In patients' words
"Dr. Madsen was very knowledgeable, explained things well, and understood my immediate fear of surgery. Very understanding, caring, and was wonderful."
— Healthgrades review"The office staff to nurses and PAs were very knowledgeable, friendly, and caring about the patient. Dr. Fern is an excellent surgeon! All staff makes you feel relaxed and reassured."
— Healthline review"He is very unprofessional and I have heard hundreds of bad allegations also filed against him for body shaming and not properly taking care of his patients needs."
— Vitals review (Dr. Kurt Madsen)"I waited 2.5 hours to be seen by Jeff. Went back into the room and he was in there maybe 2 minutes... Now I am at risk for having surgery and being in a boot for 8-10 more weeks. Worst medical experience ever!"
