Is doctor Thomas Knowles was great

The only reason that wait time was rates less than excellent was that he was in emergency surgery. The MA kept me apprised of the ETA as Dr Knowles was calling the office with that info. I was politely given options to wait for about 45 minutes or leave and reschedule. It was my choice to wait. When Dr Knowles arrived, he profusely apologized for the delay as he did when I left. The entire staff was very nice and professional. I am completely satisfied with the entire appointment. I am confident that future procedures and, likely, surgery will be in good hands.

My visit with Dr. Knowles was very positive. Although he is a Surgeon, and I have never had surgery, I found him to be knowledgeable and sensitive to my medical condition. As a retired RN, he respected my medical background and conversed with me on a clinical level. I appreciated that level of conversation and his professionalism.

Muy buena y muy profesionales en general exelentes

The provider was very good in his specialty

Friendly, professional, empathetic people make good visits and good care. Dr Knowles office provides this in spades.

Very satisfied

It was okay. Wasn't quit what I wanted to hear about my pain.

I was very impressed by the time the Dr took to explain everything thing to me, including drawing pictures on the white board to give me a visual understanding of what my insides look like and what could be happening and what the future tests would do, as well as possible surgery depending on the results. It put my mind at ease and made me much more comfortable with the upcoming tests.

Dr. Jan spent time explaining the workings of the body and answered all my questions. At no point did I feel rushed, nor did he seem so either.

Very satisfied!

Alll good

We just met

Very good experience being first time there

Dr Knowles is my kind of doctor. Human, approachable, has a sense of humor and extremely knowledgeable. His front office staff blew my mind! Above and beyond helpful, without even having to ask. Very empathetic, understandable and thoroughon top of it!

Very understanding and knowledgeable and kind

I feel safe with Dr. Knowles! He listens attentively. He has a sense of humor. He is straight forward in explaining procedures and possible outcomes. Very glad that he will be my doctor!

Doctor seemed to actually care about my problem.

I have already recommended Dr Knowles to 2 neighbors with problems in areas of his expertise. One is now a current patient and very happy with his care.

Very good attentive care!

Have a hs. I need surgery to remove the infection. This is in about six different zones of my body. My quality of life is crap. I'm in constant daily high level pain. The surgeon refused and is more focused on my blood sugar. I understand I need to get my blood sugar under control and it can slow the healing process. But having an infection can also raise your blood sugar levels. I can also work out if I don't have massive levels of pain and the inability to walk some days. The surgeon ordered blood test and suggested that I quit my job to improve my health. Unacceptable.

They are friendly when I go in and I don't have to wait more than 15 minutes and the doctor discusses everything thoroughly to where I understand it and when I call, I don't have to wait on the phone very long and I get the answers. I need that I'd recommend this doctor to people that are having issues, similar to mine

Dr. Tran, if we stop talking about race and gender identity, it will eventually be a non-issue. Take those questions out of this survey.My visits to Curtis Marr's office are always fantastic. Friendly and helpful medical pros. They care and show it.Dr Knowles is great. He's friendly and really knows scrotal anomalies. But, contrary to popular belief, he is not related to Beyonce.

No comment

Dr. Knowles was great. Highly conscientious, caring, skilled and knowledgeable.

It was all good

My surgeon, Jay Jan, was excellent. I would recommend him to friends and family.

Great Doctor Care

I really like how the MA spoke to me about my condition. And Dr Knowles has been exceptional in my care; from the first appointment through all of my procedures. He and his staff are all exceptional, in my opinion. I felt very confident in their care.

Very good surgeon he did an awesome job very satisfied with result

I was a surgical PA for 40 years so I avoided many of the hurdles that others need to clear ergo this survey should be taken " with a grain of low sodium salt"

Couldn't ask for a better doctors visit,

I was disappointed by the surprise that weeks of delay due to insurance approval. I've waited months to be seen by a specialist. Now my situation is not great. I don't hold your staff responsible though. Christopher

Good

Only issue was the need by the office to reschedule the initial appointment a couple of times to a later date each time. They were very courteous and professional in the calls and rescheduling.

Dr. Knowles office staff is first class, really helpful... Dr. Knowles is a God Send as far as I'm concerned; repairing my hernia in the best possible way, with little or no after effects, or pain, and on this post-op exam determining that the repair is holding and healing as it should.... I would and will recommend dr. Knowles to anyone I feel could benefit from his services... The Good Sam Hospital where the operation with Dr. Knowles took place, is like a well oiled machine, so smooth, and each patient treated like they are the only patients for that day.

None

Seen on Thursday for painful cyst on right buttock, Cyst removed in 15 minutes surgery Friday morning, still waiting for lab to analyze nodule, no report, Dr. Luai Zorour admits HE doesn't know what it is, or how it got there but assures me that he and my other providers will do their best to understand how, why, when nodule came to exist, why so painful, why so resistant to anti=biiotics, can another be prevented.

I got a referral to see a specialist at this clinic and I'm very happy I got dr. Zarour. Very professional, friendly, great communication. He explained everything very clear so I can understand what I have and what I need to do next.

This was the first time at this office. I did not know where to go, it would be nice if your office would give instructions on you appointment . Or give phone number for the office.

I called to let them know I was running a bit late and they were very understanding.

I'm waiting to get a call to schedule at OHSU to see a surgeon I'm in pain and have seen 3 surgeons only to be referred to another surgeon.

Very good

This surgeon knew more about my recent history than anyone had gone over with me ever. I have never learned so much about previous test results.

Dr. Standage and staff were very professional and I actually enjoyed my visit.

Dr. Standage is the best.

Dr. Knowles listened to my history & concerns about recommendation for gallbladder removal. Amenable to having one of my sisters listen in to our conversation via the telephone. She was able to ask questions & make comments too. Dr. Knowles listened to me & educated me about why surgery is recommended. I'm terrified of surgery, but he has a calm demeanor & I think I'll be in good hands.

Can't find how to get the pictures of the surgery for what was done to see what was going to understand what happened, Dr knowles said I could find them on my chart. Please let me know how? Mike at 503 349 0540 thanks

Dr. Jan was very knowledgeable about my condition, answered all my questions and concerns regarding upcoming surgery and made me feel very comfortable

Dr Knowles is an extremely talented surgeon. He performed a very complex surgery on me successfully. He's also a very nice guy.
