Dr Sears is great at explaining my condition to me and very understanding of my needs.
Dr Sears is the absolute best and his staff are awesome!
Very professional, polite and careful.
My dr is very concerned with every issue I have and responses immediately. I am so pleased with her care!
Dr Markin and her team are absolutely stellar. During the many years they have treated me for this incurable condition, I have always felt that I am receiving the very best care possible. I credit them with extending my life for years past my prognosis. I can honestly say that I cherish Dr Markin and her staff and count myself blessed to be their patient.
I felt I was dealt with according to my symptoms, but that the cause of my symptoms was not addressed.
I had a great experience and learned a lot about my situation.
Everything went well.
Took extra step to make sure both CT and PET scan could be done same day. Appreciated that!
Dr Tavan is a great doc!
Dr. Was patient and non-condescending, despite my not ascribing fully to allopathic methods. Very much appreciated!
Recommend me for a cancer screening trial and provided me with a flutter treatment device.
My experiences have all been good.
This was my first meeting with Dr. Corbett. I found her approachable, kind and considerate of my symptoms. She explained things very well, and I left feeling she and Is had a good understanding of my symptoms. She contacted my as soon a my labs were on Myhealth to tell me the results and their meaning. I will return as necessary, to see her.
Very good.
She was great!
Fix the Health Summary section of MyChart. I'm told I am "overdue" for a bunch of stuff that I've actually taken care of or had done. There's no way to update it. One can only input "Correction[s]" as separate health concerns. But it seems that no provider or monitor ever reads it. It results in annoying mistakes in one's record. Thx
Dr Markin is the best .., she is way knowledgeable with my condition and always explains things in a way that I can understand
Dr Markin is an excellent physician. She has literally saved my life.
I was referred to Dr. Fein by my regular pulmanologist. I felt very comfortable with him. He took his time and was patient with me.
Excellent doctor and staff.
Enjoyed Elise and Dr Markin very much during this visit...Thank you very much for your kindness and professional support and knowledge
Easy to communicate with and understand her plan for my care !
Melissa was great. She never makes me feel rushed and always answers all of my questions. She has been excellent at helping me manage my health
Dr Fein is an excellent pulmonologist. His team were also very good. I have no complaints.
Dr Sears is my pulmpnoligist, just one in my long list of specialists. This visit was in April. I don't remember it that clearly but I know I'm happy with my team.
Dr Markin has always been so great! She is very wise, compassionate and one step ahead of where I am. Because of her, I'm leading as healthy a life that can be expected! Her staff including Johnelle and other medical staff are always there and quick to answer questions. Thank you!!
The bad was that I was very I'll. The good everyone was wonderful and caring
Dr Sears is the absolute best. He's extremely intelligent, helpful, interested, and the best listener ever. He's one of the best doctors I've ever had.
Dr. Hines is professional and personable.
During my procedure day, all hospital staff were excellent. This especially of short stay nurse Jen
I liked that provider was very patient and had a very pleasant attitude . I was listened to. The appointment wasn't rushed. It was easy to get an appointment or a call back from nursing team with reference as to what I should do about my health issue until my appointment time.
Vey competent very professional very kind
The inability for the orders placed to be scheduled is dysfunctional and a huge barrier to receiving care with Legacy. This in no way reflects Dr Sears. Its a week later, I have Medicare (no PA) and cannot schedule my PETCT because someone can't check boxes to move the order from in review to in process. Fail.
I like when the doctor listens Dr Tavan is very open and easy to talk to and suggest solutions
Always positive!
If asking for a form or other documentation from my provider it would be helpful to receive more regular updates about the progress.
The doc was awesome. He listened and even laughed at my bad jokes.He was attentive, funny and compassionate
The team was respectful and friendly, from making the appointment, checking In, to getting ready for the visit, in the exam room. Dr. Sears is at the top of my list of preferred providers. He listened attentively to me, asked questions to make sure we had all of the relevant information and invited a conversation about options to form a plan going forward. I have upmost confidence in Dr. Sears in helping me to pursue resolving the issues which prompted this follow up visit.
It was a very good experience from start to finish.
Dr. Sears was excellent.
Fabulous caring physician.
The doctor seems to have no treatment plan updates or developments regarding CTEPH post PTE surgery. The doctor keeps trying to treat me for common asthma which I don't have.
I could not find the building/suite at Good Sam and was then late. It took two phone calls to get through the automated phone tree, then several more minutes of hold time to actually get to a person. About eight minutes all together while I stood on the corner crying. The phone tree queue is way too confusing, especially when it comes to the list of doctors for when wanting to talk with a medical assistant. Wow, I don't know who recorded that or approved the script, but it's ridiculously long and overwhelming. Highly recommend a better breakdown to get so patients can get help more easily.Again, I was in tears.
Excellent physician, and staff!
Dr Hines is always a pleasure as is her staff.
Always a good experience in my 18 yrs with Legacy GS.
I have implicit trust in Dr. Tavan. He not only listens but he remembers! Even things from years ago.
Dr McKenzie is thoughtful, thorough and very caring. She is my favorite physician by far.
