20 Best Surgical Tech Programs In Des Moines, IA (2022 Updated)

Extremely odd layout for lots compared to all other land-grant universities I’ve had the opportunity to visit. Parking lots are all across main public roads, which is inconvenient. Professors are decent, with a major inconvenience of not being allowed to write their own material for classes (especially the mathematics departments, they are all forced to use the same program and note guides for everything). This is paired with the university not wanting to have multiple exams, so they lump mathematics exams all together for a subject into the wee hours of the morning, before all other classes. Obviously this has a negative result on performance for all the classes, but they saved money not changing the numbers 5 times! Also, be warned that the advisors are not there to help you, but seemingly to lock you into paying for classes regardless of whether you want them or not. There are holds for the next semester that are automatically placed on your account after the withdraw with refund date for a semester has passed, so that if you want to drop a class later on, you need to get the hold removed (even though it’s for a later semester). I have yet to hear of an advisor that will do this without trying to insist that you meet with them during office hours, even if you clearly state that you know what you’re doing and you just need the hold removed. Just for comparison, the community college I earned my AA degree at had advisors that were available to assist you, but they did not place advising holds on your account, and you could add/drop classes on your own. The professors also got to write their own note guides and exams, which was highly beneficial to learning, largely because that meant you got to take exams during normal class times, and not 6:30 in the morning. The Brookings area also has a disappointing lack of attractions to keep you busy, the city owns the only liquor store, and the cost of living here is fairly high. All in all, if what you’re majoring in is only available here, then suffer through it, be aware of these traps that exist, and get out the other side. If it’s available somewhere else, take your money and your sanity there instead.Eli Ronkainen (Bob Dylan)

One of the better looking universities in the area, but recently it's gotten more expensive, the great professors have left or only teach 1-2 classes a year because of finding issues and out of classroom experience is tough. Honestly, I would only go here for an ag-degree. The others (art, comp sci, engineering, math, etc) fall short and nursing is very cutthroat (2 years of classes and you get one B means your not accepted). Engineering professors care, but experience outside the classroom is vital and its tough to get an internship or full time job outside Brookings without a connection. The only place to work is Daktranics but they aren't student friendly I've found year to year, classroom material differs, not covering necessary sections or professors hurry through concepts or examples to finish in time and expect you to fill in the gaps. Graduating in 4 years is tough, even 5 is hard with 16 credit semesters and summer classes. There also aren't enough quiet places to study. The library isn't big enough and don't have power outlets everywhere, voices echo in the dorms, classrooms are locked at night and weekends so you have to call campus police to let you in, coffee shops and the common areas don't have big enough tables to actually study; so good luck. Another thing is the lack of parking and car pooling into campus if you live off, the "required" dining plans the first two years where one meal costs $7-12 but you're only allotted $10 a day, the random closures at the gym, few jobs are available for students but tuition is high enough that you need 20-25 hours a week to afford next semester after government and school loans. Overall, it's decent looking school in the area, but there are some serious issues and I would have looked elsewhere if I knew these problemsBen Petersen

A terrible university, don't ever think of coming here, you will hate yourself. This university is like a trap once you enter you will be a hostage, they will tell you come we are affordable, and you think it is nice 4 year, it is NOT you will never graduate less the 7 year speaking of most degrees. Save your money and don't come here they will suck the last piny you have and you will be in a big debt stay a way from this garbage.james lordian

Writing a review for UNMC is an emotional task for me because they have been there for my mom and family through life, sickness, recovery, health, and even death. In all they've been there for they did right, without judgement or bias, and with care, hope, and support. I live in Kansas, but I know this hospital and all the towers better than some streets near my home. I've interacted with many specialty doctors, nurses, techs, housekeeping staff, ER, security team members, and so many others. We've experienced teams in Kidney Transplant, Wound Care, Cardiovascular, Cardiology, Ophthalmology, ENT, Derm, Cancer Center, and the Comfort Care Team. I can tell you that these teams are here because they love what they do. If you're considering UNMC as a new place to care for your needs I would do so without hesitation. When my mom moved they were so helpful in her transition to Kansas. Without them we'd be lost. We will miss each of her teams, their knowledge, and their care. It was so hard to leave.Tam E

