UnityPoint Health - Meriter - Fitchburg Clinic

“My girlfriend went here for a physical and was asked how she was doing overall and she talked briefly about some mental/emotional things that were happening lately. She was then charged without being told for an “office visit” that was “outside the bounds of a normal physical” which she has to pay out of pocket. To charge someone for a brief talk when she was not treated for anything is ridiculous. Do not go to this location, they will rob you.”

“I saw Dr Rustad today. She was very pleasant and thorough. It was my annual physical. Would highly recommend Dr Rustad.”

“I went in for a meet and greet with Dr. Rustad. This should have been a half hour tops. She would *not* stop talking for almost 2 hours. Then ordered "standard annual" lab work. Afterwards I received a bill for over $300 just for labs. I have been fighting this bill now for over 5 months and finally was told by my insurance that they will cover it if the doctor changes the coding. I have called her clinic multiple times, My Chart messaged, and had billing reach out to her office. She REFUSES to return anyone's message and refuses to engage in this conversation at all. Purposely violating my patient rights for the sake of her ego. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. She cares about herself and herself only. All this for what should have been a completely free visit.”

“I'm baffled as to the bad reviews for this clinic. I have had only wonderful experiences from the staff checking me in, to the nurses and most certainly with Dr Martin Foster. I can honestly say that in my many years of seeing physicians, PA's and NP's, Dr. Cheryl is the best and most thorough doctor I've ever had. I consider myself luck that I have her taking care of all my needs and feel like I'm getting the finest and most considerate care possible.”
