My first experience at Bitterroot Health was excellent! From the check in procedure with Kathy, to…read morethe end of the appointment was so well organized and efficient. Dr Anderson was professional, listened well, and was very kind. He organized my concerns, ordered needed tests and explained everything precisely and clearly. I was extremely impressed by Dr Anderson. Nola, a medical assistant, was amazing in how efficient she was and how well she recorded my answers to health questions. Sarah, a phlebotomist did the best blood draw I've ever had - amazing! John did my x-rays and was very friendly and professional. I am just in awe of how well Bitterroot Health is run and the people that are employed there. What a great team! After years of trying to find good healthcare, I finally found it! I am overjoyed with the care I received here. Blessings to all that take care of others! 5 stars B. Dixon

Terrible care, completely dismissed everything I had to say. I cant keep any food down so they just…read moredid scans and finally gave me pain meds so I could uncurl from a ball. But when that wore off and I told them they then told me no. When I told the nurse to not touch my left arm for labs as I had just recently had surgery she went ahead and did anyway. I kept telling her no and she said I was aggressive with her and working against her. So I kicked her out of my room. I cant eat or drink anything right now and instead of doing anything I was told to go home and live off of bread and water. I am not happy. I know something is wrong with me but I was completely dismissed. I am not happy. I will never come here again. I will deal with the pain and go to missoula. O by the way I was discharged nothing was solved and the results of my tests they didn't even fully disclose to me. So now im home puking and having abdominal pain still and cant do anything about it because I genuinely feel like it doesnt matter and ill just get dismissed again anyway.

I have been in to the plains hospital a few times already and depending on who you see may vary in…read morehow well you are treated. The thing I don't understand is when the bill comes it doesn't come with a good explanation of what was done. I had two xrays taken that took only seconds on each hand and I received a email for payment in which I paid it. Now I see I have a new bill for the same xray visit with a much larger payment. I never received an actual bill for either. One came in email form and one I found in MyChart. I don't understand the billing situation. I also pay everything out of pocket. Some things I see I get a discount for and other things I don't. This is the only hospital near by so going farther takes more time and if its an emergency we have the one option. I can't say I feel I have received the care I would expect from a hospital. But after talking to other people they say this is the new normal. It doesn't give me any confidence at all to be seen at a place where i am not considered important or my health issues aren't important. My husband on the other hand received very good care. He is a veteran. Is that the difference? Because the VA paid for the care he received? And since I have no insurance I am treated as though I have zero value? Nothing at the hospital is cheap or fairly priced for anyone. If you have insurance some may be paid for but are you treated well??? It is actually alarming to go to a hospital and not be treated well when you are there for serious conditions. I have not always been called on lab work and had to call on my own or send a message from MyChart inquiring about them. Our health care system is so screwed up. It is not about the patient at all. It is about the money coming from what the patient has charged to their account. What are we supposed to do when we have a health issue and don't receive good care and just a large bill we struggle to pay??? We go home and live with the issue instead of someone caring enough to figure out what is wrong and treating people with care and concern. I just had some new blood work done and the results were never sent to the Dr I chose to see out side of the hospital. The Dr called me and asked if I had received them and I said yes and he stated he has never had them sent to him. That is not right. I don't know how you propose to change the publics mind on the hospital if other people are going through the same things I have been going through. But, we should NEVER be going through this. The hospital is there to take care of people. Not treat them poorly and also take their money. This is crazy. I thought a small town would take better care of their community. Apparently not??? I don't get it at all. Very disappointing.

A lawyer assigned to me got me out and moved to Dakota House in Missoula. When the staff there saw my injuries, they immediately called the police, who told me they believed me.

In fact, he made a mockery of it. Shortly after that, four people died there.

Montana State Psychiatric Hospital The Montana State…read morePsychiatric Hospital is a sad and forlorn place where too many poor souls with "serious mental illnesses" (Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services) wander the halls aimlessly or lie curled up in their beds, some just waiting for death. The hospital lost its certification due to patient deaths and safety issues two years ago, and, according to the Montana Free Press, staffing issues and safety complaints appear to be unresolved. My sister, after being isolated in her room at a Missoula, Montana Assisted Care facility for three years due to COVID, finally became so depressed and lonely she tried to leave the assisted care facility on a snowbound winter day on foot. Restrained and sent to a local hospital, a nurse at the hospital got a court order to send my sister to the Montana State Hospital as "a danger to herself". The nurse did this despite a reported high incidence rate of "falls, chemical restraints and staff vacancies" at the Montana State Hospital. At the hospital, my sister, clinically depressed but not diagnosed with a serious mental illness, was frightened by her surroundings and most often refused to leave her bed. She withered away, losing approximately 40 pounds as she became increasingly despondent. Finally, our family rescued her. Although the staff at the Montana State Hospital does a valiant job in caring for residents, hospitals "for serious mental illness" should not be used as dumping grounds for individuals when local hospitals and the rest of the world do not want to invest in their proper care.

I arrived unannounced and found her with the cutest hairdo I've ever seen. Her fingernails were painted beautifully and she had on a real cute outfit we had purchased for her some time ago. Kathy was clean and well cared for. She was happy and had a hug for all her caretakers. We grew up in P-burg and know many of the people both residents and care providers. I remember a time when there wasn't any place for the elderly and those needing assisted living. I say well done Philipsburg on taking care of your people. I've seen a few nursing homes and I only hope when my time comes I too can go to Granite County Nursing Home.
