    Thank you very much to the team of the clinic! My wife even…read morecould not sleep the night before the visit, but coming here felt like she was in our favorite family, with our own people. The most challenging thing was to endure the painful injections of anesthetic first. All the staff: Cindy, Mary, Chuck, treated her with extraordinary, sincere and touching care and attention, trying not to hurt her. And Cindy also called us the next day to check on my wife`s well-being reminding of the home treatment. Thank you the whole team so much from the bottom of our heart again for your kindness and professionalism! You are the best!

    Overall this office performed my biopsy well. Beyond that they have been so horrible I could not…read moregive them more than just one star. I would not recommend this business. They have shown contempt and disregard for me as a patient, customer and a person. I was referred to this office by my dentist who detected potential cancer concerns on my tongue. They sent me to this office and instructed me to take my medical insurance. Upon arriving at the West River office I was told they do not take medical insurance (even though a biopsy falls under a medical procedure). When I asked for clarification on why I was instructed to bring my insurance card to them, the receptionist sternly said "If you don't want to pay, you can leave." They choose to not work with medical insurance. For - what I gather - no other reason than laziness. I did pay in cash that day. That's what you do when the concern of cancer is lofted at you. 10 months later I received a phone call from Indiana University (IU). They did the lab work on my biopsy sample. But failed to send me a bill. IU blames West River for a minimal error in my address, and West River blames IU. West River did submit their work to my insurance company (a small outfit you may not have heard of - Blue Cross Blue Shield), but refused to recognize that IU was out of my network. West River did no due diligence to work with my insurance and send the lab work to somewhere in my network (they choose to ignore the many labs in the state of SD in favor of somewhere states away). They gave me not option or notice that they chose to use an out-of-network lab. To recap: They would not take health insurance (despite attempting to make a claim -- is that fraud?) They would not do due diligence to work within my insurance's network. They gave me no notification that they were contracting out this work and that I would have additional financial responsibilities. They gave IU my address incorrectly (according to IU) and I didn't receive bills or notice for over 10 months. They took my money (rudely and without compassion) and demonstrated no concern for the additional challenges they created for me. In fact they seemed inconvenienced that I would even bother to investigate these business practices. In as much as possible, do not give West River any of your business. I will update if West River decides to take any responsibility or actions to care for this customer.
