I LOVE LOVE LOVE the staff at this clinic! They are so friendly and are always making sure they are helping you feel better. They aren't about rushing you in and out of physical therapy. They work with you and see you until you feel better and they remember their patients and remember our families from chatting about them during the visit. It is wonderful.

I have seen Dr. Swanson several times and have never been disappointed, he is caring and thorough. St Peter Rivers Edge is the most wonderful hospital I have been admitted to The facility is great and the staff cared about me as a person. Thanks to OFC and Rivers Edge for a wonderful experience with getting my 'new' knee.

My experience was great. Staff was very helpful and nice. Dr. Swanson was always easy to get ahold of if I needed anything or had any questions. He explained everything very well, so that I could understand what to expect in my surgery and recovery.

I see Doc Botker and his staff at the Windom Area Health Outpatient Clinic. They are always courtesous, helpful and caring. This is one Doc I don't mind waiting for. He's worth the wait and knows his profession inside and out! I wouldn't go to anyone else for my shoulders. I love my Doctor and his staff!
