On July 14th 2025, I had a routine gallbladder removal after experiencing gallbladder attacks throughout my entire pregnancy (gave birth Dec 31st 2024) and progressively got worse further into my post partum. This was my first surgery ever. I woke up feeling very groggy and sore which wasn’t unusual and was given hydrocodone for pain. I went home and once the pain med wore off started feeling super heavy in my abdomen. I decided I would just take another pain med, go to bed and hopefully wake up feeling better. I woke up in the morning and could barely stand, moving hurt even with the pain meds. I called the surgery center and they told me it’s normal and to rest and it would go away. I was white as a ghost and would nearly pass out any time I stood up and the heaviness in my abdomen/groin was so much worse (which I informed them of over the phone). My fiance took me to urgent care where they took my blood pressure which was extremely low and I was in and out of consciousness. They asked to bus me to the ER but I insisted my fiance could take me. After a few hours in the ER, lots of fluids, tests and a CT scan it was confirmed I was internally bleeding. I underwent another surgery that night to have 2L of blood extracted from my abdomen and a blood transfusion. I was discharged the next day and asked to make an appt ASAP with my family doctor to have my iron levels tested and be sure my labs would come back normal (as normal as they would with that blood loss) the following day on my way to my appointment the Surgery Center called me to reschedule my aftercare checkup, informing me the surgeon who performed my gallbladder removal had passed away that day (3 days after my surgery) unexpectedly. I rescheduled but later cancelled the appointment due to trauma. I reviewed my surgery notations and the only thing on my portal was nurse’s notes, no post op or after care notes from the surgeon at all, to this day I still don’t know what exactly happened. Due to this experience I am glad I didn’t listen to the advice of the nurse from The Surgery Center, I am terrified of ever having to undergo another surgery and cannot recommend the Surgery Center at United Medical Park.

They deserve negative stars. Worst possible place. They could care less how long they make you sit. Have an appointment? Ok ill take ya back 4 hours later. Awful awful place.

They work well with each other from The surgeon's to the nurse's, they communicate well with each other and patient's and their families. I'd recommend anyone to go and at least check out their staff and the ranges of care that they offer. Had a positive experience every Time at every appointment.

Poor customer service. Nurse was very rude. I have had 2 surgeries there. One time they let me tape ring and next they threatened to cut my wedding ring off. One time let me as grandma back with granddaughter and next time said only parents can go back. Very rude and inconsistency. If not due to insurance would not go here again

Not sure about the “Whole” of the medical park, yet I would avoid Dr Solomon DPM. His last name does not show he’s wise lol. He didn’t care about the same issue another one of his patients had & “helped”. I would go to the best dpm’s and they hail from DMU believe it or not; best university in the world for that field. Go to Des Moines or IA City!
