SCNM Review

Always have had a great experience for myself and my daughter.

As someone who was raised Naturopathic and continues to live that way, SCNM has it all! I love being seen during student shifts at the Medical Center! The students are so engaged and eager to learn, while helping patients. The Medicinary is a one stop shop for all routine and in the moment health needs and the Pain Management center has been the best solution so far for my chronic pain. I highly recommend SCNM!

I would just like to comment on the many, one star reviews, which cluster about 6 months ago. Review the Reviewer. Most of the negative reviewers live elsewhere. Ohio, Texas, British Columbia, Iowa, Michigan, California, and so forth. Read their other reviews and decide if they should be your Healthcare guide or not. Honest reviews help all of us.

The worst experience I have ever had with so called "doctors". You will be there for hours and hours and they will demand you take a million expensive tests and then there is no benefit. Completely a waste of money.

Natural treatment that makes a difference. Healing what other medical treatment damaged.

This place is far from holistic and bullies parents. Do not take your children here!

It's obvious Dr. Jaclyn Bain needs a long in depth review about fevers in young children before being allowed in the clinic again. She doesn't have any understanding about illnesses. Ms. Bain also set back any strides made in the naturopathic/holistic medicine for it to be respected in our society. She did a great disservice to all holistic practitioners by jumping the gun and getting DCPS involved. Newer thermometers break & malfunction. The old manual ones rarely do unless thrown. So as long as Ms. Bain isn't retrained, she will put the clinic & school, any patients she sees, at risk for greater miscommunication and possible medical/legal liabilities.

I have met and worked with other doctors from this school. Excellent, compassionate, well-trained professionals. So I'm rather surprised this has happened, 3 children suffering emotionally from this sad situation and having this school/clinic involved.

DO NO BRING YOUR CHILDREN HERE - THEY"D BE SAFER ANYWHERE ELSE.

It was a good experience. The visit took much more time than a typical doctor's visit because they take a more holistic approach, devoting a lot more time learning about your lifestyle, diet, etc. They did an food allergy test which found some particular foods that I react to, so I'll reduce or eliminate those foods from my diet. Overall, they were professional and thorough.

Take a holistic view of this school before you read other reviews. This school has done a lot of good for the community and families. I have had a great experience going here. I have also seen a lot of successful doctors come out of this school.

This is a school not a clinic so these people must be confused.

Inexperienced Dr. for full price. Basically a student, had few answers and went to basically default responses. I called to reschedule an appointment and they charged me $25. My mom is in hospital. They knew that and still charged me. I will never use them again. So smart business decision on their part too. Charge me $25 without exception and lose the few hundred I would have otherwise spent there. Terrible experience. There are plenty of other qualified professionals out there. This is basically a scam.

This is an excellent university. Most of the poor reviews incorrectly tag the college; referring to a specific incident with a particular provider at the SCNM Medical Center, a related, yet separate faciliy. If you are looking for a great educational institution, check them out!

It appears all these 1-star reviews are a gang up after seeing someone was not taking care of their child.
I heard great things about Doctor Barrel and my son in willthe spectrum will be seeing him this evening. If I need to, I will amend my review but I doubt that's going to happen.

Amazing potential here, and some great individuals. Admissions was amazing! Natural Advantage was awesome! The students were a real blessing to any profession they might enter.
However, there seemed to be a drive to raise money that may have exceeded their capacity to responsibly recruit the type of students they really need. SCNM also seems to be set on raising board scores, unfortunately it felt that they were doing so by attempting to remove students from the pool prior to boards rather than by improving their educational game plan. The faculty were split in my experience, between those who wanted to see potential doctors succeed and those who set out to bring their personal bias into the instructional arena. As I was a transfer student I felt that SCNM's evaluation of my transcripts did not fairly and supportively delineate what I was coming in with; oddly this appeared as a confusing blend of over and under estimation.

I think SCNM could be one of the best schools in the United States, but it has a LONG way to go. However, I remain a friendly supporter of their best aspirations.

If I could give no stars I would. If you have any children, please do NOT bring them here. Save yourself from a tragedy and go elsewhere!!!!!

This place is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!

The staff is incredible! Absolutely wonderful.

I took my son here today for vaccinations and I cannot tell you how absolutely kind and wonderful the doctor was here.

Every single person that works here is incredibly kind and just so caring. They actually spend time with you and don't rush you out.

Thank you so much to the staff here and especially to Dr. Shiffler who just went so out of her way to help us, even writing a letter for my son for his school vaccinations.

Thank you again so much to the staff!!
