I would use extreme caution if choosing this facility, I loved Dr. Kapsch and she is a great…read moreprovider, however, the lack of customer service and outright disrespectful attitudes from the front desk and specifically Billie/Bobbie? Jo in the billing department is the worst I have ever experienced. After sending bills to my 13 y.o. daughter at the incorrect address, even after being seen on several occasions and filling out updated paperwork. Our updated information, along with my insurance information was never added into the system. I was sent to collections for bills that were never sent through insurance or that I ever received due to incompetence of the front desk and billing department. After finding out I was sent to collections for these bills I've never received, I still had to call two different occasions to correct account information that was previously provided to them. I asked to speak to administration to which I was told, "we don't have anyone", I was directed to Dr. Hibbs who on two separate occasions would call my phone but when I returned the phone call within a minute the answering machine was turned on or she was "already gone for the day", At no point was I actually able to speak with her directly. The overall theme was, it was my fault their system was not updated, it was my fault they hadn't updated address in over 3 years despite multiple visits, and it was my fault they didn't have the correct insurance information in their system. As someone who works in health care, I could not imagine ever speaking to/treating a patient the way I have been treated with this clinic. At one point Billie/Bobby? Jo stated, "I'm sorry you cant pay your bills" .... referring to bills I have never received as she was sending them to a 13 y.o. child. After the problems we have had between the front desk and billing department, and now lack of professionalism or accountability from "administration", had I have known this privately owned clinic would have worse customer service than a big corporate facility, I would have went with Monument Health initially, as at least Monument Health has standards for how patients are spoken to, along with accurate accounting systems and accountable/educated business office personnel. These are not isolated incidents, since sharing my experience, I have found many people in similar situations, who have been treated with absolute disrespect by the ancillary staff at Creekside Medical.

Extremely clean and personable. There was no wait for a Sunday morning. Didn't try to make me…read morespend more than I needed to get better for my cold.

Dr Ptacek is simply amazing! I have to tell you my story just so if you're thinking about going to…read morehim you will know what I went through . At 54 years old I had seen numerous doctors about the pain I had in my hip and in my back . The other doctor said did the shots and even told me well I'm 54 years old I might just have to live with it . I had very painful sharp stab every time I put weight on my left leg it was horrible ! And I was only able to bend over possibly two to three times a day without being an excruciating pain . I honestly felt like my life was over . I was not able to do anything I enjoyed . I wasn't able to work so I was stuck in my house all day long . So somebody recommended Dr Ptacek to me and I thought well can't be any worse than it already is . The very first time I seen him he made me do a bending over do this do that which was painful . And he said well you have two problems one is your SI joint and your other is like L5 in your back . I thought well no s*** I could tell you where my pain is I'd live with it for a couple of years . But I looked up at him and asking can you fix me . Without hesitation he said yes ! No doctor had told me yes . So I thought well he's either an arrogant prick or he knows what he's doing . So I went back again and Dr talchak did an SI joint fusion with some pens . And I am 57 years old right now I walked over 5 Mi everyday at work . 5 miles! I couldn't get up out of my chair and walk to the bathroom without being in tears because the pain hurts so bad . My back hurts if I overdo it too much but that's my own fault I am 57 years old . Before he fixed my back I wasn't even able to get pots and pans out of my lower cabinets . I couldn't put any vegetables in my crisper drawer drawers in the bottom of my refrigerator because I couldn't bend over to open them . I couldn't empty my dishwasher because I couldn't bend over to get the plates out ! I felt like a total failure as a wife and human being . Doctor not only relieved the pain but this man literally gave me my life back . So if he says he can fix you he can . He's smart he's funny . But the man knows his s*** ! And he has the best staff ever! If you're in pain make an appointment ! Get your life back like I did !

After years of debilitating back pain and neuropathy, Dr. Ptacek completely changed my life. He was…read moreincredibly thorough, he took time to explain everything clearly, and patiently answered all my questions. You can tell he's an expert and I'm so grateful to have him in Rapid. His diagnosis was spot on, and his treatment plan worked better than I ever imagined. The entire staff was amazing--kind, professional, and easy to work with. I finally feel like myself again. If you're living with pain, Dr Ptacek is the doc to see!

Their front desk staff is rude and slovenly dressed. Very unprofessional. The institute's standard…read moreway of dealing with patients is impersonal, they flat out tell you that you'll be texting and using a medical portal. When you try to ask them questions, they get annoyed. Once you get into see a doctor, their doctor will give you 3 to 5 minutes of their time and rush onto someone else The only exception is Dr. Abraham , who is excellent.

Surgery day not bad! VERY unprofessional billing department…read more The use of texting for all their communications even their billing should be changed! Very first bill sent out had no backup or explanations as to why the amount was due! During my visit, without them asking I had already paid my yearly deductible of a couple of hundred dollars plus! On the bill text there was no breakdown of how they had used any monies that insurance or that I had paid,! There was just amount due without even what the total costs of the services were! To finally get to the bill you had to go through several different sites and steps to get to an Internet site! After getting into the Internet bill, there still was no explanation as to what was done with the total amount of money I paid on the first visit! When I called, I was told that was all there was! When I asked about my payment, she explained some numbers that did not even match any amounts on the bill. I was looking at from the Internet.! When I asked for a more detailed bill I was told that was all there was! When I said, I just don't like paying bills that I don't where my money has gone to, she immediately threatened me with collections! Call this VERY Bad Customer Service
