UNIVERSITY OF IOWA HOSPITAL

I was a patient of Dr. Rippentrop when he was in Atlanta, Ga. He was always attentive and pleasant to his patients. He was my doctor for more than four years and he was very thorough to make sure he found out the correct diagnosis for what was going on with you. I was sad to see that he had left the practice, but I know that situations must change. It is wonderful to see that he is still continuing to practice medicine because he is a wonderful man who loves what he does and has a passion for people.

My anesthesia was great . surgeon was good too!

In my opinion, Dr. Gunderson is everything I could ever want in a doctor. He is personable, polite, and easy to talk to. He answered all my questions and listened to what I had to say. All my concerns were answered and everything was clearly explained. He reviewed and organized my results and records before my appointment. Blood tests were ordered and collected before my appointment and many results were available before I left the clinic. Everyone I met at UIHC was helpful and happy to help me find my way. I was very impressed with my first visit to UIHD.

I went for a consultation after moving to Des Moines. The reception desk people were so nice, the nurse was kind and the doctor was very complete in his exam and questions. While I will be staying with my current doctor, Dr Zu seems very good and compassionate.

Very pleased with Dr Xu. Well informed about the spinal cord stimulator and worked alongside the Boston Scientific team to educate me on the benefits of the implant. Trial and procedure both went well.

Iowa clinic keeps switching doctors and getting ones with less and less experience. My first appointment was a virtual one and right off the bat he wants to switch my meds that have been working for years. My family doctor who has been treating me for years doesn't understand why when my meds were working he wants to change them. He is the first pain doctor to keep saying while he was giving me shots, your hardware is in the way! He also gave me trigger point shot in my shoulders and this is the first time I have been sorer after getting them and also the first time bruising. Why can't Iowa clinic just get an experienced doctor and keep them!

Great friendly doctor.
