My visits at Gothenburg Health have been incredible! The girls go out of their way to help and care. Outstanding! They have what it takes. I enter the front door and a wheelchair comes out for me. All through the visit, they are so kind, happy, joyful, helpful, it couldn't get better. It sure makes a difference to me and many others making it easier to visit Gothenburg Health.

Patient

My provider is conscientious about checking on past medical history, past visits related to the current one and drugs. Listens well, easy to visit with.

Patient

My child had a sprained ankle. Everyone at Gothenburg Health were so kind and supportive. Our provider got him x-rayed and fit with a boot without any wait!
