Essentia Health-Virginia

She is a Nice person but not very pleased with my cataract removal outcome

I can't say enough about this wonderful man! If you are looking for a top-shelf doctor, he's the one! A word of advice, however- book an appointment now.He is booked months in advance but he is WELL worth the wait!!

I found Dr. Mitchell professional, intuitive, and very knowledgible. My situation was difficult to assess and had multiple factors affecting the diagnosis. I was very comfortable with Dr. Mitchells' review, assessment, and information she presented during my visit. Dr. Mitchells' appointment...

Dr. Smith is my primary physician. He has been so for approximately five years. I see him many times a year for various health issues. We have had to work through a number of medications to find the perfect ones for me. I have complete trust in Dr. Smith's ability and I find him a very pleasant,...

He took his time and answered questions. He explained everything in terms at my level. Great guy.

I was seen for my right thigh she was nice & help full

poor communication and refused to consult with my doctors within the same medical center. She promised me that my foot would not return to the disfigurement I had pre-op contrary to another doctors opinion. One week post-op my worst nightmare began to appear, and less than 90 days later it was worse...

Dr Fernandez-Pokorny has been my rheumatologist for several years. I cannot say enough praise for her as she has gone over and above to help me live with my disease. I feel very fortunate to have access to such a wonderful person and her staff.

Love Dr. Kanoff! He is a caring, knowledgeable and kind physician. A blessing to our family.

I used to see Dr. Henson in Kansas City Missouri. He is an excellent doctor, and I have never found another one like him. He really cares about his patients, and I miss having a doctor like him.

Dr. Ryden talks to you as well as Listens to your needs, He’s Caring, Friendly, Intelligent, and I feel comfortable bringing my special needs son to see him, He actually called to check on my son when he saw that I had brought him into Urgent care over the weekend, he was concerned about his...

I am so happy to have found Dr. Kamal. She took time to listen to me, didn’t make me feel rushed and was a pleasure to work with. So glad she is in St Paul! Nancy sheran

He was very informative about my injury. I trusted his skill and his recommendations.

Excellent!! Nothing but exceptional!!!

Thank You Dr. Zotti,... Your a True Professional & a True Scholar. I was in the ER and Dr. Zotti literally saved my life,... He listens well to me as the patient and used his professional skills as a Dr. making all the correct decisions including running the proper test concerning my ailments. He...

As a previous patient, I found Dr. Hyjek to be quite adequate for my basic health care. But as complications and issues in my health arose, it was clear he was not suited to provide the needed care and expertise. When I asked for a referral, he became defensive and aggressive. For those reasons...

Dr. Jorgenson has been my Internist for 17 years. He's a superb physician who takes the time necessary to establish a trusting doctor/patient relationship. He's the head of internal medicine at a major Minnesota healthcare system, Essentia Health. All one really needs to know is that if you've had...

I had 2 knee replacements with total success!

What a breath of fresh air Dr. Ryden has already been for our family! We recently switched to him after our normal primary care physician would not listen to my concerns or take me serious. Dr. Ryden takes the time to listen and really cares!

I cannot explain how unprofessional and immensely rude Dr. Joshua S Maxwell was at the Essential Health 3rd St Building. I have had care through Essentia Health my entire life, and as such have come to regard their facilities and professionalism to a high degree. I went in for a consult because I...

Horrible, horrible physician. No bedside manner or empathy whatsoever. Acted disinterested and bored when speaking to me, and left me feeling like nothing but a faceless number he had to work through on his schedule. Did not provide me with medical knowledge, advice or insight on my health and the...

I was referred to him for a worker's comp injury. Cortisone shots were not working and surgery was recommended. Understandably, he did not want to perform surgery unless it was absolutely needed. He performed many tests and promised to call me the following week with the results. No call. After...

I had a very positive experience as a patient with Dr. Maxwell. I don't have any previous experience seeing an orthopedic physician so I don't really have anything to compare him to, but I can share that he was very thorough and took my pain, my concerns, and my history very seriously. He was very...

I will never, ever visit this clinic again. Horrible experience with this man.

