Reviews

At Careworks, our patients' satisfaction is very important to us. We are proud of the fact that 99% of our patients would recommend Careworks to family and friends.

Here's what some of our patients have to say about our service:

I received much needed care in the midst of a snow storm!  They were very polite, understanding, caring and professional.  They answered all my questions and took care of all my needs.  I would highly recommend the Careworks clinic. (2/25/10)
HG, Tannersville

 

I was seen by Dr. Ken Dotson on Monday, February 15, 2009, for treatment of bronchitis.  He was very professional and compassionate.  He prescribed an antibiotic which had me feeling a lot better within one week. (2/21/10)
LR, Tannersville

 

My request for information was retrieved and a return call came within a couple of hours of my call.  At the clinic, I was greeted warmly, the process explained, information was taken and the H1N1 shot provided with expert hands.  The whole process took very little time. (2/19/10)
RA, Saylorsburg

 

Using Careworks for a minor sore throat was much more convenient than sitting in a doctor’s office for hours.  The entire process took probably 15 minutes including a short wait to be seen.  The doctor/nurse was polite and professional.  I would definitely return. (2/19/10)
VD, Tannersville

 

I visited Careworks in Tannersville.  PA-C Ken Dotson took care of my needs in a friendly and professional manner.  It was a pleasant experience to my surprise.  I will definitely recommend your medical services to others. (2/2/10)
SP, Tobyhanna

 

I think it was a great idea to have a clinic right in work. (2/3/10)
DR, Scranton

 

My husband and I went in to get a seasonal flu shot.  We were happy that Weis offered this shot.  Our doctor had run out of the shot, and when we saw that Weis was offering it, we took advantage of it. (2/10/10)
CS, S. Abington Township

 

I thought it was very convenient.  Janelle Sharma was very professional, well mannered and treated me very well.  I didn’t feel like she rushed or was in a hurry.  She listened to what I was there for. (2/8/10)
CH, Allentown

 

I was greatly pleased with my Careworks experiences.  I recommend you to everyone.  Your staff was very knowledgeable and helpful.  Your service exceeded my expectations! (2/8/10)
LG, Schnecksville

 

After waiting 25 minutes at a walk-in care center, I decided to call Careworks to see if there was a long wait.  Being the mother of a 16-month-old, I don’t have time to be sick or under the weather.  Shara told me there wasn’t a wait, and I told her I’d be there in 5 minutes (I was right up the road).  I did wait about 20 minutes for her to take care of another patient.  In the meantime, I called the hot-line and gave the lady on the phone all of my info. So my chart was ready when I was called.  All Shara had to do was ask me a few questions and fill out the rest of my chart and take a look at me.  This was quick, painless and my prescription was filled right there at Weis afterwards.  I would definitely go there again. (1/26/10)

Ken Dotson from the Careworks in Tannersville is great to work with.  He is caring and quick as well as genuine.  I found that even though teaching makes your schedule busy, I was able to get in to Careworks with the time I had.  It is very helpful and affordable.  I will most definitely return. (1/23/10)
RW, Newfoundland

 

Thank you very much for providing Careworks in Tannersville.  Our primary care physician is located a distance from our home.  Your center is much more convenient for basic care needs.  Your caregivers, Ken and Mary, have been very helpful, considerate and kind.  Thank you. (1/28/10)
LH, Canandensis

 

I was very pleased with the services I received at Careworks in Tannersville.  Ken Dotson, PA-C was professional and knowledgeable of my health care needs.  The wait time was maybe 15 minutes or less.  It sure beats going to the ER, which I considered initially.  I am really glad to know that Careworks is available, and it is very convenient and close to home. (1/27/10)
TH, Tannersville

 

I felt the attention and treatment provided to me by Ken Dotson was excellent!  It’s wonderful to be able to have service available every day without waiting weeks for an appointment. (1/27/10)
HM, Mt. Pocono

 

I liked not having to wait for an appointment and then sitting in the doctor’s office 15-30 minutes after my appointment time before finally seeing the doctor.  She treated my sinus infection and made sure the medication she prescribed would not interfere with my other meds.  She was very pleasant and took her time. (1/25/10)
DH, New Tripoli

 

