Bruce Obbink, MD

"Dr. Obbink was very professional. It was a very good experience for me since I had been having physical problems. I am most grateful to Dr. Obbink. [REDACTED]"

"Dr. Obbink and his staff are very kind, compassionate people. He did excellent surgery on me many years ago and will be doing a procedure in the next month. Excellent doctor. Thank you."

"Treated kindly and with great respect???"

"Dr. Obbink and staff are the best!!!"

"All good."

"Dr. Obbink is excellent. I know that I can talk to him, ask questions and be heard. He explains everything and is very open and kind."

"My only concern is that the first opening for my colonoscopy is Jan. 2. That was disappointing because I am uncomfortable and would like answers. I know everyone is stretched thin though. Dr. Obbink did an exceptional job explaining what he thought was going on with my body. I would just like this confirmed sooner. I was added to the cancelation list, so my fingers are crossed."

"Nurse was extremely nice and helped put me at ease before seeing Dr. (I believe her name was Dawn- we appreciated her kindness)"

"Excellent care"

"I've known Dr. Obbink for probably close to 20 years. He's treated me before. I'm very pleased with his bedside manner and the way he treated me and trust him always."

"I have not one bad thing or complaint. My entire experience was positive and everyone I encountered was helpful and kind, knowledgeable, and pleasant."

"Dr Obbink & Dawn do an awesome job"

"Excellent!"

"Besides being kind and knowledgeable, Doctor Obbink treated me with respect. Valuable asset."

"Dr Obbink and his staff are wonderful. I think he is a wonderful doctor!"

"It was good"

"I appreciate how Dr Obbink took the time to have a discussion about my results and next steps/options. He addressed my concerns, and left an opening for more discussion if needed."

"Great experience-they were behind due to an emergency of some sort but the way they all dealt with it was extremely professional. Went out of their way to make sure I knew they were not rushing to get me in and out . Staff went above beyond to make sure it was a good appointment. Thank you all-surgical department and internal medicine??"

"Dr.Obink and his nurse Allison both listened to me about my concerns. I felt confident and comfortable in my decision and they were both reassuring in my decision . Thank you for all your support and encouragement."

"That department is very busy. There was only 2 receptionists at check in and the same girls did the rescheduling. They were very busy. There should be more help in the surgery department. Thanks"

"The Dr. Was in surgery at the time of my appointment. I was able to wait"

"Dr didn't seem to care - I thought he was having a bad day himself ' My facility nurses had to call his office a couple of times to get what he should have ordered for my treatment."

"I felt listened to and came home with a smile on my face. Thank you??"

"Great, as always!"

"I always trust Bruce with my health and wellbeing. I feel he takes the time to listen and cares about me"

"Everyone was so nice and courteous. I arrived early & was called back early. Didn't wait long at all for the provider to arrive either - very great customer service."

"The doctor listened to all of my concerns for my upcoming surgery. Carefully explained everything and made me feel at ease"

"Appointment was on time. Friendly and caring student."

"Seemed very quick to be in and out of the appointment room. Very direct and to the point. Nurse was quick to dismiss things as normal and such as not close enough family history and make assumptions about what I had said and quickly leave room. Were not rude in any way just felt as I was very quickly being passed over to get to next patient."

"I trust Dr obbink with my health."

"Dr. Obbink has been the healthcare provider for me and was recommended by my primary care physician in 2010 when my mammogram showed I had breast cancer. He did my surgery and I have been his patient since then. I have been very happy with his treatment and care."

"Was extremely anxious with a family members cancer diagnosis. So knowing I had to have breast biopsy the doctor and his nurse got me in following day so I would not have to wait. Really caring not just a number."

"always a good experience thnere"

"I was checked in and seen with-in 10 minutes of arriving; it was the fastest I have ever been seen ever at a doctor's office / hospital. Alli was a great nurse, knowledgeable, friendly and good bed-side manner, an asset to your organization. Doctor Watts did a nice job on the incision. My would has healed significantly. ThanQ"

"I used the automatic check-in for my visit and it was easy to use. And Dr. Bruce Obbink is always very professional, compassionate, and does an excellent job explaining and answering my questions. Thank you."

