Cherokee Regional Medical Center

I had an anterior left hip replacement Nov 6th, 2019. It went very well. He was very thorough with the whole process. All of his staff are well trained professionals just like him. Cannot say enough positive about every aspect of it. Would highly recommend him to anyone.

He is the most rudest dr I've ever met. Doesn't care about his patients. Just walks out on patient when they are explaining stuff.

I was sent to Dr. Horowitz by my PCP to test for underlying causes of a blood clot in my shoulder. He was very thorough, yet calm and easy going and took the time to explain everything to me. He called and spoke with a radiologist who recommended a venogram, which ultimately showed I had Thoracic...

Dr. Meis is very friendly and great to work with. He explains the procedures in a way that is easy to understand and answered all my questions. I have complete confidence in him.

I had a knee replacement and was very nervous about it. He inspired complete confidence that everything would go well. He explained all procedures well and was always willing to answer questions I had so that I understood them. I think he really cares about his patients and I felt that. I felt...

Takes time to explain things well and to answer any questions you have.

In November of 2008 Dr. Meis repaired my right rotator cuff which included six months of physical therapy three times a week at the CNOS clinic. My torn rotator cuff was the result of a work related accident. After my six months of P.T. I was rated at 95% recovered. Dr. Meis told me at the end of...

Dr. Meis was quick to discover my shoulder injury and followed up with an MRI to confirm it. Surgery was scheduled very quickly. The injury was widespread and Dr. Meis did an excellent job repairing it. Dr. Meis's office followed up with a call the day after my surgery to see how I felt. Very little...

Dr. Meis did an outstanding job on my daughters sport related knee injury. His expertise and bedside manner is top notch and Siouxland is fortunate enough to have an ortho surgeon like him. Huge “thank you” to him and his team!

Dr Meis did a knee replacement on my right leg in June of 2019. He did a fantastic job, I was completely satisfied. I got out of hospital in short time and did great at home. My son recommended Dr. Meis to me and I certainly would recomment him to anyone who is in need of surgery. Would have him...

I had a severely torn rotator cuff and Dr Meis restored my use of the arm. Had to implant donor material and secure with 9 anchors. After 7 months, I had him repair the other shoulder as well. Now I am able to enjoy motorcycling again!

Dr Ryan Meis replaced both my knee joints when I was in my late 40's which turned out fantastic. He just recently replaced my right shoulder joint. I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome and to have full use of my arm again. My pain with all the surgeries was very little. He is an amazing...

went in for knee pain. was a difficult case but was determined that i needed a partial knee replacement. care was great Dr. Meis is excellent

Takes the time needed to explain the procedure completely. Dr. Meis is extraordinary at making you feel at ease with the procedure he is performing. His kindness, concern, and knowledge are a blessing.

In my opinion/experience, Dr. Meis is the best orthopaedic surgeon in the area!

JUst read the review above. Ridiculous! I have been a patient of Dr. Erlandson for years. He is concerned, competent, confident and very helpful. I have stage 4 kidney disease and Dr. Erlandson has been there every step of the the way in the unfortunate circumstances I find myself in!

Kept giving me medications that wouldn’t work. Wouldn’t listen when I kept telling him chemicals were really setting off my asthma.. now to the point I can’t breathe in cold air

For The First Time in my Life My Kidneys were damaged from sepsis. Dr. Luqman's honesty about my situation caused me to wake up and take better care of myself. He is a doctor which will tell you what you may not want to hear but is necessary. He is special.

Seems to lack needed knowledge. Very poor care provided. Would never recommend

I dont think I would have had bilateral knee replacement if Dr. Meis wasnt my doctor. He answered all my questions and I was totally at ease going into the surgery. His bedside manner is top notch, he is patient and super skilled. I would definately recommend Dr. Ryan Meis to anyone who is...

I explained to him i was allergic to Sulfa, he prescribed Sulfa-salizine (sp). Four days later I had an allergic reaction, after hours (of course). I immediately stopped taking it and took Benedryl, called the after hours number, and he was on call. I left a message,and another and another. He NEVER...

