The Best 18 MEDICAL SERVICES near Cheney, WA (Part 2)

Kristina I love Latah Creek Animal Hospital. They treat every animal with respect, understanding, and genuine care. They are more expensive than other vets Ive been to but their service and care makes everything worth it. Ive never had a vet take preventative healthcare during annual visits seriously (optional blood panels and blood pressure) and it gives great peace of mind. They are also transparent in their treatment plans and invoices. Ive recommended Latah Creek Animal Hospital to everyone I know and now my whole family goes there.

Kota Gordon I recently took my pet leopard gecko to Latah Creek, and honestly, we were both pretty nervous! it was her first vet visit! But the care, respect, and honesty I got there were really refreshing. I usually get nervous when others handle my lizard, but the team at Latah made both of us feel super comfortable. They gave me a ton of great advice on her care, and I’m really lucky to have Latah so close by. Lizzie and I just want to say thank you!

Kellie Fitzgerald Recently moved to the area and my daughter recommended Cheney Veterinary Clinic. My cat Casper was a new patient and they were able to see him without a long wait. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and showed sincere concern when explaining the reason for our appointment. Their pricing is comparable

Barry Seward Friendly, empathetic and knowledgeable. My dog had water in his lungs and has a long-term heart problem. They made time to see me the same day and provided medication that has helped him to feel much better. I am very thankful for them.

Spencer Cooper jr First time I saw this gentleman I tried to tell him what was wrong with me. He didnt want to here it. He told me to schedule a separate appointment for every problem. Tried to force me to have back surgery that only has a 20% chance of making me better. Have been trying for months to get an appointment for Prednisone shots and he cant get it done. He will not return messages or answer questions. Totally uncaring. No empathy or compassion here. Useless.

Briauna Lipp I had a lot of questions to ask at my appointment, hence the reason I scheduled it. I came prepared to get information about a couple of different things that I had notified them about. When John came into the room, he rushed me and didn’t answer any of my questions. He kept telling me just to “research it online” and rushed me out of there with none of my questions answered and I left feeling more confused. I felt pressured into choosing a certain birth control option, which he also knew nothing about. My appointment was all of about 10-15 minutes long, and I don’t think he listened to a concern I had. I was so upset and frustrated after I left. I felt like had no knowledge about anything I was asking, and he didn’t care about my concerns at all.

Jennifer Ghan Medical Lake Veterinary has time and time again been worth their weight in gold for our household animals (cats, dogs) and livestock (mini cows, mini goats). They are quick to return estimates and generally have an open schedule for last minute appointments. I appreciate their willingness to do additional research on treatment methods before being quick to diagnose and send you on your way. For the most part, we have found the prices of their services, specifically for livestock, some of the most reasonable in the area. Our only point of improvement would be timeliness on appointment start times. There has been a few times where we have waited 45+ minutes beyond the appointment time, which when you’re dealing with livestock it can be a bit trying. We are thankful to have such a great vet in the West Plains area that treats all the animals we have. We recommend all of our friends and family to them.

conner beck I have been going here for over a year, I recently took my dog in because he was sick. The vet said he needed an enema, once I picked him up, I arrived home 10 minutes later. He was pooping blood continuously, I called back and was placed on hold why the receptionist talked to a vet, they asked about the stool and I answered. The receptionist then told me the can’t help and to go somewhere else. This clinic has to be one of the worst. Refusing care 20 minutes ( 10 min drive home 10 min on hold) after I picked up my dog. After spending 8 hours at an animal hospital my dog has a completely different diagnosis as well as damage from the enema the vet had provided. Will not go back and recommend anywhere else.

Aly L Be cautious before bringing your pets here. (My dog happy and healthy at the end of this story). I brought my dog in about a year ago because she was acting strange. Vet said she might have an upset tummy so prescribed some meds and special food. A week later, she’s worse, not playing as much, not eating, so I bring her in. Vet said maybe she just something stuck, they took an X-ray. They then tell me that she may have hip dysplasia and needs to see someone right away (her hips were completely fine, not the issue). A week later, she’s worse, whole body was cold, sleeping a lot, and not eating/drinking, I bring her in. Doctor said she was fine, the cold body is normal and she just needs more time. That night we took her into an different emergency vet. Turns out she was extremely dehydrated, her blood wasn’t pumping properly and she had Addison’s Disease. She could have died if we didn’t take her in that night. The emergency vet saved her life. I told the doctor at THIS hospital what happened and his response was “I was going to say that.”

Cory Davis I scheduled a week in advance to bring all 3 of my animals in at once because that’s what worked with my schedule and I was told it would be okay. Fast forward to literally 30 minutes before the appointment, we received a call telling us that they wouldn’t see our dogs even though we specifically wanted to get them all done at once. Completely unprofessional. I will be taking my animals to see a practice that will actually care for them in a respectable and professional manner. I’d do zero stars if I could.

