UnityPoint Clinic Family Medicine - Altoona

My experience this morning was extremely uncomfortable and inappropriate. After discussing my concerns of fatigue with my provider, Scott Meyer, he started discussing marital issues that he assumed I was having and told me that was why I was so tired. First, he tried telling me it was allergies. I reassured him this fatigue started when my mom passed away in June, and I just wanted to get my blood drawn to see if anything physical was wrong. I have had thyroid issues in the past so I wanted to rule that out. Scott Meyer continued to tell me that the psychiatric medication that I was prescribed by a different provider wouldn’t be a good option for me. I did not feel like he was listening at this point. I requested to also have my hormones checked, which he said he wouldn’t do because I am young and my hormones are fine. When he asked me to step up on the examine table, he continued discussing marital issues and told me that he had one more thing to discuss with me. He brought up sexual inner course. He began saying that men and women can have a big disconnect in marriage because men want to do it all the time and women don’t. He word for word said “men want to do it to relax. Women need to relax to do it. ” He continued explaining this. I started to feel extremely uncomfortable and was concerned how the rest of the exam would go. He told me that I just needed to “relax” and make time for my husband. He also said to continue being intimate with my husband. I had mentally checked out as I felt unsafe and uncomfortable. I should have spoken to someone before leaving, but I just wanted to leave the office. I got my blood work done and immediately left in tears. His “advice” was completely inappropriate and did not solve my concern at all. I did not once bring up marital issues or sexual issues. I reiterated to him that my marriage is great and we have no issues. I told him this twice and he continued bringing it up. I made it very obvious to him that I think my tiredness is from grief, but I just wanted to check physical issues off the list. This is a doctor that I have been visiting since I was a child, I’ve seen him over a dozen times at least. I will not be coming back and the rest of my family who sees him will be switching providers. Absolutely disappointed and disgusted.

Last year, my daughter was given the wrong vaccine by mistake. Office apologized, and I continued to take my kids there. Almost happened for the 2nd time recently. For a mom who is not in Healthcare, you trust that your kids are in good hands and that you don't have to inspect what they're putting in your body. Subpar care at best. Will be finding care elsewhere.

Please please please do not go here! They are so crooked and they will take you for all you have.

I came in to establish care. Standard check in procedures, went back to the room to chat and they billed me almost $300. For nothing! They didn't run test or establish anything. $300. It's insanity.

Called to figure out what they're billing me for and all they can say is "I don't know but that sounds about right".

$300, for a conversation where I was ignored and brushed off because my primary health concern is apparently not concerning enough.

Please if you're like me and live pay check to pay check don't go here. Their pricing will put you out on the street and they don't care. They won't work with or explain anything.

Went into urgent care, and saw Dr Currie for an issue today. They were very helpful and did everything they could to help me. Great doctor. Will definitely be back if I have another issue. The front desk was also friendly and got me checked in quickly. Be prepared for a wait, as that’s just how the world works. There’s lots of people that need help but they can only go so fast, while also providing quality care. I got there early so the wait wasn’t very long and only spent half an hour there
