It's not difficult; I've had such service elsewhere outside the state of PA before moving here. So, to move here and here all the hoopla between UPMC and Highmark, one gets the impression all parties would bend over backwards because, ya know, they think they're the best. I can guarantee you that this facility is nowhere near the best. You know why? Let me tell. 1) Waiting room wait is not bad but the reason why? When they call your name, they don't just call your name, they call another, as well. That's right. It's "Come on Down"! For the sake of efficiency, I suppose, two of us were called by name, handed the obligatory robes, pointed to our dressing areas, given our verbal instructions how to put them on, asked if we needed to remove any deodorants and shown the waiting area. Wow! First, I don't think HIPPA is in play here with this procedure and 2) oh, nevermind if I have to explain why I'm offended by the cattle call. 2) While undressing and trying to put on the robe per instructions, I noticed there was only one tie instead of two (in other words, this wasn't gonna work for me or anyone else). I proceeded to walk out half-dressed looking for a "dressing room attendant". I found one. Her response in a sweet tone was "Oh, did you get ONE OF THOSE?". Wha???? She just acknowledged that this is a recurrence? She handed me a new gown after checking for wardrobe malfunctions and I told her I was going to watch as she disposed of malfunctioning robe and I did and she did. 3) Technician running the mammo machine was curt, efficient, that's the sum of it. No small talk, no "hi, how are ya?", not sure she even looked me in the eye. Like I said, it's not my first mammogram rodeo, but humans can be, well, humans toward one another. There really is no law against it even in the name of efficiency. So, bottom line, I have a re-do coming up and I definitely scheduled it for a different facility, meaning a non-UPMC facility. Not setting foot in here again. Oh, there was one plus: I got an online survey I got to fill out. Yeah, that was worth it. P.S. An update to this review: I had to have another mammogram, a diagnostic one, after the one at this facility. Because of my negative experience here, I decided to check out Excela and chose their Excela Square at Norton facility in Irwin. Check out that review for my completely opposite and totally positive experience.

For several years I have experienced mild knee pain. Mild turned to medium than spicy quickly,…read moresince I began a regimented exercise routine. I noticed every time I went to do a jumping jack my knees would buckle or I would feel searing pain like a stabbing feeling. I was using knee braces to help but when my exercises were being obstructed I knew I had to see an Orthopedic doctor since I don't want to be the person in class that can't do what everyone else is doing. I scheduled an appointment with the Orthopedic Association of Pittsburgh. The scheduling was relatively painless. I asked to see one doctor but was told it would be a couple of weeks so I asked for the first appointment available with any doctor. When I arrived I was checked in quickly and found the front desk lady to be polite and engaging. I waited maybe 10-15 minutes and was called back by I assume either a nurse or radiologist. He was super nice. Went over my issues with him and he was really inviting and likeable. After a while he took me back for x-rays. Then back to the room to wait on the doctor. First walks in a physician's assistant. She asks what the problem is. I retell my woes and she asks me to lie down where she begins to pinch and prod my knees and roundabouts. Followed with questions like "Does this hurt? How about now?" Yea it hurt stop it! She said hang tight and the doctor will be in with her to go over things. So I wait, probably a good 15 minutes. The doctor comes in with the assistant. Again asks me what's wrong. I regurgitate my story and he says my x-rays look good. But asks me to stand on a stool barefoot. I indulge him he makes comments to his colleague in doctor jargon, and wasn't really telling me anything. A few more exercises and he says, in layman's terms, that my knee caps are moving out. He suggests PT. I was really confused and didn't feel satisfied by his explanation. He started to say how the human body wasn't meant to do things like a bunch of jumping jacks in a row and these crazy HIIT exercises are causing this, along with my genetic makeup, AKA thanks mom and dad. After the comment about working out I started to realize this guy was an idiot. Annoyed I said what can I do for the pain? I was half hoping they would give me a cortisone shot just so I can maintain my routines, but no says he will give me 800 Ibuprofen. I don't like pills and won't take them unless it's necessary so this was of no help to me. He left the room quickly closing the door behind him, some muttering about see you in 6 weeks. Can't wait. So checking out I am annoyed. I didn't understand what my problem is and how PT will help. At some point I was approached by the nurse from earlier and asked how it went. I told him I had no idea what just happened and was confused. He seemed sympathetic which was appreciated. So I left and made my first PT appointment. I liked just about everyone I came across in this visit except my no bedside manor dippy doctor. Unfortunate really, but I think I will call and change to another one for the follow-up. Good doctors are hard to come by, especially specialist. I often wonder why they chose to go into this profession when it's clear they don't like people. Who knows? I have to say this place is a three regardless of the doctor's attitude.

There seem to be a dozen outpatient services available here. I made sure to take note of the Children's Express Care, which is open Monday-Friday 5-9pm, Saturday 12-8pm, and Sunday 10am-6pm. However, the reason for our visit was x-rays for our daughter. Originally, we were going to have to do an ultrasound for her, which is appointment only, but it was changed to x-rays instead. The good news about that is the x-rays can be done as a walk-in procedure. The hours are Monday-Friday 8am-12pm and 1-9pm, Saturday 12-8pm, and Sunday 10-6pm. Even though we had some issues with the prescription being faxed over from our pediatrician's office, we were still in and out of the office very quickly, in under an hour, I believe. I definitely plan on coming back in the future, especially to use the Children's Express Care next time my daughter is sick at night or on the weekend.
