  1. Dr. Mironovich, my new doctor, caught that I hadn’t had a colonoscopy for 12 years. After a positive Cologuard, I had a colonoscopy with Dr. Pogorelec. I had two flat polyps which had to be air inflated and clamped, and in the end they …

  2. Divine Death is what this hospital is known as. Very lazy Doctors, Nurses are generally very rude and condescending. The wait times are usually very short because most local people avoid this hospital. Health Care in Wisconsin is terrible …

  3. Took my son in for an abscess tooth at 8pm, the nurse told me it was a canker sore so I asked to speak to a physician. The physician looked it and told me exactly what it was, an abscess tooth. I got my son the medicine he needed. By the time we walked out it was midnight. And $550 later….

  4. Been spending time in the hospital lately, ( both U.W. & Divine Savior) working on getting my health back.
    We all know how they put down smaller hospitals like Divine Savior, and praise …

  5. Dr. Arnold took the time to review my daughter’s record before her appointment. This meant so much to me as a parent to know that Dr. Arnold was that much involved even on my daughter’s first visit.

  6. I recently moved to Portage and with an ailing Father was, asking about hospital and health care. I heard many negative reviews….well to my surprise my father took a bad turn in his health he was transported to Divine Savior and I must …

  7. There’s a reason this hospital is nicknamed Divine Slaughter! When I used to go to their health clinic, they let my pap smear sample expire requiring me to return have another pap smear. When having blood drawn across the hall from the …

  8. I always have good experiences at divine savior, both as a patient and an employee. Everyone is friendly, and I rarely have to wait more than a few minutes past my scheduled appointment time. I also want to add that Laura Noonan and her …

  9. Went into urgent care 3 days after a fall where I slipped on ice and hit my head on a metal chair. All they did was check my arm because that was hurting, however, the main reason I went in was because of my head. Told them of my symptoms …

  10. They are lazy here and say that as a fact. No one was in line during the terrible cold day on Wednesday Jan. 30th. My fiance and I were terribly sick and ventured in all to be told you have the flu so get some rest. They gave us fluids and …

  11. i have been a resident of columbia county for 15 yrs and have had nothing but problems with divine savior. like just now they denied me a covid 19 test to make sure i dont have it and i stressed to them that i may have came into contact with someone that might have it.

  12. Divine Savior serves this community well. And Dr. Krause is hands down the very best endocrinologist I have ever had. I can not say enough good things about her.

  13. My aunt (a nurse) recommended Divine Savior to me when I was having a disappointing experience with a different hospital/clinic at the beginning of my pregnancy. I switched to Divine Savior, and I knew immediately that I was in the right …

  14. Despite being slightly behind schedule when I arrived, Dr. Doherty and her staff made me feel understood, expedited my processing, got additional follow-up scheduled, and got me back to work. The next day they even followed-up with a phone call to check in with me. Thank you Team DSH.

  15. Aspirus staff have been treating me suspected Covid19 while being treated in Sick Clinic they did an EKG along with other tests. The EKG showed I was in Arterial Fibrillation they admitted me. BP was high and Blood Pressure was high they …

  17. I personally don’t go here anymore for a simple reason. I was going to the ER for nearly 3 months, sometimes 2+ times a week for severe ongoing abdomen pains that were virtually crippling. Over the course of nearly 3 months, seeing …

  18. Today I went with my daughter to see if she broke her arm/wrist. After the doctor sent my daughter to get her arm all taken care of she held me back to accuse me of being on impaired substances! I the remembered I forgot to take my …

  19. I went in for a sinus infection. Speedy and a correct diagnosis! Thanks Divine Savior! We have a vacation home in Portage and very happy to have you close to the house!

  20. Took my 5 year old here at 4am for as she was up all night in pain as we were camping 4 hours from home!!MD and nurse were great, quick in and out in one hour. Also had to call back later in the evening as we had issues with the medication …

  21. My wife was recently in to see Dr. Jenkin 2x due to a “female problem.”. She told me how the Dr. listened to her concerns and then did an exam. The Dr then explained the treatment that is recommended. The Dr also did a test and personally …

  22. I visited your er last night. Worst experience of my life. I’ve received better treatment in third world countries. Your “Dr.” Bahr is the rudest most inept person I’ve ever met. Between rolling her eyes constantly and lack of proper …

  23. Dr.Kreckman is the best doctor I’ve ever had. She takes the time to understand you and your problems, she works with you to solve whatever issues you may have. Thank you Dr.Kreckman!

  24. I saw Darcy Steinhorst PA-C for a knee problem she was excellent ,asking allot of questions,a doing a examination she ordered a ex ray and I was referred to a Orthopedic doctor.

  26. Over all everything was great are son is now being treated for an ear infection which we had no idea he had.the doctor looked him over very well and noticed he had an ear infection and was put on antibiotics.

