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.

Extraordinarily welcoming and safe. I went for Pap test and everyone from making the appointment to…read moregetting the exam was professional, courteous, and kind. Doctor Helen Weems listened before the exam and answered all my questions. She also gave me information on upcoming medical tests and procedures. This office handled all my concerns. And safety guidelines are in place for coronavirus. I'd highly recommend this team of caring health professionals!

Helen is the first practitioner I've had who made me feel heard and seen throughout the exam. And the instruments are pre-warmed, which is just really thoughtful. It's easy to make an appointment, everything ran smoothly, and was bang on time in the office. I won't say I can't wait for my next pap, because let's be honest, I can. But if you can get here for your next exam, I highly recommend making the trip.

Dr. Coleman is beyond amazing! She's proven to be a skilled, knowledgeable, friendly and…read morecompassionate doctor. When you have an appointment, you have her full attention as long as necessary. I never feel rushed, and she is expert at digging into all past and current concerns and making connections between symptoms. Knowing that I can get just about any minor health issue taken care, from addressing cold symptoms to needing stitches, is priceless. Annual exams actually feel friendly and thorough, rather than the sprint to take a pap smear, schedule labs elsewhere, and get the exam room ready for the next seven minute appointment that I've always experienced in the past. Also, Dr. Coleman is able to save me a ton on labs and medications that are typically stupid expensive through my insurance. Finally, it is incredibly refreshing to call or text my doctor directly when I just have a quick question, rather than going through office personnel. I have absolutely no qualms referring all my friends and family to her!

From the owner: Are you looking for affordable, transparent, and personalized health care with direct access to…read moreyour doctor? Then Glacier Direct Primary Care is for you! As a member Glacier DPC, Dr. Tabor-Manaker will strive to see you within 24 hours when possible. In addition, you will have direct access to her via phone, text, or email. Here are just a few of the services that are provided: wellness exams, urgent care visits, significantly discounted blood work and skin biopsies, laceration repair, chronic disease management, mental health and wellness, women's wellness, including pap smears, accompanying patients to appointments with specialists, in-house rapid strep, urine analysis, pregnancy tests, and more. One of the goals of direct primary care is to ensure improved health outcomes for our patients while lowering the overall cost of their health care. Instead of going through insurance and charging co-pays, Glacier DPC charges patients a low monthly fee that covers all visits, preventive screenings, and most other primary care services. Labs and pathology are offered to patients at a significantly discounted rate. Dr. Tabor-Manaker also negotiates lower prescription prices at a local pharmacy. That way, patients who have insurance can use it as needed, including for big-ticket items such as hospitalizations, advanced imaging exams, and surgery. Those who don't have insurance get quality primary care at an affordable price.