Your service was a lifesaver.  No appointment, friendly atmosphere and quality care. (1/22/10)
DA, Schnecksville

 

Your employees were courteous and took their time with me.  It was very convenient and the service rendered was very professional.  I will use them again when the occasion arises. (1/21/10)

Your staff is very friendly, personable and very attentive to the needs of their patient.  Thank you very much.  This has been a great experience.  I am personally pleased and delighted to share about the wonderful care. (1/20/10)
LE, Stroudsburg

 

The care given me my first time was very caring by the PA.  My family doctor was out of town, and I am glad to say your clinic is conveniently near my home.  My daughter also uses your services from time to time for her children and is also quite satisfied.  I would definitely use your services again if needed.  Thank you. (1/15/10)
DN, Saylorsburg

 

After two visits this week—one pre-flu and one post-flu, I feel very satisfied by the service, diagnosis, medications and follow-up visits.  I visited on 1/10/10 and 1/18/10 and both PAs were excellent. (1/18/10)

We met with Shara Albrich today.  My 3 ½-year-old son was sick and grumpy.  Shara was very patient, informative, and kind.  We really enjoyed our experience and will recommend you to friends and family.  We will return again.  Thanks for your help. (1/15/10)
KK, Schnecksville

 

I visited the Careworks site in Stroudsburg, PA.  Diane was my CRNP and she was absolutely wonderful.  The visit was fast, registration was a breeze, I paid my co-pay and left with scripts for antibiotics soon after.  I applaud this system of healthcare, where I don’t have to wait weeks to see a doctor when I feel ill right now. (1/15/10)
GR, Stroudsburg

 

Thank you so much for giving me a physical for work.  You guys responded the quickest, and if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have gotten this job.  The physician, Dianne Hickok, had taken my physical and she worked great with me.  She was very friendly, she never raised her voice to me, she was courteous, and very professional.  I would suggest her to anyone.  Thank you once again for giving me this physical. (1/14/10)
SB, Scranton

 

Thanks for my painless flu shot.  I’m very glad to have the Careworks center so close to home and with hours for everyone. (1/14/10)
DG, Clarks Summit

 

I was fortunate enough to have Jill Elliott serve me on several occasions when I was feeling really ill.  She is very thorough and was a great help when my physicians weren’t available.  She monitors my blood pressure and even gave me my flu shot.  We have a terrific relationship. (1/13/10)
EH, Schnecksville

 

Very conveniently located for what I needed.  The price I paid out of pocket was less expensive than my co-pay. (1/11/10)
ER, Dalton

 

My wife and I had swine flu shots (H1N1) and the caregiver was courteous, polite and very professional. (1/9/10)
AH, Henryville

 

I had a pleasant experience.  The nurse practitioner was wonderful!  We visited over Christmas weekend and were grateful this was open, and we didn’t have to fight for an appointment on Monday. (1/9/10)
GC, E. Stroudsburg

 

We appreciate the kind and appropriate manner in which we were treated at this facility for a flu shot. (1/7/10)
E & W P, Stroudsburg

 

Fast and efficient! (1/5/10)
AD, Slatington

 

Excellent facility and staff.  Used theTannersville facility on Dec. 30, a very busy time of year.  I was seen quickly and diagnosed accurately.  The availability of your facility saved me from a New Year’s holiday that could have been miserable.  Thanks to Ken Dotson, PA-C, for his prompt service and compassion. (1/2/10)
SG, Perkiomenville

 

I received a Zostavax injection at the Weis Market Careworks office in Clarks Summit, PA.  Prior to this I didn’t know anything about the office and the clinic services offered.  I was amazed, pleased and very satisfied with the professional, friendly and caring service offered to me by Dianne Hickok, the health care provider.  Also, the office (clinic) was clean and well organized.  I’m grateful for the experience. (1/1/10)

Fast, friendly service.  Kenneth Dotson is wonderful with the children. (12/30/09)

Fast service with a smile.  Convenient healthcare and affordable. (12/23/09)

Mr. Dotson was friendly, informative and definitely competent.  It was a pleasant surprise to find such a high level of care in a small outpatient facility. (1/1/10)
PV, Stroudsburg

 

