"I had a pediatrics appoint for my daughter and was humiliated in front of multiple people by Shannon Pederson."
— Yelp review (July 2026)"Kaniksu was formed to enhance medical access to our rural area, but in the last several years it has morphed into what appears to be a more monetarily driven entity. Decisions seem to be made that prioritize money over medicine and give priority care to those who 'have' rather than those who 'have not.'"
