Locked, Loaded, and Radiated: My Recon at Legacy Salmon Creek…read more Marching into a hospital through a metal detector wasn't on my bingo card for the day, but apparently one lunatic with a gun years ago ratcheted security up to DEFCON 2. I get it--force protection--but it slows the mission down a bit. Once inside the wire, the front-desk crew were solid troops: friendly, efficient, and squared away. The radiology techs carried the same energy--professional, competent, and quick to execute. When my number came up, the procedure moved fast. The only real enemy contact was that cup of radioactive chalk they made me chug. Let's just say it hit like a flashbang to the gut ... RALPH! As a first-timer in this AO, I'll say this: the hospital is clean, organized, and staffed with pros. The security gauntlet? Maybe a little overkill--but I've seen worse, and if it keeps another incident off the blotter, I can live with the inconvenience.

Obstetrics and Gynecology…read more My experience with Dr. Duggirala was extremely disappointing due to lack of follow-through and communication. At my appointment on February 13, 2026, she told me she would have another physician review my MIR report and would get back to me within three days with a plan and referral to the appropriate specialist. That never happened. I followed up through the patient portal 4 times asking who I was being referred to and what the plan was. I repeatedly received messages from staff saying she was out of the office/on-call and would respond within 48 hours, yet I never received a response from the doctor herself. When medical issues require timely care, patients depend on their doctors to follow through. Instead, I was left without answers and had to begin searching for specialists on my own. I sent a message through the portal asking to refer me to the specialist I found myself and still no response. As of March 11, 2026, I still have not received any follow-up or referral. I would not recommend this provider based on my experience. This is not ok.

They don't keep track of their work, and they never complete a _simple_ cleaning in 1, One, visit. The scheduling and communication here are the worst I have ever experienced. A dentist/Dr here actually lectured me, ME, The Patient, for 20 minutes while I was in the chair, because I did not know exactly which of my teeth were not cleaned during the first visit, at which time the work should have been completed in the first place. There was also Much loud complaining about co workers in front of me by Dr Temper Tantrum. Somebody with a doctorate should be more mature than this.

Dr Kozinski came in the middle of the night to do an angiogram that confirmed a SCAD. I was moved to the Cardiac ICU where the entire team was wonderful. While I can't remember the name of the great nighttime nurse (sorry!), daytime Nurse Mary and NP Jackie were caring and super informative. I've forgotten so many names, but I want to mention that the young man who put in my second IV line (the first was at a clinic) did it painlessly. Also, the professional who did my echocardiogram was excellent, and the staff member who took my food orders was so considerate and helpful. Everyone was so welcoming and respectful to me, my same-sex spouse, and my sister. Their care and treatment were exemplary. I was able to be discharged after only one night in the CICU. THANK YOU, PEACE HEALTH!!

After experiencing a severe reaction to a prescription medication, I called 911 because I believed…read moreI was having a medical emergency. When the paramedics ( AMR) arrived, I repeatedly told them that the medication I had taken was on top of my dresser and asked them to bring it with me to the hospital so the doctors could identify what I had taken. They did not retrieve the medication. When I arrived at PeaceHealth, I repeatedly told the doctors and nurses that I was having an allergic reaction or severe adverse reaction to a prescription medication prescribed by my doctor. Despite my repeated statements, I felt that they assumed I was under the influence of illegal street drugs. I provided both blood and urine samples, which I later learned were negative for any drugs except THC. Instead of receiving the treatment I believed I needed, I was discharged from the hospital and sent home in an Uber or Lyft. At that time, I was in what I believe was a psychotic state. I was hallucinating, extremely confused, and unable to think clearly. In my opinion, I was not capable of making informed decisions about my own medical care. After I arrived home, I began experiencing chest pain and called 911 again. When the paramedics arrived, they asked whether I wanted to return to the hospital. Because of my mental condition, I do not believe I was capable of making a sound medical decision. Again, I told the paramedics (AMR) that I had suffered an allergic reaction to the prescription medication on top of my dresser. I had also told the doctors and nurses at PeaceHealth that I believed I was having a reaction to a medication prescribed by my physician, but I felt that no one believed me. During my first visit to PeaceHealth, I was taken to the MRI department. A nurse RN (Kristi Castle) wearing blue scrubs with blonde hair pulled back became upset because I would not get into the MRI machine. At the time, I was hallucinating, my thoughts were racing, and I did not understand what was happening to me. I believe I was experiencing a psychotic episode. The nurse documented that I refused treatment, but I do not believe I was mentally capable of understanding or consenting to medical decisions at that time. When I returned to PeaceHealth a second time, I was placed in a room with a nurse. I repeatedly asked to see a doctor, but instead I was escorted back into the waiting room. While sitting there, I genuinely believed I was dying. I felt detached from reality and believed that the people around me were no longer alive. I returned to the nurses' station and told the staff that something was seriously wrong with my brain. I even said that I wondered whether I had Alzheimer's disease because I could not remember anything and my memories were coming and going. I recall a staff member responding, "Oh, now you're diagnosing yourself." I tried to explain that I was losing my memory and that something was terribly wrong. I was then sent to another staff member and again explained that I was having serious problems with my brain. I remember being told, "I've been watching you, David. Go sit down over there." Feeling desperate, I went outside the hospital and begged people for help. Some of the individuals appeared to be hospital employees, but no one stopped to assist me. Eventually, I was able to contact my girlfriend, who took me to Kaiser Permanente. I am incredibly grateful to the doctors, nurses, and staff at Kaiser. They listened to me, believed that something was seriously wrong, treated me with compassion and professionalism, and provided the care I needed. After receiving treatment, I improved significantly and was able to return home within a couple of hours. To the best of my knowledge, both the PeaceHealth and Kaiser drug tests were negative for illegal drugs, with the exception of THC.