Your employee, Janelle M. Sharma, was very professional and very pleasant to deal with.  Your office was very busy but she did not rush the patients.  Took her time and was very thorough. (12/21/09)
AR, Allentown

 

I love going to Careworks.  The convenience and the competence of the provider is wonderful.  Most of the time you do not have to wait long, but I recently went the Saturday after Christmas and there was a very long wait.  In this case your provider was extremely nice letting people know the time line.  I will recommend this service to everyone I come in contact with.  Thank you so much. (12/26/09)
J, Marshalls Creek

 

While visiting Tannersville, PA, I was taken very ill.  I went into Weis Markets store #166 in Tannersville.  I was seen by a Mr. Kenneth Dotson.  He was very kind and efficient.  He listened to my problems and gave me a checkup and prescribed medication as necessary.  All in all, it was a pleasant experience.  He was extremely professional.  I would highly recommend this clinic.  Wish there were more of these.  Thank you. (12/11/09)
FN, Tannersville

 

I was seen immediately and Jill was thorough with my exam.  She was cheerful all three times I visited your facility.  It is so convenient to be able to walk in and get help and not have to call my doctor’s office and wait to be fit into a schedule.  I can get my prescription right away and be back home within an hour’s time. (12/14/09)
CH, Germansville

 

I thought Ken Dotson (PA-C) was very knowledgeable and professional.  He advised us to see a podiatrist for our son’s foot problem.  I will use your services again. (12/10/09)
JB, Tannersville

 

First time I used Careworks for my son.  He was not feeling good and his regular doctor was too far away.  The attention was great and the nurse practitioner was excellent.  I will whenever in town use the service again in the event of an emergency. (10/1/09)
DR

 

I just moved into the area and did not yet find a doctor’s office, and wouldn’t you know it, Saturday before a holiday I needed some post flu lingering symptoms checked out.  Online I found a Careworks clinic I could find on my own.  When I got there in Weis I waited 2 hours with lots of other folks.  I was skeptical about the kind of treatment and care I would receive, but when it was my turn, PA-C Kenneth Dotson talked me through the paperwork assuring me I was not alone in the post flu symptoms I was presenting with.  He gave me a great checkup, and I was able to fill the prescription I needed.  He was very efficient and had a wonderful manner.  The whole process was very good.  Thank you from this newbie. (11/21/09)
TC, Pocono Lake

 

Excellent in every way! (12/1/09)
JF, Clarks Summit

 

This was the first time I used Careworks and I was very much satisfied.  The nurse was thorough and professional.  This is definitely an asset to our community. (12/2/09)
RB, Kutztown

 

Kenneth Dotson took great care of me!  I was chaperoning a youth retreat where I had to be at the top of my game, but I was sick and far from home (Tannersville).  I was in and out quickly, Mr. Dotson ran the required tests, and wrote up a prescription for me.  I easily finished up the trip and got on my way to recovery.  Mr. Dotson was professional, kind, and efficient!  He was definitely my hero that day! (12/2/09)
CK, Media

 

Waiting time was not long at all; doctor always helpful, pleasant and friendly; answered all my questions; will recommend others to him and have already recommended people. (12/3/09)
NV, Tannersville

 

Ken Dotson, PA-C is a true professional.  I found him to be caring and agreed with his diagnosis.  I would use the Careworks clinic in the future.  I was more satisfied than when I see my PCP.  Thank you. (12/3/09)
MW, Tannersville

 

I have visited Careworks in Clarks Summit on two different occasions and both times have found the care worker to be competent and caring. (12/4/09)
LN, Waverly

 

Clinician was very thorough, considerate and professional.  I really like the paging system and how quickly I was seen.  I would recommend Careworks to my friends and family. (12/9/09)
MT, Allentown

 

Every time I use the Careworks clinic I’m treated great.  They are thorough and cordial.  I usually don’t have to wait long either. (12/10/09
CL, Stroudsburg

 

Mr. Ken Dotson examined my fiancé thoroughly and explained everything so we could understand it.  We have gone to the Careworks clinics many times for affordable healthcare and have always had pleasant people care for us.  Very efficient and thorough. (11/10/09)
BT, Tannersville

 

I have brought my grandchildren to Careworks a few times and I want to say that every time I go there, I am greeted with smiles and very courteous persons.  The people are friendly, courteous and respectful.  I have never had a bad experience there.  Many thanks also for being so understanding with children. (11/29/09)
GM, Walnutport

