Donna Gregg An amazing institution for health needs! Professional, friendly, and efficient. I highly recommend Sansum Clinic.

Gail Cooley Making the appointment was easy and I got in within days. On the day of my appt. they did X-rays in the office and then I had a meeting with Dr. Proctor and his PA Jenna Withrow. We made a treatment plan and everything was complete within 5 weeks. I am very satisified with the care I received from Dr. Proctor and Ms. Withrow.

Liz Simas My lucky day was to meet Dr. Choi. I met her the day of my cancer diagnosis. She was compassionate yet direct. She answered ALL my questions and made staff available to contact should more questions arise (and they did). At one point when scheduling my surgery, I requested a timeframe and the response by staff was "Dr. Choi is going to want to do what you want to do." When my surgery day came, I had enough contact with her and her staff that I was totally comfortable and trusting that I had the right surgeon. She couldnt have been more COMPETENT, informative, caring, and professional. Sansum Clinic is lucky to have her on their team...and so am I.

Elizabeth Walling Dr. Dirkx is amazing! He is not a pain medicine pusher and tries to find other ways to help relieve my pain. Ive had epidurals done by him with the first one lasting over a year! He is a great listener, very encouraging, and just an overall excellent doctor! I would recommend him to anyone who is dealing with debilitating pain, he is the best and the staff is just wonderful.

Karen G At the last minute, I decided I would ask for visual call to save me a drive from an hour away. Sure enough they put it together immediately. Still nice to ‘see’ my doctor too.

Breda Wall Recently was advised by my GP to go to emergency room at cottage on the tuesday before Thanksgiving and albeit an unexpected visit and out of an abundance of caution I took myself there . I was treated with caring and respect from the nervous moment I went through the doors by every member of the cottage hospital/ Dr.Mills team. What a fine job you do every day ..frontline heros that thankfully I do not encounter on a usual basic. I am thankful for the care and the outcome. Breda

Donna Peterson I felt Dr. Harnsberger to be a very caring and informative surgeon. She performed a hemicolectomy on me and the results were very successful. She thoroughly explain the procedure prior to surgery and also talked about postop effects that I would encounter.My incisions looked great and healed quite quickly. She also always use gloves during her examination and has a good eye to detail

Lillian Luu I have a rare gallbladder cancer, Stage 4, at 33 years of age. Dr. Newman pulled out all the stops to find effective, in some cases experimental treatments AND get them covered by insurance. He did so much of his own research and he listened when we presented our own. That he got my drugs covered by insurance is nothing short of a miracle. Through several hospitalizations and surgeries, I have been fully supported by Dr. Newman and Dr. Conway. They were ever present and managed my care while I was hospitalized. Rebecca and Stefanie Rashti in palliative care have been with me every step of the way, calling every week to ensure my medications are on point. I couldn’t have asked for a better team. I’ve never received healthcare of this caliber and it has made a challenging diagnosis that much easier.
