Community Health Centers of Southeastern Iowa - Louisa County Medical and Dental Clinic 2409 Spring Street, Columbus City, IA 52737

"Please run for your life away from this doctor. I had a sudden onset of multiple system symptoms in 2019 and she wrote them off as mental illness even trying to get me to go to a psych ward. I ended up having dysautonomia, which includes large spikes in blood pressure, heart palpitations, gi and swallowing issues and many other symptoms. She said cruel things to me such as I should not call an ambulance unless I was hit by a car, although at the time I was suffering with severe chest pain and bouts of critically high blood pressure. Fortunately, I rid myself of her rather quickly but not soon enough as it took me over year to undo the damage she caused by labeling me with multiple mental illnesses. Just a word of advice, do not tolerate being dismissed by doctors. They do not know everything. I stayed at this practice way too long and it only damaged me. If you feel something is wrong please keep going until someone listens. All that being said, the office staff and nurses are wonderful. Edit 2022: I have since been diagnosed with a pituitary adenoma which has caused dysautonomia symptoms. Although I would love an apology, I know I will never receive one. Please believe your patients."

"I go to the Colombus City clinic for my medical and dental needs. All ways a positive experience. They make me feel like I'm part of their family.. CHC has a care coordinator that follows patients progress to make sure needs are met"

"I have a horrible fear of sharp objects, especially needles! The dentist there (I think his name is Chris). Is fantastic, quick and efficient. The staff are super friendly and do everything they can to ease my extreme panic. They have never belittled or made rude comments about my teeth or my fear, unlike other dentists I have seen. I have recommended several people for services. Only downside is they are always SUPER busy, but if you are in pain or in need of emergency services they do everything possible to get you in asap."

"I'm 54 year old male and never went to the doctor on purpose, usually let my problems go until I couldn't take it anymore,. Then go to the ER. The Staff working there at this time have helped make it a lot easier just by treating me like a person and actually caring about the patient's Just thank GOD. We have a place we can go that doesn't want us just for our insurance card or our big fat wallets !!"

"I've had to take my mom here because it was the only place that would take her insurance. No matter if she's the last patient or the 2nd patient, they are always nice, curtious, and smiling. Also bilingual for those that need it. Very clean and relaxed atmosphere! Kid friendly as well!"