Dustin King This place is the best. Always feel respected, heard, and my kittys are always treatedike members of my family. Staff is amazing too!

David Green Lucy came to Hunter Vet her entire life --- from her adoption puppy shots in August 2012 to crossing the rainbow bridge this morning. Dr. Schrag and his team provided outstanding service to Lucy --- and they are continuing to provide outstanding service to her brother, Toby. Quality, compassionate care at a fair price. Wonderful doctor team and wonderful techs and office staff. I cant thank them enough.

Ashley schavolt Saturday night my sweet girl tore her dew claw out and the quick was exposed and bleeding. Another emergency vet turned us away as it wasn’t enough an emergency, I understood they were very busy but I couldn’t let my baby be in pain all weekend and was worried about infection as she wouldn’t leave it alone licking it and was whining in pain. This clinic was very understanding and got her in just a few minutes after I got there. I was a bit nervous about it being curbside because I wanted to be with her as much as I could (she has very bad vet anxiety), but they were great with communication the entire time and got her taken care of.

Sydney Kearns My dog was attacked by another dog with a few punctures on his back and sides. Animal Emergency Clinic took him back within 30 min (it was a weekend, but a slower day due to a snow storm). They were so kind and took great care of my baby. I was pleasantly surprised that the bill was about 1/2 of what I was expecting it to be. My dog needed 8-10 stitches and a Penrose drain, which he had to be put under for. He was with the clinic for a total of 5 hours and we had great discharge notes. We got a call back the next day checking on him. Will definitely go back again, also love that I don’t have to sit in a waiting room full of dogs. Thanks Animal Emergency Clinic!!!

Wyatt Nelson Poor communication and didnt submit my refill request when I asked them to on 8/19. Unprofessional and disappointing. Recommend other pharmacies in Cheney.

Scott Myers Jill and Jerry are superstars. Out of a scale of 1-10, 10 being the highest, I give this pharmacy a 15 star The rest of the Chas cheney pharmacy team are awesome too

Tina Steffen Dr. Briscoe is an absolutely amazing doctor. She cares, listens, and really has your back. I will greatly miss her. My new Doctor has big shoes to fill. I am also losing my favorite nurse Tammy. The next group of patients that get the pleasure of Dr. Briscoe and nurse Tammy are very lucky and I hope they dont take that for granite. Much respect to Dr. Briscoe and Tammy! Tina Steffen

Chris Tatham All of the staff were very friendly and professional. The medical assistant Jessica and the PA Dane gave me time to talk about my health history and healthcare needs. I felt “heard” and well cared for during this first visit with them, as I needed to establish a PCP (Primary Care Provider) after moving to the area.

Kim Griffin **Amazing Experience at CHAS Urgent Care – Spokane Valley!** I had such a wonderful experience at CHAS Urgent Care in Spokane Valley! From the moment I walked in, the staff was incredibly sweet, welcoming, and helpful. I needed my pre-employment Tdap and flu shots, and they made the whole process so smooth and stress-free. The wait time was minimal, and everyone I interacted with was kind, patient, and genuinely caring. They took the time to answer my questions and made sure I was comfortable throughout the visit. It’s rare to find a medical facility where the entire team—from the front desk to the nurses—treats you with such kindness and professionalism. I truly appreciate their efficiency and compassionate care. If you’re looking for an urgent care clinic with amazing staff and great service, I highly recommend CHAS Urgent Care in Spokane Valley. Thank you all for making my visit such a positive experience!

Love Peace **Review of Spokane Valley Urgent Care** I recently visited Spokane Valley Urgent Care, and my experience was unfortunately disappointing. Upon entering, I noticed there was no line, which gave me hope for a quick visit. However, the initial interaction set a negative tone for my appointment. The woman at the front desk, who wore black cat-frame glasses, did not acknowledge my presence at all. I stood there waiting while she seemed preoccupied with other tasks. It was a gentleman in the lobby who eventually prompted her to attend to me. Even then, her response was curt, as she said, "I’ll be right with you," while rolling her eyes in my direction. This behavior felt unprofessional and left me feeling dismissed. What compounded my discomfort was the unsettling feeling that my race may have played a role in her lack of courtesy. It’s disheartening to experience such treatment, especially when youre not feeling well and seeking care. Overall, my visit to Spokane Valley Urgent Care was marked by poor customer service. A welcoming and respectful environment is crucial in healthcare settings, and I hope they address these issues for the sake of future patients.

Randy Bowen I was able to get an appointment very quickly. Front desk check. In was friendly and easy. The nurses were quick and efficient, friendly enough to visit but also able to handle other jobs well. The folks in the procedure room were very informative and professional. Dr. Habibi was also informative and professional. They were thorough and gentle! Good times had by all!

