The Best 18 MEDICAL SERVICES near Okanogan, WA (Part 2)

April Titus I waited for 5 hrs to be seen being passed up by people that didnt look like they had any problems. I have frozen shoulder which cause another of pain and complete loss of motion or movement and yet still kept being passed over like I wasnt there i was there at 5 pm didnt get out til 11:30pm. But the staff I had when I finally got in where pretty nice. I did get some relief so I could function again in some ways.

Loren Michael While in the ER, myself and my husband noticed that the head nurse had a horrible bed side manner. I also checked with my doctors nurse about taking ibuprofen, they said no . Maybe aspirin and thats it. I try to follow my doctors instructions. If I didnt then I would be an idiot. The doctors bedside manner also lacked compassion for the patient and family members.I didnt feel confident with your staff.

Marissa Haigh Our little conure was attacked by our African Gray parrot around her beak on Saturday. I was able to clean her up and stop the bleeding but she was having difficulty eating and drinking even though she was trying. Dr Tuttle allowed us to get her in before she started seeing patients and mixed together an antibiotic, pain reliever, and vitamins, gave us some baby bird feed and baby food to start her off with (getting baby bird feed is nearly impossible around here you have to special order it). This isn’t the first time Dr Tuttle has helped us with our emergencies. When we had our pet pig she was the only vet within 130 miles of us (agricultural area too) that would see her when she was sick. We appreciate her willingness to save or try to save our fur/feather babes without hesitation.

Primary Account Their priority is payment. They are not honest about their costs. They expect the customers to cross-out options on the estimate despite verbal communications of what to do and not to do. They are not interested in resolving professionally. Will not return.

David Hodgin Gregory from Omak WA stopped by today. He was kind, professional and helpful. We are pleased.

Misty Dellinger Thank you all for taking good care of my mom Gregg was great and very patient with us and hospital

Tina Fiolleau I never had a doctor for 7 years other wise pretty healthy ,got accepted by dr . Sidhu and thank heavens I did she is very thorough , answers your questions and investigates and looks into things , I found out things that I would have never known if it wasn’t for her Very professional and knows her stuff !

susan shillitto I recently had back surgery in Vancouver and I called Dr.Devries immediately when I got home and booked an appointment to have my staples removed. One day before my appointment, I get a call saying he would not accept me as a patient (I have been a patient and seen him 4 or 5 times in the past 2 years). I was told to drive to Penticton and go to a “walk-in”. (The day before they had to be removed). Incredibly disrespect, It would have taken him 10 minutes max. I will have difficulty driving 45 minutes with back surgery very recent. I am appalled at the rudeness of it all. Seriously?

Tara H Been to Chelan Hospital for emergencies and blood work and every time have been met with personal and professional attention. When an emergency calls for transfer to another larger hospital, with surgeons on call, they make it happen. 4 star because in fact they don’t have emergency surgeon on call and it’s another step to be taken to a different location. We have really appreciated this facility and its staff and Dr’s.

Stephanie Tordini I came here in severe chest and epigastric pain and thankfully my EKG was normal. They prescribed meds for my dx and a UTI but did NOT do any blood work, did not do any IV hydration even though I stated I was severely dehydrated and experiencing nausea and vomiting every day. They refused to give ANYTHING for pain. I went in with pain and left in almost the same amount of pain. Very disappointed in this hospital.

Allison Stam I appreciate the care I received at Mid Valley Hospital. The male nurse, I wish I remembered his name, had the best bed side manner and compassion. I was in excruciating pain, and he brought down my blood pressure and pain level within what seemed minutes. Dr. Thill was also amazing. I was provided the best timely care and left with a very thorough, complete discharge plan. Thank you so much for what you do, MV medical team. I knew I was in great hands!

Jay Kratz I dont think having people who are in pain and not sure what is going on with theirs bodies in lobby waiting for care for 5 hrs is acceptable that experience sucked I was scared and no one came out to check on anybody and to have people behind the glass just ignoring people is not ok either I came there hoping to have great care from the very beginning that didnt happen. To ladies in the back that did help me thank you very kind and helpful. Ill make sure next time I need medical help to go somewhere else if this is the kind care we get in this valley

Kathy Wilcox I was at the ER from 9 to 8 with my sister, and there are a few things I’ll address here. Also, I’m writing a letter of concern to the administrator. I was in the room when Nurse Evelynn wanted a urine sample from my sister, who was in a lot of pain, and asked if she could pee in a cup instead of having a catheter. Evelynn brought in a urine sample cup and cleaning pad. I brought the sample out to a nurse and gave it to her. When the doctor asked about that the nurse said my sister refused having a cathitar and was called a liar. I was there and thats exactly what happen. The nurse didnt tell the truth. Older people in pain and handicap shouldnt be made fun of by the doctors. Dr Biancarelli told my sister to get in your wheelchair and get your catscan and made remarks about her solid pads and wet blankets, you can also clean yourself up. Then he said I have all these witnesses so you can’t go back on your catscan. This is acceptable. My sister is very thin no teeth and no not a druggie but has had lots of broken bones, and burned. The first doctor before shift change jumped back with my sisters hand almost touched his arm. Treat people like they are a walking leach!!! I got home and told my husband -Never let me go to that hospital.