  27. They were able to fit me in quickly and my provider listened to me, was very thorough and included me in my plan of care. Could not have been more satisfied.

  28. I had to use the services of the ER on Wednesday, November 28 and was stressed and concerned about the visit. I needn’t have been. I don’t believe I could have found more compassionate, professional, efficient, thorough care anywhere else, …

  29. They outsource their radiology department billing to a company in Brookfield. I’ve been trying to get a correct statement sent to me since the beginning of July. I’ve spent countless hours on the phone trying to pay them and get a corrected invoice. After this experience we’ll be taking our family elsewhere for care.

  30. Staff is friendly and helpful. Dr. Jill pogorelec is very knowlegable. A great listener. She treats you like a friend. Works with you on a treatment plan that works.

  31. Had my 6 yr old tested for Covid, which was super difficult to do and very traumatic for her. Just got a call telling me she has to be tested again because they messed up labeling the specimen! Incompetence at its finest! I will not put my …

  32. The outreach clinic at Divine Savior has been a great place to see your doctor. Scheduling is effortless, facility is clean and comfy and drs and staff are pleasant, knowledgable and efficient. I took my mom there since it opened and I myself have special drs ther that I drive 45 miles for their care.

  33. Jill Pogorelic is a great Dr. She listens to her patients and really takes the time with you.. Explain’s everything to you and makes the Necessary tests for you. Overall above and beyond care. Highly recommend her as a Doctor.

  34. Dr. Jill Pogorelec is so awesome! Kind and thoughtful are not words people use when speaking about their doctor; but that describes Dr. Jill. She listens to your concerns and she answers your questions — which are two things people look …

  35. This place is bottom of the barrel. Crazy long wait times and rude/uncaring doctors. Avoid Dr. Toijala. Does nothing but roll her eyes and act rushed. Terrible terrible experience.

  36. There’s very few people that I will trust at divine Savior. If you value your life and if you want a accurate diagnosis then go anywhere but divine Savior. The only doctors I trust are either at Dean clinic in Portage or UW Hospital.

  37. Everyone from the scheduler to the NP were friendly and professional. So far I am happy with my choice to transfer my care to Divine Savior Health Care Portage Clinic!

  38. My surgeon is the best! I feel personally blessed to have Dr. Pogorelec come into my life at a critical time in my health care and well being. He is a gifted surgeon and a gifted human being. I will always be grateful.

  39. This hospital is a complete joke took my son to er all they did was look him over literally looked at him said watch him for a few days and I get a bill for 700 dollars for tests that where never ran and a er visit where like I said they …

  40. Laura noonan is a awesome NP!! She takes the time to listen and provides excellent care!! Her medical assistant is awesome as well she makes you feel comfortable and doesn’t rush!

  41. Dr. Omran is very knowledgeable and caring. She is concerned with my wellbeing and willing to send me to specialist when needed. I like that I can now view my healthcare from Divine Savior online and talk with the nurse or schedule appointments.

  42. The doctors, nurses, and staff are caring and compassionate. They make you feel as though you matter as opposed to being just a number. The belief in treating the whole person…body, mind, and soul is part of what makes Divine Savior stand out.

  43. Today, 12/02/2019, I was seen by Lauren Nooman at the Portage clinic. I have never met her before but was pleasantly impressed with her. She was all about getting to know me and my history. She went through the visit very professionally and …

  44. Was a little apprehensive about eye cataract surgery but the staff put me at ease by explaining exactly what the process entailed. First surgery was a huge success and second is scheduled in 2 weeks. Dr. Castrovinci is great. …

  45. My experience with Allysa, RN and Dan RN were extraordinary pre-and post procedure. There was such care and kindness, it restored my faith in medical personnel. Despite the schedule change they had, they took REALLY good care of me through both preparing me and taking care of me afterwards, when I had a lot of pain.

  46. Went in last winter feeling absolutely terrible with cold-like symptoms and was told there wasn’t much they could do for me. Went back to the ER 2 days later feeling even worse and found out it was pneumonia. Fast forward to this week. Went …

  47. I was brought by ambulance after breaking my ankle on nearby Cascade Mountain. Care was immediate, professional yet friendly. The facility is state of the art. I was frankly amazed at the operating room. The orthopedic doctor, Dr …

  48. This is the hospital that is the closest to me. People know there body and know wen something is wrong. They don’t care. I now have to travel alot futher to be seen somewhere else because divine savor is a JOKE!!!! I had to give 1 star …

  49. Dont get me wrong, some doctors here are wonderful like Dr. Kreckman, despite the fact I think they overschedule and over work her. There E.R. though, is completely lacking and pass judgement. Came in via ambulance in emense abdominal pain …

  50. I had a mammogram today, which is not the most pleasant experience, however at Divine Savior it was done quickly and the staff was awesome. Then I had a visit with Dr. Jill Pogorelic and she was wonderful as always. I always feel like she …

  51. Went in with an asthma attack. They sent me from uc to er in minutes. They were so kind and nice. I was a mess. they had me breathing in a short time. The doctor nurse and respiratory …

  52. I had two great experiences with the surgical center so I think that needs to be said first. Which makes how my last procedure went all the more disappointing. …

  53. Even though Dr Kreckman is busy, she always makes me feel like I am her only patient. She takes the time to address all my concerns and is willing to try lifestyle changes before prescribing drugs. The support staff is friendly and efficient. Megan is a sweetheart.

