She is incredibly knowledgeable and very personable. She has such a good way with children. She always takes plenty of time at our children's routine checkups; we never feel rushed. But perhaps the best example I have is when I gave birth to my son. She voluntarily came to the hospital after he was born, even though she was on vacation, to do his first check-up. I was incredibly touched. I never seen somebody who was so clearly born to be a pediatrician. I cannot recommend Barb more highly!

Brand new patient here! After my first visit with Dr. Schwenn, I was sold on her and her practice…read more walking into the office was great. there were lots of little kids toys, a kids adjustment table, and a room for nursing moms to use. It made me feel right at home! The visit itself was amazing. Dr. Schwenn did an amazing work up with x-rays (more than I've seen any chiropractor do), a weight bearing test to see how your alignment was, and a test for spinal inflammation to see exactly how your body is positioned. I liked the extensiveness of her work on me. She actually found some arthritis in my neck and upper back that no one else had mentioned before. The adjustment was awesome as well. Before I went to Dr Schwenn, I thought I was a hard person to adjust because it always took it insane amount of pressure from other chiropractors to get my spine to move. Dr Schwenn uses brain, not bran to get the results that we need. at one point she was working on my lower back/tailbone area she used an adjustment table that fell down underneath my stomach. It felt like she was barely doing anything and I thought it wasn't going to work, but after she was done I started to relief feel the effect of what she had done. it was so weird, she got results that I wasn't expecting her to get. She does really good work. Note for people on Medicaid: she takes it, so if you're having pain, come here!

I honestly don't know what I would've done without the people from Hospice House helping me and my…read morefamily with my Mom's last days. Not only did they make her comfortable and treat her with respect but they made sure I had everything I needed to be her caregiver as well. The home hospice nurses were amazing. Whether I was calling in the middle of the afternoon needing a hospital bed delivered before the end of the day or in the middle of the night needing someone to come over right away, they were there asap. At 5 on a Friday I called needing immediate help and they were there 20 minutes later, and even apologized for taking so long! These aren't first responders, these are nurses (I ended up calling the fire department a few minutes later and they took 15 mins to arrive). When it came time to move my Mom to the Hospice House they handled the trip quickly and made sure she was comfortable the whole time even though she couldn't let them know how she was feeling. I called at 9 on Saturday morning asking to move her and she had been settled into her room by 11 that morning. I was very impressed. Five out of five "stars" just doesn't seem like enough for Hospice House. The people are by far the most amazing part of this organization, but the Hospice House itself is incredible as well. Hospice House of Mercy has both home and inpatient hospice options for their patients. The home nurses visit patients once a week (or more, it's up to the patient) and report back to the hospice medical team as well as the patients physician. They also offer home visits from the social worker, chaplain, home health aide, and volunteers. The home health aides can help with bathing and other personal tasks a patient may need help with. The volunteers can do anything from delivering prescriptions to doing the laundry to just sitting with a patient while the care giver is away. The staff at the Hospice House is equally as impressive as the home health staff. Everyone from the janitor to the medical director was thoughtful and asked if they could do anything for us every time they came into the room. One of the nice things about Hospice House is that they don't bug the patients every hour for vitals and such or have a bunch of machines hooked up and beeping like they do at hospitals. It's on the patients schedule, it's quiet, and that makes for a very comfortable and relaxed stay, which is incredibly important when you're in hospice care. The actual Hospice House building is gorgeous. It's about five years old, I would've guessed it was brand new. They have 12 rooms available for patients. Each room is private, very good size room and bathroom, private outdoor patio that the bed and recliner can be rolled onto, sleeper sofa for guests, and dining table with chairs. There is a library with plenty of books to choose from and a computer with internet access, a chapel, huge kitchen with any gadget you could need to cook up a dinner for your loved one or family, guest shower and laundry room, a couple sitting areas, and a few play rooms for kids. In the center of this beautifully appointed building (it looks more like a hotel than a hospital) is an elegantly landscaped courtyard complete with a gentle waterfall in the center. A couple benches and chairs around the walkway make it a serene place to talk, make a phone call, or just sit and enjoy the weather. This was my first experience with hospice and I was very pleasantly surprised. You never want to be in a position where you or someone you love will need hospice care, but if you do, this is the place you want to be. I can't say how grateful I am for their support, care, knowledge, and respect throughout a difficult time.

I saw Rene the grief counselor who was very cold hearted and she was not a good listner. Rene asked me why I was crying and I told her I lost some loved ones close together. Rene, said, which one was your favorite? She told me people die and that is how it is! Rene tried to ditch me to a support group for other people who lost their loved ones too. Rene asked me, so you don't need to see me again? Right? I felt that she didn't care or take any time to meet me again. I was heart broken of the death of my loved ones and she didn't want to help me! Rene lacks compassion and empathy! I was so disappointed! I give this grief counselor a 0!

⁩ ⁩…read moreI am very angry with the exam Dr. Mathew did on me. He failed as a doctor for a Veteran who needed him. It all started when he decided to do my Traumatic Brain Injury exam the day the Derecho hit Cedar Rapids, 10/10/2020. It was a horrible mistake I would have to pay for the next 2 years. The hospital sustained $400,000 damage and had no power, yet he did my exam with a clip board. Failing to write down nearly all my symptoms, obviously distracted from the days events. He is a paid doctor who does veteran C&P exams, a huge conflict of interest for any veteran from the start, yet alone add 140mphs winds to the mix. He failed to list a single residual I had from over a hundred documented blast injuries. I gave him everything listed on a single piece of paper and he failed as a doctor to list even a single one. He single handedly railroaded my entire health care from that point on. Fast forward 2 years to present time. I have been have had multiple seizures & have broken multiple teeth during these seizures. I have no dental insurance because of his pathetic exam. So I am forced to deal with the pain of broken teeth and swollen gums. I was forced to pay $4800 out of my own pocket to fix my teeth, when it is clearly a military injury. But because of his pathetic exam & because the VBA (Veterans Benefit Administration, or my new acronym Veterans Below Average ) accepts every form of evidence to deny veterans claims. The VBA jumped all over his exam and granted me $133 a month because the exam was inadequate. Dr Mathew and the VBA should be embarrassed of themselves. This is why so many veterans kill themselves. I hope you are proud Dr. Mathew as you provided absolutely no rational for your decision, admitted fault in multiple emails, but nevertheless accepted his money from the VA to give me a exam that has ruined my life and has never made a attempt to fix it. I have more than 3000 explosions/blast concussions in my record and you did not list anything, or probably even read my file. * Absolutely pathetic at any level of care, yet alone a nationaly recognized hospital like St. Luke's* Thanks Dr. Mathew for not fixing your exam in two freaking years or efter clearly aknowledging you did something wrong. Your a piece of work. I will be in contact with your Hospital Advocate now, you have had all the chances your getting from me you piece of crap. If you feel the need to fix the problem, or develope any empathy over the course of your life, I will consider removing this. Until then, I'm WARNING veterans about you! ** Again for the record, all VA people beware of this doctor & record everything at your apt. He does C&P exams for the military, not for you. It is a complete conflict of interest and you are not his interest, the paycheck is.
