I've had several bad experiences at the Providence ER. The last time was especially bad. I had…read moreaccidentally taken the wrong amount of my medication and immediately went to the ER to seek help. Instead of calling poison control, I was rushed to the ICU where nurses spent all their efforts into convincing me that I had tried to harm myself. During this, I had four seizures before they decided to call Poison control to receive treatment instructions. Four seizures could have been prevented if they had called poison control immediately. I bit my tongue several times and bled profusely. They told me that my tongue will heal quickly, and refused to also treat that wound. It has not healed in almost a month. I had to see my primary care provider elsewhere to receive help. I felt neglected, as if they didn't really care. They weren't trying to treat me, but shove me in their mental health unit, when I had not tried to hurt myself. Their judgement of my character and actions was unwarranted and their actions felt harsh and punitive in nature. Eventually they called poison control and administered medication that would have effectively prevented this whole ordeal. I will never go back. All of the other hospitals in Portland are far better options with far better care that doesn't lack compassion and judgement by a very near sighted and uncaring staff. I am trying to not take this personal, and ruminate, but it was traumatic and embarrassing, and has led me to seek help in dealing with it. Thanks for reading and I hope you find this helpful in making decisions on where to seek care in an emergency.

There were a surprisingly high number of patients waiting to be seen but we got in. Lindsey did the first set of X-rays and I was so impressed with the care and communication she gave the both of us the whole time. We even got a sticker of her cat miss Norris and we were told they are a hot commodity. I believe it. I hate that I didn't completely catch our nurses name working with doctor Washington- Kayla, Kaylee, Caitlin?! I'm so sorry!!! But she was so great throughout the whole night with my daughter and even gave her a brown bear at the end with a splint and cast on the same arm my daughter left with one. Ded. Dr Washington you were also very kind and thank you for doing your best to put the broken bones into place. We had a long visit but the care was superb so 5 stars to the whole staff. So so impressed and made the emergency visit less painful. Also note to the world- monkey bars are horrible and I shake both my fists at them.

The frequency with which I'm having to review hospitals is not exactly ideal, but...here we go…read moreagain. My wife had a diabetes-related incident which required two days worth of hospitalization, so we were treated to a wide variety of Legacy Emanuel's departments, from intake at the ER, to the ICU, to the pharmacy and, of course, the much-maligned, dreaded hospital food (and rightfully so)! Our experience was a mixed bag, but mostly positive overall. Intake took longer than I feel is acceptable for, you know...the EMERGENCY room, but the quality of care, right out of the gate, was top notch: competent, friendly nurses and technicians (BIG shout-out to Michael in the CVICU for being stellar!), from start to finish. Consultation with full-fledged doctors was few and far between, but maybe that will help keep the costs down when the remainder of the bill comes back from insurance. The Children's Garden is a-freakin'-dorable. The food was one of the few things that was consistent...consistently terrible. As has always been the case with diabetes-related care, the advice my wife receives seems to vary, based on the person giving it, with some providers seeming more confident, and competent, than others...which is probably why we end up in situations like this. Without going into too many details, one endocrinologist recommended using an insulin pump, the other recommended manual injections via insulin pens, and both of them offered different suggestions on the amount of insulin to administer, based on carb count. It's incredible to me that this isn't yet a settled science. Another irritating thing I encountered was the main entrance to the atrium being blocked off for construction or renovations, meaning that to pick up a prescription, we had to enter through the Randall Children's Hospital entrance, and then navigate an absurdly long series of hallways to get there...only to find that our prescription wasn't filled on time, and that we'd have to come back and do it all over again later. Ugh. In short, we've had better care (OHSU), and worse care (PeaceHealth), but Legacy Emanuel does enough things right to straddle the gap, and exist in our minds as a wholly acceptable and comprehensive health care provider, even during times of crisis (and as an important side note: the adjacent Randall Children's Hospital is a five star facility, no bones about it). Just...hurry up with the ER intake procedure, will ya?

Because of the way this company is set up, I had to start all over again. It is now March. They just called me and canceled my appointment because my physical therapist took a week off. I ended up getting pushed out to April. I have to start all over again with a new provider because the provider I was with is not available because he's backed up because he took a week off.

However, I experienced such great care during the majority of my stay, it would be irresponsible of me to not share my positive experience with you. The number of staff responsible for an admitted patient's care each day is astounding. There is the attending physician who manages a patient's primary care. There are the nurses who work long shifts and attend to all of a patient's needs. There are the nurse's assistants who also check in with patients. There's housekeeping, the folks who deliver meals to patients, folks who do bloodwork and labs... the list goes on and on! With a list of so many points of contact each day, I was astounded to realize almost every single interaction I had with staff at the hospital was a positive experience. That really speaks volumes about the quality of care, and the integrity of the organization responsible for treating patients. I only have positive things to say about my experience at Kaiser Sunnyside Medical Center. During my hospital stay I was in a great deal of pain and discomfort, I had difficulty sleeping, I missed my family, and I was incredibly sad about the situation I found myself in. But as I reflect upon this experience, I feel so fortunate to have been cared for by such a friendly, talented, and compassionate group of people. And even though I hope I'll never have need to return, if I do, I know I'll be in great hands.

Because I couldn't walk, I had to call for AMT. They arrived within minutes and a neighbor met them and brought them to my condo. It was a tight squeeze, so the ladies moved my super heavy bamboo coffee table, got me in the gurney, and carted me off. But not before they moved the table back. Wow! I was worried because I knew it would be impossible for me to accomplish that. I thanked them sincerely for their kindness. The AMTs give you a choice of which hospital to go to, and knowing Providence, St. Vincent's and OHSU are a nightmare, I asked their opinion. Based on where they had been taking patients that day,they recommended Legacy Good Sam because few people had been dropped off there. Turned out to be an exceptional choice. When we arrived, the AMT explained my situation and said there was no way I could sit in a chair or wheelchair in the waiting room, so they had me in a bed in the hallway until a room opened up. A nurse took my vitals immediately and hooked up an IV. Saw Dr. Stratton shortly afterwards. She listened carefully to my symptoms as pain is often challenging to explain and to determine the cause. She ordered a urine test to check for UTI and a catscan since the intense pain that was preventing me from moving my left leg was coming from the groin and radiating down the thigh. Was given pain meds, and for the first time in 2 days, I wasn't in tears. Catscan showed what we already knew, that I have severe arthritis which is why I'm having that hip replaced, but due to major muscle spasms earlier in the week, I had a severely strained muscle. She put me on pain meds and a muscle relaxer. Every single person I dealt with along the way - the nurse who greeted me, the person who helped me off bed and into wheelchair so I could use the bathroom, the person who took me to the catscan, the catscan techs, the nurse that put in the IV, and the doctor - we're all kind, empathetic, thorough and capable. This should be the norm, but unfortunately it isn't. The experience was so surreal because it was pleasant and efficient. Dare I say unparalleled. Don't want or need another ER experience, I've had more than my fair share of medical and mobility issues these past four years, but if the situation necessitates an ER visit, I choose Legacy Good Sam in the Alphabet District. Thank you to the doctor, nurses and staff for your kindness, compassion, and wonderful services!

Coming from the Bay Area this place was completely an anomaly to me. After a long wait at urgent care and booking it to the ER I was ready for a 6-8 hour wait. Nope...

Everyone was so kind and I was so nervous and scared and they were supportive and patient. When I had to come back to get stitches removed, it was so fast - I checked in, waited less than 5 minutes and was taken straight back. In and out in 30 minutes. Never want to go to a hospital, but if I have to, these are efficient, kind, and wonderful people. Thank you.
