About
Welcome to Legacy Health's primary care clinics, the first step to better health. Our clinics are certified patient-centered medical homes. A medical home clinic means that you and your family are at the center of our care, surrounded by a team that consists of your primary care provider, nurse, medical assistant, social worker, counselor and clerical staff. This team is focused on your health needs.
Being in a patient-centered medical home means that your care team knows your health history, listens to your concerns, and coordinates care with other specialists and health providers. We care for you when you are sick, but, more importantly, we work with you to keep you well.
Please read this before making an appointment
Medicare patients, please note: Some of our clinics, including this one, are considered "hospital-based" because they share the same licensure with a Legacy hospital. The services or procedures you receive at Legacy's hospital-based clinics may include a facility charge in addition to a physician charge.
Patient Comments
Legacy wants every patient to have great care, every time. To help measure and improve patient satisfaction, we send surveys to randomly selected patients after their appointments. We use this feedback from the surveys to improve and enhance the care we offer. Learn more about our surveys & ratings
I always have a good review for this medical team..
Dr Elliot is warm , friendly and excellent provider. She listens carefully and responds honestly , clearly and with my needs in mind. I trust her and her advice. So glad she is there.
Dr. Bowden has been my doctor as well as my late wife's. He has always been professional and yet we have always felt like he is a member of our family. I hope he can always be my family doctor.
All were good
Great
Good
As always Dr Salleva and her team did a wonderful job both medically and as understanding human beings. Dr Salleva and her nurses (sorry I don't remember your names) are the best medical team I've ever worked with. The medical care is top notch but more importantly the person care is always there. They are real people looking at me as a real person and not just a patient that they need to process. Even when in a hurry because they're fitting me in between actual appointments the humanity is always there.
Always a pleasure when seen by Dr. Salleva - she and her staff are awesome
Great and professional service. I am never disappointed.
Chris is great and is the perfect medical provider for me.
I really like Dr James Roberts he's been my dr for years and he's amazing! And so is his Medical Assistant! Forgot her name. Great people! I'm lucky to have a great care team!
Experience with Dr Bowden and the receptionist has always been cordial and respectful and knowledgeable.
Routine physical. Seen promptly which I appreciate. Dr S was not rushed, went over lifestyle, vitals, and asked pertinent questions. Extremely pleased to have her as my DR
We had a good experience, thank you
I always have a very good experience and trust the information given to me. He's a great doctor and his staff!
I rated everything outstanding or a ten for a reason, that reason being is they deserve that rating.
Very positive experience.
I feel that my provider understands my opinions on health care and picked up definite issues that could occur at my age.
Dr Roberts is always a good listener and respectful of my questions or concerns. He explains things very well.
Dr Salleva is absolutely INCREDIBLE!!
Brooke is the best physician I have had thus far! She is very attentive to my concerns and always seems to have a solution.
Very personable and excellent bedside manner and patient care
First visit with a new provider. Very happy with my choice! Would have liked to get in sooner, but everyone seems very backed up.
Dr. Salleva is an outstanding doctor. I can discuss details of my health concerns. She is patient. She actually listens. I trust her. She looks comprehensively at my well being.
Jodi is very calm and understanding she listens well and is very helpful
Dr. Bowden and Alyssa are always welcoming and compassionate to me and my needs.
Dr. Bowden communicates his medical advice clearly and concisely. He and I have developed some rapport and as such I do not experience any trepidation when discussing my healthcare needs. I appreciate his opinion and have little to no concern following his recommendations; he is an excellent physician.
Brooke listens and is open. She had good suggestions and I appreciate her help with referrals.
I've seen Doc Roberts for 15+ years. He is a good guy as well as being a good Doc.
I have never had a bad experience with my provider or office staff
Doctor listens and seems to care for my medical concerns.
Great experience with Stamatakos.
Brooke Elliott has been our primary caregiver 5 years. She is Always available in person or through MyChart! We couldn't be more pleased with her services and concerns for our wellbeing.
Like always I get my question answered. Love the staff. All great people dr Stamataco is the best DR. Ever. Thanks for being there for me
I would rate Dr. Roberts a 20 on a scale of ten if it were possible on your form. He should be the standard people aspire to become.
I like my doctor. I have never felt rushed.
Vanessa Monsef combines professionalism with a friendly bedside manner. Medical knowledge alone isn't enough by itself; one must have empathy as well. Ms. Monsef has both an excellent background as well as an ability to connect with her patients on a very human level. It's the perfect combination. I'm very glad to have her as my primary care provider. I'm at ease in her presence. I'm very happy with all facets of Legacy Health to date. Thank you.