Terrible, non confident doctor that has no passion in actually helping patients. Doesn’t feel concerned. Feels attacked and actually attacks concerned family members. Something is wrong with that. I wouldn’t want him treating me!

Dr. Meis fixed my achilles tendon. Very professional and friendly. Excellent care.

ryan is an excellent doctor. great bedside manner and very personable but most of all is a very skilled and knowledgeable doctor

I have already recommended Dr. Meis to family and friends. I was very pleased with him and his staff.

Dr. Meis is an incredibly talented doctor with an outstanding bedside manner!! He treats you like family!!

Patient, kind! Makes a patient want to work hard in rehab because of his support and encouragement! Dr Meis is the best!

Dr. Abu is an excellent listener and you can tell he considers his answers carefully before giving you a response. He is very personable and I trust him immensely.

Wonderful, he sits and explains everything so clearly, talks to you as a person, not just another number, did amazing job on my husband's shoulder. Listens to your issues, he is up to date with new procedures and new advances in medicine.

Dr. Meis did reconstructive surgery on my right knee. Dr. Meis provided a detailed explanation of the procedure that would be performed. I felt he really cared about me and my recovery. My knee is responding very nicely. I would highly recommend Dr Meis to everyone.

By far the best doctor I have been around in a long time. He is always extremely helpful and very courteous. I have already recommended to many people and I will continue to do so.

Dr. Meis provided top notch care to my 17 year old daughter. I am extremely pleased and couldn't ask for a better surgical experience.

Exceptional patient care with exemplary medical treatment. The very best!

I had two total shoulder replacements in 2017 by Doc Meis! Just went back for the final yearly checkup on my second shoulder!! Pain free now !! Doc Meis is an awesome surgeon and person! From day one,, The whole experience at CNOS , the surgery, pre and post op,, It all made for a pleasant...

He was always very thorough and had all the time you needed to talk to him.

explanation of services on the repair of my meniscus was excellent, after math issues was spot on. recovery went well

I have recommended Dr. Meis to many friends and family. Would not go to anyone else!

Dr. Meis and his staff are exceptional! I’ve had both of my knees replaced. He is a very kind and caring man! He explains things thoroughly and puts your mind at ease. He also did my husband’s shoulder. We are grateful for the excellent care from Dr. Meis and would highly recommend him!

he replaced both of my knees and my husbands one knee, we have never been more satisfied with such a good and caring doctor. My son in law had is shoulder repaired and he did an amazing job. You will never find a more caring person than doctor Meis.

Ryan did a great job of explaining what was going on, how he was going to repair it, and made sure the rehabilitation process was working for me.

I would find it hard to believe there is a finer Orthopedic Surgeon in Siouxland. And, I am speculating that he may be one of the finest Ortho's in the nation. The not-so-good news is that 4 members of my family have had 4 total procedures performed by Dr. Meis. The great news is that we have had...

Absolutely awesome—time spent with patient, bedside manner, explanation and information very clearly communicated.

I had a great experience with Dr. Meis. He listened intently to my medical issues, explained in the appropriate amount of detail what my symptoms were being caused from, and gave some choices on how to proceed with medical care. He and his office staff were efficient and friendly. I would return...

Dr. Meis was very caring and eased my concerns by answering my questions in a manner that I understood. I was disappointed that I saw more of his assistants than him. I also felt it was too easy to get pain meds.

Dr. Ryan Meis is one of the best orthopedic doctors anywhere. His professionalism, mannerisms, thoughtfulness, and true care is exceptional. His concern before my knee surgery, during, and after have been above and beyond. I highly recommend Dr. Meis to everyone needing orthopedic care.

Dr. Fox is an exceptional doctor. He performed a cataract removal on one of my eyes. From the time I had my first contact with him for an exam to after removeal of cataract, he took his time with explaining the condition of my eye, what the procedure would include, answered questions during the...

Just excellent all around. Could not ask for s better doctor

Dr be it and his team are the best. You hardly have to wait more then 15 min. To see the Dr. He is very kind and understanding. If he can't figure out what's wrong , he will send you to a specialist. He has been the family Dr. Since he opened up practice in Peterson, is,. Then in Cherokee for at...
