What a great group of providers, nursing, and medical staff at Avera Urogynecology. I was very nervous about my procedure and they made me feel comfortable and at ease with my experience. What a great group of professional, kind and caring individuals. My stay at Avera Specialty hospital was a very positive experience. I would highly recommend them if you ever need their services.

When I checked in for my appointment I went to the center area, where the sign above said Urology & something else? I told here I was there to see Dr. Barker & had confirmed via email. After checking in she told me to sit in I think it was C-D area? I did & she gave me a clipboard to fill out pages of "joint & muscle information. I did, but wondered why? I say there quite awhile waiting, finally a nurse approached me from behind & asked me who I was, she had been looking for me. It was chaotic!

At times the providers and staff seemed rushed and I felt like they didn't take the time to understand my concerns.

The new building seems almost like a factory, the facility is very impersonal and spread out, cold impression. The receptionists and PA's and all staff are very warm and welcoming as usual however.

I received excellent care but my appt was at 9:30 and I didnt see the NP until about 10:45. I'm pretty sure I was scheduled to see the Dr but seeing the NP was just fine because they are very nice and knowledgeable.