 

I was seen and evaluated by Janelle M. Sharma a short time after my arrival:  a short trip to shop for a few items in the Weis Market, back to a chair and I was seen promptly.  The pharmacy next to the clinic filled my script, also promptly, and I was out the door.  Seen by doctor, script in hand, and shopped—all within one hour!  I’ve recommended this Careworks clinic to everyone in my family.  My daughter and her husband use it and take either daughter there when needed.  My sister has also been there.  I’m thankful for your service to our area. (12/1/09)

Awesome!  Friendly, clean and convenient. (11/15/09)

I get good help at Careworks, get taken care of right away and don’t have to wait for a week to be seen by my primary doctor. (11/9/09)
KV, Tannersville

 

I moved to the Poconos Jan. 2008 from Philadelphia, losing my medical coverage.    I hadn’t had blood work since I moved, and I was really anxious to have it done.  I was referred to you by an agency in Stroudsburg not knowing you were part of Geisinger.  I went to the one at Mr. Z’s Tannersville and was very glad I did.  The person there (Kenny) was pleasant, sure of himself, and made me feel relaxed about what he was going to do.  I have running veins and I usually get bruised and it hurts to take my blood.  Not this time!  I really appreciated that.  And, for those who aren’t insured, the price is very affordable.  At this rate I can keep up with this every three months or so like I’m used to doing.  It also allowed me to bring someone else in who doesn’t have coverage.  Thank you, Careworks.  I will be using your services and referring others as best I can. (11/11/09)
JC, Mt. Pocono

 

I really like that the Careworks office is open on weekends and even though there were a lot of patients ahead of us, the nurse was very efficient and moved quickly through the line.  It is very convenient. (11/6/09)
MC, Dalton

 

Our two children needed sports physicals ASAP and we were advised by our doctor’s office to call Careworks that we would be seen quickly and at a lower cost as well.  They were right and we were impressed.  The physicals were very complete and the nurse, Diane, was great with the kids.  She talked with them every step of the way.  They enjoyed her and found her to be very interesting. (11/8/09)
LS, Moscow

 

I received excellent help from the nurse.  I was able to get my physical as well as my TB test.  You’re wonderful.  Thank you very much. (11/9/09)

Great caring nurses.  Great service.  Love the location.  I wish all grocery stores had this. (11/5/09)
RJ, Slatington

 

Shara Albrich was awesome.  She saw us ASAP, was very good with my 10-year-old daughter, and was very helpful with directions on meds.  She also remembered to ask me if I needed a school note.  Thank you so much for your well-priced healthcare. (11/4/09)
AF, Schnecksville

 

I have been to this clinic before and I can honestly say I loved the service.  Not only is it more convenient but it is open seven days a week.  The best part for me is that my major doctor is in New York, so it’s great that I don’t have to travel all the time.  And you take my insurance. (11/2/09)
MG, Stroudsburg

 

I was quite impressed with the clinic at Weis Tannersville.  By chance, I was able to have an injection there and found the PA very informed and he answered questions in a very thorough, friendly manner. (10/29/09)
JG

 

Everytime I go to the clinic I feel comfortable and know that I’m going to get good care.  I’m an asthmatic and have numerous allergies.  I can’t afford to see my regular allergist as I have no health insurance.  I know my body and how the doctor has treated me in the past and going to Careworks has been a comfort to me.  They have treated me accordingly and they are very caring. (10/29/09)
CL, Stroudsburg

 

Dorothy Wheaton was extremely professional, knowledgeable and friendly.  I had not visited Careworks prior to this visit, and I was impressed with the level of service I received.  It was very convenient, fast and effective.  Ms. Wheaton is a great asset to Careworks.  I will recommend Careworks to all my friends. (10/15/09)
MB, Hellertown

 

Dr. Ken Dotson is so nice and understanding.  He actually listens to your problems and takes a real interest in them.  He is very caring.  He does not rush you and he is just “the best.”  He’s calm, cool and collected.  He is what doctors used to be years ago.  Good job, Doc. (10/26/09)
DJ, Tannersville

 