Dr. Salleva is an amazing provider and listens to all of my concerns and helps accordingly.
I really appreciate Chris. I'm thankful he's my PCP.
Vanessa listen to me and was very helpful
Jodi Houghton has given me the best medical care I've ever had in my life.
All in all everything was good.
All good comments from my side .
I could not book a routine check-up / physical using MyChart. I had to call the office which in the year 2024 was pretty lame. Dr. Roberts was professional and courteous.
Provider lacks in communication. She didn't seem interested in what I was doing to fix the medical problem I had. She was more interested in telling me how to fix it without being willing to find out where I was in the process. If you don't know and you don't litsen to where I am in the process than how can you advise me in what to do or what not to do. I think that having the courtesy to litsen is key. She lack that courtesy and empathy.
Great Doctor and great team. Always extremely happy with the health care I receive.
Chris is always pleasant, thorough and listens to any concerns
Very good
Mindy kept me waiting, but once she got to me she was excellent. She was very thorough and discussed what I could expect from the procedure. She presented herself in a friendly yet very professional manner.

I always find Dr. Salleva to be very caring, respectful and patient with my questions. I'm very happy that she's my PCP and feel very confident in her abilities and assessments.

Ms. Brooke is a treasure and a gem for Legacy. She is such a good listener and never that she had to rush me out when I see her for an appointment. She takes her time and makes me feel that I am the most important person she had that day. She makes me feel very comfortable and she is super nice. I am grateful for her.

Excellent experience
We can't ask for a better clinic a family doctor. We are. Wery lucky to have doctor robert and his team to look after us.
Dr. Bowdens office is one of the best in the system.

The doctor, her staff, and related departments were very attentive and helpful.
It was a good visit.
Dr. Bowden is always great. Doesn't beat around the bush. Talks to you like a person.
I feel lucky to have such a caring and professional care team.
The best PC EVER!!
Best doctor I have ever had.
Dr Salleva is the best Dr I've ever had and her team is fantastic as well. I've already referred people to her
The provider and assistants were patient and listened and answered my questions. A very favorable experience. They reminded me of the communications we can have via My Health website.
So far everything is good!!
Never have had a bad experience,it's always been good.
I was very good interaction altogether.
This provider obviously continues to educate herself by reading up to date medical material so I have a high degree of trust in her opinion. As well she authentically listens to me and is flexible when we discuss what I want to do in response to a situation.
Dr. Salleva is outstanding. She listens, knows what to do, considers options with me. Is inclusive of medical research and my specific conditions. I feel so fortunate to have Dr. Salleva as my primary care doctor.
Dr. Roberts is very good and lucky to call him my doctor
My son is now a patient also
Would highly recommend Dr. James ROBERTS. Appreciate his communication style, knowledge and response to questions/concerns.
Dr. Bowden had information from my blood work and went over each item with me from the tests and helped me determine what issues needed to be dealt with. He was very patient with me and explained why he thought I should start some medications.
She actually listens and doesn't push a lot of medication.
Dr. Bowden is the best.
The folks at Salmon Creek family medicine are outstanding.
I appreciate Dr. Bowden. He never makes me feel like he is rushing or lacks focus. I have his total attention and I am thankful.

Awesome medical group
I've always felt that everyone truly cares for and about me. I feel like I'm more like friend and family than just another patient.
Thorough in questioning.
Everyone that I had contact with were both professional and personable. This is definitely my choice for receiving health suggestions and concerns.
I am almost 68 years old, and this provider, along with all of her staff, are absolutely the best people! They are professional, friendly, and attentive. It does not get any better than that!

Very helpful visit
Excellent care
Good
Dr Bowden and his MA are responsive and caringFeel like my issues were addressed with clarity and that I was heard
Dr. Salleva listens attentively and thoroughly explains medical information. She is kind and encouraging.
Dr Saleeva helped me immensely
This provider is professional, friendly and courteous. He listens carefully and respectfully and shows care and support.
The entire staff is always helpful with questions or scheduling.
I was the first appointment of the morning, I waited in the lobby to be called for 35 minutes because there was a substitute medical assistant and he never called on me, so I went to the desk and told them I had been waiting for 35 minutes and then he was told to call me Inside. I was not happy, had nothing to do with my dr.....it was the substitute medical assistants problem.
