Reviews

by Judy H. from Altoona, IA (2009-06-03 07:07:17.0)

My husband had a colonoscopy 2 years ago. Was treated on time and in a very dignified manner. The volunteers that took us to the location were great. This year he had x-rays, attempted an open MRI, the staff was very compassionate. Then he had back surgery and was admitted for 3 days. The volunteers in surgery waiting room were very good at keeping us informed. The medical staff were top notch, and the PT staff. We will choose Iowa Lutheran again if we have a need.
