I was seen for a full body scan by a male provider while the male medical assistant was also in the…read moreroom. This scan required me to be fully nude (except underwear). While a gown is offered the exam still exposes the patient. My concern is- that it is best practice to have a female (same gender) in the room or to offer the patient a choice. While I could have spoke up to request a female, in the moment or leading up to the scan, I didn't. I thought about all the other patients that would not have been comfortable due to past trauma or other personal reasons. On my way from the exam room to the patient checkout there were a group of 3 or 4 female medical assistants in their work area. It appeared they would have been available. I spoke with the office manager before leaving offering my feedback. She was defensive. Kept repeating that a note would be placed in my records for next time. I told her that while I appreciate that, my point was to draw attention to their practice of not offering a female in with a female patient for a full body scan, such as it was. The office manager remained defensive and snarky saying they don't have enough female MAs available - to which I responded that there were at least three when I walked by their work station. As an aside, the male MA had terrible BO! What has happened to patient care? I felt the exam was ok, but also rushed - overall the experience left me with an ick feeling and questioning the thoroughness of the exam.

First of all, their specials are so amazing I tend to buy them in bulk so that I can afford to do my self-care every month.

A Professional Nurse's Perspective on Clinical Integrity…read more**Rating: ** As a Registered Nurse with 25 years of experience,, I understand that medical reviews are inherently anecdotal and subjective. However, I feel it is vital to offer a professional counter-narrative to some of the high-conflict claims posted here. It is a frustrating reality in healthcare that providers are legally prohibited by HIPAA from responding to public reviews with the facts of a case. This often leaves the public with a one-sided story, especially when a provider has had to enforce a difficult clinical boundary. **The Reality of Care at Forget Me Not** In my time as a patient at this clinic, I have witnessed a level of dedication that is rare in the Anchorage community. Sara Stetson is a "listener-first" provider who treats her patients as partners in their own health. While some have claimed she is "too busy," the reality is that she intentionally serves the underserved--including Medicare and Medicaid patients--often spending significantly more time with them than she is ever reimbursed for. This is a sign of a provider who prioritizes community advocacy over profit. **Professionalism & The "Husband" Dynamic** Regarding the office staff, I have found the "dynamic duo" of Sara and her husband, Sumner, to be exceptional. In a small, family-run clinic, the office manager often has to act as the "gatekeeper" for safety. As a nurse, I recognize that their firm adherence to legal prescribing protocols and office boundaries is not "rudeness"--it is a professional necessity. They prioritize patient safety and regulatory compliance above being "liked," which is exactly the integrity I want in my own healthcare team. **Vetted Excellence** To any prospective patient: I encourage you to look past anonymous emotional intensity and focus on verifiable data. Sara is a 20-year veteran of the USAF and Public Health Service with an mpeccable, active record on the Alaska State Professional License Search. Public records and professional standing speak far louder than any isolated incident. I trust this team implicitly and highly recommend them for evidence-based, compassionate care.

I cannot say enough good things about this clinic and the care I received. After years of going to…read moreanother ENT clinic that was later sold and renamed, I spent nearly two frustrating years being given the runaround with no real answers or solutions for my condition. That all changed the moment I met Valerie. Within just one hour of my first visit, she took the time to truly listen, thoroughly evaluate my situation, and accurately diagnose the severity of what I've been dealing with. For the first time, I felt heard and taken seriously. While my previous doctor told me there was nothing that could be done, Valerie immediately took action. She has already scheduled me for a tonsil removal in the next 30 days to address the recurring infections and strep throat I've suffered through--three times in the past 11 months. On top of that, she identified additional concerns, referred me to the appropriate specialists for my GERD, and put me on a clear path toward real healing. For years, I've lived with constant pain, discomfort, and vocal cord damage that has affected my ability to speak and function normally. In just one visit, Valerie and her team gave me hope, direction, and a plan. The level of care, professionalism, and compassion I experienced here is truly exceptional. I was taken care of from day one, and it's clear this team genuinely cares about their patients. If you're looking for real answers and providers who will actually take the time to help you--this is the place to go. Highly, highly recommend.

Today was disappointing... not so much about the level of care but based on when I called originally a few weeks ago to see if they treat a specific condition, I was told they do and have a few patients. Well, it turns out in less than 10 minutes, I'm told by the doctor that nothing can be done for me. That was extremely disappointing, it wasted money, a couple hours of my day to take time off work, drive into town and so on. It would be much better for the staff to know that something specific can't be treated rather than waste time for all parties, money and dash hope. As for everything else, check-in was prompt and I was taken back shortly after my scheduled appointment. The young man asking me questions didn't understand what I was being seen for and admittedly said he didn't know what to ask me. I didn't take offense, it's fairly rare. The doctor came in quickly, we spoke for a few minutes, mostly telling me things I already knew and unfortunately he told me there was nothing that could be done and I made my way to check out. I imagine their care is perfectly acceptable, as my previous ENT recommended I contact them, but as I said... it ended up being disappointing all around.

I was forced to wait six or seven weeks for an initial eval. I realize schedules fill, and the world doesn't revolve around me; but that was ridiculous. The front desk staff's attitude was callous. I asked to be put on a waiting list for cancellations. This was refused. Hence, a 4-star review instead of 5. Final Note: There's an old saying... a really good doctor usually has pretty bad front office staff. Try to over look the front desk because Dr. Engler and Benson are worth it.
