A Team That Cares

Our clinical team is at the core of what makes this medical clinic stand out. Patients frequently praise the compassionate, attentive care they receive from nurses and providers alike.

• “Tammy was the only provider who took the time to listen to me and figure out what was going on. She was so sweet and so sympathetic.”

These comments underscore the warmth and professionalism you can expect. From the moment you step through our doors, you’ll be greeted by staff who genuinely care about your health journey.

Expert Providers Make the Difference

Two names shine among our many dedicated clinicians. Tammy Connors, celebrated for her thorough exams and empathetic approach, is often singled out in reviews for going the extra mile. Whether it’s a complex wound assessment or a routine consultation, Tammy’s attention to detail leaves patients feeling both heard and well-informed. Similarly, Dr. Larry brings a patient, unhurried manner—especially with children—ensuring families understand every aspect of care and feel confident in follow-up instructions.

Convenience and Virtual Options

Recognizing that life doesn’t always pause for illness, Penn State Health Urgent Care – Strausstown offers a Virtual Urgent Care service that brings our trusted providers into your home. Patients rave about the seamless experience with Nurse Anne and Tammy Connors via telehealth:

• “They are the BEST! So much nicer to sit at home… I would definitely recommend this to anyone!”

This option dramatically cuts down on wait times and eliminates travel, while maintaining the same level of expertise and personal attention found in our brick-and-mortar clinic.

Family-Friendly Environment

Parents appreciate how welcoming our facility is to children—especially when diagnostic tests can feel intimidating. Our X-ray technician, in particular, has earned kudos for turning a stressful chest X-ray into a positive, even fun experience for young patients. From playful conversation to gentle coaching, we strive to make every visit as stress-free as possible.

Patient Feedback and Continuous Improvement

At Penn State Health Urgent Care – Strausstown, we value honest feedback as the cornerstone of progress. While many patients commend our caring staff and top-tier clinical expertise, we’re mindful of areas where experience can be sharpened:

• Wait Times: Some visitors have reported waits longer than expected—even during non-peak periods.
• Check-In & Reception: A few reviews note disorganization at the front desk and less-than-friendly interactions.
• Billing Clarity: Questions have arisen over duplicate or unclear charges.
• Operational Limitations: Occasional lab hour reductions and equipment constraints have caused scheduling challenges.

These insights guide our ongoing efforts to streamline appointment flow, bolster front-desk training in communication, and enhance transparency in billing. Our commitment to you is simple: listen, adapt, and elevate every aspect of your patient journey.
