Patient Stories

Listen to Iowa Weight Loss Specialists' bariatric surgeon, Dr. Eibes, experience receiving back surgery from Dr. Lynn Nelson.

I am glad to have met Dr. Nelson and to have had him as my surgeon for my surgery and back issues.

Please recognize all the great staff and providers at your Belmond facility as they provided the best experience I have had to date!

This hospital made me feel like they cared.

Dr. Odland did an awesome job.

Thank you to the staff of Iowa Specialty Hospital for giving me my quality of life back.

I can't think of anything that ISH could have done better to provide more of a "Wow" experience.

This was my 3rd surgery at ISH - 2 at Clarion and 1 at Belmond.  Great staff at both!

Everything went off according to plan. I feel I had the "wow" experience.

Thank you to Dr. Odland and his surgical team for the successful surgery they performed on my knee replacement. I have nothing but admiration for this team and the hospital. Thanks to all and keep up the good work. This hospital is top notch and will recommend ISH to anyone.

I continually sing the praises of Dr. Andrew Odland and all the medical staff at Iowa Specialty Hospital in Clarion.

As far as I'm concerned, I had a "Wow" experience for the exceptional care that I was given both times I was at this hospital.

“I can honestly say this was been the best Hospital experience I have ever had in my life time. The staff didn’t treat me like another patient but like family.” Manuel continued.

Dr. Palit is the best…he is caring, explains everything so that you understan

I will recommend your hospital to others. Really glad to know there is a good place for health care in our community.

Dr. Li is the BEST - which you already know.

The staff was outstanding!  I also want to thank Dr. Nelson as for weeks prior, other health care providers really didn't listen to how much pain I was in.

The employees in this office give awesome care to their patients.

I would recommend them again and again and would go to them again. Very happy! Thank for taking care of me!

Dr. Palit was very personable.

"I would recommend these orthopedic surgeons."

Most thoughtful and courteous individual I've ever dealt with.

I had a chance to interact with quite a few of the staff members during my visit.  They were all very friendly and showed concern for my situation, both the medical and the situation concerning my insurance.

Ben Becker was awesome.  He showed a concern due to my x-ray and took the precautions to rule out the worst...

"I have seen several providers & other staff in this office many times. My rating overall would be excellent..."

Very good experience overall.  I was glad Doc Li sent me to physical therapy - it helped me very much.  Good job, to all concerned.

"Very good experience. I had an x-ray of my right knee, and Ben Becker explained the results to me clearly. He has a caring personality."

"Matt is always very helpful and professional."

Every visit, I always get the answers that I need and everyone is always courteous and helpful.

Very good experience. Staff is always very respectful and kind, as is Dr. Palit.

Dr. Li, and his associate Matt Moritz, are far and above the best in their field.  I highly recommend them to everyone I know.

Dr. Odland is an excellent physician!  My shoulder surgery went extremely well - shoulder is great!

"The staff was pleasant & helpful. Had a great nurse. Dr. Li was nice and told me all about my injury..."

I appreciate all of you.  I have several friends and family who have had treatment with you.

"I always feel that I get the best care at your office..."

"They got me in to see a doctor within 2 days..."

I totally trust Dr. Li. He always spends time with you and answers all questions!

I was very happy with the visit and the explanation I got about the problem.

Ben is the best, and I am very happy with how he is determined to get to the bottom of the problem I went to him for.
