After five gastroenterologists and seventy-four years of suffering, later, I had a first…read moreappointment with Dr. Sarah Brendler last week. Dr. Brendler came up with a different diagnosis than the prior four "specialists" and gave me samples of a different kind of medicine. Eureka! The new remedy is not working perfectly (in a 74 year old body only so much can be expected!), but I feel MUCH better than I have since I was a kid! Finally, a correct diagnosis! Dr. Brendler has common sense about tests, listens well, and came up with a completely different and correct diagnosis. Don't give up without consulting her.

I told her my concerns and she gladly went over them with me. We also discussed my colonoscopy results with me from my colonoscopy that Dr. Yang did. I've been seeing Dr. Yang for 15+ years now and he's also very thorough and listens to my concerns and goes over those concerns. I highly recommend Eugene Gastroenrology Consultants.

I was sent to Dr Stanke's office per my PCP. Interesting interview. Seem normal. The prep before…read morethe procedure was very different from the one I had 3 years ago. So many different liquids to drink. That day of the procedure, I was prep to go. Went into the room, sedated and that's the last thing I remembered. Woke up in my bed, asked how everything went? Apparently, it didn't. My breathing was impaired, cough up water and so on. I had a cold the week before and thought I was over it. Maybe not. But I told them, they just shook their heads and went umh. I received no phone call the next day, I was tired and drained. Never did receive a call back. Went to my PCP's PA. Got my lungs ex-ray and Covid test. both were negative. You know, come to think about it no one gave me a Covid test at Dr Stanke?

Arrogant, rude, and dismissive. I moved to Eugene 18 months…read moreago, so I needed to find a new gastroenterologist. I was referred to Dr Stanke's office by my PCP. After a cursory interview, he said I had IBS (which I don't), and gave my omeprazole. Over the past year I discovered one of my meds irritated my stomach and since changing it, rarely have indigestion or reflux and have had no need for Omeprazole. When I went in for a colonoscopy this week, the prep nurse asked about any health symptoms. When I told her I often have nausea and vomiting which, on top of my fibromyalgia fatigue, can be debilitating, she said I should tell Dr Stanke before the procedure, in case he wanted to do anything else while I was under sedation. When I did, Dr Stanke became extremely rude, arrogant, and dismissive, telling me I should, "Get over it!" He continued on when I tried to say that the nausea was debilitating. He again told me to get over it and said I was there for a colonoscopy and he wasn't giving me any free advice. I was shocked. I had to tell him the nurse had told me to tell him, and that, as a therapist, I never would have told a client to "get over it," and suggested that he could have simply asked that I come into his office for anything else. Of course, I will never go to see him again, nor would I recommend him to anyone else.

We took my 95-year-old father to the ER for persistent pain in his belly. Within the hour, he was…read moreseen by an ER doctor. Within two, he was roomed in the ER and had a number of tests within the next hour. It took hours to get a room in the overnight stay part of the hospital, but the ER room was private, and we were well attended during the wait. He ended up staying four days and nights. My mother and I were by his side 12 hours a day. Without exception, every single doctor, nurse, aide and other specialist he had during that time was kind, patient, watchful, and positive. They did their best to answer all my questions and were quick to respond to our needs. My father has dementia. He had some serious ups and downs during his treatment, yet when he was discharged, he spoke only of how nice his time had been. He spoke repeatedly about how much he had enjoyed "spending time with the family" and getting to know the younger ones better. This is the strongest testimonial I can give for this hospital. He thought he was surrounded by his sprawling family. The rooms may be small and crowded, but this place has heart and that is what matters to me.

My mom was brought in to the ER by ambulance following a stroke. We weren't sure what was happening…read moreand requested an MRI. It showed that she had in fact had a stroke. She was kept overnight. The next morning Dr Whitsel walked in the room and her first words were "She has dementia!" I questioned how she could diagnose it so quickly and she responded that mom was given a story to read and then asked questions about it and that she had failed the test. I continued asking questions and she said that she had 8 new patients and she would have to look over her notes. I think she should have gone over the notes before she entered the room. She has HORRIBLE bedside manner and does not like to be questioned. I would suggest you request a different doctor if she is looking at your patient.

Decided the moment she saw me that she had issues with me, it was obvious. Popped into my room throughout my week long visit at McKenzie Willamette's Progressive Care Unit (which she is somehow the 'hospitalist' for) to make weird and taunting statements while displaying a poorly disguised grin. After a procedure to save my life, she (the last time I'll assign it any human/animal pronoun) was the first face I saw while coming out from under anesthesia, telling me it was discharging me immediately. My actual cardiologist had told me I would be kept for observation. When I argued with it, it told me it was her wing and it was not going to be argued with. I stayed the night but was rushed out next day even after staff had damaged my prosthetic in the process. Yeah, I'm also an amputee. I would recommend it be stripped of title and prosecuted. It is an absolute monster and it never should have been given license to practice. Still in process of taking legal action. The ER staff were amazing. The majority of nurses on it's wing became increasingly cold and passive aggressively punitive as the week went on, and I have no doubt it was at the urging of Whitsel. F@#k Whitsel.