Horrible. Doesn’t listen or respect patients and it was violating.

I had two hernia surgeries by her that failed. Now onto a different surgeon for my third. Very poor surgery dept. Took many phone calls to finally talk to her after my surgery. Not impressed.

He did what he did to help my husband Richard Christiansen with surgeries etc!! HE ROCKS!! We love him BIG TIME for what he did for Richard Christiansen!!

Amazing experience. I wasn't able to see without my glasses but thanks to Dr. Aponte now I can see everything clearly! The procedure was quick and painless. She was very kind and knowledgeable.

Dr Aponte was very thorough, patient, kind and informative. She walked me thru every step of the way from performing all necessary exams to the procedure itself. She made me feel comfortable and addressed all my many concerns. Thanks to Dr Aponte I now have better vision than I could ever imagine. I...

I was very happy with my surgery. My improved vision made a huge impact in my life.

Saw Dr. Worden for the first time. Found out she had taken the time to review my records from the previous Cardiologist I had been seeing in a different city. She was very outgoing and welcomed questions. Greatly appreciated her friendly manner. She seemed genuinely interested in what I had to...

Dr. Jacobson treated me with kindness and respect. She was thorough and diagnosed my serious and rare condition. I have seen many doctors in the past and it took Lana to figure it all out. We are so fortunate and blessed to have such an awesome health care professional in our own community. I...

Lana jacobson is the best doctor I ever met She got back to me so fast that I could not believe it and she is the nicest doctor in the world

Lana is amazing! She is extremely thorough, kind, compassionate and will do everything possible to find the answer and help you get well. I've never met a provider like her. I would recommend her to anyone!!

Dr. Klassen is next level and what people hope to get for a surgeon. I feel blessed to have got him as a surgeon because I knew I wouldn't have to worry about anything. I am very particular and like things perfect, that I probably go overboard with my "exactness". I like to know I am recovering the...

I was seen by Dr. Dankwart in the ER. She makes patients feel at ease, is easy to talk to, listens well and has a good sense of humor. Highly recommend her.

Dr . Lowe has delivered 2 of my healthy kids . And I am sadden to know that he won’t be here for my current pregnancy as I discovered on google , he has relocated to another state .

I love going to Dr. Iwu. He is thorough and has a great bedside manner. I have many health issues and he makes sure to monitor them all. I would trust him with all of my family members.

not very good results and call backs were near impossible to get in a timely fashion

When booking my appointment I said I was having ear and sinus issues. I was examined and told one of my ears was blocked and I would need to unblock it myself or go to my primary care to get it done! I found this surprising and subsequently I have learned I have an ear infection which I need...

No clue what she's doing, won't tend to what needs to be addressed. Her nurse had to call her attention to a major mass, from a fall my elderly mother had. This was after my mother had been asking her to at least looking at it for two plus weeks. My mom has been relying on her for about a year now...

Absolutely the best doctor I’ve ever seen. So knowledgeable, caring and concerned. So thankful to have him as my oncologist.

Dr. Kamal took care of my mother for 10+ years; my sweet mom recently passed away, aged 102. We are beyond grateful for Dr. Kamal’s guidance and compassion all this time.

Best Doctor for knee shots they lasted me 6years he's well worth the drive I live near Wisconsin Dells so it takes me several hours to drive to his clinic but well worth it. He is the best !

Dr. Hendricks is a good listener. He wants to answer all your questions. Dr. Hendricks can explain procedures in an understandable way. He is very encouraging towards patients progress in their recovery. Dr. Hendricks is thorough in his practice as an orthopedic surgeon.

Spends time explaining things, asks the right questions and it is easy to make an appointment. He sent me to a specialist for treatment and may have saved my life by doing so.

I would recommend Dr. Christopher Bunch to anyone that had any type of concern with their heart. He was the absolute best taking care of my dad, Robert N. (Pert) Olson

I have been to several pain doctors over the years, but Dr. Seidelmann is by far the best I have ever been to. He talks your language and totally cares about your needs! He gave me a painless injection in a short amount of time. Excellent results. He will be my go to guy in the future. Thank you Dr....

