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.

I was referred to West Valley Spine and thought, "Okay, it's going to be a long time before I hear from them to set up an appointment." Wrong. They contacted me a couple of weeks later and I got in there soon after, too. They have two locations, in near downtown Meridian and in Caldwell. Been to both locations and saw the same doctor and assistant, Sarah Wilson and Edgar. This whole situation is brand new to me and I was a bit apprehensive, but I need not have been. Both were so friendly and took their time to explain everything. Sarah is very knowledgable and she has my trust. Recently had to go in for a second look-see as my pain has increased-dang those family genes. They got me in right away and again I was met with professionalism and friendly folks. Now, I get to experience some physical therapy (review later on that one).

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.

They were attentive and knowledgeable as well as being helpful. Its the two doctors that im not very impressed by. The first doctors shift was almost over, we arrived at approximately 1-1:30 pm, his shift would end up being over before we left. I ended up getting a right torn MCL. He had mentioned getting a brace or even crutches, but thats all, i never got either. The other doctor that took his place was a lady, said she read his notes and she also mentioned a brace. But a lass i never got one, i picked one up my self at Walgreens. The only problem is that it wasn't a good brace. But it was the best that they had. They told me to follow up with my PCP in two weeks. I was never given any pain meds even a partial script would have been nice. An MRI would have been nice but that wasnt even an option. They could have ordered one at the boise hospital the next day but know all i had done was a X-ray. I made an appointment with my PCP approximately a week and a half later, but i wasnt seen until after the two week time. My PCP ordered a MRI so that was later that week. And my PCP made a referral to ortho, but i couldn't get in until Dec, i think he 2 week of December. The PA said he normally wouldn't operate due to my age. He had me make an appointment with Dr Denny but i couldn't get in to see him until mid January. He said had he saw the MRI closer to the time of the accident he would have operated on my knee, but due to the time since the accident it was to late. Now Dr Denny said we will try PT after my appointment in February. And if I want another MRI we can talk about that at the appointment. I was stressed because of the accident, he hit us doing at least 45mph. I personally think it was at least 50. Ok so people make mistakes they could have called after the fact and had me come back for a brace. Dr Denny said that had i had a brace closer to the start, it may have helped the scaring and healing process. I know ill have to deal with the fact that the other driver wasn't paying attention. I just never thought that doctors at Saint Alphonsus would not be paying attention. I had to think about what i wanted to say, is why it took me this long. The paramedics asked where did i want to go, since I work for the hospital i figured lets go there. I just regret not going to Saint Lukes, i just wonder if the outcome would be different? My PCP with Saint Als did a great job and she did what she said. D. Perkins at Garrity UC. The PA with ortho, why didnt he talk to dr Denny? Maybe it could have been repaired then I may have been doing PT by now. This experience with the ER just left a bad taste in my mouth. Again the nurses in the ER that day were fantastic, i hope they get some recognition. I feel like I was let fall through the cracks. It has left a not so good feeling with me.

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. A very nice nurse took me in back and the whole thing lasted about 30 seconds! :) I prefer to get my flu shot from a nurse, rather than at the pharmacy and I've had great experiences at PH!

My shoulder snapped and popped like jiffy pop on searing heat left to burn. It was also visibly drooping. Dr. Bryce Kirkman went straight to work eyeing me with a smarmy grin and character assassination. He then for some strange and creepy reason took my hand w/o consent and stroked my fingers while gazing(?) Into my eyes. It seems I needed a psychic palm read. I asked for diagnostic imaging. That is all. In a glorious gaslight outburst he went full throttle. I was denied any diagnostic imaging. Dr. Kirkman wrote in my chart that I needed mental health care and that nothing was wrong. As a result insurance denied me any imaging for 6 months. He also linked the diagnoses of crazy, lazy, stupid ,liar to ALL of my network charts including surgeons, primary and emergency services. I had to change all of my providers. Fast forward a loooong time. I had a level 4 SLAP tear and detached bicep. Translation: my arm was slowly ripping of my body. Have been diagnosed and treated now.
