Essentia Health Fertility — 32nd Avenue Clinic, Fargo

on June 21 about 6am I presented to the ER with Angioedema. The staff was quick, professional and kind. The doctor; Dr Steve Humble I believe, saved my life. Thank you a million times over the nurses were all excellent. Rebecca Linn

I am currently pregnant and I saw Brittaney Schmidt,APRN ,CNP couple days ago . She is terrible!! , She was rushing my visit with her so fast she was ready to be done . When I looked on My Chart she never posted an appointment summary like every other doctor’s does . When I told her what I will like been done , she lied and said nurses was busy , after my appointment I saw nurses sitting in their stations and just chatting with one another . Will not recommend her At All . Essentia use to be A Good hospital but recently Some of the Nurses and OBGYN there are just terrible!! ,they don’t care about you , your health or your baby !!.

Highly skilled surgeon, terrible bedside manner. I see a neurosurgeon here and been a referred patient for over 9 years. During that time, I’ve only had him in clinic for masaaaaybe 20 minutes total over that 9 year span. He's already out the door as soon as he walks in. He spends more time talking to you in pre-op than in clinic. He's an excellent surgeon. Placed my second implant last week. But good gravy He's gotta have better bedside manners than this. He'll spend more time removing you staples or sutures than actually speaking to you. Otherwise, I've found both implant surgeries highly satisfying with excellent and thorough pre-op care from the check in to recovery. The neurosurgeon I'm referring to may be a "I know my patient because I've thoroughly studied their chart" kind of guy; but I've always come back to him because I know I'm in good hands.

Waited in the ER, watched a guy collapse. And then proceeded to listen to a male nurse go "ugh, just stick him in the hallway" then shrug as the collapsed man was wheeled away. Then got to listen to all of the night security team proceed to make fun of the man's "seizure" and gossip. If youre seeking compassionate care, speedy time response, and professional behavior... this is NOT the place to go. Edit: Went to Sanford ER 30 min after the patience negligence from Essentias team. Not only were they professional. But they were also very knowledgeable and compassionate. I was admitted shortly after going though the BEST triage I've ever seen in a hospital (civilian and military). Now 12 hours later into the next day, I've been discharged on the path to feeling 100% again. Cannot say enough good things about Sanford. From intake, to triage, to the nursing, and doctor care. Being educated on what's happening and why. And above all the fact that they value self advocacy and are willing to discuss things with you shows just how much Sanford is in a different medical league all together.

I was in Essentia hospital for a low eGFR I tried to explain to the doctor im a bodybuilder and on testosterone cypionate and creatine monohydrate. But she didn't understand. One day the doctor came in and saw me filing ded skin off my toe and she said her friend could fix it and I said no, because its just something people do she got mad and sent me to Prairie St Jones psych ward. While I was there a large man tried to rape me by penatrating me the police were never called. Probably because it would look bad on them. When I got out after the doctor apologized to me. It was very traumatic for me and now im going to to other doctors for my traumatic experience. I talked to Essentia hospital once released and they didn't seem to care and said she was following protocol. My wife is a MD and she wants to to file a malpractice suit against them. I also had to go to their ER a couple of weeks ago and the doctor said I was in Stage 5 kidney failure. He said I have a month to live. So I went to a kidney doctor and he said im completely fine. Essentia has destroyed my life. I might also add i have dementia and im a vulnerable adult in Cass County. The doctor didn't understand are care to listen to me. My wife is filing a malpractice suit against them for the trama im going through. Sanford always understand my blood work. Please don't go to them. Sanford has much more competend doctors. Essentia has destroyed my life so im just trying to help others to protect them from Essentia Hospital.