I greatly appreciated Dr. Roberts was not in a hurry to leave for the day even though it was the second to last appointment time slot of the day. Dr. Roberts was attentive, thorough, inquisitive, and professional. Loved his equal frustrations (empathy) with medical care challenges in the area (like difficulty of getting timely access to gastrointestinal caregivers); it made the visit seem more personal. I greatly appreciate transparency and honesty in healthcare providers, Dr. Roberts seemed to provide both.
Dr. Bowden and his nurse are the sweetest! Now that I'm single parenting it I'm having to usually bring all 3 kids along to all appointments and they always acknowledge all 3 and entertain any questions or curiosity any of them have. That right there means so much to me! The kids have always loved Dr. Bowden and and actually look forward to going to the doctor for their check ups. I also love that Dr. Bowden actually takes the time to listen to any concerns I have with the kids and helps navigate to find solutions. He has always been a huge advocate for my kids and it's nice to have a doctor that listens and doesn't dismiss a parents concerns.
I am thankful for the care I receive from Dr Roberts and the staff at the clinic.
Was all good
Dr. Salleva is excellent. I know that I can count on her for the very best care. She is both smart and personable-a winning combination.
Quick service. Easy communication by phone or through internet. Knowledgeable, friendly, skilled, and efficient providers and administrative staff.
She was pleased with my check up and after 7 months of testing , I w as cleared back to work full time with a 3 month follow up for medication. I have referred her to family, she is great .
Never had a bad experience
Dr Roberts is very professional and knowledgeable. I am very pleased with the care that he has provided to me over the last several years.
Dr. Bowden is always very thoughtful and informative. Our whole family enjoys working with him.
I am very satisfied with Dr. Saliva!! I feel lucky to have her. I think she is great and I feel I sm in good hands!
Discussed medications to be sent to pharmacy to treat this illness. Pharmacy never received prescriptions. Called clinic office and was told I had indicated to the Dr I did not want the medications. That is not true. When the Dr and I parted company I commented I would wait to hear from the pharmacy when the medications were ready to be picked up and he responded "yes." So I had to call the office this morning to figure out what was going on. Have had difficulties recently communicating with this Dr for refills. It took over a week for him to respond to a refill request. He has been a wonderful Dr until recently. Thinking of looking for a different physician.
I always feel heard. Thanks to Dr Elliot I finally have medical answers that I have been chasing down for nearly 20 years. She actually listens to me and checks things out instead of automatically blaming everything on my anxiety.
He has been my primary for years. An awesome doctor.
Overall was very good.
Dr Bowden and staff are attentive, efficient and friendly. Dr Bowden listens to, answers and addresses my health concerns.
Dr. Saleeva is the best doctor I have seen in my adult years. She is knowledgeable, caring, listens to you and makes sure you have all the questions and concerns taken care of before leaving.
Everyone is very friendly and professional
Doctor Roberts and staff are always so kind and professional.
Another great visit with Dr. Everything went well again
Dr. Roberts and his staff are always great to work with.
Brooke Elliott has always been an excellent provider. She listens to my concerns, takes action, & asks my opinion. She's THE BEST!!!
The doctor and the nurse are excellent. The front desk staffs could use some more guidance and tips on how to deal with a hearing impaired patients a little bit better. Thank you.
My doctor is very friendly and helpful every time I go to see him.
Dr, Salleva is such a sweetheart!! She is always interested in me and any problems that I might have. She smiles with her eyes!!
My provider takes time and listens to what I have to say. She gives me options and lets me play apart in my care. I really feel comfortable seeing her.
I just love this office and the people who care for me.
Very relatable and well spoken team. All were respectful and kind. All questions were answered courteously. No issues scheduling follow up appointment.
He was very knowledgeable and was not to pushy with child. My child is not a neurodivergent kid, and struggles with interactions with people he does not know. The doctor was able to check him out with minimal discomfort to my child. Which is a huge plus.
Dr. Roberts is always very attentive and knowledgeable.
Dr Stamatakos is very easy to talk to . He can relate to your problems because he's a veteran professional with knowledge based on skill and experience
Good attention and respect
Provider friendly, concerned, knowledgeable and helpful. Genuinely caring.
My doctor and the clinic are great and are keeping me healthy!
Dr. Bowden diagnosed my daughter with pneumonia and treated her promptly and correctly. What could have gotten much worse, got better promptly due to his excellent care! Thankyou, Dr. Bowden!!
My visit was very good and the staff was caring and concerned fo my issue. I have no complaints
My experience in being able to communicate with the legacy system has been exceptional especially as compared to the Vanvouver Clinic
Love Dr. Saleeva. She listens and is very thorough.
