The University of Iowa Student Health

As a third year student (currently), I have had a couple visits with Student Health. Overall, the staff was very professional and respectful for the majority of visits I've had. Sometimes, depending on the day, the receptionists have been rude/impatient with helping you, and I have seen others say things similar to this.

Tried to call 5 different times and only on the 5th one did I get someone. She was helpful but gave the impression that I was inconveniencing her for having her do her job. They don’t do walk in’s either which really restricts the time you can go in between classes. Go to UI Quick Care instead, they are actually competent

Honestly had both good and bad experiences here. Dr. Johnson does listen to concerns and tries to appease patients. The allergy nurses are the BEST. They are super nice and friendly and make sure they cover all their bases every time so that you are treated properly. Dr. Woodward did not seem to understand my list of allergies and medications though he is the one that runs the allergy clinic. In response to possible STIs or bodily infections they are very good at testing, getting lots of information, and getting back to you typically within 48hrs. They are a little impersonal/harsh/cold when asking questions, especially about STIs and some of the nurses can be quite condescending.... read full review
