Annual Physical Exam
in Highland Heights, OH

Medicare wellness visit. Medicare sould require a more complete physical exam than they do. It is currently almost a waste of time. Love my doctor Patricia Levan. She is a very caring and knowledgeable physician.

Elise is EXCELLENT and extremely knowledgeable in her field of accupuncture. The front desk staff were pretty decent. The facility is very clean as things should be! The restroom was equally clean! Very much appreciated as most places do not have such tidy restrooms. I also really appreciated the pleasant art works. Most of them were very, "Happy," pieces! 😊 Im sure this will fall on deaf ears. However, Insurances need to cover more things like these since everyone's determined no one can get any real pain meds of any kind, any more. Afew ppl ruined it for the 50 million suffering in moderate to severe pain every day. Alive but not living, having lousy qualities of life. 😢 Degenerative anything simply doesn't improve, thus the word, "Degenerative." Tai Chi is also helpful, so is massage therapy, water therapy, and, sitting on the back of a walking horse. Big Pharma have not gone and found any viable replacements to the natural, plant based medicines. Both Tylenol and NSAIDS will destroy your liver and kidneys if that's all you've access to. It's merely a matter of time. It's not the Gov't's business. It's between a PHYSICIAN and their personal patient. The Physician who sees that patient, knows that patient as a human and, they should make the decisions together. It's called Physician/Patient privalege. (If this were Lawyer/ Client Privalege there would never have been an issue. Lawyers would have immediately sued.) There was a reason those medicines were used safely for the most part, for over 200 yrs. They're the only ones to fit perfectly like a key into those pain receptors in the brain. According to the DEA the ONLY 2 problem drugs that regularly kill ARE: Oxycontin/codone a total synthetic, and Fentanyl, the partial synthetic developed as a possible anesthetic in the 60's for surgeries. It didn't work. What ever happened to the Hippocratic Oath beginning w/ First, cause no harm? Allowing suffering and pain to continue needlessly is harm. Criminals are going to continue to be criminals no matter what. ONLY certain ppl have addictive personalities. Not everyone does. That's like saying don't build casinos bcz everyone has a gambling problem. MANY ppl really do, yet they constantly ignore that and build them anyway! MOST ppl took the Drug of Choice after surgery and stopped w/ no problems of so called withdrawal at all after the 8-9 weeks or more of recovery and physical therapy. These are all highly controlled meds anyway. By current definitions of dependency a person who has high blood pressure or diabetes is, "addicted, " to their medications. Are they going to be hauled away as addicts, too? This entire fiasco is lunacy, madness and, simply cruel and inhumane. Dogs are not allowed to suffer as humans, children, vets, disabled, the elderly, and, the dying are. A Physician goes into the Art and Practice of Medicine to EASE SUFFERING, heal and cure. Doctors are only interested in how much money they'll get, how they LOOK, as in, their reputations, and the bottom lines. From Your Own Play Book, " You cannot run Medicine as a business bcz people are not cattle." One of your own mottos that Western Reserve used to teach and instill in their students as a high value. "University Hospitals (used to) gives everyone regardless of ability to pay the exact same high quality care. That patient who cannot pay may simply just be put in a Ward and not given a room, " the same graduate from WESTERN RESERVE Medical School who told me the prior phrase told me this one. (NOT CASE.) He was willing to sometimes treat for free. Polititians have gone and made that Mercy illegal. 