Like it or not, routine health maintenance requirements catch up with us all. And while…read moreapprehensive about all that was involved in undergoing a colonoscopy, the IDDC managed my concerns, expectations, and the entire process expertly and professionally. The office was efficient and the intake, discharge, and subsequent follow up was without any issues. If you have the option to be referred here, the Iowa Disgestive Disease Center is worth considering as a provider of these important milestone exams.

I had a very frustrating experience with this office. My hematologist sent a referral for me to be…read moreseen, but instead of being contacted by the referral team, I received a MyChart message stating that I could not be accepted as a patient because I had previously been "seen" by another GI provider. The only prior interaction I had was a colonoscopy where the physician read the results -- I never had an office visit or established an ongoing provider relationship. When I called for clarification, I was told by the front desk that a colonoscopy counts as "establishing care" and that the practice does not do second opinions. This explanation should have come from the referral team or a clinical staff member, not the receptionist. The process felt dismissive and poorly handled, especially since the referral came from a specialist. A clearer explanation and more professional handling of referrals would go a long way in improving patient experience.

If I could, I would give Dr. He and all the staff negative 100 stars.

They are all liars & they Don't respect the bodies of their patients. And on top of that when I had an appointment with ARNP Columbia Ptacek, I stood in front of the receptionist for 2-3 minutes...she said just a minute & she was listening to & watching a non-work related video on her personal phone with her earbuds in. The ARNP never discussed all the results with me...just sent in an RX to the pharmacy for new medicine I had to take. I had to call them & find out what the new medicine was for. AND I was on the waiting list for 13 months just to get a colonoscopy...& then just to have it be the most hellish, nightmarish thing I've ever experienced in my life and when I was trying to speak up for myself and fight for my rights I was told by the doctor to be quiet.
