Tara Holste, DO

"Very nice and caring"

"Excellent staff! Happy to be in such good hands when it comes to my health"

"Dr Hoste addressed my concerns in a comprehensive way. She provided options to heal current concerns and continue in better health as I age."

"Without a doubt the best experience I have ever had with a nurse and doctor. Dr. Holste and Nurse Di were the most amazing women I have had take care of me."

"Dr. Holste and her staff are always very friendly and accommodating. Actually enjoy seeing her. Appreciate the kind treatment from all of them."

"The wait time was fast."

"Nurse Diane excellent!"

"Dr Holste is amazing! She is so kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. I will be recommending her to family and friends. I'm very pleased and happy I chose Dr. Holste. What an wonderful provider!!"

"Wanted husband with me when doctor came in to ask ? He might have had but was asked to leave by nurse before Dr. Came in. I wanted him with me because I don't always remember what is said. Now he is feeling depressed because he did have questions."

"Everyone was very helpful."

"Dr Holste is an amazing doctor. She is always listening to my concerns and giving me helpful advices."

"Bailey, Di and Tara were amazing! Thank you!"

"Dr was very knowledgable. Answered any questions I had. She reasured me about things. She took the time for me. She was awesume."

"While I mostly always have had a good experience at medical associate ob/gyn dept. this visit sticks out.... I went into my appointment after having a rough day, I was grouchy and feeling defeated. Tara Holste and her team changed that for me. Maybe they didn't do anything other than their job but I felt, seen, heard, validated, and cared for. This was just a routine checkup so I know that should I need real medical attention/consultation that I'm in good hands with her and her team. I left her office feeling lighter and turned the rest of my day around. "Who'd-a-thunk" all of needed was a pap-smear for my mood to improve. Jk but there was as something powerful about the feminine experience of being cared for. So thank you."

"Dr. Holste is excellent with patient education and I value that highly."

"She is the best!"

"Everyone was very friendly and efficient"

"Dr Holste and staff are amazing! She always takes the time to listen to any concerns, and never makes you feel like you are just another patient in her schedule. Truly attentive, caring and just an amazing doctor!"

"This doctor was very caring, took the time for me to visit and find out who I was before she gave the exam, gave a great exam. She's amazing."

"Dr. Holste is the best!"

"The online check-in process was very nice. That was efficient. Dr. Holste is absolutely wonderful."

"I called asking if I should postpone my appointment due to getting my period the day before. I spoke with the receptionist who asked a nurse who told her since I was establishing care they would not do a pelvic exam anyways. When I got to the clinic and back to the room the nurse quickly tells me to undress and was going to walk out of the room. I explained the situation and she said "well you can decline but we most definitely do a pelvic and breast exam with your first visit." I just wish everyone would have been on the same page when I had called so I could have rescheduled and not felt like I wasted mine or the providers time. The initial nurse that worked me up didn't seem like she wanted to be there, but Di and Tara were great!"

"I originally made my appointment for March 13 and made it as the same day as another appt. I live near Des Moines so I took off work and drove back thinking both appts were still as I scheduled (and I had checked the portal at some time prior to double check). After receiving the phone notification for one, I wondered why I didn't get a reminder for the other. I checked the portal again and see that without my knowledge or ok, it was moved to a different day. I wasn't going to be in town on that new day so I then had to re-reschedule it. If an appt needs to be changed, that's fine but I should be called so that I can rearrange things according to my schedule and not make a needless trip as I could have rescheduled both of my appts."

"Dr Holste always has the kindest and friendliest nurses. Dr. Holste takes the time needed to go over anything I want and also has the newest research studies to share if interested. I barely notice the actual exam because she makes the appointment about me as a person."

"Dr. Holste and her nurse were very personable, listened to my concerns and explained test results clearly. It was a routine appointment but felt personal!"

"Hi, I would just like to say that Dr. Brock and her nurse, Dai, are absolutely wonderful. They're very professional, very knowledgeable. I have true confidence in their handling of my health care, and I truly appreciate their being there. Thank you, Dr. Brock and Di. Wonderful people. Thank you."

"Dr. Holste is knowledgeable and personable. She answered all of my questions, and offered a treatment regimen to address my issue. She is always kind and a pleasure to see. She takes the time to be sure I understand and feel comfortable with the plan. Her nurse, Di, provided me with clear instructions, and was also very kind and pleasant to deal with."

"I gave my first and last name when checking in for my appointment and was disappointed that the receptionist did not verify any other identifiers (DOB or address, for example) and instead asked generically if there were "any changes." It's too easy to accidentally check the wrong patient in and enter info into the wrong record."

"I would 100% recommend these doctors to anyone!"

"Great experience!"

"Dr. Holste is an amazing gynecologist. She's incredibly attentive and always remembers the little details about my history, even though I only see her once a year. She takes the time to listen and never makes me feel rushed or judged, which means a lot. She creates such a comfortable and respectful environment, and I always leave feeling heard and cared for. I'm very grateful to have her as my doctor and highly recommend her."

"I always look forward to my yearly physical with Dr.Holste. She always listens to my concerns and wants to make sure my health is on the right track. Would recommended her to anyone looking for a OB/GYN provider."

"The doctor and nurses were extremely respectful and curtious. They fit me in same day as I called in. The only downfall was the pharmacy didn't have the prescription and it took a lot of calls faxes, and time to get it switched to what was available. I know everyone is busy, but that was unfortunate with a patient in pain on a Friday afternoon."

"All were very helpful and pleasant and answered my questions thoroughly."

"Dr. Listened to my concerns and took them under consideration"

"Dr. Tara was very informative and it was really a good conversation. It is up to me to decide"

"I always go to this clinic, doctors and staff are always so helpful and efficient. Friendly staff"

"Great experience! I was able to get in the day after I called due to a cancellation. The staff had my chart noted and called me within a couple hours of my first contact saying that they had a couple of openings with a doctor that I was told didn't have anything available until November or December. The nurse was great and Dr. Holste was absolutely excellent and put my mind at ease with the concerns I was coming to be seen for! Thank you!"

"I was in search of a new OB/GYN as mine had retired. Was very pleased this provider was recommended to me. She was very kind, considerate and listened to me and answered my many questions."

"I appreciated the time and support of the staff today to help answer and explain all my questions ect. Very nice and polite. I definitely would recommend!"

"Kind, gentle, a listening ear"

"I have been so impressed and felt so cared for by my typical doctor, Dr. O'Donnell. Yesterday, I saw Dr. Holste. I felt unheard when sharing my concerns, dismissed, and my wishes were not honored. When I asked a question, she responded, "I don't know. I just met you." Her responses were short and dismissive. I would not recommend this provider to another pregnant woman."

"Everyone was very nice and respectful."

"This was my first appointment with Dr Holste and I found her to be thorough, efficient and warm. I also appreciated (and have always appreciated) the assistant, [REDACTED]"
