I had an ACDF surgery. Dr Schmitz was great to answer all my questions and even called me at home the day before surgery. Who does that? Very thankful. I spent 1 night at River Hills and the surgical team and daytime nurses were wonderful.

Dr. Trout and his team went above and beyond to manage my pain. From the very beginning, they listened attentively to all my concerns. His reconstructive surgery on my heel was incredible, and I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a surgeon with exceptional skills, not just in the operating room, but also in the also highly critical moments in listening to concerns, and developing a comprehensive plan for the best outcome. I never felt rushed during any of my visits to his office. Brad, Dr. Trout’s RN, is also an excellent listener, attentive to my concerns, and precise in documenting crucial notes which I believe are highly important to carry All concerns properly documented for any referrals, reading and revisiting the plan, and insuring everything that’s been spoken in the office was fully appreciated and annotated. Ms. McKenna, I want to express my deepest gratitude for truly understanding the immense pain I’m enduring and the care and support you provided for me and my family today. Thank you to the anesthesiologist for managing the immense pain I arrived with. The pain I arrived in is literally close to as the current post surgical pain with the local anesthesia injection. The Pain generated above my Foot is the same level of pain I have on the upper portion of my leg and so I thank you so much. I thank you sir, for taking care of me. A Huge thanks to all the Iowa Ortho teams and Dr. Trout for never letting me down or losing hope and taking such good care of me throughout the last couple of years. I highly recommend Dr. Brian Trout and his team. I sincerely Thank you. Happy holidays and happy New Year’s. Praying for the best healing for all patients. Very respectfully, SSG N.

The surgery center is beautiful and has all the latest technology. Staff is very capable and effective at their job tasks. The whole experience ran smoothly. Surgeries always feel so procedural. More individualized attention from the same staff member would make the experience so much better. I had several different nursing staff from beginning to end. That may be efficient but makes the experience much less patient-centered.

I could not believe how amazing this place was! You can tell that the staff are very proud of their clinic and they treat you with the most kindness and respect! Made my momma heart feel so much better as my daughter underwent another surgery. I've been in healthcare for 25 years, highly recommend!!

My surgical experience was wonderful. Everyone from registration to the nurses, anaesthetists, to of course Dr. Shumway the surgeon were so welcoming, empathetic and just down right awesome. Thank you to everyone involved in my surgery. You all made it good experience.
