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.

Great Doctor!
Knowledgeable, caring, kind and respectful. Works hard to detemine best course of action.

Worst OBGYN ever!
I had four other babies with this same clinic and I was shocked at how unprofessional and just flat out rude this man was to me and my husband. He was the on call doctor and I'm sure he intentionally, during my emergency cesarean, pushed my intestines up around my liver. Five days after the cesarean I had to have two emergency surgeries. I had a life threatening infection and could not nurse or even see my newborn daughter for several weeks.

While a very nice gentleman, I was very disappointed when he told me he doesn’t perform uterine suspensions. He wanted to do a very similar repair to the one his colleagues did 10 years ago, which had failed. I went to the University of Iowa for a second opinion and was advised I needed a vaginal and uterine suspension. I wish I had just gone to UIHC 1st. I received a superior surgical repair than I would have w/Dr. Feltz.

Terrible is an understatement. He never listened to me at routine appointments instead drew his own inaccurate conclusions. Insulted me twice. Gave me an unnecessary c-section which also left me sick and hospitalized with infection afterwards due to his neglect during the surgery. I had to have two more surgeries to fix what went wrong. I will never forget the condescending things he said to me when I needed support the most. Honestly, I'm shocked he is still allowed to practice

I can't say enough good things about this doctor and his entire staff. I originally went to him for treatment of a bladder issue. Because he is thorough and professional, he was able to diagnose me with cancer, despite the fact that I never had any symptoms. Because of the rating of the cancer, he referred me to an oncologist but without his timely intervention, my cancer may have developed into a life-threatening condition instead of a treatable one.
