The line was 5 people deep when I arrived. I still only waited about 5 minutes or so and I liked that their identity verification questions were just partial (street you live on, last 4 digits of phone number). The RN and MD I saw were both very professional, kind and helpful. The MD walked me out to the reschedule station. It was nice to see a practice of patient-centered care.

Went in for an ER visit due to severe abdominal and back pain with vomiting. Our nurse Cassie was…read morekind, however our "ER Doctor" Stubitson diagnosed my significant other with Dehydration and nausea. Gave him pain meds 2 different time (different kinds to help the pain) neither worked, no one came to check on us during those 4 hours except when we had to ASK for someone to come in. Stubitson didn't even talk to us before diagnosing and now we are now admitted at St. Mary's because they failed to diagnose pancreatitis. Thanks for the waste of time and telling my significant other not to panic because "everyone throws up". They did a blood test but never did any other kind of imaging or tests to diagnose his issue. I recommend choosing a different hospital if you are looking for emergency or urgent care because although the nurse was nice, Stubitson brushed us off, was rude, and failed to diagnose or order correct imaging.

Reception was very nice. The nurse was slightly brusque, but businesslike and not unfriendly. I saw Dr. Gamez, and he was very good...skilled, courteous, and transparent about the examination and treatment process as he went along. I would come back (but hopefully I won't have occasion to).

This was my second visit to East Hospital. My first was a few months ago to use the swimming pool…read more There's plenty of free parking, which is great, and the signage throughout the facility is clear and easy to follow. Upon entering, staff members are stationed at the information desk to answer any questions, which is helpful. The pool is located in one corner of the building. There are lockers available for changing, and a lifeguard is always on duty. It's a lap-sized pool and overall a nice facility. This time, I visited a friend who was there for a procedure. The hospital itself is only a decade old so it looks well kept!

After an emergent reconstructive hand surgery with a two night hospital stay and a half dozen OT…read morevisits, I am very impressed with the caliber of the staff and the respect they have shown me in my recovery.

My experience in pediatrics with Dr. Kincaid has always been fantastic. The front-end staff are…read morequick but respectful, the area is well maintained and there is a large, bright waiting area (complete with phone chargers). Dr. Kincaid was rated "the Best of the Best" for Sauk County and has been widely recommended by my friends and family. He has a very calm, kind demeanor, thoroughly explains things, is very honest as well as interacting with the children in stressful situations. Nice sense of humor. We saw his colleague when Dr. Kincaid wasn't in clinic and he was geat too. Very personable and kind nursing/MA staff for initial prep as well as shots. Best experience at a medical facility (and I have been in many)!

They also failed to move me to a more comfortable bed for an hour and a half even though they knew I wexperiencing severe neck pain due to severe neck arthritis and a bad pillow. The nurses in the hospital kept me awake all night laughing and gossiping in the hall outside my room, so I got no sleep for 36 hours while in a health crisis. The doctor was extremely chauvinistic and lectured me extensively on what a bad patient I was for taking estrogen for hot flashes and he wouldn't stop even when I asked him to leave me alone (this was at 4 in the morning, by the way) After my stay a grievance was opened and I spoke with various people for a total of about two hours of wasted time. I was promised that they would call back with a plan about how some of the miscommunication and poor care could be avoided in the future. I requested apology letters from the nurses who kept me awake rather than asking that they be written up. I was promised that I would get thode. I never got my return call or my apology letters. So they blew me off twice, once with my care and again with my complaint. They absolutely do not care one bit about their patients and I would recommend going just about anywhere else but here. Truly awful "care."

Medical Providers have been exceptional and thorough; however, the Referral to Specialty Care…read moreprocess is totally unacceptable. I submitted a PxP portal request for specialty care on 5/19 after speaking with my physician. On 5/28/26 I spoke with the Referral Department re: status of my and my husband's referral (submitted 5/18) and was advised they were "still processing referral requests from April, 2026 and my physician should have told me there would be a month delay". I asked how this was acceptable, given that once the referral processes there would then be an additional wait for scheduling with the specialist and my symptoms were impacting my ability to function. I was informed by the same employee that this has been a problem since COVID. She did "pull our referrals" and offered to process them the same day. This effort was appreciated; however, it is not a sustainable process -- and many patients would not know to call and make such a request--not to mention Referral Staff can't process requests when they are needing to answer questions of this nature. Perhaps a weekend "stand down" to resolve the backlog or hire temp. clerks to get caught up is in order. Definitely considering changing providers due to this and other administrative delays that have been a problem for my family.

I was not asked if it was okay that they were joining like I have been at every other visit where a student is present. The horrifying part was when without permission or even asking me, my Dr allowed the student to preform my exam which was painful and uncomfortable as the student definitely did not know what they were doing. Next Dr Bathske, was rude, judgemental, and unprofessional with the visit as well. Definitely not qualities you look for in a doctor. Only gave one star because the nurses are always lovely and great.

UW Health itself -- the central brain of the operation -- is pretty messed up. Billing is an ongoing nightmare. Bills arrive with 5 days until the due date (not enough time to get a bank bill pay check delivered even if I submit it the moment I get the bill), and UW Health refuses to correct this. Even after paying the full amount due, the next month I get another bill for the same services, with no good explanation for why this isn't all billed at once. I've tried to resolve this numerous times, and receive unhelpful answers from someone at UW Health in Madison (so, not a Portage clinic employee) who clearly doesn't care. The portal that they use to communicate with patients (MyChart) is pretty clunky and frustrating to use. I once asked if a certain setting could be changed (for email notifications) and was told by UW Health that there is no such feature built into the software. I contacted Epic (the maker of the software) directly and was told that there was such a feature but UW Health hadn't turned it on. So again, my concern was ignored.