Very disappointed in care provided. Nursing seems sorely under staffed. Although they frequently have cell phone in hand. Communication between staff (doctors and nursing staff)is lacking. Communication of providers and patients is insufficient. Facility is dirty dusty and run down. And should we talk about HIPPA….nothing to talk about….it doesn't exist there. Hep locks do not get flushed even after several days….negligent much? Showers/bed baths not offered to patient even after 3 days in-house. Are they trying for some nosocomial infections?S B

Today I went to Nebraska medical center and the eye clinic. The people that are very friendly and nice it's clean has three levels. The doctor I seen seem very knowledgeable and was very concerned with my eye condition it was funny when we first pulled up and parked in the first row there was a broom next to the handicap sign made me laugh remind me of handicap which parking. Someone probably had clean snow off their car with the broom and left it there.Karen Beautiful

I appreciate Rasmussen University for having an abundance of resources and many professors and other staff members who demonstrate they want students to succeed. I especially have enjoyed being a peer educator, being privileged to work with Tammy Hopps who is an excellent supervisor and leader, and also being able to work with other peer educators who care for their peers as much as I do. I transferred from a local state college, which I considered sticking with to save money, but in reality, not much is saved when you compare the timeframe for graduation. At the state college it would take me an extra 2 whole years to receive my BSN, whereas at Rasmussen I save 2 years of time because of their second-degree BSN option. I am very pleased with the quality of technology – at the state school blackboard and other resources were slow and did not work as well on my cell phone, whereas with Rasmussen I can easily access everything I need from my phone when I'm on the go. It's inspiring to see so many single parents and married parents in school, some of which also work full time or part time like myself while completing their degree. Highly recommend!HappyNessa11:11& Family

I had such high hopes when enrolling at this school. However my experience hasn't been favorable at all. I am a current student and I was disappointed because even though I was able to enroll and start classes I really felt unsupported on this journey. I'm realizing Rasmussen may not be the school for me. I REALLY thought I would be supported and encouraged. I was made to feel that Rasmussen would be rooting for me through my academic journey. Instead I am bombarded with emails and calls telling me what I already know… I owe money. No calls or emails about how I can be helped to budget so that I can pay more toward the balance. I'm only being told: what I owe, to get the balance down to $500-$1000 and to take out loans; which will only put me in debt and it's too early to be taking out loans when I've been in school since September of 2021 and have 2 more years. Also this school doesn't cater to single parents, limited income and individuals that HAVE to work. This school ONLY has day classes for the nursing program and as I said before I HAVE to work full time.Sherria Clark

This morning I called the university for the North Orlando Campus for the Nursing program and spoke to the director of Nursing who was discusstingly rude on the phone. I called to get information, He had no patience and told me Not to proceed a career in Nursing because it was Not for me. This was a university that I was so excited to be a part of and be a graduate of Nursing. The director needs to be Fired because he is giving the university a bad reputation. To whom it may concern please take this review into consideration and hire a new director of Nursing for the program.Georgia Conde

Nice buildings, TERRIBLE instructors, especially in their medical-focused science programs. Instructors changing assignments, deleting submitted work, and failing entire sections of classes.. Instructors that play the "gotcha" game, attempting to fail and trick you on material and assignments, as opposed to trying to teach. Have professors ripping material directly from other programs and having you do it for assignments (other universities) that still has other universities logos all over it. Also, you're on your own, admin will not respond / is not on your side. I would spend my money and time elsewhere if AT ALL possible. Had an instructor claim they have the "best program in the state" and then fail to respond by email for about 3 months, and had to get Dean involved. Feels like I'm interacting with high school students for professors. I am from out of state and it turns out Iowa has basically no resources regarding escalating issues with professors – what they say goes and that's it, regardless of how inappropriate or unproductive. DO NOT trust your education to this program and these instructors.Rone Parent

