It's hell getting old. I just recently established care here, as I was in need of a licensed MD…read more My awesome naturopath is wonderful, but can be limited at times by what my insurance will cover. Medicine has become a game of hoops, hurdles, and land mines. Sadly, the corporate pig-dogs that infest medical insurance companies are making it harder and harder for consumers to get decent medical care that is covered by their own plans. The recent congressional mandates seem to be creating a knee-jerk response by the insurance companies to go into an offensive mode and nickle and dime consumers even more than they do now. This doesn't look good at all.... Commentary over for now. Providence Medical Group, located in the Ross Shopping Centre in Warrenton left me with a very solid and positive first impression. Easy to get in quickly for an appointment. All of the staff that I encountered were professional, friendly, attentive, and proficient. Stephanie Potts, NP was amazing. Very professional, caring, and LISTENED!!!! I never felt rushed at all, and she listened to me attentively and answered all of my many questions with ease. Very thorough. I was asked to fill out a few different inventories to asses my medical needs an concerns. This could be viewed as a lot of paper shuffling, but if one keeps in mind that so many patients do not communicate well with their professionals, thus making it tough for the professional to do their job in a comprehensive manner, all of the added questionnaires serve a very important function. It even gave a very loquacious person like myself a few extra talking points to address. I felt very at ease after my appointment and am confident in the staff at this location. As much as I never desire to be a regular at a doctor's office, I am pleased with the professionalism, flexibility, and quality of care given to me here.

Setting aside the whole mess with health insurance for a moment, I've found the Warrenton Clinic to…read morebe a valuable asset in the community. Most things I need to attend to on a regular basis are available there and while it's true it takes months to get an appointment to see a Doctor I've found the staff helpful in getting things, like new prescriptions, taken care of right away. Folks, there just aren't enough Doctors to go around in a rural community. That's always been true, but I do like dealing with Providence.

When we got there, no triage was performed at any time during our visit, two different people took insurance information which was never billed to the insurance. Wrong codes as we find out in August. The worst part about it the triage nurse was a total disaster. He should not even be in the medical field. He was rude condescending. After four hours of waiting, never been triage and complaining several times. I did talk to the charge nurse and my mom was seen by the Doctor Who was very professional. Even the staff upfront at the desk, was concerned about the triage process that evening Before we arrive there we also talked to my mother's oncologist and he said we needed to be seen immediately immediately go to the emergency room. Again, there was no triage perform. She was never seen by anybody prior to seeing the doctor, even though other people were seen by triage nurses. Since it is the only hospital in the area, you don't have any choice, but if there was another hospital there, this one would be out of business.

ER staff were very efficient. What made his stay bearable was the ICU staff and we want to give them a SHOUT-OUT! Each and every one of the nurses, doctors and support staff was exemplary . . . dedicated, talented, creative, humorous, caring. Unknown to us at the time, depression can come hand-in-hand with Afib! The ICU staff individually and together as a collective made the stay tolerable and likely saved my husband's mental health!!! We feel extraordinarily blessed!!! During that stay we learned quite a lot, including how short-staffed their cardiology team is. Makes a significant difference on treatment options!

Went into the Emergency Room at 2 am with horrible shoulder and arm pain. Was immediately asked…read morewhat the issue was and began checking in. I was called into an exam room even before finishing. Saw the doctor after nurse took vitals. Diagnosed issue as a pinched nerve and began treatment. They continued to check on me and adjust as needed. Everything was explained and I was given follow up instructions. All of the staff were helpful and pleasant. The entire experience was great - which meant so much more after I spent more than 2 hours at another hospital's urgent care in the afternoon and was never treated, never saw a doctor and the only medical staff I did see acted like he didn't want to be there. And, this was not because the waiting room was full. Unless 3 patients were overwhelming. This was not my first good experience here. A number of years ago my wife needed care late at night. Staff then was pleasant, efficient and took care of her. This visit I learned they also have an urgent care clinic. That's where I will go next timer it's needed!

Thanks for nothing I will take my business somewhere else.

I'm only giving two stars because of the "wait time." If you are in this area and need medical…read moreattention, just plan on the "wait." But you will get seen and you will get adequate care. This is a non-profit medical center. Whatever that means. If you don't have health insurance, they have a "sliding scale" option. However, since a certain Congressional legislation was implemented, not sure how this "sliding scale" is going to work. They are not a "walk-in" clinic, but I did manage to get a "same day" appointment. I called at 8:00 right at opening, and was on hold for five minutes. Hmmmmmm.......... They keep a whiteboard hanging where they notify people of the wait time. At the time I came in, it was blank. However, at the 30 minute waiting point, I inquired as to why there was no information on the white board. The desk person said, "we usually wait for them to tell us" but she decided to go inquire. She then wrote "50 minutes" as the wait time. At exactly the 50 minute point (50 minutes past my appointment time), I was seen. There is a sign that says, "if you have been waiting past 15 minutes, inform someone." But the medical tech that took my vitals indicated that sign is pointless as they routinely run late. 50 minutes is the "norm." I have to give them a "thumbs up" for the fact that they did NOT ask for my SS number. There is no legal reason health care providers need your SS number.

In the past two years I've had 5 different PCP's. They leave. A new one is assigned. They leave. Now they have NO PCP's taking new patients. You get whoever is around. They don't have time to review your chart or complaint. My fave PCP left because of the stress of paperwork and short time allotted to see patients. If you need speciality care, they do pretty well but as for having a doc that knows anything about you, forget it. It is really very scary especially as I get older and need someone on top of my care. Maybe instead of a state of the art facility, CMH could focus on quality care.

Absolutely horrendous experience. Also they said on the discharge paperwork that they gave me Zoloft. I was never given Zoloft. I was given an iv drip, some sort of Tylenol, and kicked out the door, just after tell me it's not very concerning that someone would soil themselves. You're fine dude. Also they were reading continued care after non-brain function to another patient and the guy literally said "if something goes wrong do you want us to revive you or do you want to remain dead" wtf dude. I would say never go there ever don't do it bad idea only reason I'm giving it two instead of one is because the nurse was fine. Don't expect him to find the vein the first time.

This hospital is very poor and second time that a family member has been in there so the powers that be in this hospital facility sucks not everybody is nice or compassionate at all. They told me not to call the hospital or talk to admin or anyone else for that matter so what is being hidden in that hospital but yet I see all these great experiences from other visits I'm disgusted and even though I'm not a PA , or his wife I'm just a sibling and I can't ask questions with my bother there in the room and the supervisor talks over you I got up and walked out and furthermore, you have to ask the nurse three times to leave so you can have some time with your sibling and she is her department and she can be there if she wants to.