I am approaching 50 and have spent much of my life doing physically demanding work. I have taken good care of myself, but I also understand that decades of hard labor put a tremendous amount of stress on the body. I came here because I can feel that something has changed, and I wanted a doctor who would listen, take my concerns seriously, and help me understand what is going on. I have now seen two different doctors and had blood drawn twice, yet I still feel like I have no answers or real direction toward a solution for how I am feeling. The most frustrating part has been feeling like the physical toll of working hard for decades is not being understood or even seriously considered. It is difficult to explain what years of construction and physical labor do to your body to someone who seems unwilling to relate that history to what you are experiencing today. I wasn't looking for someone to simply tell me that my bloodwork looks fine. I was looking for a doctor willing to listen, dig deeper, and help figure out why I don't feel like myself. After two attempts, I unfortunately don't feel that I received that level of care here.

There weren't any female doctors at the 87th location, so I decided to start coming to the Salmon Creek location. This location is very similar to the 87th location I'd been going to for years. Same spa-like feel when you walk in with water fountains and a real calming vibe. There's plenty of plush chairs and benches in the long lobby area with plenty of gender neutral restrooms and hand sanitizing stations. They also have a pharmacy and lab for bloodwork. I appreciate not having to go to different locations to get things done. They use the MyChart app, making it easy to schedule appointments, pay bills, and ask your doctor's team medical questions. It's very easy to use and I usually get responses within 24-48 hours. Overall I am happy with this Vancouver Clinic location. I will continue to come here for as long as my PCP is available.

Legacy Medical Group - Camas: A Disgrace to Veterans and a Violation of Basic Human Rights and…read moreDecency I am absolutely appalled by the treatment I received at Legacy Medical Group in Camas from a female ARNP--late 50s, cold, unprofessional, and clearly unqualified to treat patients, especially suicidal and disabled combat veterans like myself. Let me be very clear: I've been severely ill for over four years, critically ill for the past 10 months, and I am now extremely depressed and suicidal. I told this provider, plainly: "I don't want to live like this anymore." That's not drama. That's my reality. Instead of compassion or concern, she responded with ego and condescension. She acted annoyed by my pain, said I was being rude, and shut down the appointment in less than five minutes. No support. No care. No help. Just dismissal and abandonment. This wasn't a one-off. On a previous visit, she showed zero interest in my complex condition--focused only on my lorazepam prescription--and today she confirmed what I feared: she simply doesn't care. I'm a 100% disabled combat veteran with PTSD, and I was suicidal during that visit. That should have triggered immediate action. Instead, I was treated like a nuisance. To prove my point, she sent the police to my house ¨to check on my well-being¨shortly after leaving the office, an obvious ¨cover-your-ass¨move, not done out of concern or compassion, and further substantiating my account. I filed complaints with Legacy, Medicare, Tricare, and the Washington State Board of Nursing, and I will be disputing any charges for this so-called "appointment." Billing for five minutes of cruelty is not just unethical--it's fraud. Legacy Health completely ignored my complaint and the Washington State Board of Nursing protected their own, go figure, rather than addressing the matter, stating that my complaint was ¨baseless¨, having never contacted me once for clarification. Then, to add insult to injury, I received a registered letter (see photo) accusing me of being "threatening.", a blatant, disgusting fabrication to cover for their shameful behavior. Disgusting human beings, unprofessional behavior ... shame on you! NEXT STEP: Filing a civil rights complaint with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office for Civil Rights. YOU CAN'T DO THAT - complaint filed 6/14/2025. I also filed a MEDICARE FRAUD complaint after Legacy had the balls to bill me for their providers extremely unprofessional behavior.

The long waits were challenging, being that I was just a week post-op and found it challenging to find comfort, but again want to emphasize that despite the long time investment, the care was appropriate and staff demonstrated empathy.
