flag--and after reading other reviews, it's obvious this place has a pattern of poor service. This was not a one-off bad day; it's how they operate. To make matters worse, they seem more focused on overcharging than actually helping patients. There was little to no effort to work with insurance, which feels intentional and predatory. If you value your time, money, and basic respect, go anywhere else. This clinic does not deserve your business.

I had to wait a long time because my ENT Dr. Was performing an emergency surgery 100 miles away. I don't think it's coincidental that I've had such good treatment.

This was unplanned and at a great convenance as his family lives in a rural part of the state! -The downtown Mercy one was awful! I am literally scared if I ever end up there! The nurses were not compassionate or empathetic at all! He had horrible pain management and was talked down to by many of the nurses. There was yelling in the hall from a nurse to a patient as well. My Dad felt uncomfortable to ask questions and request care during his stay. We are from a way bigger city than Des Moines and did not expect such awful care! They just wanted to push him out despite his high pain. No thought or care for his condition or age! WE WILL AVOID THIS BRANCH OF HOSPITALS IN THE FUTURE! This hospital should study up on the organization UCHealth! This is the top tier care we are used to! What a awful culture and patient care model.
