I am new to the Winneshiek Medical Center. Being somewhat of a typical male, I don't volunteer…read moremyself to medical services all that often, but now that I am in my 60's, I felt it might be a good idea. No symptoms of anything, but just a physical. I saw Dr Goodner at the clinic and we were soon chatting as if we had known each other for a long time. He made me feel as if I could ask any question and he would give me an answer, which he did. He also made me feel as if he had set aside plenty of time for me and any concerns or needs I might have. My physical turned out fine. He removed a skin tag for me and it was easy and painless. I was soon on my way. He did encourage me to get a colonoscopy---something I was not crazy about, but with my confidence in Dr Goodner, I figured I may as well do the procedure and soon an appointment was set up in the outpatient center of the hospital. I had 2 weeks to fret and dread the procedure, but I was determined to follow through. The day before the colonoscopy arrived. I drank the liquid laxative (dishwater, I think) as I was supposed to do and thought hard about what I was about to face. My wife took me to the Center at the appointed time. I was nervous, but did not want it to show. It wasn't long and I was in a hospital gown, and answering questions. An IV was started and it wasn't long and I was in the procedure room with Dr Davis. Holy cow....I was looking at the clock and it was about 10 seconds and I was taking a nap and awoke just as I was pushed back into the room from where I came. I was talking within a minute and it was less than a half hour and I was getting dressed and signed out. My wife drove me home and we spent the rest of the day doing 'normal' stuff. It was just that easy. These people are professional, but just as important, these people are nice. My fears faded and I found myself placing my trust in them. My report was good and I can go 10 more years before this exam is repeated, but I have no doubt I will look back and remember how nice the whole crew was to me today. On a bit of a side note.......PLEASE, don't put off a colonoscopy. I was lucky and blessed today with a good report, but not everyone will be that fortunate. And, as we all know, cancer caught early is perhaps a life saved.

They want you to donate to them and then they treat you like dirt for something that was not your fault. Also their "sales" are the worst I have seen at Goodwill.
