Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Most intelligent and kind OBGYN
I have been a patient of Dr. Sterbutzel’s for a couple of years, since he joined Great River Obgyn. He is a blessing. If it wasn’t for him, I would have never known that I have low fertility levels and he sent me to see a RE right away. Not only is he is the kindest, most compassionate doctor, he is great at diagnosing conditions. He genuinely cares about his patients and always responses quickly to any concerns that may arise . He has been with me through fertility, pregnancy and pregnancy lose . I am so fortunate I found the best OBGYN.

Most amazing Dr! This man drove 100mph on the freeway to come give me an emergency c section Due to HELLP syndrome and saved my life! Even though he wasn’t even my IV. If it weren’t for him I wouldn’t be here today and neither would my son who was born at 28 weeks. I’m so thankful for this man! And am so appreciative of the care I received after My surgery from him as well. I enjoyed his humor and kindness. He did a wonderful job with my incision and stitching me up, It has healed very nicely, thank you! I’m so blessed that he was on call that day!

I didn't think it would be possible for anyone to make me smile, let alone laugh and feel as if I was going to survive- but Dr. Sterbutzel did. I met Dr. Sterbutzel in the ER and from the moment I came under his care I began to improve until now, and I'm almost completely 100% again. He really knows what he's doing. You can feel assured he will do everything he can for you. And, he's down to earth and amusing. He really listens when you talk to him. He doesn't judge you. And he will repeat himself as many times as necessary to make sure you understand. Really a patient person. He also works closely with his partner and his nurses, you can tell, and they all work in harmony. You'll feel safe with them.

I been having doctors who do nothing but try to rush me out of the room to get to the next patient not even concerned with helping me. Dr. Sterbutzel spent the proper time talking to me, listening, and providing great feedback. He cares for his patients well being. Over all the staff is very friendly and clean. I will definitely be a returning patient.