Our experience with Careworks at Weis Market in Allentown, PA, has been excellent.  We have used your facility many times and found a friendly, courteous and caring atmosphere.  We are fortunate to have Janelle Sharma to aid us and for her loving care. (10/27/09)
Mr. & Mrs. RH, Allentown

 

Careworks is a great service for those of us who do not have health insurance in the United States.  Physicians can charge up to hundreds of dollars for a simple visit.  Thanks to Careworks, I was able to obtain a prescription for my asthma at a very reasonable fee.  I only wish Careworks provided more medical services. (10/15/09)
RS, Tannersville

 

This was my very first visit to this location, and I was very impressed.  My wait was not long at all.  I got what I needed to get done, and I met a very nice informative PA-C, Ken Dotson.  He gave me a lot of important information. (10/14/09)
LJ, Tannersville

 

Careworks is located in the same store as where I work, so it was convenient for me to go there.  I did not have to call my family doctor to make an appointment.  I was treated right away and the doctor was very helpful and concerned.  Thank you for your quick and professional service. (10/10/09)
GS, Stroudsburg

 

I was very grateful for Careworks being there after working an eight–hour shift, not feel well and it was too late in the day to see my family MD.  I was blessed that an angel, Shara Albrich was on duty and she knew immediately that I had pneumonia, began treatment and sent me for a chest X-ray which confirmed her diagnosis.  She advised me not to work until I had a follow-up X-ray which was much better because of her excellent treatment.  I usually go to see her now at the onset of URI because it gets so bad so quick due to my asthma.  I’ve always been treated extremely well by Shara and her associate.  She was excellent also.  My husband has also been treated like royalty.  Thank you, Careworks, for coming to the Lehigh Valley to help us. (10/10/09)

This was the best doctor visit experience that I have ever had!  Quick, friendly, accurate and extremely caring, professional care.  Greatly appreciate Careworks. (9/26/09)

I was very pleased with the level of service.  Mr. Dotson, PA-C, was extremely professional and courteous.  I would not hesitate to use this facility and would definitely recommend it to others. (10/7/09)

Efficient, thorough, competent care at an affordable price in a clean environment.  Thank you.  (9/15/09)
MS, Schnecksville

 

The PAC, Ken Dotson, was very friendly and knowledgeable.  He was genuinely concerned about my condition.  The low cost of the visit was a relief as I have no insurance and being sick I have been unable to work regularly.  He also made sure he gave me prescriptions I could afford to fill.  This service is great. (10/5/09)
JC, Gouldsboro

 

Fast, efficient care close to home and the PAs are friendly and my kids love them! (10/5/09)

In July I had to be treated for a severe case of poison ivy.  Lisa Wippel was the person on duty.  She was cheerful, kind, prompt and I felt I got very good care and personalized service.  I commend her highly. (8/16/09)
GC, Winterhaven, FL

 

A friend told me about Careworks and said they take walk-ins without insurance as well.  There were four people in front of me at the time, and I only had to wait about 40 minutes.  Diane Whitcomb was very professional and approachable, easy to talk to and gave great advice to fight my allergies.  I would recommend Careworks to others in need of quality, friendly care. (9/4/09)
KF, E. Stroudsburg

 

Shara Albrich treated me at your facility.  She was terrific.  She really understood my problem and listened to me.  She called to follow up which I appreciated.  She really knows what she is doing.  I would use your facility again if I knew Shara was working. (9/18/09)
BJ, Macungie

 

Jill was very friendly and professional on this visit for the flu shot.  She asked pertinent questions and administered the injection with me barely feeling it.  She is always friendly.  Many times on my weekly grocery shopping trips, I will stop by and if she isn’t busy, I’ll have my blood pressure taken.  She is always ready to answer questions. (9/18/09)

Excellent service every time I go. (9/22/09)

The Careworks we visited was excellent!  My spouse and I were in need of a quick vaccination, as we were flying to an archaeological dig in Israel just a few days later.  We were in and out in under half an hour.  The nurses were very kind, as well—answering our questions and carrying on conversations with us both as we received our tetanus shots.  We’d recommend the Careworks services to anyone! (916/09)

Service was great.  Wait time was minimal.  Caregiver, Mary, was courteous and helpful.  Have already recommended your service to others. (9/19/09)
DR, Tannersville