Kirkwood is a fantastic school with high level talent. The college seems to view itself as a service to paying customers (a bafflingly rare delight), and offers courses that inspire good work and deep thinking. Kirkwood *far* exceeds any other educational institution I've attended. The admission process is transparent, the courses you're paying for are clearly outlined, the requirements of the course are made plain at the start of the term… man. I can't say enough nice things. And you know what? I never once had anyone correct me to say "Call me 'Doctor' ". That may not mean much to you, but it meant a hell of a lot to me. Do yourself a favor and go here for your first two years with an eye to transfer on, should that be your aim. You're not just getting more for your money. You're flat out getting more.Claiming Light

Least understanding faculty. Called 6 hours after my deadline to cancel a test that I paid $95 dollars to take. The program director for CE was rude and condescending stating that she would not refund my exam because I was simply 6 hours past the 24 hour deadline. This school is clearly just out to rob people of their money and it’s sickening. I’ve had nothing but a bad experience and it’s crazy to me because at one point I was so excited to attend. Hope they’re happy turning a profit once again whether big or small.Dreya Bauldry

When I first started signing up for my MBA I advised them that I had just graduated with my bachelors degree. My goal was to start August 5, and I submitted all my necessary paperwork and cooperated as such. When it got to my transcripts I was advised I could not start because the conferral date was not on the transcripts. The enrollment specialist told me to reach out to my previous school. I did and it was a hassle. I called the enrollment specialist at Capella to advise of the updates to only find out that Capella’s registrar team had already been in contact with my school. I wanted to start on the 5th as it was very discouraging to go through the process to be turned away at last minute. 1). Total waist of time as I took time out of my day to complete orientation and do what they advised of me. 2) I asked to speak with a supervisor who was very vague and could not provide the information needed. 3) I again called Capella to try and escalate the situation, but the manager never returned my call. I feel as if they had me sign up because they were the ones to get paid for each student to enroll and failed to educate me properly in the beginning, which is very misleading and discouraging. Since no one wanted to comply and take responsibility I will be escalating this to the BBB as this is not my fault and I should had been able to start in the promised time given and should have been educated properly.Tearra McCray

The worst university ever! They made me waste my time and my money from the first day, every time I communicated with them each counselor told me something different, and more than a month passed and I did not have an accurate answer on the status of my application, after a month a person from human resources let me know that I had to do my transcripts equivalency again on another website because the one I had already sent twice to them waiting for they review it (and that they themselves told me it was okay to do it that way) was not valid for them to take me into account to start the course this past October. 1- First time the transcripts were not encrypted, so they asked my to ask the institution they send it again but encrypted this time and I did it and sent it again. And after that they let me know that didn’t work for them. So I wasted my time, my money and above all the opportunity to start on the desired date. A very bad job of the staff. Very bad communication with the students who want to start there, and they also contradict each other. They all say different things and waste your time. They are also very rude. I hope that no one has this bad experience, nor misses the opportunity to start the course on the date they planned, and due to the horrible work of other people you lose opportunities in life.Claudia Espinosa

From the beginning of my Master's level school search, Capella stood out. I had a great recommendation from a friend already, but in researching complete online programs to work with my schedule, Capella checked all of the boxes I needed. I had a wonderful experience with my admissions counselor and continue to have great interactions with all communication. I am happy with all faculty thus far and feel that I am learning exactly what I need for my future as a school counselor. The course load is what I expected it to be and the time I spend on classwork is time well spent. I feel very confident that I will be prepared to enter the field of school counseling when I graduate. The very first thing Capella does once you are enrolled is to start you in a class to help navigate your program and get you familiar with the online format. This helped immensely and calmed my nerves for entering into a graduate program online. I feel very well cared for and have not had a negative experience yet! I am 1 year into my program.Jenna Skophammer