Dr Hines and staff were very professional and friendly. I will 100% recommend Dr Hines.
Very good, he actually took the time to explain things he asked questions I asked questions and I came away with knowing more than I did. He actually was more compassionate to the specialist I had seen before. I trust him
Dr. Sears took his time listening to my questions/concerns and responded to each clearly and thoroughly.
The provider uses MyHealth and not MyChart. She is my pulmonary care provider, but she approaches all issues and problems holistically that I really appreciate.
Sincerely tried to help, very competant regarding pulmonary issues
All good- nice people
My doctor is very friendly very nice personality I love visiting with him
First visit there. Some questions here no applicable.
Very good
Dr. S. Sears is OUTSTANDING. I wish I had the needed attention that I get from him (our first apptt of several, I'm sure) from my "primary" doctor. I don't Have a primary doctor, I have student-doctors (3 separate 'primary' doctor apptts, 3 different student-doctors mentored by rotating doctors, That and because I changed med insurance 1/1/24 and new to Legacy somewhat, greatly complicated receiving assistance as well, as quickly as I would have liked. Dr. Sears has made me feel So Much Better, now that I am under his care. Much appreciated. Can't wait to get my very own primary doctor along w/services of specialists which will definitely include Dr. S. Sears. Thank you.
Quality professional care
I couldn't figure out how to get into the parking garage at the Good Sam location. I called to the office to ask which parking garage. She clearly had never been there before, because she gave me incorrect information. As I drove around, she kept saying the entrance to the garage is on Lovejoy. It's not, it's off Kearney. My 86 year old Mom just wanted to go home. Maybe staff need to visit all locations so they know first hand information.
I am very satisfied with my numerous visits, with my healthcare provider, Dr Christopher Fraley, and his team / staff! And Legacy Hospitals. You all, are greatly appreciated! Thank you, so very much! ~ Lance Martin, ofPortland, Oregon.
Extremely good.
Dr. Fraley is the best. He always talks with us like we're old friends. Seems like he is genuinely interested in us as people.
Dr Markin has provided me with outstanding medical care for over two decades. She has supported me through very difficult times with an autoimmune disease and has genuinely celebrated with me as my health and quality of life have improved. Ive seen many specialist because of the multidisciplinary approach to treating an autoimmune disease (rheumatologists, neurologists, endocrinologists etc.), and Dr. Markin has BY FAR been the most knowledgeable and supportive, regardless of specialty. I feel very lucky to have her on my team!
I was in the e.r on 2/1 and scheduled a follow up appointment the next day with doctor tavan. He called me the morning of 2/2 to confirm. My entire two day experience with Legacy doctors and staff from urgent care to xray facility to emergency room to dr. Tavan was as good as you can hope for in a medical crisis.
I came about 15 minutes early but I was in a waiting room in less than 5 minutes
Very good
Dr. Sears is one of my favorite doctors. He treats me as "a whole person" as well as monitoring my medical status. I trust him both as a person and a physician.
Dr. Tavan is wonderfully proactive about my health issues. He initiates and is clear with his recommendations. He's warm and easy to feel comfortable with.
I loved Dr Tavan & staff but I hate certain aspects of My Chart. No one is updating my information when I request to have it corrected. I hate that you can't fulfill my repeated requests to text me instead of calling me with your annoying reminder at 7 pm
Dr Sears and his staff are the best. Prompt in responding. Thorough in replies. Friendly and understanding.
Very thorough with history and test results. I wish I could have her as my PPC.
I have a high level of confidence in Dr McKenzie
The MA was awesome. Kind friendly and thorough No questions in the survey on MA excellence
Excellent and kind staff, some other clinics and hospitals should take lessons from Good Sam/ Legacy
Catherine Markin, MD is an excellent physician. She is one of my most trusted physicians. I receive careful and caring assistance from her.
Outstanding/ caring helpful
Things went fine
Dr, Tavan is great!
Really good doctor and staff
Dr Sears is always attentive and genuine and helpful
Dr. Corbett is an amazing practitioner! She had obviously reviewed my chart before the visit, so our conversation was direct and efficient while remaining personable. (There's another Doc in this practice that is pretty much the opposite of Dr Corbett. That visit was like a pre-recorded lecture with no Q & A.)My previous visits with Dr. Corbett were so helpful I referred a friend, who continues to thank me often! Doctors like Corbett represent what every patient/client hopes to find for their care.
Dr, Fein and his staff went through test and the procedure I will be having very thoroughly so that I understood what to expect.
Nothing unpleasant to tell. Medical/administrative staff have always been helpful, patient, and caring in their interactions
Very comfortable to discuss medical needs. No unnecessary pills or tests. Helpful answering questions.
I would appreciate being treated as a person rather than a patient....
Dr. Fraley is one of my favorite practitioners.
Dr Tavan is a Great Specialist and a Wonderful Human Being. I have been his patient for a long time and he has provided me with excellent care, kindness, respectfulness and willingness to help me to refer me to Good Specialists. He is an Admirable Health Provider.