Yahne Walsh Cindy (cindyrunner) Thank you for such wonderful care from the front office employees to the whole care team. Very professional, kind and communicative. To start off, I misunderstood having a driver present for the whole wait time, but the front office ladies were kind, understanding and patient with me to get my driver back in time. Thank you for that. I didn’t have to reschedule. Dr. Nathan Campbell was friendly, profesional and has great bed-side manner. He is a very easy Doctor to talk to. I love that. All the care team was helpful, patient and friendly. I thought everyone there was happy and enjoyed doing their jobs. It was great to be in such great hands for a procedure that is not fun to go through. I highly recommend this center. The only negative I have was not validating parking. Thanks again for excellent, on time and professional care.

Kirstin Franklin A wonderful, caring doctor that listens to your concerns and truly tries to help. She took over my old doctor’s practice and has been amazing through the process. So happy to have her as my general practitioner.

Tasha Woods If your switching over to Brittney Worthy from Mary Bachko at Saturn Clinic, think again. I missed 2 appointments, Im a mother of 5 kids, a caregiver fulltime and a homeschool mom of 4. I called immediately this morning after realizing I had missed my appointment by an hour. Brittney was extremely rude got on the phone said what she needed to say and handed the phone to the receptionist without giving me a chance to speak or ask any questions. She said she would be dropping me and would keep me on for 30 days until I find another provider. Mind you I have been stuck in bed after my back went out on me, just had xrays done which was what the appointment was for and just trying to get by. What a way to care for new patients...

Christine Barnes I do not recommend this location if you have a child. My toddler was having a lot of anxiety about being at the clinic and none of the staff were friendly or reassuring to her before grabbing her and trying to run vitals so of course my child responded with fear and panic. The MA even said "children are the worst" after the encounter. Zero therapeutic communication. Dont depend on these people to have the skills to work with every age group. They get 2 small stars because they were the only place I could find that had access to rapid whooping cough tests.

Patricia Trudell The staff is incredible!!! I saw Dr. Rob , and he was awesome. Short wait time, caring, and compassionate nurses and doctors. Definitely would recommend to family and friends.

Miranda Ellert Miguel Posada and his MA Amanda are such a great duo when it comes to caring for their patients. The attentiveness, empathy and compassion they give is something you don’t find with most medical professionals these days. Miguel takes the time to hear his patients concerns, doesn’t rush and is fully engaged in conversations. I think every medical professional can learn from his techniques. Miguel and Amanda are a breath of fresh air and my anxiety during doctor appointments is nonexistent when I know I’m seeing them. Because of Miguel, I recommend Chas as the best medical clinic in Spokane.

Mari When my doctor of over 20+ years retired, I had a great deal of difficulty finding a new Primary Care Physician (PCP). Eventually, I was referred to Miguel Posada, ARNP, at Chas on Perry Street. I am happy to report I have received extraordinary care from Miguel during every visit! Additionally, the office staff at Chas is friendly and well-organized. Check-ins are swift and easy for both office and video appointments. Miguel Posada is incredibly skilled, knowledgeable, and caring. He follows up on all of my questions and always addresses issues which are concerning to me. His evaluations are consistently thorough. He quickly refers me for X-rays, mammograms, additional tests, etc., whenever necessary for a comprehensive diagnosis. I do see other physicians for heart and kidney problems I am experiencing. Miguel is always aware of this fact and is careful to review all test results from my entire chart as well as consult with the other physicians whenever he deems it necessary for optimum care. He is truly a consummate health care provider, and I highly recommend Miguel to anyone needing a new PCP.

ashshea86 Made an appointment as a new patient, it was a 3-month wait. They called me during work hours the day before to try to reschedule. However in their message they didnt say that they were canceling the appointment or needed to reschedule. When arrived I told them they should have informed me about that in the message. So I would have not waste my time coming to the facility. I was told there are certain things they cant say on a message due to laws. Thats a cop out.No different than sending a text appointment confirmation and has been done in the past when other providers cancelled with me. Was given a telehealth appointment. The doctor seemed like it was a waste of his time to be doing a video visit for a new patient. The only complaint I had was of an ear infection previously that didnt clear all the way up and pain beginning again . he told me to go back to my specialist. My specialist who by the way decided that I dont need any immediate appointments, doesnt get you in quickly and cost a whole lot of money to go to just to get some antibiotics...... unhelpful overall. Bad communication. Too long of a wait for the service. All around a bad experience when I was hoping to switch somewhere closer to home. Worth the drive to Spokane to stick with a different group. This is the first "low income" facility that actually made me feel low income and unimportant.