  54. I didn’t know a doctor could kick someone out of the back room for someone making a comment you found it funny and then leave the patient she’s dealing with to go deal and it was another one for making the comment worst experience ever recommend you go to Sauk City or baraboo

  55. I went to see my doctor about my birth control concerns. I was in and out of there in 5 minutes. She didn’t ask me any questions or give me any information. Pretty much “you want it out, okay. You want the patch okay here’s your …

  56. I have gone to Divine Savior Healthcare for a lot of years now. I have always been treated very well by Jill Pogorelec and her staff. I get friendly, prompt and thorough exams and excellent treatment. Thank you DSH for making me feel important and for years of excellent service..

  57. Well when you come to the emergency room you come for help not to suffer more then you already are they do not rush anything terrible sluggish service I couldn’t even walk due to a foot problem!! I would rather pay a ambulance charge to go further away then come to this joke of a place!!

  60. I had my gallbladder out by Josh Pogorelec. He is such a wonderful doctor. Thank you to Katrina and Jessica as my nurses. The care I recieved at Dovine Savior was above what I expected

  61. I have been visiting Divine Savior Healthcare for quite a while now. This was my first visit with Dr. Krause. She was very thorough and made me feel very comfortable. I would recommend her to others who have diabetes and need more help.

  62. I had a very good experience today. There was no waiting, everyone was very friendly and helpful. I enjoy PA Darcy Steinhorst and her nurse; they are very thorough and professional. Ken Manthey

  63. My wife and I recently had our son and I just wanna say the staff in the birthing center were amazing, the nurses were so understanding and caring especially Sara. I can’t speak for the rest of the hospital but the birthing center is top notch. Thank you guys.

  64. Our Doctor is Great she keeps me most of the time healthy. I know there are some things I should be doing like eating right. But I don’t all the time. She could get down on me but she does not. Doctor Jill Thank you for what you do and Hubby to. Rich

  65. I enjoyed my appointment with DSH, Family practice, very much. I felt at ease with a new physician and could understand the doctor patient dialog. Good experience all around.

  66. I had surgery with Dr. Pogorelec last Wednesday and everything from my surgery consult office visit to me getting discharged after surgery was amazing!! The staff here are so caring and really make you feel important just excellent. I highly highly recommend DSH to anyone for their healthcare needs.

  67. Dr. Kelly is amazing. She has done more for me in the last year than my other doctor has done for me in 20 years. Very thorough and not pushing pills. Treatment the way it should be!

  68. ER doctor does not care about patients, it’s really gone downhill since getting bought by Aspirus. Good luck if you go here and expect to be treated like a chart and not a person. Highly not recommended.

  69. Poor service, all they do is act like you want drugs to get high on when you have actual issues this place is one of the worse hospitals I’ve gone to and I’ve been stuck going here all my life and if I could would never come back due to how …

  70. I went in for a simple problem, didn’t even see a doctor then 2 weeks later got none stop calls asking me if I wanted affordable health insurance 3 aday at least.

  71. Me and my family just moved here and went to dr.perez for our newborn and he was great with her. He gave us a good look into what we needed to do and what not to do. I would highly recommend.

  72. Dr Wood is a very caring doctor who took time listening to me. I felt comfortable talking to her. I will continue to use her for my doctor. She addressed all issues and gave me answers

  77. I saw Karen Orr today, Surgical PA that works with Dr. Josh Pogorelec and she is absolutely fantastic! What a good team they make! It was truly a positive experience.

  78. For the most part conditions and service by the hospital is excellent. My family Doctor is exceptional. The only complaint is, do not get sick or try to contact a doctor on Friday or the week end. Also the answering service for callback needs improvement

  79. They provided me with 3 meals per day and kept me safe.The good doctor performed the planned knee replacement surgery and in the process,he found a torn patella tendon ,which he also fixed.I received occupational and physical therapy …

  80. Waiting room is hours long. They do not do their job correctly so you have to come back again to fix what they messed up. Multiple occasions of them keeping me waiting for hours upon hours and than having to come back again and do it all over.