I have traveled 426 miles round trip for all of my ortho work over a two year+ period of time. That's a pretty strong commitment. The patient care and each appointment was handled perfectly. Each member of the team ensured that I felt welcomed, comfortable, informed and taken care of. Adult orthodontia is not an easy undertaking, and I really had no idea what I was getting into. The entire team made the experience very positive. I truly looked forward to each visit. The quality of the work done, in my opinion, was top notch. My ortho visits were coordinated with two of the dentists, Dr. Southard for all ortho work, and Dr. Vargas for all other work. They partnered together for a wholistic solution. Since I traveled such a great distance, they ensured that my appointments were timed so I saw both dentists at the same time. They consulted between my visits to ensure that progress was in line with what they expected. I highly recommend their services. Update – forgot to include that their pricing is very reasonable. I had coverage from two different insurance companies over the course of my treatment, and their office was very easy to work with. Explained everything, submitted all claim forms and ensured that I got the best coverage possible.Susan Jayne

I received filling here, I had been feeling bad about the tooth everyday after the filling, then the tooth died. However, the customer representative lady insisted saying it’s not related to the service and rejected to pay for the cost. She only offered me free extraction, and I was even charged of the dead tooth evaluation. The dentist wasn’t even actively reaching out back to me, I felt like just discarded like trash. And I went to endodontist since I didn’t trust the college of dentistry anymore, then I was charged $300 more. I want to talk to the top manger about it. Why nobody cares about student’s benefits? Is it okay to transfer all the risk to students? And is it okay to tell students “this happens, you just need to move on”?Xinyu Tu

I had a really good experience with the oral surgeon during my consult, but less than 24 hours before my surgery, I received an email that I needed to pay $900. There was no due date or any other information about the bill, so I called the billing office and spoke with someone about when it needed to be paid and asked if insurance was going to cover any of it. I was quite upset, so I made a concerted effort to remain calm when I called the billing office, but the woman I spoke to was so rude that I hung up. I ended up having to cancel my appointment because I am a student and I cannot pay a thousand dollars with less than 24 hours' notice.Jaeda Wilson

I ended up backing out of the enrollment process. After sending my transcripts and FAFSA info. I asked what would be the cost for the classes. I could not get a straight answer from anyone. " We won't know until you are accepted … and enrollenrolled. And to be accepted you must complete the student loan applications process." I made it clear from Day 1 I was not taking out student loans. And wanted to pay out of pocket…. So they could have saved me a bunch of time by saying we won't accept you without loans. And I would have walked away. Even on my final email I sent to them say I was no longer interested because I found a local University that was cheaper and way more helpful the reply I got back was…. " well if you are still against taking out loans….hope that school is a better fit for you..".Jaime Seda

This school lacks communication so bad I do not recommend this School to anybody if you would further have questions later on down the road you’re better off joining another school. It’s all nothing but stress since I began the school. And they don’t make situations any easier. Also the professors are mean as hell! They don’t teach you anything. They write out what you’re supposed to do every week and grade and give feedback. That’s it! You have to literally teach yourself with research articles and your text book. And when you do receive feedback from them on an assignment, and you had some errors, instead of teaching us our wrong doings they decide to give you zeros and be rude when leaving feedback. I can’t wait to graduate because this school is nothing but BS!H D

Bellevue University is an outstanding educational experience with top notch staff and professors. I graduated in 2005 and the education I received at Bellevue impacted my career in a positive manner. I have since returned to work on my Masters. The curriculum is up-to-date and reflective of the real world. Rewards in life come with hard work and dedication. I read the comments made and was surprised by the negative ones. However, I served my country for 30 years to protect the rights of folks to practice free speech. In exercising that right, I would like to say well done Bellevue University, you are making a positive impact on professional and personal goals of thousands. James S.James S

A very heart warming experience, I had open Heart surgery on July 1,2011. Between Dr. W. Miranda and Dr. J. Dearani they saved my life, That’s how I and my Family feel. Mayo Clinic it self is full of Caring, loving and respectful people. Thank You All for ALL the hard work you do to help 💜 all of usFlorinda Martinez