😠 Polititians suck. Only acouple of them in DC ( Desperately Corrupt) actually attended Medical School and saw/see patients. Ben Carson, MD, and former Senator, Scott Jensen, MD. There maaay be another but Congress doesn't usually attract the best and brightest. UH needs to return to her roots of easing suffering and provide real care with real pain medicines that are proven to truly ease suffering at the proper dosages and proper lengths of time to be determined by the individual prescribing Physician, be they a Surgeon, Internist, etc. Not determined by some life in an Ivory Tower Group who never see actual suffering on a day to day basis in an ER. UH must take her rights back as a Hospital for the sake of her Owners, Patients AND her Physicians! The Gov't has stolen them!!!! First by telling you that Physicians could no longer be Internists and Endocrinologists, or Internists and Gastroenterologists, or Internists and Rheumatologists! You allowed this to happen bcz you guys did nothing to stop it, even though it was a completely idiotic thing to do by the Governing Boards. It began further compartmentalizing what is a highly complex biological System, the human body! It was taught by you that it is a single interactive, integrated system. What effects one part effects another! Now patients go from Physician to Physician, none of whom are given the time to communicate with each other about their patients. The so called role of Primary Care Physician is Laughable! They've no clue what's going on! They've no time! They may TRY to follow a patient or two, but if they have a Zebra in their practice? Poor Zebra! They're left behind or kicked out of the herd as, too complex. It's not the fault of the Primary either. It is the System that's been allowed to Coagulate around them! They're cluttered w/ too much Busy Work. Hospitals should be in the business of Protecting their Best and Brightest! Offering them the Highest benefits to Stay with Them! Second, the Gov't is demanding to play doctor. A role not in the Constitutions of Federal or State Legislatures, and, one they are not even remotely qualified for. Forcing Physicians to see a patient every 15-20 minutes is a form of insanity. This is simply not enough time to spend with any one patient. It is not time enough to take a comprehensive history, or even to listen to the poor patient fumble to try and describe something they've not been trained to explain! It is the Role of the Physician to ask the proper questions and Guide the patient into describing what's wrong. Physicians need time to physically examine patients. Check their glands, tongue, eyes and ears. Palpate them properly and firmly. It's no wonder Physicians are retiring as fast as they can. They can no longer take the pressure to produce a Product instead of a Result. Telling Physicians who spent their entire lives studying to be Physicians what medicines they should be prescribing is Ludicrous, as well. Niether the Gov't, nor insurance companies should make those determinations, even if they have a "doctor," on staff. Those ppl don't see these patients! Nor should a Team make decisions over another, well qualified Physician! How would you like it if someone came and told you what underwear you were going to put on everyday from now on? That is what it's like for one of you to suddenly be told what to do by an ignorant, raving bureaucrat. That's the level of madness that this insanity has reached, especially now with this Cov-Control. When you take your dog to the vet, you demand The highest quality care for it! Do you not? Why would you not want the highest quality care for your relative (wife, daughter, son, husband...) if, unbeknownst to you, they were suddenly in the ER? Wouldn't you want their personal physician to atleast see them, or, speak to the attending on the phone? Or that the ER Physician will have Mercy and give them pain medicine that will actually work? And not amputate a limb w/out trying to consult SOMEONE or Try to save it? (Metro Health is the Last level 1 Trauma Center in this entire area. Why is that??! Why don't you even have one level 1??! There aren't even any level Two Trauma Centers! Only One 1! All the rest are level 3!! So if your child cuts her finger off (God forbid) you MUST go to West 25th's ER! ) There is no aggregate data from double blind studies bcz there have never been double blind studies conducted on morphine and it's derivatives, "... No physician in their right mind would subject a control group to such a level of suffering... " Stand Up, UH! Take back your rights from the overbearing Gov't! Both State and Federal Gov't's must give you, a HOSPITAL, back your rights to both practice and teach real medicine, as you once did. They must stop editing the text books of so called, "false information," that doesn't fit the media's narrative, or, the ppl who now "own," the AMA. Be the Good Guys Once Again!! And while you're at it, plz, change the name of the School back to Western Reserve. PS, It's ER not ED (ED means something completely different and dysfunctional.) Your "Talking Groups" are incorrect. All that money you and SW paid for those, "studies" was a waste of time! The General Public still call them ER's!

