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)
Dr was behind and wasn't able to address all our needs but we had too many for this appointment and will consider them next visit.
Explaining names of medications and usage.
Everything they are very efficient and courteous
The provider took the time to hear my problems, and addressed each carefully and professionally. Love this new office
Sandra and her staff always listen. They always explain things. They're always friendly and they give great advice and great care.

?satisfied with everyone and service Glad we have Phelps Health available here
U guys did so well that u actually helped me out with my son u guys found out something that I never new my son had and now I can get it fixed/ taken care of to where I won't lose him
I have never had a bad experience with anyone at this facility. Communication is the very best. i am very happy with Phelps Health
Sandra has always been spot on with the health concerns I have seen her for. She listens, doesn't do unnecessary testing, and is always easy to have a conversation with.
Sandra is awesome!
They were very friendly and very respectful. I would highly recommend that facility to anyone looking for one.
My husband had an app and I was also sick so they worked me in
Everybody did great
We always feel like family when we go to the clinic.
Toook me right back and Sandra discussed all concerns with me.
I have been to 14 doctors now and actually nearly cry every time I have to go because I know they're not going to help me. She is the first doctor that listened to me and knew what she was talking about. She was amazing. I can't say good enough things about her.
I always receive excellent care.
Everything was done in a very friendly and professional manner
Very professional and caring towards the patient and others.
Sandra took the time to listen and understand my concerns. She put my mind at ease and assured me that I was on the right path.
You hired my provider who is FANTASTIC and AWESOME. I have been a client hers for
Everyone was great
You can't change anything they all are always so nice and respectable about everything they do. I don't have any bad words to say from the nurses to the front desk to the doctors all wonderful keep up the good work.
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.
Everything was good
No complaints.
It is most appreciated for the early morning visit appointments! The staff and providers are all very courteous and kind! Love the location and parking! All around LOVE this office!

The cliche if it ain't broke don't fix it applies to this staff and its care for the patients. To all of you a big thank you.