We have delivered two babies at Houston Methodist, and we could not imagine going anywhere else to have a child. The professionalism, expertise, and overall great attitudes demonstrated by the staff here is second to none. Our L&D nurses and techs were all amazing and every single one of them went that extra mile for us to make us feel more at ease and comfortable throughout our time here. They paid attention to the details and treated us like we were part of their family. The NICU nurses showed their dedication and compassion for my son and all of their patients. I never felt worried when I would have to leave my son solely in their care because I knew they had everything under control. Every single doctor my family had shined and really showed their level of dedication they have to their craft. They never spoke down to us or hid anything from us, and they were honest, personable, and compassionate in every interaction we had with them. Even the staff we encountered in the cafeteria, health and nutrition, housekeeping, and administration all treated us we the greatest attitude. You could tell that throughout the hospital the staff had great relationships with their patients, visitors, and with each other. I don’t think you could ask for much more than that from a hospital staff. I will always be grateful for this experience they helped provide and will forever feel comfortable bringing my family here, if needed. Thank you to the staff of Houston Methodist.Macon Fife

This place is horrible. Dr. Boom needs to bring in a new staff. The people he has working under him start from the environmental director. The people from H.R. This place loves cover-up things. My Patient Right, we're violated by a Psycho staff member. I called to report it back in August. I was told by the assistant director from environmental service that she will be getting back to me about this issue. It's 9/28/22. I'm still waiting. What really got me? I explained to her what happened; she tells me well, "What do you want me to do about it?" I even emailed her boss; he never replied back. I've called H.R. Many times, left messages . I spoke to the head person of H.R. it was a waste of time as well. This place is sick. I'm sure I will get a reply back after they see this review. I think I need to contact the news people 🤔 l need to let them know about this hospital who really don't have ICARE Value.tara gordon

This Hospital required me to leave the room at 8:00 pm where my daughter has been in induced labor since last night. They allowed her husband to stay with her but I am sitting in a cold waiting room at 11:00 pm instead of being with my only daughter while she is in labor with her fifth child. I don't want to leave her here as anything could happen with her and the baby. In the room was a nice comfortable recliner and a sofa where I could have rested after driving more than 200 miles to be here with her. I don't call this hospitality or family friendly. On the other hand I thought the staff was very professional and courteous and helpful in every way.Kathy Reneau Gomez

Came to the school for a conference. It was very comfortable, spacious, and while there was a ton of construction which made finding the place challenging. There was lots of parking, but we were also here at 7am on a weekend. I was surprised there were minimal electrical plugs in the classroom but for our purpose that wasn’t a big problem.Big Traveler

I would recommend this school for a professional career change. I had a busy work life, working overnight and coming to class straight after work. All the staff, from the teachers, to the administrators, to career services are all helpful, knowledgeable & understanding. They encourage you and help you with whatever needs you have with a smile. My externship was incredible, the site was close to my home and the staff was spectacular & helpful. I learned so much and applied that to my externship experience. I already have job offerings and I just finished. I'm so excited and proud of myself! I'm a Registered Dental AssistantChristal Ferguson

I would not recommend this school, thier staffing issues caused several months delay in my admissions and when I called to check on my paperwork it was lost by an employee who was no longer working there. The new admissions lady was rude and when I spoke to Demecas Banks the head of admissions she was supposed to correct the issues caused by her employee but instead made things worse and than refused to admit me based on her personal feelings and bias. I would give this school no stars if it's allowedBrian Parker

I went here to get my medical assistant certificate. It was all I expected and more. Everything from financial aide to the instructors were helpful and i feel like i got what i paid for. Also it was cheaper than other schools (i compared a few). If your interested in getting certified as a MA definitely consider this school. I have referred a friend who went and graduated the dental program as well as my daughter who is a current student. If your looking and you landed here look no further.astra kizzie

This is my 1st time visiting an orthopedic doctor. I went for arthritis in my knees and some knee pain. An X-ray was done initially and Dr. Mahoney came in and talked to me about it and gave me a couple suggestions before thinking about surgery.. I did ask him about side effects and he said there really aren't any. But the next morning I had a headache for most of the day so I googled side effects. Having a headache was one side effect as well as a few others. But after discussion about the various treatments, I opted for injections in both knees and I'm very happy with it. There is so much difference from when I went into the doctor until even a few hours after I had my injection. So far so happy.C