After cancelling my appointments 3 times I finally saw her nurse who was very interested in my condition, examined my feet, took x-rays and discussed all issues and possible options for my complicatedfoot problems. She said she would discuss my case with Dr Silbernagel and then when I saw her she...

Dr. Schexnaydre is so down to earth, she is very nice, sweet, and knowledgeable about everything I need help with. I wouldn’t trust anyone else to deliver my babies. She delivered my 2nd child and will deliver anymore I shall have. Bonus is she has everything in house from a lab to doing...

He was SO wonderful during the hospice period with my father during his final moments. I'm not a patient at St. Mary's, but he took the time to listen, and that meant so much to me and my family. I have not met a more compassionate doctor ANYWHERE.

Dr. Malloy saved my life. That's a good start. Not only did he talk with us after the procedure but when we requested to speak again later he came quickly and answered all our questions. I have confidence in him and recommend him.

Don’t go to this doctor. Vague

She tells you you’re fine when you go in and tell her heart issue symptoms...then you are in the hospital with a collapsed artery...then I’m told no follow up on artery and don’t know about medication...so I take myself off of my own meds that could be keeping me alive? Finding new...not worth my...

This Physician is one of the most helpful, caring, Specialist's that I've ever met. He, along with all of his staff, are what Physicians should model themselves and their staff by. I feel privileged to have this man and his staff on my side. Richard M. Allen B.A. Psychology, The University of...

Dr B has always made room in her schedule to see me at spur of the moment. She is down to earth, extremely compassionate, and does an excellent job explaining everything from a procedure to figuring out a plan of action for the problem at hand. Dr B doesn't leave the room until she feels you...

Seen doctor once and was impressed

Twice forgot to see me and it was a later appointment and went home when cleaning crew arrived!!

Dr. Beresford made me feel very comfortable.....my lower back was killing me with pain and was sick of my life interrupted by this pain. Finally got up enough nerve to call essentia clinic in Virginia and make an appointment. Had three session of shots and the third session was the burning of the...

Dr. Kuzel performed rotator cuff surgery on my left shoulder. I am very happy with the entire process from pre-op to surgery to recovery. The work he performed on my shoulder served as the foundation to a great recovery. I would highly recommend Dr. Kuzel to others considering orthopedic...

Other Dr s wernt taking my highs and lows and fatigue seriously. My condition is unique (Adrenal insufficiency) but Dr. Kablowi, With time got it figured out. I feel better than I have in years. The cons: now my wife has a list of chores for me to do. Lol

Dr. Kuzel was always willing to fully explain procedures and options in a caring manner making what could be a stressful situation as tolerable as it could be. I was extremely confident in his skills. I was treated very well by everyone that I came in contact with.

Dr. Jorgenson is an excellent doctor who listens and genuinely cares about his patients.

I have not been very happy about my experience with Dr. Maxwell. He is not up front with what is wrong with you. He also is not open to finding out what is causing your pain. Doesn't get back to the patients right away it took over a week to get something from the pharmacy. I wouldn't recommend. To...

She went above and beyond investigating my recent test results, something I haven't experienced with most doctors I have been seeing for years. My only contact was her discharging me from the hospital, yet she took the time to look at my lab work. I would highly recommend her!!!!!

It's been a comfort to work with Dr. Wolz on my diagnosis of melanoma. Since the diagnosis last May, Dr. Wolz efficiently removed the melanoma leaving a minimal scar, he has patiently answered questions, and removed further troubling skin lesions. Most importantly, he has helped me to keep this...

OA was able to sneak me in to see Dr. Hall on a very busy week after I injured my knee. He took the time to do a thorough exam and answer all the questions I had. Never felt rushed. He came to see me twice during PT appointments to see the progress being made and if it was safe to return to work....

His follow through is excellent an saved my life. Excellant Doctor an would highly recommend.

I had a really messed up thumb from arthritis and was referred to Dr. Kuzel by my orthopedic MD. My thumb was basically being held on by only one tendon. It was painful and I couldn't use it. Dr. Kuzel explained exactly what was wrong and suggested a few options. He explained what he needed to do...

