Your trust is our top concern.
We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.
We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.
Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.
All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.
My overall experience was excellent.

I could never have had any better Doctor, nurses, or staff than this surgical experience had provided for me. Dr. Jay was very understanding, supportive and explanatory of the procedure with me as well as with my husband. The surgical staff at the Mason City Clinic Same Day surgery setting were all exceptional, also. We could never rate you any other than a 5 star!! Thank you for such a great surgical experience!!!!

Every one was nice and smiling and wishing us a Merry Christmas, as we came in, and the thoughtfulness continued throughout the whole time. It was as pleasant as one can be for a procedure like a colonoscopy. I had not seen the new rooms and was very surprised at how nice they were, clean and bright. Thank you for taking care of me