I saw Dr Mahony recently and after a year of dealing with knee pain, he gave me lots of hope. There are several avenues to remedy my problem without surgery! Dr. Mahoney took the time to hear about my issues in a relaxed manner. I felt very comfortable with him and look forward to the healing process. Thank you so much, Dr. Mahoney!Carol Streed

Staff was efficient and courteous. Was nervous to transfer care to Dr. Mahoney after moving away from a good surgeon that I trusted. He made me feel at ease and clearly understood my condition and history. With most services being located in one building it also makes coordinating appointments very convenient.kenziep1223

From the moment I walked in and was greeted by Misty, I knew this office was going to be amazing. Misty answered all my questions prior to my consultation and put my mind at ease. Erin, the nurse I had most of the time, explained everything to me and addressed all of my questions and concerns. She was honest in giving her opinion and made me feel empowered in making the final decision for my implant size. Dr. Robbins is so professional and easy to talk to. He gave me his honest medical opinion and was so understanding in my reasoning for wanting plastic surgery (breast augmentation/tummy tuck). My surgery and recovery went really well. Honestly, my results blew me away! I couldn’t be more happy! His skillful hands have helped me get my confidence back. If you are even remotely considering plastic surgery, he is your guy. I won’t recommend anyone I know to anyone other than him. I am forever grateful to Dr. Robbins and his amazing team for all they did for me!Lindsey Poutre

Had abdominalplasty and posterior body lift. 6 months apart. Dr Robbins and his staff are the best! He’s so kind and understanding. After this last surgery I have some areas of concern and he is more than willing to fix the problem. I go back in a couple months to look at me again and then schedule the lypo revision. Dr Robbins is definitely the best surgeon I’ve ever had! His staff is the best. I can’t say enough good things about them. Always willing to answer your questions and always gets back to you quickly. I have and will continue to recommend him. He’s also quadruple board certified.Aiden Vasquez

If you or anyone you know is considering plastic surgery of any kind, or for any reason Dr. Robbins is the best in Iowa. I recently got a breast lift due to weight loss and I am feeling amazing only one week post op. The entire nursing staff was absolutely amazing with answering all my questions during my pre op, consultation, and after surgery. My healing is looking amazing for it only being a month later. Highly highly recommend Dr. Robbins and his team! They gave me my confidence back and the entire process was easy and nothing like I imagined thanks to their great work!Mia Ellis

I wasn’t sure what to think about Rasmussen because I’ve heard mixed reviews from my coworkers. I was pleasantly surprised to find out this is the college to go to school if you’re a parent wanting to be a nurse. I am married and have three kids under 8 years old and I work in the hospital full time, and I’m succeeding. From my fellow coworkers, I KNOW this is the fastest program to get your nursing degree. I love my professors. I absolutely love the diversity of my professors and fellow students. I know that some have complained about the professors intelligence level. My professors are all very educated. Sometimes if English isn’t the first language, anybody would speak a little slower. This gives you an education you wouldn’t get anywhere else because you’re learning from people who are different than you but usually more intelligent as they had to work harder to get their degree because English was not their first language! Or at least equally as intelligent. People also on occasion complain about the price. I have done the math and at the speed I’m completing my degree, I will have saved more because I’ll have the degree at least a year prior to my fellow coworkers going to more affordable schools I also had Sara Packard as my advisor and she was phenomenal. She almost always replied back to my emails within an hour, and I asked A LOT of questions. Without Sara, I would have never been able to start up as quickly as possible without her quick start worksheet list of things I needed to complete. Thank you so much Rasmussen!Amber Broring

This is my second week at Rasmussen. It is challenging, but no school is easy. So far, the best thing I have encountered at this school is the support that the school incorporates together to help the students. My admission went well because I got a lot of help from my admission advisor, Brittany. She kept me alert and on track throughout the entire process. I strongly agree to listen to her advice if you plan to get your admission process completed on time. Another thing I'm pleased to have is Personal Support Center. Just like Brittany and the admission process, I got all my technical issues solved through Personal Support. Both of these two parties are well-hired for the job. You will like the support team here if you go to this school. Supports and admission definitely earn 5 stars.k yang

