Here are a few excerpts from four different user reviews that provide insights into what it's like to live in Indiana, Pennsylvania.

1. "I've lived in Indiana for over 20 years and it's a great place to raise a family. The community is tight-knit and there are plenty of recreational activities for all ages. The local schools are also top-notch." - EmilyS

No Culture to speak of - 5/2/2014
If you're looking for culture, this place isn't for you. They have a crappy neighborhood theatre but that's about it. You have to go to Pittsburgh if you want to see anything cultural. It cracks be up that they think this crappy rural town is worth living Read More

Poor Health Care - 4/14/2014
The doctors in this town are not the brightest and the best. I got several that were unprofessional and rude. A dermatologist got annoyed because the cream I got for my rash didn't work. I used it for a month and I think that was an adequate amount of time. He went into my records and said I used it previously and it worked. It didn't. I've gone to dermatologists in other states and they complied. He told me point bland I needed to use the cream he gave me. This kind of intolerent unprofessional behavior should not be tolorated. The trouble with rural areas such as these is the bigger cities get the better doctors and the rural ones are left with the other incompetent redneck mentality. Only one way to do things. God forbid they open their narrow minds a Read More

Doctors aren't the brightest and the best - 3/25/2014
The Doctors here in Indiana aren't the brightest and the best compared to larger cities. It seems larger cities get the top notch doctors and "rural" areas like Indiana are left with the "others."
I've had to go to a dermatologist on Philadelphia St several times before the got a cream that never really made my rash disappear. When I told him it wasn't working he got nasty and told me prednisone works we know that. It has side effects. I didn't ask for presnisone, just another cream. He insisted I use the same cream that didn't work. Basically, he acted like a d---k I gave it a whole month with a lot of cuts on my hand that were very painful. This is typical of a "rural" doctor. There's only one way to do anything. They won't open their minds to the possibility of anything else.
I look forward moving to a more "Progressive" city. Read More
