We said no and that I had cut my hand and it would not stop bleeding. They said that they would try to get me in but it could take up to an hour. After checking in, I was seen with 10 minutes.

I first met Sheila Wettlaufer through Salem Clinic in the 90s. My doctor had left the clinic and…read morethey didn't have another doctor to take her place, so for a short time we saw Sheila for any appointments. Sheila was the kindest woman I had ever met!!! My previous doctor's position was filled and I began seeing that doctor. I was a patient at Salem Clinic all the way into my adult years, I saw an OB/Gyn there when I was pregnant and my daughter and I remained patients with their Family Practice until she was in elementary school. I hated getting moved around from doctor to doctor, they never had time to really get to know us and at every appointment we were asked if we were new patients. I decided I needed to switch. I looked and looked through the list of providers that accepted my insurance and saw Sheila. I instantly called and got set up for a new patient appointment. Shortly after I switched my daughter to her. My mom left Salem Clinic and moved to Sheila, my sisters switched, and I recently switched my stepdaughter to her as well. I've been seeing Sheila now for at least 10 years and I would not change her for the world. My only reason for giving 4 stars instead of 5 is the recent change in receptionist. The previous receptionist was kind and wonderful, but the new gal seems to struggle picking up the job.

After reading the previous reviews I felt that I had to speak up. I first met Sheila at Urgent Care…read morethrough Salem Clinic. She took great care of me and explained exactly what was wrong and how to manage it. (I had an infected spider bite.) When she opened her own practice I made the decision to change my adult disabled kids to her practice. When you deal with a disability you need to be able to reach your doctor and not be given the "run around". My children had been cared for by Dr. James Lace for years and had actually "aged out!" of his pediatric practice. I was terrified knowing that they would have to get in line at a huge clinic where you never really get to know the staff. The level of comfort that my kids feel at Sheila's office can't be matched. It's a small clinic and we are all on a first name basis. Sheila has been extremely careful and through with her treatment of both of my children. She has "gone to bat" for us with insurance issues and has made sure that "no stone is left unturned" when it comes to their care. I can't imagine her "inviting a man to her home for dinner...I'm guessing her husband might mind! :)" although perhaps she extended the invitation out of some personal concern which I'm not aware of. Needless to say, I would most definitely refer others to Mill Creek Family Medicine. Do we have LONG waits at times? Absolutely. I have LONG waits when I myself am seen at Salem Clinic. I have EXTREMELY long waits at Salem Hospital. That being said, I'm guessing that my kids and I are waiting since she is taking the needed time to deal with the patient prior to us. She NEVER rushes us and ALWAYS takes time to answer all of my questions and address my concerns. If you want one on one service from your provider, without feeling like you are "just a number" then Mill Creek Family is a great place for your family health care.

The quality of my experience here contrasts so starkly from other experiences that I really needed to encourage others to consider care here!

ZoomCare fortunately takes my insurance (Providence), so I made an appointment for the next day. I teach communication skills to health care providers so am usually not too impressed when I have to interact with the health care system myself - but I had a great experience at ZoomCare! I was shown into an exam room as soon as I walked in, and I saw Erin, a nurse practitioner; she was empathic, warm, and collaborative. She shared her thoughts and recommendations regarding my options and asked what I wanted to do. We decided on a chest x-ray; she immediately printed out a referral form and they sent me over to Salem Radiology after a minute-long check-out process. When I got home, I was able to log on to ZoomCare to see my visit summary and notes, and there was an option to email the provider if I had any follow-up questions. So glad this place exists - hope I don't need to go again anytime soon, but it's good to know that it's there if needed. 3/20/23 update: I was back with another issue and saw a different practitioner, Joe; had yet another excellent experience (well, as excellent as a visit to urgent care can be). I didn't have child care so brought my toddler along with me, and they were 100% cool with that. I needed a prescription and was dreading rushing to a pharmacy with my daughter and trying to rush back home for work, but they had what I needed on hand, so no extra trip needed! (Note that it's not a fully-stocked pharmacy - the last time I was there they didn't have the OTC and prescription stuff I needed, but fortunately they did this time.)

Dr. Cortal came and asked me to leave because I was sick and had a fever. I was not sick and temperate was slight as I had a winter hat on my head. I had also already been vaccinated for Covid. I am now in New York and she denied any refill until I can establish care in New York. Ridiculou, it's hard to establish care so quickly. I am very disappointed in her care.

Just walked in, no call ahead, and they had me in an examination room within 30 minutes with an able and courteous nurse. One D.O. was on duty and had to bounce around between patients, putting out brush fires--I get that. Dr. Brown has a jokey bedside manner, which I dislike intensely, but I was civil. He seemed capable when he focussed. Dr. Vallejo (sp?--he seemed of oriental extraction) examined me the next day for possible neurological damage and had an efficient and dignified bedside manner. When you don't laugh at Dr. Brown's silly jokes, he seems to acquire an animus. He had his nurse remove the stitches and said over his shoulder that if any were left in place, "they'd just fall out." In fact, I did have to remove some missed stitches when I got home. I have been told by other professionals that forgotten stitches, once wetted, can become deep infection courts. Cost was only a little over $265 for three visits, which I consider good value. However when I checked out for good, I told the receptionist that I would settle all charges right then. She told me I was paid up with them--but I got a $65 bill in the mail some days later. Probably just a failure to explain their SOP, but leaves a bad taste.
