Everyone at MWOS was great from the moment we checked in. The receptionist was very friendly and discreet when it was needed. My nurse, Cathy, was awesome She took great care of me, again explaining everything she was doing and why. I needed some special assistance at one point before going in for surgery and she handled it professionally and, again, with discretion. She also took care to include my husband in all conversations as did everyone who talked to me before surgery. The nurse who took care of me in recovery was great! I think her name is Wendy. Made sure I was comfortable and coming out of it well. The nurse who wheeled me out to the car whose name I didn't catch was also very friendly and made sure I was moving correctly when getting into our Jeep. Everyone here was awesome! I highly recommend NWOS and Dr. Moss. I have not had one bad experience there with anyone and am looking forward to having my right hip done there as soon as I can.

I explained I needed it for my sick time request and she said to wait in the lobby. I proceeded to wait thirty minutes and had to request the two line note three times before they handed it to me. The nurse who took my vitals threw my arms around like i was a toy or something. They also ordered an xray when we already has an MRI. They also didn't offer to validate our parking but did for all other patients we witnessed checking in. I'm really confused and bewildered by the way I was treated. I also need to get a second opinion because she treated my obvious issues in the scans as non problematic. If you have a choice go somewhere else. people are just paychecks to this clinic.

Doctor Stowell examined me and quickly diagnosed my condition. The Dr ordered an MRI and prescribed medication for my ailment. I returned a couple of weeks later after the MRI and the doctor reviewed it. The doctor recommended I do not have a knee surgery . Instead he recommended I get a cortisone injection. I have been pain free for about 6 months. I returned several months later for pain in my heal. The examining foot doctor diagnosed plantar fasciitis and ordered physical therapy. The therapist indicated that the fasciitis is a result of chronic tightness in the calf muscle. The therapist performed a muscle relaxation massage on the calf and several stretches. Those exercises worked great!!

I normally don't post reviews, but after my experience with this clinic -- and now seeing the…read morerecent CDA Press article about Blue Cross of Idaho requesting an investigation into Post Falls ER & Hospital -- I felt it was important to share what happened to me. I waited nearly three months to see Dr. Richard Lee Stowell, under the guidance of my physical therapist. When I finally got in, the visit lasted barely five minutes, with no meaningful examination, no new information, and no real plan. Instead, I was referred for a $500 MRI at Post Falls Emergency Hospital -- a facility the news is currently spotlighting for billing and arbitration practices. I later learned this MRI referral was tied to OSL and its partners, something that was never explained. Privacy was another major issue. During what should have been a confidential consultation, eight different people came in and out of the room with no introduction and no request for my consent. I did not agree to discuss my personal medical information in front of them. Despite being told to "come in ASAP" because the condition could be serious, the follow-up appointment was pushed out another 3-4 weeks, first to August 25 and then to August 27, with no explanation. The urgency they expressed simply wasn't reflected in their actions. When I finally emailed saying I would not be returning, the office manager called twice -- once to apologize and once to offer a refund of the $250 I paid upfront, asking me to come in and sign for the release of my records. I signed the release, but the imaging from the follow-up was never provided to me. Later, I received a letter stating the clinic was "terminating" me as a patient, even though I had already ended the relationship myself. The letter had no clinical purpose and felt like after-the-fact paperwork cleanup rather than genuine medical follow-up. This wasn't a simple scheduling mix-up. In my experience, it was a pattern: * Urgency stated, then ignored * Patient privacy overlooked * Administrative promises not kept * Records handled questionably * A referral pipeline tied to a facility now in the news for its billing practices Northern Idaho patients deserve better -- better coordination, better privacy, and better follow-through than what I experienced here.

The first response to pain help request was "I wasn't in enough pain because my voice didn't show enough pain over the phone." My caregiver and I were shocked at the response. At 6 weeks, I visited my regular doctor who gave me a list of questions to ask at the upcoming appointment. Dr. Scott dodged all questions, saying "everyone is different". Being different should not mean refusing to address the problem. Since then, my regular doctor team has managed the pain and more recently with an ultrasound and MRI has found swelling and post surgical changes. The ultrasound showed a large blood clot causing the swelling. These tests are pretty basic to rule out serious things like blood clots that can cause strokes. I am so grateful that my regular team of doctors are more interested in solving health problems than ignoring them. The stroke will take 2-3 months to dissolve and I don't know about post surgical changes treatment yet. I do know there is at least one other former patient with the same bad treatment facing a repair surgery. I wonder why Dr. Scott isn't working at Providence anymore or doing them in Spokane.
