Hands down the best staff ever from the front desk, Urgent care, E.R., medical floor and Physicians. They have cared for my whole family since moving to Alva in June. Their Pediatrician Dr Burke is so sweet and takes her time to really understand the problem. Dr Scott Burke the physician is just as amazing he sat down and throughly went through all medical records to understand the problems not just "treat them" as I've see other doctors do. Regina is so wonderful, she truly has a passion for her patients and their health it shows. After coming to Share I wouldn't go anywhere else. Thank you to

Are you dying? Drive to Enid, cant make it to Enid? Attempt to make it to Cherokee, cant? Call a Veterinarian. The doctors, P.A.s and Nurse practitioners are very nice and professional, even though alot of good ones are ran off, the issue is like all business issues, Management. The people running the front couldn't be more incompetent and rude if they honest to god tried, but with being the only hospital in town, why fix it? So I stand behind my previous statement. If you HAVE to go here make sure its Truely a have to.

I second the review that said driving to Enid would be quicker. I laid there with an active kidney stone working its way through me, and they treated me like an addict. I was there for almost three hours, and three different people came to ask me how I knew it was a kidney stone. BECAUSE I'VE PASSED THEM BEFORE.

This clinic unfortunately has a lot of unscientific practices, as there's no Computational Neuroscientists in this clinic, so a "mental health" diagnosis is likely not to be helpful to patients that might be struggling.
Providers prescribe SSRIs without thoroughly screening patients for traumatic experiences, adding to the "prescription drug problem in America" by overprescription. Please know that, if you are somebody that is struggling, you are not alone, and help exists.

Paige Kruckenberg is the BEST, and I mean BEST physician I have had in 40 years on this planet. I simply do not trust a done else. I have seen many general practices in 40 years. Her bedside manner is beyond anything I have ever experienced. Her knowledge and willingness to do research on behalf of her patience makes me feel like she absolutely cares about her patients. It doesn't matter where I am at in the world. I will fly in to make sure she is involved with every aspect of my medical decisions and she has more than earned my trust, she has restored my faith in western medicine again, and has

I see some bad reviews from probably people that can never be made happy. All in all. In my experience, it was great. My son had a dislocated shoulder. The nurse was very helpful as we joked and laughed. The doctor was the most awesome guy as well. I left saying that was the best place to go to get hurt. They didnt get any billing information until my son was taken care of. We were however the only ones in the emergency room that day. Ive gotten a couple bills from them and they are very reasonable so far. I wrote this because I missed the customer survey call. And wanted to share my small