Dr. Kamal was an important part of my life for several years. She is an incredible diagnostician and compassionate professional. I have concurrent conditions making medical management for me a challenge. She gave her all tirelessly and her knowledge in diagnosis enormously improved my quality of...

Dr. Kaiser did not fill out the paperwork for my employer which is the reason I even saw him. I had to pay a bill without getting anything in return. It has been 9 months now. It was a total waste of time to use my sick leave for absolutely nothing and for my insurance to also have to pay a large...

This provider is a good listener and cares about the patients well being....she gets feedback on test results right away which is reassuring.

Dr. Hoxie is “adequate” but due to incomplete charting notes I was unable to address a follow up issue with his nurse when he was on vacation. I was also told that there was no physician covering for him. This is not an acceptable standard of care.

Absolutely wonderful doctor! I have had almost 40 spots of skin cancer removed which means we have done many appointments. Dr. Woltz is very thorough, skilled, kind and caring and has a great staff of nurses!

Had to respond to that review from guy with Crohn's. I have UC which is similar, have seen this doc for 12 years, he is smart, thorough and caring. Did he really say tough it out? I really doubt it! Great doc.

I had an appointment a few years ago with Dr. Bunch. He was very rude and told me if I was concerned with the way my legs looked because of my veins and the dark color of my ankle that I was vain. I would not recommend him to anyone.

Excellent care provided. He is caring and I recovered very quickl. Would recommend him to anyone I meet

My regular physician at Essentia Health in Grand Rapids, MN was on leave so I consulted Dr. Witt today. He diagnosed and did cryo-surgery on a basal cell carcinoma on my back. I found him extremely professional yet cordial, and I appreciate his explanation in detail of why he called by cancer "basal...

Great technique, great personality, great plethora of knowledge! Highly recommend!

Superb care

Lana was easy to talk to and pleasant. She was thorough, direct and to the point but with a smile.

Very knowledgeable. Listened to my concerns.

I fell last winter and broke my hip. Dr. Davis did an excellent surgery repairing my hip.

I broke my wrist, which required him to do a bone graph from my hip and make a wedge and fix a broken scaphoid bone. He did such a great job, and made sure my tattoos lined back up perfectly. Such a great person.

Very knowledgeable and caring.

Wendy is passionate, a local provider who will take time to listen to the patients needs. I would definitely recommend Wendy to other's.

I have seen Janna multiple times as well as my family. She is very thorough and uses her patient-centered practice very well. She listens to the patient unlike the providers across the road. I would definitely recommend her to anyone. A+++

I too looked at reviews to find a doctor that could help me with a thyroid condition and cautiously made an appointment with Dr. Kiblawi. I can tell you I was incredibly impressed! He is obviously very smart but doesn't talk down to you. He will put you at ease and let you know that with...

I went to Dr. Tietz for many years when I lived in International Falls , Minnesota. He delivered my two daughters. I have since moved to Alaska in 1995, and have NOT found a Dr. as good or as dependable as Dr. Tietz. Thank you Dr. Tietz for the many years you treated me. Maxine ( Gustafson)...

Excellent experience and great results

Dr. Malloy was excellent in explaining the procedures and had a very good bedside manner.

Dr Copeman is an excellent and caring physician. Best doctor I have ever had.

Our family went in for 2 sport physicals. Would not recommend this doctor at all.

I generally dislike doctors and the rigid protocols many follow. Dr. Good was willing to listen to my concerns. He seemed more focused on my questions and issues, rather than getting me out of the office or moving to the next patient. I am very particular and had several issues to discuss. He took...

I would highly recommend Dr. Aponte. She is professional,polite & incredibly intelligent. I was extremely nervous about the procedure, I have had some very bad experiences with Doctors. She made me feel very comfortable. My eyesight was getting bad,and do to Dr. Aponte, my eye sight has greatly...

I would highly recommend Dr. R. Hendricks for Orthopedic Surgery. He was wonderful. He saved my father (in his 70's) from having extreme pain in his hip so he could continue a great quality life. He has a wonderful bedside manner and is easy to talk to.
