Update August 2025: Once again, Dr. Formanek and his staff carefully cared for my 18 year old Amish neighbor. As I sat, listening to the hard words, it was easy to see how relaxed our neighbor was as he listened to the difficult choices before him. Dr. Formanek has a way which allows his patients to trust his knowledge while accepting the options he explains. Winterset is fortunate to have such a kind surgeon on staff. His staff is also easy to work with. They each smile as they calmly provide difficult care. They are well trained and share their love of their job with their patients.

We will tell everyone about the fabulous care he received ♥ Thank you for making this...

They did a great job and I' m all healed up now but would definitely come back. (Even though I hope I don't have a reason...
