Ratings & Reviews

What My Patients Are Saying

Our ratings are an average of all reviews from patients who respond to questions from confidential surveys they receive from Crossroads Group, our survey source. The Patient Satisfaction Rating reflects the overall rating given to the provider by patients. Patients may not receive the same surveys. Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being the best score.

Only those providers who have received 30 or more completed surveys will receive a Patient Satisfaction Rating and display comments. Comments are submitted by patients and reflect their views and opinions. Mid Dakota Clinic will post positive and negative feedback, but will not post comments that are libelous, profane, or compromise the privacy of our patients.

I love Mid Dakota Women's Clinic.The staff is extremely helpful and nice and Dr Sanderson Nelson is the best Dr I have ever had.

Feb 6, 2020

The provider I had seen for years, Dawn Lorass, is no longer at the clinic. I chose Sandness, never seen her before. I wanted Bradley, but the main reason for my visit was to get an RX refill, and she was booked too far out. Dr Bradley and Lorass, even Dr Robert Bury before that ALWAYs wrote the script for me, Zoloft, for years now! Sandness said she can't refill them anymore and that I would need to see a primary care doctor, I don't have one, I've always doctored at The Center for Women, or the Today Clinic! I'm not happy that she won't continue to refill my antidepressant medication and that I have to find a new doctor to do it! I've always had it refilled for years by my ob/gyno! It's a real inconvenience....don't know if I will see or recommend Dr. Sandness to anyone.

the doctor I saw seemed inexperienced, didn't communicate well, didn't explain the procedure she performed which proved to be overkill and unneccesary.

Very personable experience

My yearly visit was conducted well, and I was able to see Dr Sandness Nelson and another day to see Dr Thomas Hutchens for any questions before he retires.I appreciated the excellent care from him for about 20 years. He will be greatly missed.