From the emergency room who I feel saved my life to the nursing department dietary department housekeeping physical therapy occupational therapy they were all really great and helped me towards my goal of going home and I do believe your dietary system and how you do it it’s the best ever to be able to call down to the kitchen and order what you want to eat off the menu really makes a difference especially when you’re not feeling well thanks so much to all

We like coming to Ohio Valley‘s building there it is so convenient to be able to get everything done in one building I’ve been going to physical therapy since October with very good experience I’ve always had great experience with the breast exams and anything else that I’ve had done there today I also had bone density and that went very well the young lady was awesome thank youHaving a place to come to where you are assured that everything will come out and greet you all have an awesome day and stay safe

We came in for a sports physical. It was easy to make an Appt online and the actual Appt went smoothly. I would choose this facility again for our urgent needs.

The staffing were professional and friendly. Facility was clean and wait time was 5 mts. The nurse handed the physical copy of the results when we waited outside in the parking lot after 18 mts. I will update once I have confirmation that insurance covered the tests.

Was seen today for lab work related to an annual physical . The wait wasn't too bad and the phlebotomist was friendly, skillful and gentle. I would definitely recommend this lab facility.

Went for a physical everything was covered sent for labs etc. Dr. Levan is one of the best doctors around. She’s attentive concerned and proactive. I love this practice

I had my annual physical exam labs. I had very little wait time. I appreciated the care that was taken as we signed in to offer privacy and sanitation with the Covid concerns. My tech was friendly, professional, and drew the labs easily without pain.

Both text notifications you sent to me did NOT have the facility address, so I entered the Clayborne building which to me to a residence. In the future please include physical address of clinic.

Went great. Wait was minimal. Got a physical and the blood draw was quick and painless. Dr, Duncan was her usual professional self and answered all my questions.

I love Dr. Paula- Parker Dueley she always listen to what I have going on not just physically but personally because life can affect how your feeling. Again just love her the staff has changed a bit not as friendly as in the past but never leaving my doctor.

We came in for a sports physical for our 7 yo son and it could not have gone better. From the sweet woman at the front desk being so welcoming and answering our questions, to Christi the MA taking his vitals and checking his eyes, to the PA James, it was a great visit from start to finish. We will definitely be back here.

Earlier a staff member in another department walked me to where the door is for the lab work. She’s working in the front office on the ground floor with physical therapy. Absolutely wonderful, though I don’t remember her name. So grateful she showed me where it was located, due to the total lack of signs for navigation to the lab! The lab technician and the gatekeepers were all super, but the lab technician/nurse was FABULOUS! Energetic and skilled at her job. Excellent experience! Even though a few people were in the waiting room, we all seemed to come at once, there was little wait time.

Has been great service each time I have been there. I know Covid has requirements, but there were as many as 12 to 14 people in the waiting room with only 6 chairs available. There were several at least 8 women & children, & 4 elderly people in the waiting room. Please add add'l chairs for this type of condition. If you have that many people (with mask) you should be able to have enough chairs, especially for women & children, I'm a 74 yr old man & don't mind standing, since I am physically able to.

We arrived at 6:46 and checked in on app saying we had arrived. It said there were 3 people ahead of us and then eventually showed that we were next. It never notified us that it was our turn and never said to go into Urgentcare. I told my sick daughter we just needed to be patient that we weren’t allowed to go in until we received notice from the app, due to Covid. Finally after waiting over an hour in the car,I risked breaking the rules to go in and inquire about our turn. After all - it was getting close to closing time. The receptionist was very nice but seemed a little frustrated with the app. She said I should have come in and signed in on the physical paper to let them know I had arrived. I have no problem with the receptionist, she was very helpful and a couple of the employees apologized for the wait. They got us in soon after that. My question is why did the app tell us to wait and refresh the wait list when it didn’t mean anything? It even had at column called “at clinic” that said “yes” because I had responded yes to the app when we arrived. The app should have clearly stated that I needed to “go into Urgentcare building and sign in” instead of leading me to believe that checking in on the app was sufficient. Thank you to the staff at Fairfield Urgentcare. I’m sure this app confusion is frustrating for you too.

I had my Physical with Dr. Robert Cirino and it went very well. He’s the very best. New doctor’s and interns should shadow this man and your patient surveys and your hospital reviews would skyrocket with glowing results. We sure need more physicians like Dr. Cirino!

This was a very good experience. My only complaint was that I wanted to schedule an appointment online & the app would only allow me to schedule Wednesdays & Saturdays. My physical was today (Monday) & I wanted the associated blood draw today also. So I waited in line; fortunately not many people were there this morning unlike my last appointment day.

I needed bloodwork with my physical and waked up and signed in and within 5 minutes they called me back. It went very quickly and smoothly. She did a great job, didn't hurt!

My experience was quick clean friendly and efficient. I enjoy going to see my doctor once a year for my annual physical I have been lucky to only need him once a year. The girls in the office are always friendly my nurse is always friendly and attentive and I always get all my questions asked and answered. This visit I was sent to get blood drawn 3 tubes my phlebotomist was friendly attentive and the experience was virtually pain-free. I thank you all for a wonderful experience.
