Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

ABSOLUTELY the BEST OB I have ever been to (and I've been to quite a few)! He is so, so kind, compassionate, patient, very knowledgeable and professional. He isn't arrogant and doesn't talk down to you like some Drs do, but genuinely listens, cares and tactfully offers advice and suggestions. It feels like he has all the time in the world and he answeres all of my questions thoroughly and addresses all of my concerns. I would highly reccomend him!!

I hated all the other OB's at the Iowa clinic. Throughout my pregnancy I saw the same 3 doctors and none of them were nice. When I delivered I got lucky he was working, I wish I knew about him before. He got my stuck baby out of me while I was blacking out with a vbac/forceps. Thankful he saved us. I have only seen him since and he is the nicest doctor. Thank you for being such a positive caring guy!

I was nervous about a procedure I was going to have done. Dr. Polzin, and his nurse, were very knowledgable and answered any questions I had. I felt very comfortable thanks to the whole office from the moment I walked in. I would recommend them to anyone who has to go on for further testing.

He actually listened to me. I hate seeing doctors and them telling me what will and won't work when I've been dealing with a problem for over 10 years. He truly cares and is an amazing doctor.
