If you have insurance coverage that will cover prescription costs then I do not recommend Family…read moreMedicine of Merrillville. You would be better served going to a genuine provider who puts more emphasis on patient care and less emphasis on profit. I have been going to Family Medicine of Merrillville for over a year. I was originally in "Dr. Luke's" care. He is an LPN who got a job elsewhere and I was subsequently assigned to LPN Weronika Lugo when he left. I had two visits with Weronika Lugo. The first was on March 12, 2026. The second was on May 21, 2026. During these visits the subject of additional medications came up that I needed. When I asked about those Weronika Lugo's response was to "Take charge of your healthcare and do it yourself." This is a curious answer for a caregiver to give to a patient. Over the course of two visits she gave me this exact response at least six times to various questions. A reasonable interpretation is that she doesn't want to deal with me. And I'm fine with that. I started looking for another doctor's office. I started having problems getting my prescription refilled. After several phone calls to the pharmacy and the insurance company my wife determined that the prescription had been approved on the wrong prescription insurance plan that was employer based. The insurance company insisted on dealing with the doctor's office and it was not something that I could get done myself. The office manager's response at Family Medicine of Merrillville was to acknowledge that it would take an employee a considerable amount of time on the phone with the insurance company to get this mistake corrected. Then she said this wasn't an expenditure she was willing to make and if I wanted my prescription I needed to pay $300 to their office to get it filled instead of just paying the $25 copay at the pharmacy. That is when I knew for certain they really don't want me as a patient. Their main concern isn't the welfare of their patients. It is selling drugs out of their refrigerator for maximum profitability. I was prepared for indifference. But what happened when I went to a legitimate healthcare provider and left Family Medicine of Merrillville was entirely unwarranted. They listed my prescription as "no longer medically necessary" in my records to prevent me from getting it under insurance coverage at a pharmacy since I opted not to buy it directly from them. They did this in July when I had not had a visit to their office since May. I had already gone to another LPN for a checkup and gotten a prescription elsewhere. Family Medicine of Merrillville intentionally kneecapped me on the way out the door. I don't know if this is illegal or unethical but I am reporting it to whatever regulatory authority I can find whose jurisdiction covers it. My recommendation is a hard pass on Family Medicine of Merrillville. There are some good people who work there but the people who direct and focus the work don't have your best interests in mind. They are the kind of people who would have been selling Fen-phen out of the trunk of a car in 1995.

I was surprised by two bills, however. $171 for the physician group, and another $619 for a facility charge. $790 charged for a 10-15 minute minimal complexity visit is shameful. Other walk-in clinics I have used do not charge a facility fee. Perhaps because this one is located in a hospital they justify it, but this is no ER and the consumer should not be similarly upcharged. I called the billing dept at 983-8300 and was told things like taking my height, weight, and blood pressure go towards the facility fee and this location is considered one step down from an ER. I call BS. It's services are no different than other extended hour clinics. I'll pay my bill, but will not return to this expensive location.

My mom has been seeing Dr Salberg to be tested for dementia. I went with her to her 1st appointment…read moreand was very disappointed in the way she was treated. The appointment was rushed after she had waited months to see him. She did all of the testing he requested, right before her appointment to explain all of the test results he decided she needed a sleep study. After doing that test she set an appointment for the results. He cancelled on her twice. This whole fiasco started LAST September! She just got her results a month ago. It was also decided that my mom has sleep apnea, which meant she needed a cpap machine. It's been 9 weeks and she's still waiting for that to be delivered. Ridiculous.
