What our Patients Are Saying

  • These hips don’t lie! Dr Phillips did a great job! I’m two weeks post op and on track and can already see my freedom of movement returning. I can get in and out of my chair almost like a normal human! Thanks to all involved!

    I went to this clinic and the moment I walked in my wonderful experience started. The receptionist was just perfect in helpfulness, and in friendliness. I was taken to a room and the nurse was so polite and caring listening to me carefully. The PA came in, again, doing a careful exam and listening attentively to my predicament. He went checking for exrays, CT scans, and surgical notes. My wait time to see the Dr.was quick. He came in addressed my problem and gave me a solution I didn't think would happen. I am so glad I chose this location.

    Pat Blum Avatar Pat B.

    In on time. Really know their stuff and do an excellent job of explaining things in a very friendly relaxed manner. They did a wonderful job with my surgery a couple years ago. Really trust them.

  • Dr. Inda and his PA are great. I had Plantar fasciitis for 5 months and then stress a stress fracture on the top of my foot that is trying to heal. They showed me the X-rays, spent time answering my questions. Everyone I came in contact with was very pleasant. Thank you

    Deb Garcia Avatar Deb G.

    Dr. Phillips is very patient while addressing your concerns. He talks to you, not at you. Nice staff. Surgery in the future so no comments on that yet.

    With the exception of the patient registrar I would rate the visit a 10. Dr Otterberg was cordial and professional, as usual and I was in and out in an efficient amount of time. I had to greet the registrar who did not even look up at me and was very robotic in her manner as if she were too busy to bother with me. I would rate her a 3 and that's generous. I was a registrar before I retired and I would never treat a patient as she did.

  • Those helping me were very professional. Dr O'Malley was great, personable and kind. I trust him and his recommendations. This was my second visit. The first visit was the same except for the receptionist in the second window. I felt ignored while standing waiting for her to acknowledge me. And she was rude when she finally looked at me. So my first impression wasn't good but the rest of the visit went well.

    mary jackson Avatar mary j.

    Great staff, kind and caring. Felt I was heard and understood. Highly recommend. Explained everything thoroughly. I have been having severe back and leg pain for a long time and finally feel hopeful for relief and to be able to do the things I love to do and regain my quality of life.

    Diane Macrander Avatar Diane M.

    The nurse was superb. He was so happy and so cheerful. He really made my day better. Dr Miller was, as always, wonderful. Thank you all for a great visit.

  • I had my right SI joint fused by Dr. Gard in May. This was the best experience I've had at a hospital/clinic in a long time. Friendly, caring staff that listens and answers questions and concerns. Dr. Gard and his team are a great bunch. If I ever need another surgery they can do. I will definitely come to them first. I can't thank them enough.

    Tonja Mcneal Avatar Tonja M.

    Dr. Doran is an amazing physician, who clearly cares about his patients. His knowledge and experience is reassuring. His terrific bedside manner kept me at ease during a difficult time. His honesty is refreshing. He provided me with valuable information that allowed me to make an educated decision about how to proceed with my healthcare. I would, without hesitation, recommend him. I’m grateful for the care he provided.

    Sandra Mueller Avatar Sandra M.

    Dr. Phillips is a wonderful surgeon and an even better Doctor. He truly cares about his patients. He listens to our questions and made sure my wife and I understood everything. His whole surgical staff was wonderful as well. I would highly recommend Dr. Phillips for any medical needs you may have. Thanks Dr. Phillips. Hip Hip Hooray!

  • Everyone was so nice and respectful. Got in at scheduled time. Didn't have to wait to be seen. Is a excellent place. Would recommend the staff and doctors. Took care of all my needs and answered all questions and concerns.

    Rob Zach Avatar Rob Z.

    Was referred to MD West one from another clinic where I was seen for my hip. I was able to get in right away and was seen by PA Julie and Dr Doran . I really liked them both. Julie took time to listen to my complaints and found cause and the same for Dr Doran. I’ve been to several doctors to try to find the cause of my pain, Vein specialist and hip specialist but I think I may finally get the relief and solution to my issues. I would recommend them both

    Madelaine Adler Avatar Madelaine A.

    I loved this experience. Everyone was most professional, polite and friendly.. Dr. Gafney was wonderful. He was very thorough, determined the correct problem, and "fixed" it, much to my joy. Thank you all for a most enjoyable experience.

  • I was having mobility issues this day but they had wheelchairs available for my use. The check in staff was fabulous and made me feel welcome. Doctor wanted a new X-ray of my leg and that was done quickly and with care for my comfort. Dr Mantone spent time with me and showed concern about my current issues. Wonderful experience.

    Cathy Martinec Avatar Cathy M.

    I have rarely experienced the smooth and friendly service that I get at this medical office. Such a perfect balance between professionalism and personability! They are efficient, but I don’t feel like I’m a cog in a wheel. The doctor always has time to answer my questions. All around, a very comfortable, satisfying experience as a patient.

    Kindra Foster Avatar Kindra F.

    MD West One is amazing, I found out that I needed a new knee and have been getting injection here for year tell I'm ready to do surgery. Everyone is amazing at the offices, never had any issues getting in. Every interaction has been a pleasant one.

  • Jess has such a passion to help her patients that is hard to find in healthcare. I came to the realization today that I had given up. She alone reignited my passion to fight, reiterating what it is we’re fighting for and why. The fight is about me, my health and my quality of life, proving that I’m not alone in this fight. Thank you Jess, for being in this fight with me and for me till the end!

    TJ Mann Avatar TJ M.

    Best experience I've had in a long time concerning my spine issues I was born with. All of their staff from the front desk, radiology, nurse, PA, and the neurologist were very friendly, informative, and made sure all my questions were answered. I would recommend going if you have any issues with your back/spine.

    I have worked with Doctors Phillips, McMullen, Rosipal and Bowdino at various times for over 30 years. They have all been excellent in treating me with courteous staff, a variety of locations and good accessibility to getting appointments. Also their hospital on Farnam is wonderful.

  • Dr.Gaffney at MD West One is my favorite orthopedic doctor. He’s done a few surgeries on my wrists and is very empathetic and compassionate. He always listens and answers all my questions. He never makes me feel like an annoyance. His bedside manner is unmatched. I highly recommend Dr.Gaffney for shoulder, arm, hand care. The staff at MD West One is always friendly.

    D M Avatar D M.

    Dr McCarthy is amazing. He did my rotator cuff surgery 9 years ago and my bilateral carpal tunnel surgery before that. He takes his time to explain everything and asks questions about you. I was so happy that he is still practicing when I made my appointment for a ganglion cyst causing pain on my hand today, which he aspirated. Highly recommend!

    Lula West Avatar Lula W.

    Staff were friendly and very efficient. Dr. Ehlers listened to my concerns and communicated a logical plan for my care. He was pleasant and genuinely concerned about me. Fantastic experience all around.

    Linda Ziegler Avatar Linda Z.

    The professional staff didn’t make me feel rushed. They answered all of my questions which included questions l wouldn’t have thought to ask. I was told there are four different ways to perform what I needed and they told me it was my choice not the surgeon’s This is where I want to get my hip replaced.

    I was 10 minutes late and the Dr still seen me. Very professional. I'm a very busy party of time, especially during lunch. Update. Surgery was a breeze. Drs and nurses are awesome. The nurse who removed my stitches was fast. Glad to know the same service at this location as the one in West Dodge. Thanks everybody!!!