 

Talk about convenience!  I have used the Careworks clinic approximately four times in the past two years.  I have always been treated like a human being and not a number.  The CRNP is knowledgeable and had a nice bedside manner.  The longest I had to wait to be seen is approximately 20 minutes.  They take my insurance, send a report to my family doctor and, if need be, they are able to write a prescription which I get filled at the same building!  I highly recommend Careworks. (9/9/09)
DT, Greentown

 

I have referred Careworks, especially Diane Whitcomb, to everyone I have seen since my visit the other day.  Quick, clean super nice and patient with my 3 children who came with me (ages 7, 5 and 3 ½).  Thank you. (9/11/09)

This healthcare facility is fantastic.  My doctor was on vacation and her partner was off.  I had bronchitis and couldn’t wait one more day.  Because I shop at Weis, I knew Careworks was there.  So I signed in and waited only about 20 minutes.  The experience was fabulous!  The nurse was so knowledgeable, compassionate and efficient.  The office was very clean and organized.  I was diagnosed with bronchitis, got advice I didn’t know before about my asthma and walked out with my prescription.  I will use Careworks again! (9/11/09)
DZ, Clarks Summit

 

This service puts minor medical care into perspective.  My doctor just moved to Philadelphia and my general doctor is 2 hours away.  I knew I had bronchitis and didn’t want to wait weeks for an appointment with a new doctor.  Ken Dotson was courteous and knowledgeable.  I would recommend him to anyone. (9/3/09)

Great service from Lisa Wippel at the Schnecksville clinic. (9/4/09)

Careworks in Clark Summit is a superb community resource and an exemplary and critical component of what the healthcare system in the U.S. must become.  Thank you, Geisinger Health System, for leading the way in healthcare reform. (9/8/09)
WN, Factoryville

 

On July 4, I thought I had a sore throat, so I went to Weis in Schnecksville, PA, and bought Benadryl.  I was going to go home and take my medicine.  As I was leaving Weis, I talked to Lisa Wippel.  She looked at my throat and said my throat was closing.  She called Lehigh Valley Hospital ER and said I was coming there.  I was in the hospital 2 days as my throat was almost closed.  Lisa saved my life.  She was so thorough and pleasant to me.  She is dedicated.  I stopped in to see her today and thanked her.  I’m 80 years old.  I live alone and if she wouldn’t have told me to go to the hospital, who knows how I could have reacted at home.  Thank you for having these services at stores near us.  It was Sunday and I couldn’t go to a doctor.

I was very pleased to be treated at the Careworks facility in Stroudsburg on Friday, Aug. 21.  Dr. Ramon Torres was excellent!  Besides diagnosing my illness correctly, he was also very caring and professional during my treatment.  We were on vacation at Shawnee and were lucky to use Careworks.  I’ve already recommended Careworks to several of my friends who were also vacationing at Shawnee.  Special thanks to Dr. Torres! (8/25/09)

I think it was a fantastic idea of providing, quality healthcare in the Weis supermarkets.  Too often our ER’s fill up with minor scrapes, bruises, and other ailments.  It is nice to know that I can just drive down the street to Weis and have a quicker turnaround with the same level of care.  This was my first visit there on Aug. 11 for my daughter.  The attending physician made us feel very welcomed.  I’m sure I will go there again in the future as I have two daughters under the age of four. (8/27/09)

I attended Careworks in Stroudsburg on several occasions.  My children and I have visited this facility over the past year and have always been received with a warm and professional staff member.  The attentiveness and prompt response to questions and concerns were very appreciative.  I have recommended your facility to my family and friends.  Also, thank you to Ramon Torres, PA-C, for his assistance and professional advice.

I was visiting family in Pennsylvania when I developed symptoms of a urinary tract infection.  My son told me about Careworks and my husband drove me there.  I was seen immediately, treated courteously and professionally and was on my way to the pharmacy 25 minutes later.  The experience was worlds away from an emergency room visit and was perfectly appropriate for my care.

