I realized I would need some professional help getting it out. A quick survey of urgent care in the valley didn't have a lot of options on a Saturday. But Glacier Medical Associates stood out like a good option. The front desk was able to confirm they would be able to help remove the hook and checked me in. The medical staff got me situated and Dr Maaliki came in with a plan. I ended up fainting during the procedure, but the crew handled it no problem. I ended up walking out with my fly in a jar and not in my hand. I would recommend going to Glacier Medical Associates for your urgent needs.

This is ridiculous service!

Dr. Coleman is beyond amazing! She's proven to be a skilled, knowledgeable, friendly and…read morecompassionate doctor. When you have an appointment, you have her full attention as long as necessary. I never feel rushed, and she is expert at digging into all past and current concerns and making connections between symptoms. Knowing that I can get just about any minor health issue taken care, from addressing cold symptoms to needing stitches, is priceless. Annual exams actually feel friendly and thorough, rather than the sprint to take a pap smear, schedule labs elsewhere, and get the exam room ready for the next seven minute appointment that I've always experienced in the past. Also, Dr. Coleman is able to save me a ton on labs and medications that are typically stupid expensive through my insurance. Finally, it is incredibly refreshing to call or text my doctor directly when I just have a quick question, rather than going through office personnel. I have absolutely no qualms referring all my friends and family to her!

Please do not go to Dr. Nargi if you are non-binary or looking for a reduction!…read more Below is the formal complaint I made to the Montana Board of Medical Examiners after trying to handle my complaint directly with Dr. Nargi and her clinic coordinator, Tiffany. To whom it may concern, I had a consultation with Dr. Nargi in January of 2020 for a breast reduction to manage my condition of macromastia. My breasts significantly decreasing in my quality of life by; causing tension headaches at a frequency of four to six times a week, jaw and lower back pain, severe body dysmorphia, and anxiety. Although I am unsure of my original cup size (as I couldn't wear bras) I believe I was around an F or G cup (see attached photos). I mentioned to her that I had considered FTM top surgery and am non-binary but I wasn't sure about total loss of sensation. She said that we could do top surgery but also a very large reduction. Dr. Nargi, when asked if she could get me to a B-cup, assured me that my surgery goal was realistic and could be completed. On February 11th, 2020, I had a breast reduction for which I paid $5,733.00 (see included receipt) and with the knowledge that Whitefish Plastic Surgery doesn't do prior authorizations and I would have to request insurance coverage later. I woke up from that surgery as an E (see attached post op photos). I immediately made my dissatisfaction known to the provider, Dr. Nargi assured me that the swelling would take weeks to go down. In my two week and four week the same was repeated. After the four week post op, she scheduled a six month and told me that sometimes it can take that long time for the swelling to go down. At my six month, I was the same size. When I confronted Dr. Nargi about the discrepancy, she admitted that she had told me that I would get to a B and that my goal was surgically feasible. When I asked why it didn't happen, she replied, "I don't know." Dr. Nargi offered another surgery for only the cost of the surgical bra. I clarified with her again that my original goal was realistic, she confirmed. On August 20th, 2020, I had another breast reduction performed by Dr. Nargi (also in her clinic under local anesthesia) and reminded her one last time while she was marking me that I'd like to be so small "a sports bra could make me flat chested". When she walked out, my mother, Pamela Roth, asked if I wanted a mirror to see where she marked and warned me that she did not think it was enough tissue. I declined, believing that there would be no way Dr. Nargi would do it again. And I woke up from that surgery at a DD. I also had a post op infection and had to have the stitches pulled out as they did not dissolve and grew out of my breast tissue for six weeks after the procedure. At this point, I went to my last post op and didn't say anything else as I was not willing to have a third surgery under her. A previous patient of hers that I worked with also confided in me that although her breast appearance was great, she did not reach her reduction goal either with Dr. Nargi- she was looking at going to a different surgeon as well. My insurance also declined to cover the surgery, citing that lack of tissue taken making it a purely cosmetic procedure. In the two years since, I have had to continue to pay for Chiropractic care and massage therapy out of pocket (please see attached documentation). I have had episodes of disordered eating in order to make my breasts smaller as well as over-exercising and starvation. I have also had emergency room visits for migraines and pinched nerves in my neck. The most recent of which resulted in my primary care Doctor, Ivory Drendel, making a physical therapy referral and I have been going two times a week. Recently, with the help of my therapist, I have set another appointment at Lift Plastic Surgery in Missoula. I sent a letter to Dr. Nargi explaining my disappointment and asking for a refund to put towards the cost of my upcoming surgery. Dr. Nargi and her staff maintain that my surgical goal was reached and no wrongdoing was committed. Included in this packet are those emails as well. Dr. Nargi, for some reason, decided that I would look better with larger breasts regardless of my gender identity, diagnoses, pain, and personal request for my surgical goal. No one is immune from bias and my goal is that Dr. Nargi be educated on her own bias and non-binary healthcare to prevent another patient from having to go through what I went through.

There were 3 people who came in AFTER me and they got to them before me. I'm not one to usually complain or go out of my way but it's disappointing to drive all the way to whitefish out of my way because Kalispell is awful and still get the same treatment. My daughter was born in whitefish hospital and the care has always been so good up until now that's why we chose it. But it seems just like every other company in the valley it's all corporate and no longer entirely focused on patient care.

I had been suffering with extreme pain from osteoarthritis in both hips when I had an appointment…read morewith Dr. Makman at this office. I waited over a month for this appointment and had to pay out of my pocket as I had no insurance at the time. Dr. Makman acted like I was there for only one thing: drugs. He offered me injections, that might or might not work, and were over $1,000 each and their office would have been happy to finance them for me. He refused to discuss any kind of medication or other options for dealing with my pain. Two weeks later I was on the phone with a friend who told me about an anti-inflammatory called diclofenac (usually sold as arthrotec) that had helped with her pain a lot. I went to my GP and asked him if I could try this drug. He agreed and within 24 hours my pain had lessened by at least 80%. I was on the verge of being disabled and had already had to leave one job because it was too physical. I left their office in tears and disgust and feeling like I had been treated like a second-class citizen (no insurance) or a drug-seeker - neither of which I am. I don't know what their deal is here but I'm getting ready to make a lot of noise about them and the Montana Center for Wellness and Pain Management where I had a similarly disgusting experience. I believe these people are nothing but crooks.

A piece id say the size of an almond and 11 stitches later it was gone and margins were clear. She did a great job it was right on my left arm on top. Probably from resting it in the car window while driving. I don't know but glad it wasn't worse. I have a 6 mos follow up for more checking.