Dr. Roberts Is a friendly and Professional. It is a Joy to go to the doctor.
In all regards, Dr. Salleva is the most outstanding primary care doctor I've ever had. My complex medical profile and unique conditions are regarded with individualized treatment. I feel she really listens, and at the same time guides and directs me with both knowledge and perception. I can't say how much I appreciate Dr. Salleva.
Always good
Xlnt as usual
All was good
I have a great doctor. When it comes to my health he makes it simple and caring.
A very kind and caring physician but also she was SUPER INTELLIGENT and obviously knows medicine!
Dr. Saleva heard my concerns about my elevated BP - concerns I know are exacerbated by my family history. She took the time to check the accuracy of my iHome bp monitor, and prescribed a very low dose of medication, feeling that's all I need to get stabilized. When my pharmacy indicated the med would not be ready for a week, your office willingly and swiftly switched the script to another pharmacy. I appreciated that very much.
Always confident and impressed with the health care here.
This was a good experience
I'm a disabled veteran who has access to VA with no cost to myself. I choose to pay money to have Doc Chris and his team be in charge of my medical issues. Doc Chris has had such a huge positive impact on my medical issues. My quality of life has doubled since I started seeing Doc Chris.
The dr and front desk staff were very helpful
Everything was very good
My Dr. Stamatakos & the nurse & staff really are the Best!!! Thank you!!!
Very good
Everything went very well.
Experience was good.
Dr Roberts and his staff are always great - I could not ask for more with my medical treatment.
I have already recommend my Dr. To family and friends
Brooke Elliott PA showed professional care and listened to our concerns. We felt heard and respected in every aspect.
All my family including my ex goes to this provider. He's the best!!!
Very professional staff from the front desk, nurses and Dr. / PA
Chris Stamatakos is an excellent, professional, approachable, transparent, amenable PA. I am extremely happy with his approach to clinical professionalism. I will always recommend him to others looking for a PCP.
This provider and team are always courteous, great listeners and I am always at ease when I visit them. It's never stressful and I never feel anxious during any part of the visit.
Love the Legacy team and facilities.
Like that dr and his assistant know me, a little about me and I get a sense of having a dr/patient relationship. Don't have to go over the basics even though I just see for annual physical. To the point but thorough. Would recommend any day
Very knowledgeable
Excellent time talking to the doctor about concerns and recommendations. Such a kind, understanding man and a dear listener.
Always respected, best care, every so polite.
Is the doctor supposed to check man's private parts for cancer, prostate/testicular, etc? Previous doctor was doing this, new doctor does not
Dr Salleva spent extra time discussing a health issue other than the reason I was seeing her for.
Love Dr Salleva!
Dr Salleva is amazing and the service provided by everyone in the office is wonderful.
This med group has been taking care of me for many years and have become like family, I think very highly of their health care team.
My Doctor is amazing. I hope she never retires.
Dr James is the very best !
Very affable and pleasant provider. Did not rush thru time allotted.Was looking for a physician directed physical based on my age.
Thank you!
I felt this visit was very productive. We discussed everything on my list, refilled prescriptions, and got orders for mammogram, hip X-ray and blood draw
Dr. James P. Roberts is a PHENOMENAL Physician. He has ALWAYS taken EXCEPTIONAL care of me, that Includes physical as well as my mental health. I trust him EXPLICITLY. He Is kind, courteous, patient, professional, and knowledgeable in the art of healing. I am VERY BLESED to have him as my Doctor.
Dr Salleva is a great Dr. She cares for real about me and my health. She spends the time needed to understand me and my health issues and answers all of my questions and makes sure I understand everything and the game plan. She also puts up with me challenging her on some treatment options that are recommended and explains WHY she is recommending the treatment vs another option, which makes me more inclined to try a treatment that at first I was reluctant to or against. She meets me where I"m at and works with me. She is really the best physician I've ever had.
Dr. Salleva is very much aware of my health issues. She listens to my concerns and involves me in deciding my care. She is an outstanding Doctor and has taken care of my health issues. I trust her judgement and treatment. Her office staff is also outstanding, treating me with respect, and directing my questions to appropriate nurse or Doctor Salleva. They either call me or reply by mychart. I am very happy with Dr. Salleva and her staff and certainly would recommend her for all my friends and family.
I have more faith in Dr. Salleva than I've ever had with anyone else and wish for her to be my provider indefinitely.
