I started the day excited to go out fishing on the first day of the season. Long story short; I…read moreended up with a fishing hook in my hand. 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.

Tara Smith García is the most dismissive and frankly, incompetent medical provider I've had the…read moremisfortune of crossing paths with. I was pushed off onto her when my primary care physician became the urgent care doctor and was unable to see me on a regular basis. The other female providers at Glacier Medical aren't seeing new patients and so Tara Smith Garcia was my only option. What a poor option. Not only did she overlook/dismiss a huge part of my diagnosis, she ordered the wrong x-ray and the wrong medication for me. When I had an allergic reaction to the medication she did order and I let her know and instead of communicating with me, she simply put in my chart that I was in eligible for any medication in that class. Zero communication and zero meds! I had to go to urgent care AGAIN to get a medication that would work in that class and there were several dozen. The urgent care doctor shook her head in dismay that Tara Smith Garcia actually wrote in my chart without that I was "ineligible" for all considering other medication's for my condition. WILD! I was prescribed an appropriate medication on the spot By the urgent care Dr. The urgent care doctor was also able to order a x-ray and diagnose a very serious issue for me that Smith Garcia missed completely. If you are recommended to see this doctor, I suggest you decline. Some of the other doctors at Glacier Medical Associates are competent and quite fine but Tara Smith Garcia is not.

He recommended a post op shoe (from Walgreens or Walmart. And he said I'd receive a call once the radiologist looked at the X-ray. But, at 4:39 pm I have not received a call. Walgreens did not have post op shoes. So we went to Med supply store behind Smiths. And purchased the shoe for $25. I checked on Walmart price and cost was it was about the same $25 and not the $5-10 dollar price Justin said it would cost at Walmart or Walgreens. J I was happy with the care I received! Just hope to hear from the radiologist after reviewing my X-ray . Thx

She was likely the one who was supposed to call us and since she didn't update the number on purpose she couldn't call and marked him as notified. EVEN THOUGH HE WAS NOT NOTIFIED. He had to call and speak with a random Rn/nurse (who was way more professional so good job to that guy) but he said "someone lied because it says you were notified " She had asked to confirm his phone number, my fiancé told her she had the wrong one and began to tell her the right one. She cut him off very rudely and was like "I'm NoT rEaDy". So we waited and he repeated it very slowly for her so she wouldn't get confused or behind. She said it was updated. She said she updated his other information. However, considering the phone number wasn't changed and she is a big liar I don't believe she did any part of her job that day. She deserves to be fired. You should not have someone like her working in any position helping patients. Not even front desk checking in patients and answering phones all day. She is petty, rude and unprofessional.

When he was discharged to us a few days ago, they reassured us that they added his granddaughter and me as contacts in his file. On the phone, they refused to talk to either of us about him today, and just told us to take him to urgent care or the ER. I figured he would be seen more quickly at Glacier Medical associates (since I have waited for many hours in the past to be seen in an ER), and we had him at that urgent care clinic as soon as they opened their doors at 11a. They drew blood and checked his urine, then sent us to the NVH ER. Upon our arrival there, they drew blood again, even though we told them that the clinic had just sent them those results. If insurance refuses to cover the duplicate, same-day tests, we are in for a long battle. Then we are told that he has a stomach abcess that they somehow missed before. On top of that, NVH doesn't have the right equipment to fix it, so they ambulanced him to Kalispell Regional hospital (KRH). We tried to refuse the ambulance ride and take him ourselves, but they would not let us. Another bill? Also, before he was transferred, we begged them to let him sign papers so they would talk to his granddaughter and me. They refused, saying he would have to request that in person himself tomorrow. But now he is at KRH, so how do we do that? They operated on him at KRH and tell us to expect a 3-5 day hospitalization. They tell us that no one can stay with him past 5pm, but he was wheeled out of surgery and placed back in the ER, waiting for a real hospital room, so the granddaughter is allowed to stay with him until he gets moved (again.) We are utterly exhausted. My review on Thursday was five stars; now it is one. 6/11/20 I have been fighting Kalispell Regional Hospital for several weeks now to get decent care for myself. My senior friend landed in the hospital at North Valley on Monday and just got released today. The 2 hospital experiences were night and day, mostly thanks to the AMAZING nurse Larry S. at NVH. If only every medical professional met his high standard of care.