DO. NOT. GO. HERE. If I could give this school zero stars I would. The nursing administration and program is a joke. All they care about is swindling you out of money. They intentionally kept me from being able to retake an exam so I would have to retake a course again. Visit the BBB website and read for your self, the aren’t accredited by the BBB and they literally have a 1.19 rating out of 5 and after reading the filed complaints from other previous students it’s easy to see why. There are multiple classes that 40% of your grade is dependent on ATI exams, not the course content, so you can literally pass the class portion but still fail the course due to ATI. It’s a joke.Jaime H

Dr. Lin may have good surgical skills, but he seems to have terrible people skills. On my first appointment with Dr. Lin, he didn't enter the exam room until the last 15 minutes and then spoke with his physician assistants for the next 10 minutes, ignoring me. He really didn't say much to me during the last 5 minutes, other than to say I needed an MRI and I may not have an allergy to naproxen after all. The next 2 appointments, he didn't show up at all! He sent his PA in to talk with me, but it seemed like Dr. Lin himself really didn't want to speak with me for some reason. I have no idea why he's trying to ignore me and I think it is quite rude!Kevin Bretz

Seems like what could go wrong with my knee does. Dr Lin and his staff are excellent and wouldn’t ever choose a different Dr! I am not able to get an MRI due to back issues. Whenever I feel my body and knee aren’t right, he’s an excellent man to talk to trying to get the best solutions with minimal pain. Been seeing him since before 2008 and again wouldn’t have any other Dr!Kim Sapp

Dr.Lin and his PA have been extremely kind and comforting throughout my entire ACL tear journey. From the very start he has taken the time to answered any questions that I may have, get to know me personally, and crack jokes that leaves me laughing. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an orthopedic surgeon.Alea L

The experience we had visiting this Costco was definitely consistent with my experience of the store brand. That’s to say: well set up, well maintained and a very wide selection of quality food and household goods. The main reason I could tell this location apart from other Costco stores was the seasonally appropriate plants (lots of bulbs and roses!) and the separate venue for liquor and alcohol purchases. Extra shout out to the staff for keeping up with the blustery weather!Rebekah Zemansky

Costco fuel pumps most always have lines but are generally the cheapest source in town. The store tends to be busy as well. Some products have good prices, some are of higher quality and may be worth higher prices, and some are more expensive than in other stores. Most employees are friendly. One observation: If you're a minority and the person at the entrance is white, expect to be asked to show your membership card to be allowed inside.Bryan Welch

My all time favorite shopping 🛍 place. I am addicted on Costco 😁 every week I must go and buy something. Good quality products and cheaper prices compared with other stores. I use to buy milk and brown sugar here. They have fresh vegetables, meats, fishes and sausages. Collections of t shirts are here for springand summer. They are high quality and low prices.Philo

Thank goodness, I went to this campus over Iowa State University because I wasn't too sure which was better for doing my automotive classes, this or at Ames. But now, here I am doing my auto classes and experience in ease, it's convenient in terms of price and the majors I have, now that I did the smart thing, and kept the money in my pockets, I will lean forward towards the next 2 years, and ensure I get the education I need. Thanks again, DMACC. For changing my mind about big university and then leave, and going to you first then onto the big things. ☺☺🤗🤗🤗hatchcracker_570

Being a DMACC Commercial Horticulture grad in the mid80's changed my life. Work-study w/Jim Mason in the early years of Country Landscapes also put me in a position to be a Iowa Certified Nurseryman @I.S.U. for 25+ years. If I was a parent w/new student in any of the horticulture programs I would be thankful knowing he/she had the best there is as department head. He will change your life as well.Jim Schleier

