Essentia Health-Wahpeton Clinic

Edit: you want a doctor that listens and does everything in their power including stepping into different fields of knowledge DR. CHERYL SIMMONS, is the doctor to request. Three years she has fought for me to get the proper care in a field she didn't go to school for, even when I was difficult and even when she knew her effort would be in vain she still put in the effort. Her patients aren't numbers they are humans. For someone who has only ever been treated as a number, she has proven over and over again that she will fight for her patients. I appreciate her. She's great with children even ADHD crazy chaotic kids, she is human just like her patients and one day I hope she gets her little piece of land with her chickens she wants and the garden of her dreams, she deserves nothing but the best. I appreciate you Simmons and my kids absolutely cherish you. Hold your head up you're the best damn doctor we have ever had.

Dr Simmons is the best Dr we have had since moving to North Dakota. She actually listens to my children, she allows them to tell her whats going on with then and how they are feeling. My son is terrified of doctors ( he's a runner). Both my kids are extremely adhd where they do not sit still and are completely overwhelming for anyone who isn't adhd or add. She is so calm and nice to them. Takes very good care with them. She even listens to me when I make suggestions of diagnosis based on my own research, she doesn't shrug it off or make ime seem like I'm a googler and have no idea. She truly listens takes care of her patients and best of all she actually replies on the Mychart. So far she has been the only doctor to help with my ibs, anxiety, and with NY children and doesn't get upset when they touch and bounce around or cry. She is amazing

My daughter went in for stitches today. The care was absolutely amazing from Penny at the front desk who helped get us an emergency appointment, to Berdine the nurse who helped ease all the tension, to Dr. Wasemiller! He was so compassionate and attentive, he explained everything and reassured my little three year old. So so impressed with the amazing care today! Helps with a mom’s peace of mind knowing our babies are taken care of. Thank you so much, essentia! You have some amazing and absolutely crucial staff members!

Love! I decided to try this clinic after having problems with another big name provider. My new Dr is very friendly and upbeat and spends time with me so I don't feel like they are rushing me out the door.

We love this place. Fast , friendly, accurate service .

Great doctors

We brought our child in to be seen for an issue they were having. Even though our child was scared and constantly crying, our nurse Lisa was very friendly and even got our child some stickers and animal crackers. She is a top rate Nurse! I would give 5 stars but when the doctor came in, She was good but got very annoyed with our child crying. (Our child is scared of doctor visits) The doctor we saw seemed to loose patience quite quickly which I can understand but her personality and advice was decent. She did help us temporarily solve the problem so I am thankful overall and would give the doctor a 3 of 5 stars. So the the overall experience I would give is 4 out of 5. Their receptionists were nice and the place was clean.

When we first started going here, almost four years ago, I gave this place a good review. Now, years later, I have been misdiagnosed, ( on serious matters ), a total of three times, and am no longer so happy with it. *There are only two clinics that service these two growing towns, and both of them are always absolutely swamped! The doctors always seem tired and overwhelmed, and very often burnt-out. I do feel sorry for the staff, but screw-ups, and misdiagnosis are common here. BEWARE - just saying.

I give one Star rating because what happened on Friday for my blood taking I understand that they are busy but that's doesn't mean the nurse has to shove the needle into my hand ready fast she didn't take her time with me the guy who works there he takes his time with me and I will go back to him he make it easier when he give me the shot he doesn't shove the needle in my hand he does it slow he knows what he is doing then that other lady i don't know her name but I will always go with that guy

Not recommended! Every time I go in for my child or myself, I am there a minimum of 2 hours, even for the most minor of things. It’s so frustrating! And I strongly question the knowledge of the staff as I’ve seen both doctors and nurses use Wikipedia during our visits to try to treat us. I could have stayed home & done that myself.

The Doctor did as little as possible, the test was negative and prescribed medication that made the problem worst. She kept telling me she can refer a specialist who I realize later works there. Seemed like a scam to make money. I have seen Veterinarians do the same thing. Two months later I go to a Doctor that ran a test and it was positive and gave me medication that helped while more test were ran.

over all the people there are rude break rules had someone brech my info and when it was reported the back the person up i have to follow ever rule yet they dont apply to them not at all ethical but it happen and the right of the person should mean something not to listen to things beside what was wrong with the person going threw a person bag not right 4 amendment right with was violated if they would have ask me without being rough with my laptop maybe i would have not got bent out of shape but like i said they are aloud to do what they want and on top of that they make a false statement that ding a guy up and they wait a month and a half to report it and to top off the fact is i can prove it and it get alot more hairy because of this they are nailing me for disorderly cunduct and now i get to lose my apt because of it after three week of recovering from a miner stroke after being taken to fargo while visit family it was caused by the negligence i use a cane for a week and i still have blance problems i hate to think that a vulnerable adult with some disablity was treated like he was trash the fact are these people should learn to respect people better even if they do have disablity am i just soppose to listen to them tell me over and over that i mentlly ill and need to see a shirnk ok i thank you for everything do what you want but the fact are they go to a great mile to make a guy life a tumoil. thankyou for you time please work on some of these things just because you detroyed my life this last 7 months try to work on with other best regards

I have had a couple different times where I just go in for a shot an sit there for 30-45 minutes. This is just ridiculous. I won't be returning for this very reason. Staff is very slow an rude.
