I have been a member for 10 years they are great very friendly they get busy but that's not their fault they are very friendly staff

First thing to realize is that it is a teaching hospital environment. The doctor assigned to you is a Resident, and will not be there for long. Dr. Mohammed Sheikh was good and very perceptive but also spreading so between Portland and other places in soon unavailable most the time. he was astute enough to figure out what all the docs and staff in the ER had missed the night before, by knowing his patient and maintaining objectivity. This was not the only time what they call care was disappointing. My spouse was given vague and ultimately useless care on both locations from their hand specialists about a ganglion cyst, which remains unresolved two years later. In the overall I got at least as good if not better) care from the pharmacists in Mexico. I saw other members of staff a couple times who did just fine for that one circumstance. Then I was assigned another doctor. A period of four months went by, during which they would not refill a prescription I had been taking for years because I had yet to come in and make them happy by taking blood for an A1c. I was told that they would refill them after the test results came back. The veteran doctor who came back in with him, started off the conversation with a false accusation, informing me that they don't have to take care of me and hostility, foul language, blah blah, none of which I had used or demonstrated. When I asked her where that came from I was told that the nurse who took my vitals complained about it. I maintain it didn't happen. Accusing someone of something as your first contact doesn't start things off very well and I was critical, but reasonable about anything else she had to say. And that brings us to the medication without which I'm dragging, butt. I asked why it still had not been filled, and was told if they would do so first thing in the morning after seeing my lab results. She specifically said not at 6 AM but in the morning. The results came back swiftly, yet two more days went by before the refill was issued. I wrote four notes to the Resident, none of which were answered. Subject of a different type of apnea therapy didn't even get a nod in that direction. but he looked at the labs and said that they were consistent with someone with sleep apnea. No kidding? I've been on a CPAP for a decade! I picked up my medication, spoke with a couple others who had also had a less than glowing experience with Samaritan, and decided that I was going to find another provider. I was still shopping in the store wheb I got a phone call from the clinic manager, who asked if I had time to talk about my behavior. I told her that I did not, but I was in the store and that it would not be necessary to have any conversation because I had already decided I was going elsewhere. I don't know if she heard any of that or not because she didn't stop to wait for an answer about whether I had time or not. She just kept right. I'm going right over the top of me. Finally, having heard enough of her pointless ranting on the phone and not letting me get a word in edgewise, I said loudly and firmly "Shut... Up!" In an epic display of arrogance bordering on hubris, she replied "Don't you tell *me* to shut up!" I disconnected the call. There are other doctors in the area who are to take my insurance. I'll be pleased to go to one of them from now on. Edit: the new reassign physician just got done admitting he had no awareness of at least one, if not both of the important conditions. I'm also made mindful of the PA too busy talking over me to listen and get accurate information on Covid, inaccurately denying me access to the antiviral because of it. What was only mediocre has become intolerable. This isn't just being human. It hovers near to malpractice. read more

Really poor patient care. My husband was seen here and from the get go the front office staff was rude. When he was taken back his hands were like ice and the vital signs were wrong (like oxygen in the high 80s to low low 90s) but they didn't seem to care and recorded them anyway. You wait on hold to talk to anyone for about 40 min average and when you do get someone they just send a message. I sent messages on my chart and also I called twice and they sent a message. That message was never responded to. I called again (3rd time that day) in the mid afternoon only to be told the doctor I was trying to reach wasn't there. They don't want to deal with you unless you are one of their established patients. I would not recommend their office to anyone nor will we establish with them. Oh also, you pretty much only see residents. read more

I am not a patient, nor will I ever become one. Needed a new Doctor after moving and was told this office was accepting. Went in, told by the very nice office person that they were not, but I could fill out information and they would get back to us. They got back to us by calling and being very rude to my husband. I get not many doctors are accepting patients, but don't be rude to those of us that call your new Dr line or who are in need of a doctor if we are trying to give you business. This has soured me from all things Samaritan if i can avoid it, which does seem difficult. read more