Dr. Panwar & Dr. Singh will seriously leave you crying to be discharged. If you weren't crying when you were lead into your ER room you'll be crying trying to leave. The worst bed side manor I've ever recieved. I was actually crying by how cold and rude their approach of patient care is. Their assessment is that of a child playing "doctor." They don't even close your door and then proceed to talk so loudly about you with nurses outside your door, mocking the words you told them. The lab tech even apologized to me about how badly I was being treated by my nurse in her presence.. she said I'm so sorry they're treating you like that and closed my door in hopes to not hear them continue to discuss me outside my door and at the nurses station. She said the nurse didn't even administer the test correctly in my nose. She touched the outside of nostril and point of my nose for a covid test…Miranda Smith

Went to the ER and it was horrible! There was a dirty stained sheet on the bed and only ONE person sanitized their hands when coming in the room. The doctor ran unnecessary tests and completely disregarded my symptoms. 2 of the nurses were beyond rude when I refused a medication that will make me vomit. Absolutely terrible place. And don't bloody bother with that oh no so sorry about your experience bullcrap. No you're not. Do better.Bambi R

My husband and I preferred place out of anywhere we've been to before is the Waverly health center. We always go to Rolph memorial Daniel Darnold is our primary and he is amazing! Anytime I've had to have labs or anything else done all the ladies are always super nice. I would 100% recommend the Waverly health center to anyone!Raychel Ronnei

Do not order windows from this store. I will never get back the 4 plus hours of my life and stress that I just went through because of an incompetent employee that worked in the notebook department. Order the window and I only got a sash ash. So after going back-and-forth to the store about 4 different times up front to the customer service and no one back there working When I go there they can just keep it and give me my money back.. I feel especially bad for the customer service staff specifically Mallory. Mallory was very courteous patient and kind when dealing with my frustrations I respect her and she deserves more because of other employees who can't perform their job and she has to deal with it.Eric Doll

Lowes is such a joke. I brought in an ad from Bomgaars which has 20% off dewalt tools right now. I just wanted them to match the price of 2 tools I just bought. They told me I needed to get all the model numbers and show them online. So I just decided to return. Then they didn't have any cash (which is how I paid) so they had to go to the safe which took well over 20 minutes. And all this the lady at customer service was completely rude! Not just to me but every customer that came in while I was standing there waiting. The picture posted is her! Stay away if you don't want yelled at! I will never return to Lowe'sRyan N. Ludwig

This is a terrible place to order blinds. Order was placed for two windows that are together. One blind was made which measured over 6ft wide. Impossible to raise or lower blind because of weight.Three trips were made to store to talk to manager. Never could talk to her-always some one else. Installation is metered out to Atlas who is always unavailable to set appointment for installation. Over 20 calls were made to this company to schedule. This has been a total nightmare and I am left with a $600+ blind that I cannot raise or lower.Joy Laughner

I am so tired of going to Walmart and when I go to check out the entire store is packed full of customers but there is only two checkout lines if that meanwhile the self-checkouts are jam-packed lined full not very many machines that take cash and with all this happening you have employees closing down the scan and go lines while people are still continually pouring in the store and waiting in line! This is actually ridiculously absurd and unacceptable! We give people jobs for reasons! So let's quit relying on technology and put them to work instead of having them standing around doing nothing and or shutting down open checkout points when the store is still at capacity!Bruce Halbur

This is a nice Wal Mart. This review is for the automotive at this store. Wal Mart, home of low prices (until we pull up the sign with the roll back price on it after I pointed out the sign but "oh we are going to honor it since we didn't take it down") then I come back two hours later to pick up the vehicle and all is forgotten. Actually I don't think the guy running the register (who was also the guy who took down the sale/special sign) knew how to make the receipt reflect the sales offer. If you are going to post an offer train your staff how to honor it or just don't do it in the first place.The Big D

The store is nasty bathrooms are always gross employees at the self check out always on there phone never pay attention. I don't work there but I had to go and get the lady some bags cause the boy was so busy playing with his hair instead of doing his job. There another guy works there the only time his mask is up he on the phone no help. The manager on his phone instead of helping out he walk away and lines where getting longer and longer. The store is so bad. Rose would be better at running the store then anyone else at least she will make sure it looks a lot better.Vicki Boots
