I know the examination could be done without causing that much pain, because the ER doctor did it. I do not recommend this provider.

I feel obligated to share my experience so others can make informed decisions…read more I went to Sterling Health Care feeling very ill and specifically requested a rapid strep test because I believed I had an infection. Before I even saw the provider, the nurse took thorough notes documenting all of my symptoms, including that I had experienced a fever as high as 103°F. Despite that information, the provider repeatedly suggested my symptoms were "just allergies." He did not examine my ears, did not listen to my heart or lungs, and did not perform what I would consider a thorough physical examination. I had to insist that a throat culture be sent because I didn't feel my concerns were being taken seriously. Two days later, I learned that I was positive for Influenza A. Because I continued to get worse, I sought care from another urgent care provider. During that visit, I received a comprehensive examination and was immediately diagnosed with a massive ear infection and bacterial conjunctivitis, conditions that had been completely missed during my visit to Sterling Health Care. I was finally started on the appropriate treatment. And despite it all, Sterling insisted that I follow their antibiotic treatment over the other urgent care's treatment. I informed Sterling that I didn't trust them with my healthcare at that point. I understand that not every illness can be diagnosed immediately and that medicine is not perfect. My concern is not that the initial diagnosis was wrong. My concern is that the evaluation felt incomplete from the beginning. Patients deserve to be heard, thoroughly examined, and have their symptoms considered before being told they're dealing with allergies. And despite me telling the provider I had just returned from a trip to NYC, he was still insistent that it was allergies. I hope Sterling Health Care uses this as an opportunity to reinforce the importance of listening to patients, reviewing nursing documentation, and performing complete examinations. Unfortunately, based on my experience, I cannot recommend this clinic.

While appropriate medical steps were taken, I experienced communication from PA James Brinkman, PA-C that felt condescending and not trauma-informed during an already very painful situation. A comment made during the procedure left me feeling upset and in tears due to the level of pain I was experiencing and the tone used. I believe patient communication and bedside manner are an important part of care, especially in acute pain situations. Based on this experience, I will consider seeking care at other facilities in the future.

No doctors, all physicians' assistants, at the ER!Started at urgent care, but the nurse was in charge of taking the X-rays. The nurse expressed concern about being able to get the X-rays done. Okay, you're clearly not trained to do this role. Instead of focusing on saving money by having lower skilled employees doing the job, give quality care, with appropriate staff. I never would have gone to the ER if the urgent care staff was appropriately staffed, with an X Ray technician. I didn't want to have my family member endure extra pain, and additional X-rays, if the nurse couldn't correctly take the X-rays. Clearly an administrative problem. Staff was kind. I'm hoping they do the right thing and adjust the charges. Any charge should be attached to a service provided, not just you went to the ER and saw a Physician's assistant for less than 10 minutes. Ridiculous! Make it right, St. Al's.

So, it was nice to have a 5 minute drive to my appointment since this office is down the road from me. The receptionist here is so nice! The downtown location should take a couple lessons from the Eagle location. The receptionist smiled at me. She was kind asking me my general check in questions. She had personality. These basic skills are lacked in 90% of the people who work in registration downtown. If I can have all my appointments here, I would. I hung out in the waiting area till it was my turn. Zach, the imaging tech called me back to the scanning room. He went through the process of the scan with me and guided on how my properly lay on the scan machine. He had me position my legs differently for a couple scans. And before I knew it, I was done. It was quite an easy process which was nice. My other appointments require getting poked at. The Eagle office is night and day compared to Downtown. They are so nice here. It's a smaller facility with an Urgent Care unit which is nice for non emergency visits. It bums me out that I have to deal with the rude receptionists and security check in staff when I'm Downtown. But it was nice to see how the other half are treated at this location. I will have to get more appointments fulfilled here. I leave happy which is nice.

I came to this location last year for my flu shot as well, and both times were very easy. They already had my records and my insurance was current. They did not have to collect a co-pay so check-in was a breeze. There was two other people waiting and they were called back quickly. I waited about 7-8 minutes. The waiting room is a very typical set-up. Uncomfortable (but nice and wide) chairs, a random cooking show on the TV and an assortment of magazines. My oldest kiddo accompanied me (for hand holding during the shot, of course) and she was pretty jazzed about the double water fountain. So there you go.
