Provider Reviews

He did a laser TURP on me and I should have had a standard TURP. I continued to have BPH symptoms after my laser TURP and saw another urologist who did a standard TURP and found prostate cancer. The second urologist said I should have never had the laser TURP because it missed the prostate cancer.

Review for Dr. Guilliams

She took care of me in the ER during a life threatening miscarriage complication. I was comforted by her experience and grateful she wanted to act fast to get me out of the woods. I found her to be warm but objective and highly professional.

Apr 21 2025

Review for Dr. Hoekstra

He was very kind. He explained things in detail. He reassured me. I wish he wasn’t just an ER Doctor. We have poor quality healthcare in our area. We can use good, caring physicians. I walked out of the ER in Springfield, because the wait time was too long. Over 2 hours. My pain would not allow me...

Apr 20 2025

Review for Dr. Assmann

Both the office and the 'doctor' struck me as uncaring and not any good at providing medical care. Going to go elsewhere, will not go back to Gifford or 417 sports medicine

Review for Dr. Gifford
