I met with Dr Samec today who will now be my physician. He was familiar with my med history which put me at ease. He spent what I felt was a great deal of time talking to me and asking questions. He was so very patient with me as I shared issues about my med history I wanted him to be aware of. Dr Samec is experienced, thoughtful and caring. Working closely with Dr Samec is PA Laurie Hughell. If you are seeking treatment for osteoporosis or rheumatoid arthritis, I recommend Dr Samec and Laurie Hughell. I have trusted my care to this office for 18 years. I rarely write reviews but if you are new to the area or looking for a new provider, I highly recommend this team. Mutual trust must be the bedrock of a good doctor/patient relationship.

It is my opinion, that Dr. Bennett and his assigned medical student Kerry LISTENED to my primary concerns and rendered professional advice with the intent to do additional research to help manage my issue. In addition, the clean, highly stylistic decor of the inner and outer offices was a place with secure surroundings that were very welcoming with a desk staff that was attentive and very professional. In addition, the Physical Therapy Department has a patient centered staff where most of the Physical Therapists are graduates of DMU. Lilly one of the PT staffers did an excellent job with intake information, listening to my concerns and making adjustments on a treatment plan. Thank you DMU for being patient centered in the heart of the neighborhood.

I called the office and was referred to Susan, who offered to walk me through the process over the phone. Still, I was not able to get access. Now, here is the very amazing thing. Sensing I was still frustrated, she offered to have me come in and she would help me step by step. I told her I'd be there in 10 minutes. She was actually waiting for me at the front desk when I arrived. This woman was incredible. She was so kind and patient and calm, which is exactly what I needed today. Susan was able to spot what the issue was, which allowed me to access my account. Problem solved. Susan didn't send me a link to click on or a toll free number to call. She just sat down and helped me. She didn't judge me. She didn't make excuses. She saw I had a problem and knew I needed her help. West Des Moines Ob/GYN is a world class medical practice of experienced doctors and nursing staff that has provided my medical care for over 20 years. I can't imagine going anywhere else. But, today, I needed Susan in billing.... and she really came through for me. I wish I could return the favor to her. If you are new to the area or if you are thinking about making a change, you will not find a better provider in central Iowa. And, for you ladies in Ankeny, they have a new location there.

How many women out there have heard the term "hymenal remnant"? Apparently, this is so common in…read morethe female anatomy that Dr. Nicole Davis decided not to share with me that mine was enlarged/irregular. Even though that was what I went in for - a growth coming out of my body that didn't feel right and wasn't always there. Not only did she not address it (again, the thing I literally went in for) but I think she just plain didn't see it. She instead minimized my concern and said I must be talking about something on the external part of my body, around my labia. I called the clinic 5 days later and spoke to Tina, who is the be-all-end-all at this clinic. She's the admin, the CFO, the CEO - aka, if you aren't happy with how she is treating you then too bad so sad. She continuously interrupted me and did NOT want to believe the patient; she offered zero resolution and zero compassion. I asked Tina to have Dr. Nicole Davis call me after she reviewed the photo I had to take of MY VAGINA and send it to them via the Klara app (something I never dreamed of having to do). They took no accountability for their lack of understanding what my concern was OR that during my exam, it was completely missed. They said I could come back for another exam and pay another copay, shocker. When Dr. Nicole Davis messaged me (even though I specifically asked for her to call me), I replied and asked her to confirm that she completely missed this. She replied stating "I may have seen it during your exam, but because it is a normal variation, I do not routinely discuss it with patients." Let me be very clear - this was only the SECOND time she had seen me. How is anything about our doctor/patient relationship routine?! I strongly recommend starting with Planned Parenthood to get treatment from those in the medical community who truly care about women. Then ask that physician who their OBGYN is, that's my plan. No way in hell am I coming back to this place. As if women don't deal with gaslighting enough in this world - I sure as shit don't need it from my OBGYN.

That is a special chair that stretches your spine. Before my appointment I had a consultation with Dr. Kory. He was very attentive explaining why decompression would work to alleviate my lower back pain, even taking x-rays and using them to explain why the treatment would work. But, I would need more than the 2 sessions I had purchased. He was very convincing and I bought a package that included 12 twenty-minute sessions, some supplements, and some specialized videos to follow at home to support the sessions. I went home with some appointments and the supplements. The videos didn't actually exist but I didn't think to ask about them right away. After six regular sessions and taking the supplements religiously, I didn't feel any relief. I asked Tanya (the front desk admin) how many sessions I needed before feeling relief. She said I should have felt it by then. When I said I had not felt a difference, she said Dr. Kory would meet with me at my next appointment. During that appointment he gave a me a tool that he had forgotten to give me when I started the treatment sessions that would help me build my core and demonstrated some exercises to stretch that would have been on the videos I never got that were supposed to be part of the package. He recommended I make 2 appointments a week and it should make a difference. I made the appointments and followed the plan as instructed. About 2 weeks later, I woke up with such terrible lower back pain that I could not stand upright. I called Dr. Kory to see what he recommended and if I could have an appointment. Tanya said he would call me when he got into the office. I didn't hear from him. I was still in pain the next day so I called back. I wanted to know what I should do to alleviate the pain. He had been treating me so I wanted him to help. Again, Tanya said he would call me when he got in. He did not. The end of that week was Thanksgiving. I spent the holiday in pain. The following week, I called his office again seeking help. I got the same response from his admin, no response from him. I went to my PCP who recommended I stop the decompression appointments until we determined the cause of the increased pain. I called Dr. Kory to see if I could get a refund for the remaining treatments or an alternate plan that could support whatever my doctor recommended. Same pattern - I called and spoke to Tanya, Dr. Kory never called me back. It was clear that he was not interested in my pain. He had sold an ineffective package (over $1200) and gotten paid, and my wellness was no longer of interest. It's been over three months since I had my last appointment and left countless messages asking for his help. According to Tanya, he attempted to call me once (after I told her I was going to leave a negative review and call the BBB) and he got a Google assistant and couldn't leave a voicemail. She relayed this message via my voicemail, which was puzzling that she could leave a voicemail but Dr. Kory could not. Chiropractors are all over the metro. Avoid this one.
