    My parents and I have purchased from them and sought advice on multiple occasions and for many different medical needs. The staff has always taken the time to answer all questions and to find the best products to fit our needs. We have never felt that anyone was in a hurry to make a sale or to move on to the next customer. We were the priority at that time. Today my mother and I were shopping for different needs and everyone was busy when we arrived. We were greeted and waited for our turn. As always we received exceptional customer service and found exactly what we needed.

    The absolute worst service I’ve ever experienced in ANY STORE! It’s like their goal is to NOT help you! My mother has MS and her insurance approved her getting a wheelchair and the women at this store act as if the cost of the wheelchair would be coming out of their pockets or something! I don’t understand! They also spoke to me in an accusatory tone like I was lying about my mother needing a wheelchair. Is the goal to provide medical supplies or no because I’m confused. They don’t ever have to worry about me stepping foot back in that store! I’m also a nurse and I’ve made sure I spread the word on their extremely poor service!!

    They have horrible service. They received my CPAP on May 7 and did not contact my insurance for authorization of payment until June 3rd after I called the insurance company to question them as to why the CPAP have had not been approved for payments and found out they never submitted authorization. Which was so upsetting to me is when I call them three weeks prior they told me the person the handle Insurance authorizations was on vacation and that she will be back a couple of days and she would get it submitted. It's ridiculous this is so lazy that they would play with people's lives and not do their jobs.

    Absolutely the worst experience. I left the store in tears. I went a few months ago to see what options were available for rollators and a couple other mobility devices at the suggestion of my doctor. I had already spoke with my insurance and was told that the two types of rollator I was looking at were covered. The woman I spoke with was incredibly rude. From my understanding she is the owner. She told me that she refused to bill insurance for an upright rollator which I was already told was covered, yet she said she would only take out of pocket payments for the that rollator. While that was frustrating, I told her I was still interested, but she didn't want to let me look at it even though I said I'd be willing to pay out of pocket. My partner mentioned looking at the scooters to me because my doctors have also discussed looking at getting one of those in the near future as my conditions are progressive. She overheard and said, "You will never get approved for one of those!" I tried to explain to her that I wasn't interested in one that day, but it had been discussed with my doctor as a possible need for the near future. She rolled her eyes at me and said, "You're too young. What's even wrong with you?! Did you get in an accident or something?" I was shocked that she could even ask that question and diminish the needs of a disabled person solely based on their age. I'm in my 30's for reference. She doesn't get to decide what my needs are, that is the job of my doctor and insurance company. Why she thought she was entitled to that information or to make that decision for me is absurd. She kept mentioning how I was "just using a cane" so I didn't need any of the things she offered. What she didn't realize was that that was one of the first days in a month I could actually get out and walk. Certain conditions are day to day and just because I could manage a small trip out of the house with a cane that day, doesn't mean that the next day would be the same. She also seemed to have no understanding of progressive conditions and that I would have needs for certain mobility and accessibility devices. The young sales girl who was trying to show me options apologized under her breath between interruptions for how rude her boss was being because she saw me tearing up. At that point my partner decided we should just go. We thanked the sales girl and walked out. Once we were outside I broke down right there. It's hard enough living with chronic, disabling conditions as a younger person. There's always a need to prove your disability to the people who think, "You're too young to have that many health issues!" or "You seem fine today, I don't understand why you can't do X thing." The place I shouldn't have to worry about that is a medical supply facility that specializes in devices made to increase accessibility and quality of life. It's hard enough trying to accept as a younger person that I need to use a mobility device without the criticism this store offered. The DME store I ended up working with even mentioned that they frequently have customers tell horror stories about this store. I highly suggest finding another DME store for whatever your needs may be. Please avoid this place at all costs. There are places that will treat you with respect and show compassion for whatever situation you may be in that requires mobility and accessibility devices.

    I wish there was a NO star option!! I have called them on 2 different occasions and neither time have I felt like they wanted to put any type of effort into their job or to help me, the customer. So now I am looking on Amazon for what I need because Med Resources, in Alton, does not want to be bothered.

    Don’t waste your time here!!! I took a script for wheelchair & waited a week. Called them today & they couldn’t find my script… told me I need dr notes. Which they said that they’d request. I told her I know that & that they were supposed to do that. She looked for my papers & called me 10 minutes later saying I need the notes from Dr. I replied that you’ll said you would do that. She replied they tried once & they can’t go chasing business. Now I’m trying to do their job as it seems like they aren’t interested in doing business. This is the 3’rd time I’ve been there & if they weren’t the closest I would pick up script & go elsewhere. Don’t waste your time here! They never fixed the problems & they are rude for folks who screw things up!!!

    They was so nice! They had the splint I needed which no one had, unless I ordered it which would’ve took me 2 weeks to get. They had everything plus rental. Worked with my insurance too. Highly highly recommended

    I highly recommend this store. I was visiting my daughter in Bethalto and was 4 hrs from home. I discovered I forgot a part to my CPAP machine and I cannot sleep without it. I called several places and finally someone recommended these people. I called and was listened to (which is unusual lately) and was told that if I could have my physician fax an order to them they could get me the part that same day. I called, they faxed and Tina from Med Resources called me to let me know I could come and get what I needed. I was so grateful for the kindness and that everyone went that extra mile to help me even though I was not a customer of theirs. Thank you Med Resources for knowing how to treat people and taking the time to help me. Theresa Rogers - Crest Hill, Illinois

    Years ago I got moms first wheelchair there; then her second. Then, it was my turn. I have a Cpap and am very pleased with their services.

    Very kind and quick for getting info from me and my doctor's office for my nebulizer same day it was ordered. Only 4 stars because nobody was wearing a mask during a pandemic when the disabled community is at highest risk of dying from covid.
