In patients' words
"It's clear this outfit is only interested in high volume procedures and little patient care... The doctor's bedside manner was rude and aggressive."
— The Iowa Clinic Gastroenterology Department review"Unprofessional. Thought I was making up my symptoms. Performed no physical exam... Regretted my decision to have him do my procedure."
— Dr. Justin Rice review on Vitals"Dr Hade is a great doctor and truly one of the best gastroenterologists in the state. He's incredibly knowledgeable and explains things very well. His bedside manner is amazing."
