Angels - yes there are angels on earth. I know - I met them at the hospital in Clarion, Iowa.
Dr. Emile Li and Dr. Andrew Odland are "the best of the best"!
I'd recommend my family and friends to this great team!
The experience with Iowa Specialty Hospitals has been great. I feel I would not have had this quality of care at other clinics or hospitals. Dr. Odland explained procedures and my status to me, and I feel I had expert hands-on care. The hospital and Dr. Odland's staff were exceptional initially with getting me scheduled and then making sure I had the best experience possible.
I knew I made the right decision to have surgery at this facility! Dr Li is an outstanding doctor who reassured me of his abilities from day one. It’s been a full week now, and I am doing well with little to no pain, which validates his outstanding abilities!!!!! I can’t say enough positive things about this team, and from the bottom of my heart, I thank you all for the care I received!
Dr. Gabrielson is the absolute best doctor! He did a fantastic job and got right to the issue, no nonsense. When I was in surgery, my nurse was Nikki (she was also my nurse with my previous C-section). She is SO KIND AND CARING!! I don’t think I could have made it through either surgery without her there! She keeps you informed each step of the way, and keeps the room feeling calm. Between her and Dr. Gabrielson, there’s 1000% certainty you’re in the best hands possible!!

Everything that needed to be done for me was accomplished. I received excellent care at your hospital. Everyone who I came into contact with was very professional and supportive. Dr. Odland is amazing. Nurse Kristy was outstanding as well. Surgery team was amazing! I received fantastic care!
We would like for you share how pleased and how just in awe we are over my wife's care. I have worked in the service industry my entire life as an EMT and in law enforcement, and I wanted to be sure to pass along my 'wow experience'.
We have been to other larger hospital systems, and while those visits have all been great, the prevailing attitude here at ISH is so fantastic. Everyone we encounter is so involved - Clarion, Belmond - everyone is so thorough and has great attitudes and excellent level of care. We can tell it's not just a job, that everyone genuinely cares.
We have a lot of friends where we live, and every one of them talks about how wonderful it is at Iowa Specialty, particularly in Clarion, Belmond, and Garner.
I will forever seek the services of Iowa Specialty Hospitals and Clinics when necessary and continue to brag to everyone about the care I received. Thank you to everyone so much for every part you each played in this process.