Cynthia Wells Very nice staff and proficient doctors/nurses! They were wonderful with my children, my daughter, who is 6 and has special needs, needed to get several shots, but they did great with her! They made it as quick as and painless as possible and were incredibly patient and kind.

matt rupp Negative Review of Spokane VA Medical Center As a 100% permanent and total veteran, I expect my healthcare to reflect the respect, efficiency, and care that I and my fellow veterans deserve. Unfortunately, my experiences with the Spokane VA have consistently fallen short of these expectations, leaving me frustrated, disappointed, and feeling marginalized. The primary care team assigned to me has failed to provide adequate support, and communication is nearly nonexistent. Getting someone on the phone is almost impossible, as the facility does not offer a way to contact front desks directly to inform them of running late for an appointment, ask simple questions, or confirm details. The only option is to leave a message, with no guarantee of a callback. In my experience, only about 20% of messages are returned, forcing me to rely on the VA’s cumbersome online messaging platform. Even then, I can only send messages if I know the specific person or department to contact, which is often not the case. This leaves me no choice but to physically visit the campus to find the right office, a process that is neither efficient nor convenient. The lack of accountability extends to basic scheduling. On one occasion, I scheduled an appointment in person, only to receive calls from the same staff member on four separate occasions—the day of scheduling, the next day, a week later, and a month later—each time claiming the appointment was submitted. Despite their assurances, it never was. Ultimately, I had to find the same doctor at their private community office and pay out of pocket to avoid the VA’s bureaucratic inefficiency. The disparity in care is also glaring. While I’ve seen my spouse receive excellent care, including follow-up calls and detailed breakdowns of results and recommendations, I’ve never experienced such attention or service. The contrast is both disheartening and unacceptable. I’ve reached out to the Patient Advocate multiple times, both in person and through the VA’s messaging system, to address these ongoing issues. While I appreciate their efforts, the time I’ve invested has yielded no tangible improvements. The system seems broken, with little urgency or accountability to address veterans’ needs. As a well-educated veteran with extensive business experience, I understand the challenges of managing operations and processes. However, the inefficiency, lack of communication, and disregard I’ve encountered at the Spokane VA are inexcusable. This facility and its staff require a complete overhaul to address systemic issues and provide the level of care veterans deserve. While I would willingly contribute to such changes, the current state of the VA healthcare system makes such efforts untenable. My experience with the Spokane VA has been a disheartening reminder of the work that needs to be done to ensure veterans receive timely, effective, and compassionate care. I hope this review serves as a wake-up call for the leadership of this facility to prioritize the needs of the veterans it is meant to serve.

Adreanna My grandfather spent his last few months in the CLC and VA hospice. They not only took care of my grandfather, but us, too. The care of every staff member made our last few months together the best it could be. We were able to spend time with him as family and not as caregivers.

Mne of the state Great care for my leg/foot injury. I Have no complaints at all. Been going to Rockwood for my son and my care for 10 years now and they have been great every time, except one and that was a mess up with their scheduling department. The doctors and nurses have ALWAYS been exceptional. Not sure what I can say here other than that.

Kathleen Morgan I have been going to Cheney Rockwood for 28 years and 11 months now. Most exchanges have been positive. Those that were not, were addressed and resolved by the staff… I think there is only one situation that was never resolved… and how many of us have had a relationship lasting nearly thirty years without incident?

Alexx Jobe The folks at pet emergency clinic were all so wonderful to deal with. From the moment we walked in, panicked, with our puppy who was feeling unwell to the moment he was discharged we were treated with respect and professionalism. They attended to our little guy quickly and thoroughly, and had him feeling better in no time. We even had a little bit of confusion concerning our bill which was cleared up without hesitation. From the triage team and the doctor who treated our puppy all the way up the ladder to the manager, miss Melanie, pet emergency clinic earned every one of these 5 stars!

Megan Tiffany A few days ago, my soul kitty developed a Saddle Thrombus and was paralyzed from his midsection down. He was in agonizing pain and it was absolutely petrifying. I was in shock and frantically had to find a place that would take him. I called this clinic and they told me to come in right away and advised that they had plenty of financing options since I was concerned about funding but knew I needed to bring him in. A nurse came out immediately and was so gentle and empathetic toward the situation. She called someone to help immediately and a tech came out right away to triage him. She was so gentle and calming, I felt I could really trust them and could tell they deeply cared. They could see how visibly upset I was and the vet brought me to an exam room to update me on the prognosis. Unfortunately, my boy was in a lot of pain and had lost all circulation to his legs. He had fluid in his lungs and around his heart and I had to make the awful decision to euthanize, however, it was the most humane one in that situation. They let me process everything and provided me with tissues and let me take all the time I needed alone. I was able to spend my boy’s last moments with him and as traumatic as that loss was, I felt that the compassion and incredible work the vet techs and nurses provided was unforgettable. I received paw prints and a beautiful little face print from them as well without even asking (I was too shook up to even consider that) and I am eternally grateful for this staff. Thank you so much for all you guys do and for being angels on earth for our animals. ❤️
