Sterling Medical Services out of Moorestown NJ who I've been using for ostomy supplies for 2 years is merging with National Rehab Equipment HQ'ed near Pittsburgh PA. The merger will be completed on or about 10/01/2014 and the new company name will be McKesson Patient Care Solutions Inc.

I've been more then happy with Sterling, never had any issues or problems. I'm sure there will be some other folks on here affected as well. So the reason for this post is to ask if anyone has had any experience with National Rehab or McKesson... good, bad, or indifferent regarding customer service, delivery times, anything, etc 

Anybody ???

Dear Klark:

We live about 40 minutes from Pittsburgh and I have used National Rehab for the last five years. I've never had a problem with their service, in fact they have next day service when I call for supplies. We also have a condo in SC and I have ordered supplies while we are there and usually within two or three days of ordering it arrives. I think you will be very happy with this company.

Hi Deb,

As you can see, the outpouring of love and support from this website will help you to find the strength to lift yourself up and out of your current emotional situation. I am lucky to have my husband by my side through all of this, so I will not even pretend to know how you feel and what you're going through alone. I do know that I have great friends on this site and in my life that have been by my side, and hopefully you have many by your side as well. You do have a lot of new friends here. Please feel free to talk through anything that is on your mind. We all go through a confidence deficit when we go through an ostomy surgery. Our body has been marred and your mind feels that way sometimes too. It is tough to move on, but you will. You will be stronger once you realize that you are still the beautiful woman you were prior to your surgery. Hopefully, you can reach out to a local support group and find some additional friends in your same situation. It always helps to have a sounding board wherever you find it!
