From Impersonal to Incredible: A Mother’s Journey to Meaningful Care

After the birth of her first child, Spanish Fork resident Terrika Turner knew she wanted a different medical experience.

The office that delivered Turner’s first baby was a revolving door of providers who had minimal knowledge of her health history or personal life. The whole experience felt rushed and impersonal, and she was eager for a change as she planned for more children.

“I wanted to find somewhere where they remembered me and cared about me specifically,” she said. “I wanted a doctor who I felt truly cared.”

That’s exactly what she found in Revere Health Spanish Fork Family Medicine & Obstetrics – specifically, doctor Jedidiah Oldham.  She came across Revere Health after a quick internet search and decided to give them a try; it worked out better than she could have hoped.

Dr. Oldham and his team delivered her last two children, and she now brings all her children to his office for ongoing care.

“He knows who I am. He knows who my kids are and what they like. He interacts with them. It feels like we have a relationship with him.”

The personal care extends beyond just Dr. Oldham. She has had positive experiences with the entire staff, including the front office staff, nurses, etc. She appreciates that the receptionists are always “welcoming and friendly” and that they talk with her kids.

Aside from the great care, she also values the way Revere Health communicates, such as printing out statements and reviewing items line by line. That is something she doesn’t get with other offices.

“Revere Health explains things very well,” Turner said. “With Revere, I know what I’m paying for. It has been so much easier than anywhere else for me.”

And as someone who asks “hundreds” of questions, she appreciates that Dr. Oldham always takes time to address her concerns and make her feel heard.

“He takes his time. He’s not trying to get you out of the room. He makes you feel important, no matter what questions you have.”

If she and her husband decided to have more children, there is no doubt in her mind who she will trust to care for them.

“Dr. Oldham is genuine, kind, and understanding. He really makes you feel like a friend, even more than a patient. I have really enjoyed having him as our family doctor and would recommend him to anyone.”
