Reviews of Owatonna Hospital (Hospital)

Brenda Shockey

Best maternity ward I’ve ever got to experience.

LeeAnn Janke

I always go here, i have the best Dr. ever Dr. Jason. He knows me like a book. I beleive they are overbooked because its hard to see your Dr. They are usually booking almost 2 mos. out. I dont like the rotation of nurses every 2 weeks. I loved Dr. Jasons nurse, Allison, but she took a different job. I have always gotten quality care its just too hard to get an appointment,but thats the Mayo that took over. 5 stars for my Dr. and 3 f i r the rest

Cold and uncaring. Go elsewhere.

Celes Erickson

Rating only 2 stars because there was a couple nice nurses, & my baby made it out safely. Other then that my experience with the birth center was horrible. I'm a first time mom also, so I didn't know what to do really. First off, they didn't even check up on me, I had to get induced due to a cellulitis infection and gestational hypertension (so they call it but I know I had preeclampsia) I got a high fever and was shaking like crazy and throwing up lucky my mom got there in time and made them check on me and they just upped the pitocin and broke my water when I was dialated only at a 3.. I labored for a good 10-12 hours before they moved me to get a c section for "failure to dialate" I was very weak after but still breastfed and one of the nurses was yelling at me telling me "that's. not how you do it you're supposed to hold him like this" & corrected the way I was holding him! 2nd: I wanted my catheter out and the nurse wouldn't take it out after I repeatedly asked her too because it hurt and I wanted to take a shower. She told me I had to wait on my mom to get there! I had that catheter in for 28 hours and got a few horrible utis right after I got home(never had one in my life prior to that). 3rd: They wouldn't help me get up the day after my c section they said "how are you supposed to take care of a baby if you can't take care of yourself" I had 0 energy to argue or do a thing and was greatful for being alive and for my son to be alive and healthy, but what broke my heart the most is that they didn't even fill out his crib card. I will never be coming back here again & I pray nobody else has to go through this.

I went to the ER for a medical concern I had prior to going on vacation. The Doctor was thorough, thoughtful, and timely. The Doctor explained everything in terms I understood. I have been treated by various ER Doctors in Owatonna over the years. They have always treated me well.

Everyone made it as easy and comfortable as possible.

Good service. Good doctors

I’m being overly generous with the one star. The place is a disorganized mess. How they stay in business is beyond me.

They are extremely understaffed. I was visiting somebody in the hospital, and i noticed there was a box of food sitting on the counter. We went shopping and 4 hours later it was still there. There's never anybody at any of the desks or counters, and the stores are hardly ever open. The halls are empty, and it takes a long time for a nurse to get to your room. But this aside, the hospital is VERY nice, and clean

Rik Blak

Quality caring people dedicated to your healing and well being.

David Davis

Couldn't pay my bill. They incompetently screwed up my insurance and home address too many times.

Michelle Myers

My parents get excellent care there, they would rather go to owatanna than Rochester. No parking fees and your in and out quickly, unless they have to stay overnight due to them both having heart issues. But when they say they will be discharged it's quick. Unlike Rochester where you wait half the day for paper work. Thank you for taking such great care of them!!

Candice Darling

Dr. Floy and Dr. Jones are wonderful providers

Amanda Garcia

I’d give it a zero if I could. I came here through Emergency because this isn’t the hospital I actually go to. But came in because my water broke. (I was 40 weeks & 4 days pregnant). They gave me a test to check if it was my actual water, & when the nurse got the results, it said that yes it was. She sounded confident & supposedly with 30+ years of experience. About an hour later, she comes into my labor room & tells me that she “read it wrong”.. They told me I could go home. Well I went to my appointment at Northfield, & guess what. My water did break & I was low on amniotic fluid. I could’ve lost my baby because of the stupid nurse/hospital. Thank god nothing happened to my baby, but seriously they’re so careless they didn’t care for my baby’s health. I live in town & I have many more reasons why I decided awhile back to never get taken care of in this hospital. They don’t care about you.

The emergency room was great overall the staff were awesome the doctors were rude they also need to learn how to communicate with the family.

Andrew Saulnier

Worst ER experience I've had. The waiting room was empty except for me. It took 30 minutes before I was seen by someone for the pain I had from a kidney stone. The front office staff showed no compassion and the nursing staff wasn't in a hurry to help me with the pain. This is simply a doctor's office for people without a primary care doctor. There was nothing "emergency" about it. Once the pain was under control the doctor that saw me was great. I might not be alive if I actually had a life-threatening problem when I arrived. This facility should be avoided it at all possible. I recommend driving by it to a legitimate emergency room. And be prepared to be gouged with the billing. I am. If I had a true emergency room experience, I'd feel better about the crazy amount they are charging me. Again, avoid this facility if at all possible!

I want to thank the staff at Owatonna hospital for taking such good care of my mother during her brief stay there.
