My voice was especially weak, and I could barely speak or sing without much pain. Finding Shelby Bjorlie turned out to be the answer to my problems. Ms, Bjorlie spent lots of time to fully understand my issues, and created targeted exercises and methods to help me regain the full use of my voice. Not only was my throat and jaw pain 95% better in a relatively short period of time, I could again speak and sing without pain. My treatment involved no drugs, only training myself to maintain proper posture, to find my true register using specific exercises, to schedule voice rests, to hydrate regularly and to use a humidifier strategically. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ms. Bjorlie to others who need professional intervention, and will definitely call upon her again myself in the future, if needed.

But the staff with her persistence took very good care of her all the CNA's don , Chris and Natalie and the nursing staff Carolyn and the others were really great after a couple of months she started going and doing crafts playing bingo and other card games and she really starting to have a lot of fun everybody from the owners who are very nice ladies all three of them , The director of admissions Elaine Spielberg the two ladies in the financial office Betty and Renee , All great and caring people I would highly suggest if you have somewhere you have to put your loved ones Fleshers would be the place thanks to all the staff and everybody that made my mom's last days bearable thank you so much I love all of you

With OMT my sciatic pain became history; a hydro-dissection took care of the radial nerve and ESWT (shockwave therapy) is working on my lower back pain.

I highly recommend taking the time to talk with Dr. Pinkston, in a one on one consult (a $100 fee that is credited to your first treatment) to see what he would suggest as treatment for your aches and pains. It is so worth the investment!

Horrible referral coordination system. My parent is a former client there. He received in home…read morenursing support In 2024. He improved & his case was closed. A new issue arose (regarding wound care) & his doctor sent a referral for in home nursing again. We waited for a call, with no response, so the doctor sent in another referral. Still no response from them to schedule. My father called CarePartners directly, with referral services noting that they no longer have the staff to work in Fairview, NC. That is fine, staffing is an issue. However, how can a medical provider (of essential home based services to an elderly individual), not call (after 2 MD referrals), to say "I am sorry, we don't have the staff to provide in home nursing support in your area currently"? If you can get care from CarePartners that's great. But, they don't seem to do any follow up outreach (while needy patients are waiting) to tell you they don't have the staff.

Care Partners supplies medical equipment to Mission Hospital in Asheville, NC. I received a large bill for two prosthetic devices that I thought would be covered under my insurance as I broke my ankle and had been out of network. I had to call several times to get them to bill my insurance, and when I called, they noted that they hadn't received that information. After several tries, they did forward to my insurance, who unfortunately​ did not cover the items, despite the fact that I had received them in an emergency situation. I questioned the bill because I couldn't believe I was charged $145 for a $14.50 device, and they showed absolutely no compassion, instead charged me the full price and wouldn't budge. They kept focusing on the financial agreement that I had signed in my doctor's office when I was in pain from a broken ankle. I explained my frustration about the medical industry and the lack of access to affordable health care and asked for a discount​​, since I would be paying cash and I was currently not working. They threatened to hang up on me and so I finally caved in and paid the bill in full, again being taken advantage of by a health care system that has no interest in providing affordable services to those out of work. I feel terrible that I was forced to pay this bill, because otherwise, they would have sent it to a collection agency.