  81. Had appointment today. Everything went very well. Dr Faubert.was knowledgeable and helpful with all my questions. I am planning on using her for my family doctor. She is one of the best.

  85. The staff, nurses and doctors are all very pleasant and helpful. I’ve always been treated as if I’m the only one that is there. Ask a question and you get a good answer.

  86. Still the worst hospital ever! Told me I could bring food. Get there with the food and told I couldn’t take it in. They then ran a test without doctors orders while I was not there, they also told me what my s.o. has infront of the whole waiting lobby. A fight broke out between the nurses. Very unprofessional.

  87. I went to the ER with extreme stomach pain and unable to get in – only because they were so back up with patients – I had to see my regular one Dr Mironovich and her staff were great. They were able to get me in and help me right in the office. – Very happy with the service

  89. We will give the doctors and nurses 5 stars. However, calling to talk to someone or to make an appointment is frustrating. I know with the pandemic, it makes things difficult for staff. However, when we call to make appointments or ask …

  90. As soon as I got home I was bawling my eyes out. Elizabeth Wood was highly dismissive of my poor health and was very rude to me. I’ve heard very good things about her so maybe she was just having a bad day but I deserved better. I …

  91. I had a follow up appointment with Dr Castrovinci, an ophthalmologist at Aspirus Divine Savior Clinic today, and I was very pleased with all aspects of it. He knew I was worried about my vision & was very caring, & eased my mind. He explained everything I asked about, & I left feeling much better with the answers he gave!

  92. I have been going to divine savior since I was a little girl. I hated it then and I hate it now. They claim to strive to be the best but are wrong on many occasions. The only decent ward there is the OB wardm if you have a medical emergency …

  93. Dr. Kreckman is fantastic! She is always so positive and joyful to see. She is so down to earth and east to talk too. Makes going to the doctor not so bad. Her staff is excellent especially Megan! If I could give 10 stars I would..

  94. If I could give a negative number I would. I went to urgent care several weeks ago. Told them it felt like my asthma had flared up. I told them my provider prescribed prednisone when this happened. Chest tightness and OCCASIONAL cough, …

  95. Divine Slaughter is by far one of the worst hospitals in Wisconsin, especially their Emergency Room. There’s a reason why they have a C grade average. They are incompetent and incapable of treating their Covid patients. Sending them home …

  96. Impossible to deal with and completely incompetent. I had appendicitis and they told me it was constipation, gave me laxatives for it. Two days later my appendix ruptured. There’s a multitude of other reasons they’re terrible too, just too many to list.

  97. Doctor kreckman was my original provider for my pregnancy. I had an ultrasound at 5 weeks and it all seemed wrong. Being my third pregnancy I knew having an ultrasound at 5 weeks would be too early. She scheduled it anyway and I went. The …

  98. The women working at the hospital registration seemed confused as one had me walk to the radiology desk for them to put an order in the computer system. The same registration clerk was incredibly disrespectful to another customer while I …

  99. Called to schedule an appointment at 7:20 am on February 1st for an allergic reaction to a tattoo and had the phone answered by Stacy. I called 3 times. The first time, she didn’t let me speak whatsoever and hung up on me straight away. The …

  100. The care I received was great. It was a busy night and they did everything they could to make sure I wasn’t in much pain. Dr. Murphy was very caring. Couldn’t have asked for better care.

  101. Only issue I have at this hospital is the urgent care.. walked in, got my daughter checked in. And for done reason I said I’m a little early for urgent care. And the lady tells me this isn’t urgent care. You mean to tell me ALL THE SIGNS …

  102. Customer service is non-existent since Aspirus took over. If I can’t trust them to care enough to update phone messages and make sure correct information is being given how can they be trusted to be accurate and careful with my medical …

  103. Registration, students, and doctors seem clueless about how to provide quality support and are unable to record information accurately. I would not trust them with my healthcare.

  104. I give the ER bad review
    Hubby had fingers practically cut off farm accident. We get in there left him sit for 2 hrs bleeding fingers. To me that’s emergency

  105. Katie Murphy is the rudest doctor I have ever had. She belittled me and sincerely didn’t care about my well being. Truly an awful experience here. I wish an Aurora hospital was an option at the time.

  106. Your registration desk is terrible every time I call the Wausau hub I get sent to a number that I need to call the local Clinic which is Portage then when I call that number I get sent to an operator that says hold please and then send me …

  107. I’m VERY happy with Dr Arnold. He listens and his kindness is welcomed!! When you don’t feel well and you get an unkind person (especially in a medical situation) you don’t need unkindness!! No one needs that in any situation but somehow …

  108. I have been going here for 10 years. Had surgery and x-rays etc. My doctor that I was seeing for years quit. Now I am called a “new patient” and they are not accepting any new patients at all ! So despite the 10 year history of going …
