Center for Student Health and Counseling

"Everyone who works here is super nice, and it's easy to get appointments very quickly"

"Don't recommend using dental services from shac. Really rushed diagnosis. The nurse/dental hygienist failed to address issues properly by brushing off my concerns, and the doctor spent 30 seconds with me in a hurried manner. After going to another dental office I realized I had other less invasive options than what they recommended here. The only positive was that the first nurse/dental assistant that took my X-rays was really nice and professional."

"The staff has always been so polite and professional. They are flexible with my class schedule for scheduling appointments and my provider always offers me the option for in person or tele-health appointments. The clinic does have a very heavy caseload with such a large university so wait times on calls and scheduling out in advance can be tricky, but they really do make a strong effort and are really kind! I have a fear of needles and needed a blood draw and the phlebotomist was excellent and made sure to distract me with small talk and was super gentle. The patient portal makes it really easy and the providers all reply quickly to messages when I don’t have time to call"

"I’ve only had positive experiences with SHAC. I was having an allergic reaction on my eyes and was able to see someone on the same day. They were all very nice and welcoming. The dental office is also nice. I got my impacted wisdom teeth out, and they were all so sweet and helping. My student insurance also covered everything for the extraction, I was only charged $30 for a visit."

"I have always had great experiences here! Truly I am so grateful to have SHAC available, and I'm going to miss it when I leave PSU. I'm always able to get an appointment as soon as I need it, and they are very thorough, non-judgmental, and helpful. I've used the health center services, counseling and psychiatry services, and dental services, and all of them have been great. They've even given me referrals to specialists when needed, and I always feel like they genuinely care, especially when confronted with unusual conditions, they are always happy to learn more about it to be most effective. They've also been respectful of my identities and experiences, which can be really hard to find in doctors, but SHAC has nailed it. Very queer-friendly--they use my name and pronouns and are clearly comfortable working with queer and trans patients. Highly recommend!"