vida con rebeca perez There are two racist nurses who took care of my husband and talking about us and where is their ethics of Nurses as well as they should not work I will do everything possible that they no longer work

Maisy Ward Ive had a lot of health issues throughout my life and have interacted with MANY different medical providers and have had a lot of dreadful, uncaring interactions. I honestly have to say that The Tonasket Family Health Center is the most caring clinic I have ever been to. Everyone at the clinic makes sure that you are well taken care of, safe and understand what is going on. If something is a problem they work with you until it is resolved. I personally am very greatful for everyone there.

alicia mcpeak Absolutely terrible. I am a type1 diabetic and have cirrhosis. After 1 visit to Dr. Redmond just to get refill because we are new she got blood work back to say everything is fine (I know it is because I monitor myself and had good doctors before coming here) to now trying to change all my medicans BEFORE HAVING MY RECORDS BACKand not even address what I even went for. 3 weeks later and i still have not got my prescription! THE office is just as terrible as her! Oh I forgot the office even called and tried to get me to come in just to bill my insurance just to tell me she still hasnt received my medical records back yet. It was terrible and I wont be going back. Waste of time!

Allison Ella Viaja Ive left two messages in the past two days attempting to set an emergency dental appointment and have not received a call back, which creates a lack of trust in providers and confidence in medical services, should they ever be rendered.

C S Friendly staff and a painless tooth extraction and in record time, thanks again.

paul harm Dr. Turpin is probably the most thorough Doc I have ever had. Feel lucky to get such a good doc in such a small town. I would recommend for sure.

Ilya Gorelkin Really kind and helpful nurses and staff. Checked in very quickly. Great doctor - patient, knowledgeable and explained everything. Highly recommend!

R H Huge thanks and respects to all who serve in the Oliver hospital, thanks a million to you all. Shame and disgrace on BC government for their incompetance and lies, they could import thousands of well trained doctors from the world, many many want to come and practice in Canada, BC in particular. All politicians have doctors and access to full medical assistance and hospitals, vast numbers of BC citizens do not.

Amar Alexandra Bari Would it kill this place of business to show any sense of urgency for when you are dealing with an emergency such as your baby having chest pains ?

Shawnee Fleming Two hours for two child visits that could easily be shorter. Literally up to the minute two hours exact. The student there asked my kid personal questions that he had no business asking like if she had friends if she was good at reading and writing math, asked what she did after school as a hobby, that’s not his business we are switching doctors to confluence.

Ken Buska I like the staff but its frustrating that you have a three month waiting period for an appointment or wait hours in the walk in. To be fair the alternatives arent any better. General practice in this geographic area isnt great.

carol carlson my experience with Nancy Espelin, PAC was horrible she does not listen to anything you say and you will have to repeat your self Nemours times. she will ask you the same question over and over before she actually hears your answer. Oh and she thinks she knows how you are feeling and does not listen to you about how you feel or she will dismiss what you say. As if you dont feel what you feel.

Donna Hale Ive seen two Physicians Assistants, Nancy Espelin and Mandy Segars, at FHC and both of them were so thorough and caring. They really listened to me and took the time to get some history on my health and give me helpful suggestions to manage the issues. I was very pleased.

Lil Poet They slipped up no more text reminders no help with MyChart no call backs thinking bout changing Drs

Clint Fisher No privacy in waiting room, well hallway, is more accurate. Long wait for essential services like mammograms. Very bureaucratic! They do offer free coffee while you wait.

Rhiannoa Boyle The staff is amazing. Hands down 5/5. But DO NOT buy your frames here. They have a pair of frames listed at $300 that I really liked and almost bought but no purchase plans, no flexibility. The charges START there at $300 and they upcharge for your prescription. That same pair I wanted down the the exact specifications from the same brand and manufacturer can be bought online for $49.99. I might have actually bought from them if they had purchase plans or even an online store to show their inventory and allow me to try glasses on from the comfort of my home with online try on options. Or any additional added value for their consumer. ALWAYS research your products before committing. Dont get swindled.

Erik Grove Their eye doctors are generally pretty nice and the eye exams are pretty thorough and effective. Ive been coming here since I was a kid. However once you have done an exam they do not like to provide you with your prescription to buy glasses from any other sources. This becomes even more difficult if some time has passed since your last exam, Its been almost two years and the lady refused to give me my prescription over the phone or email and said I had to have it mailed to me. After telling me it was a state law that I had to have a new exam. (It is not a law) long story short I broke my only glasses and needed a quick replacement to cover me until my next exam. But the lady I spoke with seemed to only be interested in charging me more and making me wait for the help I needed. Do to this huge inconvenience it looks like Ill be looking for an alternative eye doctor.
