***UPDATE*** I was seen today (06/23/2022) by Heather Levinson and by Kevin in RT. Wonderful experience from entering the door to when I was leaving. Cannot thank the staff enough for all they provide patients! Thank you! Had my first PT visit for the vertigo and neuritis I am experiencing, and Chelsey Bohr was amazing! Very knowledgeable, compassionate, and personable. Highly recommend! :) All PT staff at WMC are epic BTW!

I felt compelled to leave my opinion about the Physical Therapy department. Unfortunately, I broke my shoulder in 3 places in December. I have been working with Stacey ever since. Stacey and the entire department have been nothing short of Great. Stacey is so knowledgable and I trust her very much. So grateful I was paired with her. She is professional, knowledgeable and human at the same time. Good work Stacey Q!

Incompetent. I called to speak with a nurse, because my daughter was starting to show new symptoms after her diagnosis, and on the paper it says if you have these new symptoms get help right away, so I called right away and they said oh it sounds like she's getting the flu. Like what?

I don't always give 5 Stars (see my dozens of reviews). But I feel I have no choice; the three visits I've made to the WMC ER (two for me, one for my wife) during the past two years have been perfect. So I give the Emergency Department 5 Stars. That goes for medical treatment AND administration AND compassion. Doctor Sandy Clayton, a former US Army officer, is awesome. My first ER visit was for a potentially life threatening condition, BTW.

They saved me. And the Vets hospital tried to order me down to Iowa City, an unnecessary three hour drive, and Dr. Clayton advocated for me so I could get help from this civilian hospital 10 minutes from home!

Winneshiek Medical Center and staff of Dr. Menke should be COMPLETELY ASHAMED of themselves! The lack of professionalism, compassion, attentiveness and overall morals is a disgrace to the medical field! People struggling often do not ask for help because they feel NO ONE cares and Dr Menke and his staff ARE EXACTLY WHY people don't ask for help! My mother has been a patient for several years and recently reached out 3 straight days for HELP following the sudden death of her child and received NO return call or help.

I took matters into my own hands and reached out and NO ONE from his office returned my call either! What type of human does not reach out to a grieving mother when she is begging for help? Dr Menke and his staff are who! I hope NO ONE ever has to experience the pain and suffering that my mother has with losing not 1 child but 2 and receiving NO HELP from their medical provider!

I highly recommend that this facility REMOVE the word Mayo clinic from their Google description. This is very deceptive & ethically irresponsible given my multiple negative encounters here. This business does NOT resemble any Mayo experience I've encountered & I currently actively utilize 4 different Mayo campuses. The medical care teams here in the clinic & ER have been excellent & I whole-heartedly give those people five stars. However, I can no longer trust a hospital administration & business that does not actively work to put the needs of vulnerable patients FIRST.