I was really pleased with the care I received on 8/10. Diane was very knowledgeable, professional and attentive to my health issue. As a nurse myself, I felt the care, concern and kindness shown to me was truly exceptional. She was thorough and explained the prescription follow up. This is my first experience with Geisinger and I was very impressed, personally. (8/10/09)

The staff I saw was professional, courteous, and attentive. They are as great as our personal doctor. Would definitely recommend them. (8/10/09)

I was completely satisfied with the services I received from Careworks.  Diane was very helpful and extremely thorough.  I felt very confident that I was traveling safely.  I had all the relevant shots, pill, etc. and was warned about all potential dangers. (8/13/09)

Very convenient, short waiting time, very reasonably priced (for someone with no insurance), pharmacy right there.  Overall, an excellent experience. (8/13/09)

Professional, caring, personal, thorough, reasonably priced, rather fast response time; exudes confidence and is interested in me and my medical problem.  This was like visiting my old family MD, a throwback to when medical service put the patient first—how refreshing and how rewarding. (8/3/09)

It was a Sunday.  Thank God for Careworks!  My son did not have to suffer another day or night.  He was able to get the care and help he needed right away. (8/2/09)

I have had the occasion to use Careworks several times.  Each visit was very pleasant and helpful as to answering any and all my concerns and problems.  I would and do definitely encourage anyone who needs help promptly and conveniently to utilize your services.  Again, I will surely use Careworks as needed for procedures you cover.  The convenience and compassionate care are commendable.

I took my 87 year old father to your location in Tannersville.  Mr. Ken Dotson took care of him.  Mr. Dotson was wonderful and very helpful to me and my father.  It was a true professional experience that not only provided needed immediate help but was a friendly personal experience.  Thank you.

I made the right choice going to the Weis Careworks in Schnecksville.  The PA on duty, Jill Holter, saw me almost immediately and quickly made me feel at ease.  She listened to my concerns and worked with me in choosing a medication I could tolerate.  Normally doctors or emergency centers take forever to get help and I find them intimidating.  This Careworks was a very pleasant surprise. (7/31/09)

Jill Holter and Lisa Wippel are always very professional and very caring.  Both girls always have a smile on their face. They also go above and beyond when it comes to both my children.  Lisa actually was the one who got my three year old son to start taking his Tylenol without a fuss! (7/25/09)

I didn’t have to wait.  The nurse was very nice.  Explained what I had to watch for.  I had the shingles shot.  I’ll come back again if need be. (7/17/09)

My boyfriend and I have both been treated at Careworks.  The service was great. Everyone is kind, informative, helpful and all in a timely fashion.  Thank you very much. (7/1/09)

It was a great experience. This is a very valuable service. I was on vacation and had to see a doctor on Sunday due to poison ivy getting out of control. You saved my vacation. The convenience of this service is beyond measure. I wish I had this service available at home. The doctor was fantastic. (7/8/09)

On Friday, June 5, I called the doctor's office in the a.m. about my son having an earache.  Finally, after three calls to them and no return call back,  it was now too late in the day for them to see him.  I took my 11 year old to Careworks.  We were seen quickly and it was an extremely thorough check up.  We were explained to that his pain was not from an infection but from pressure from the ear canal.  The visit was an extremely informative visit.  He was prescribed a new allergy medication and a nasal spray.  The PA  was excellent - would like to see her again. (6/6/09)

Careworks in Clarks Summit is great.  The line is usually short (if there is one!).  I get some grocery shopping done either while I wait or after my visit.  Ms. Hickok is very polite and takes time to explain my questions.  Thank you. (6/3/09)
JS, Dickson City

 

Great outpatient facility--convenient, reasonable cost, wonderful idea, while you wait in a grocery store complete with paging system. You thought of everything, including your staff's ability to treat, diagnose and prescribe. Diane Hickok has always been very patient and a great teacher of health care info. Outstanding idea for an acute care facility. (5/12/09)
JL, Dunmore

 

I brought my mother in to Careworks as she was not feeling well. We met with Ken Dotson. My mother also has Alzheimer's. Mr. Dotson was not only thorough with the exam, he was extremely kind to both myself and my mother. It is extremely difficult to take her anywhere and the doctor's offices usually take forever. The service we received was wonderful and timely. Thank you. (5/20/09)

I enjoyed my visit to Careworks. I did not have to wait to be seen. Ms. Hickok was very friendly. I felt very comfortable. I was in and out in a good amount of time--no delays. I would suggest the clinic to anyone. (5/26/09)