"I was seen in a timely manner and was given information and asked if I had any questions. I would recommend this doctor to others."

"Great Dr and nurse."

"Provider treated intern with great respect also."

"Nice Dr.& staff!"

"Love Dr. Obbink and his staff. I've been seeing him for many years and think alot of him and his bedside manner. Excellent doctor!"

"Always pleased with Dr. Obbink and all the providers at MA."

"I've seen Dr Obbink n his staff once or twice a year since 2007. I have recommended him to who will ever listen. They are great caregivers."

"Everyone was amazing from acute care staff, surgery, and recovering! For my first surgery I would say it was a success! You had a wonderful team!"

"Dr Obbink and his nurse were extremely professional and compassionate during this procedure. I appreciated their concern, care and honesty. I have nothing but positive comments to leave for this experience."

"Dr. Obbink is great & I totally trust him with my healthcare decisions."

"Waited 49 minutes past my appointment to be seen."

"The nurse setting up the appointment for the surgery date went beyond her self to find a better date than what was first thought to be a date in late June and July. She looked and looked to find an open slot in April when she found that [REDACTED] has severe pain occasionally. So thanks very much for all you've done today."

"Due to different guidelines (established since 2020, my last one), I will not need colonoscopy for 2more years."

"Changed some medication and check back to see if things are going better in a month."

"I appreciate the timeliness , kindness, Respect, and gentleness with which I was treated."

"Staff conducted themselves with professionalism."

"The waiting time was ridiculous. I had an appointment at 320 and wasn't seen until I mentioned something at 340. The nurse and doctor were perfect."

"I have nothing negative to say about my care @ Mercy or the Doctors, Nurses, and staff @ Mercy Hospital Dubuque.."

"Dr Obbink has a great patient/MD manner...they used to call it " bedside manner"."

"Very informative and courteous Dr."

"Everything very professional"

"Great staff all around!"

"Very caring doctor and nurse."

"Waiting since December for an appointment for February, they were going to push me back until May or June, but I had to go in by myself and request an earlier appointment instead of getting feedback from a referral. And surgery is not until July, so I'm just wondering if this was an emergency. I'm sure something would have been done quicker, and I realize that they probably have a lot of clients that they're seeing, but I just thought it was kind of a long time to wait for an appointment. Okay. Thank you."

"Dr Obbink's nurse was wonderful!!"

"Totally first time in building..... Parked on opposite end of area not knowing where to go.......not familiar with identifying areas at all......but people were great at directions."

"I like the way Medical Associates now comes out into the waiting area and uses your first name as opposed to using your first and last, which really isn't very private. All right."

"Things were handled in a timely manner by a well-trained staff. It all went very well. Thanks."

"The doctor, nurse and staff were all very professional and helpful."

"Dr.Obbink is always the best and trust him with my care."

"I did not receive information that I was needing to make a decision! I felt the doctors nurse was not concerned with my questions on scheduling! She gave a date but no time and would call day before surgery, but, to my understanding date was not for sure! Anyway, I am not sure what is going on!"

"I was in and out very fast didn't take as long as I thought it would very impressed with that"

"Okay but I feel like having a pre op appointment in February is way early if not having my colonoscopy until June. A person's health can change in that time."

"Dr Obbink is one of my favorite doctors"

"Dr. Obbink and his nurses are always very polite. They listen very much to any questions or concerns I may have. I have referred Dr. Obbink to others because he is a great doctor."

"Could have done this 10 min visit on the phone,procedure had to be scheduled 6 mos. out on top of 10 min. Visit."

"Staff were great, helpful and friendly!!"

"Just had a great experience with Dr. Obbink's office. The nurse was, I wish I could remember her name. She was absolutely fantastic. She really knew the process of colonoscopies, very informative and so helpful. And Dr. Obbink was just great. He spent all the time that we needed to to talk about what was coming up. Just top shelf, could not be happier, thank you."
