About Me
I'm Sandra Headrick, FNP-BC, and I joined Phelps Health as a family nurse practitioner specializing in family medicine in February 2022. I see patients of all ages for both acute (short-term) and chronic (long-term) concerns. My collaborating physician is Family Medicine Physician Matthew Hurley, MD.
In addition to my family medicine experience, I have expertise in ENT (ear, nose and throat) care and urgent care/emergency care. For most of my career, I have worked in the Rolla, St. James and Salem, Missouri, areas.
Patient education is important to me, and I want to make sure my patients know everything about their conditions, treatment and care. As a child, I had a congenital heart defect and spent a lot of time as a patient at hospitals and doctor’s offices. My experience with the medical staff led me to become a nurse, and later a nurse practitioner. My two sisters also work in the healthcare field.
My husband and I have two children, and we live on a farm in Salem. My hobbies include scrapbooking and attending church.
I also offer telehealth visits, which allow patients to visit with me remotely using a smartphone, tablet or computer with an internet connection and audio-video capabilities.

What our patients are saying (Verified reviews from real patients)
Everyone is always so welcoming from the time I walk in until the time I leave. Front desk staff is very professional and quick if you've completed Echeck in they do not ask all the questions again. The provider is very good at speaking so I can understand what she means.
Done everything very good thank you all
Sometimes it is good to talk. No improvement needed.
I'm not a morning person, but my appointment was first thing at 7am. The ladies in this clinic were happy and friendly, if they aren't morning people, I couldn't tell! I love Sandra as my primary provider and was there for a Well Woman exam (everyone's favorite). She was gentle, informative, and kind-making my experience less stressful. She was amazing! Thank you all very much!
Everything was perfect!
Everyone was very professional and courteous.
I don't often go to the doctor but the wait time was less than 5 minutes and everything went well.
All in all, I was pleased with my visit as well as the DR's recommendation to start me on a drug to help control my blood pressure. It has greatly helped me in a short period of time I've been taking it. I was somewhat surprised, however, that this was done without any blood testing whatsoever. Maybe that's the norm, I don't know, but I would have expected a quick test for diabetes or some other contributing factor for blood pressure issues.
The staff is always friendly and Sandra always listens, ask questions and she shows so much compassion
Everything was handled with professional manner.
Everything is always good.
Nothing to improve.
I cannot think of a thing that would make it better.

Front desk was a little abrupt almost rude however the nurse and doctor were very caring and helpful
Sandra is the best provider I have ever had. She always treats me with respect, answers all my questions, and never seems anxious to rush me out the door.
All good. I was in and out in a very reasonable time.

I had the best experience as my health matters to those who work there that's why I go there and highly recommend them to others.
It was a very good experience. I wouldn't change a thing. Very clean no wait time. All around great experience.
The people were, the girls were really nice at the desk and in the room before the doctor came in there and the doctor was really great. So there's no, it was really nice. Thank you very much. Goodbye.

Just moved to Salem and was looking for a medical facility and I believe I found a good one.
Very good experience
My experience is always good
I enjoy this small family net work going on in our dr office
The visit went well, I have no recommendations at this time, thank you.
Keep up what they're doing and the employer should tell them how well they are doing
Everything went very smooth
I haven't had any problems with the care I have received. Thank You !
Explaining everything so I knew what was going on. Got me medicine to treat me.
Same day service, minimal waiting time, and seeing my wife and I on the same visit made the appointment easy. I wish all medical interactions could be handled as well.
Sandra and everybody did everything well. I really like it there. They don't have to change anything. They're awesome the way they are.
Sandra Headrick is awesome. She is thorough but efficient and gets me in and out in good time. She understands my problems and has a quick solution for my questions. I would not go anywhere else!
Courteous, knowledgeable, respectful and very caring. They have nothing to improve on.
were able to fit accommodate us when our need for the visit changed, so kind and reassuring.
She is always very helpful. My husband died recently and I was thinking I wouldn't be able to get my medicine. She told me what I could do to get it. She's very thoughtful, she listens good, and everything. The nurses are all good, and the facility's clean, and you can't improve on that. Thank you.
Always super clean and accurate to appointment time. Quick process in rooms and check out too. Front staff was very friendly and pleasant. Helpful and patient. Nurse was went above and beyond to show a sample of how to use and just made me feel comfortable and not judged. Sandra is amazing. She is so down to earth and trustworthy. I trust anything she tells me and feel comfortable being honest and open with her. Hands down the best medical office I have ever used in all ways.
Dealing with my son TBI I've had a lot of dismissive and non compassionate and people treating my son like a number . From my first initial phone call to make appointment to the visit they were attentive to my sons needs and treated us with humanity which I find lacking in a lot of other clinics. So I appreciated my experience being treated with humanity instead judge mental, non compassionate robot care .
Great personnel.
I was listened to and treated with respect
They were very courteous and kind to an elderly gentleman and I appreciate that.