I have not yet hooked up with a family doctor since moving to Pa., so when I awoke one morning with an eye infection, I thought I would try Careworks. I was extremely pleased. Only a short wait and very professional and friendly service. I would recommend Careworks to everyone. Thank you. (5/27/09)

It is so comforting to know I can have health care seven days a week. I have used this clinic three times and am always satisfied with the service. The clinician is knowledgeable and caring. The wait time is minimal. (5/21/09)

"On a recent Saturday, I awoke with an earache. The next day I was scheduled to return to school in South Carolina. I couldn't get a doctor's appointment for that day and didn't want to drive for twelve hours to school with an untreated earache.

The Careworks Convenient Healthcare Clinic in Clarks Summit was a wonderful alternative to a doctor's office visit. There was no wait time, the Nurse Practitioner was knowledgeable and professional, and I received the treatment I needed. I returned to college the next day feeling a lot better. I made the right decision to visit the Convenient Care Clinic and will count on Convenient Healthcare in the future. Keep up the good work," (2/22/08)

"I would like to thank you for a great job you are doing with your Convenient Clinics. My wife came down with sinus problems over the weekend, and visited your facility on South Cedar Crest Blvd. in Allentown. She probably would not have gotten in to see her family physician until mid week. She was seen and diagnosed within less than a half hour, and had her prescription filled and at home in less than one hour. This was very important to both of us because we had travel plans for the following weekend that could not have been changed. I would recommend your services to anybody who could use them. Once again, a special thank you for providing a truly wonderful and convenient service." (10/14/07)
R & L P, Allentown

 

"Thank you so much for the patient, compassionate and thorough care you gave me yesterday. I was so glad to be able to get medication and not be in pain all weekend. Careworks is a wonderful addition to the community! Thank you again." (10/16/07)

"Careworks Clinic was the perfect solution for me since I recently graduated college and didn't have insurance for my first 30 days of employment. My job required me to have a physical and TB test before I started, and Careworks was the most affordable option for me. It was really amazing how I just walked right in and in less that 15 minutes I was finished." (8/1/07)
NS, Danville

 

"As a working mom of two small children I have found Careworks to be an extremely convenient healthcare option not only for my children but also for myself. The fact that Careworks is open on weekends and evenings, employs experienced healthcare providers able to write prescriptions, and enables me to take care of shopping needs if there is a small wait is a priceless convenience." (8/2/07)
LP, Clarks Summit

 

I went to Careworks for a very infected stye. Dr. Holter was the most approachable doctor I have ever encountered. Her personality made me feel comfortable enough so my blood pressure wasn’t soaring. She treated the stye proficiently and I’m now back to work. I’m a nationally known artist and I needed to see really quickly. Follow up was just as easy. A simple phone call will allow you to speak to a physician. If I would have called my primary care physician, the chances of her coming on the phone would never have happened. I highly recommend Careworks—convenience, courtesy and professional—that is what Dr. Holter brings to her office (and a lot more). (7/30/08)

Lisa Wipple, PA-C is an asset to your Careworks Convenient Healthcare at Weis Schnecksville, PA. I took my grandaughter, Lilyana Wagner, age 7 to see Ms. Wipple for a probable viral illness. Ms. Wipple was great interacting with Lilyana. Lisa’s clinical skills were superb. I am a registered nurse and this is of great importance to me that my family gets great healthcare for optimal client outcomes. I recommend Careworks and Ms. Wipple to family, friends, and collegues. You are lucky to have Lisa in your Careworks office at Weis King's. (11/16/08)

I want to give my compliments to Shara Albrich. Since the first time when I met her in walk in clinic, made me feel comfortable and treated me so good. She is very professional and a nice person in everything she did. Thank you, thank you.  Thank you very much.
Maria I. Perez  I think Careworks is a great alternative and a very convenient option to calling my family doctor.  What I liked most was being able to do my shopping while waiting for my pager to buzz!  The woman who helped me was very kind and extremely efficient. It was a breeze to then take my prescription next door to the pharmacy.... I got groceries, a check-up and my prescription all in a matter of 30 minutes!  Best one stop shop I ever made! (1/9/09)
