Not able to get mri when needed
  Jul 18, 2024
Dr Ly is the great!
  Jul 18, 2024
My positive response regarding being able to get an appointment was based on the fact that I know I have to call several months in advance to schedule a physical. My positive response regarding having enough time with Dr. Ly at this appointment was based on the fact that I know doctors are impossibly tightly scheduled. I want to be clear that Dr. Ly did nothing to make me feel rushed in any way - he made sure my questions/concerns were all addressed. However, I am always aware that the "system" allows a very limited amount of time for an appointment - an unfortunate development for both medical professionals and their patients.

Dr. Ly and I are both very aware of the situations.Dr. Lay's follow up (post lab tests) was exemplary:)
  Jul 06, 2024
Ben Ly is the best primary care doctor I have ever had. I'm almost 80 so that says a lot. Our conversations about my health, my life, concerns about future health issues, etc are always well considered and inviting to respond and engaging. It is like a rich conversation with a good friend and colleague.

Nothing else to add. I am always pleased, whenever I go to see my PCP. Grateful!

Initial weigh in was done without regard to heavy outer garments used total weight to figure BMI .. Actual weight was 4 To 5 lbs less a bit insensitive and inaccurate.

Dr Ben is the greatest!!
  Jun 15, 2024
Dr Ly is fantastic. He caught my prostate cancer very early and made excellent referrals. He also reviewed all of the consults and biopsy results profile to my appointment. I recommend him every time I'm asked who to see.
  Jun 15, 2024
I very much like Dr Ly. I find it difficult to get appointments. I feel by seeing different health care team members for each visit I am not getting the continuity of care I would like. Each physician I saw seemed quite knowledgeable but they did not know me nor have a full feeling of the duration of my illness. I became sick March 31st and did not see my PCP until June 14. I saw 3 different physicians in the clinic and one visit to urgent care.
  Jun 12, 2024
Dr Ben Ly ia a very good doctor and he'll always be my doctor until I will be here in Legacy. Kudos to him!

Dr. Ly was very sensitive and caring about a scary health concern I had in November, and he asked about this. He is a good doctor, as well as a kind person.

  May 16, 2024
Both Dr. Ben V Ly and staff at Legacy have provided excellent and caring service over the past 13 years(?)In the last year, Dr. Ly agreed to see my sister and she finds him to be the best physician she has ever used. Dr. Ly has been extremely caring, a champion for the patient, and excellent at coordinating specialty care and needs on behalf of the patient.
  May 15, 2024
Dr. Ly is the best doctor I've ever had! He is so caring, listens carefully, warm and reassuring, and is very thorough in his diagnosis and explanations. He spends the time to fully assess my conditions and concerns.
  May 13, 2024
One of Dr. Ly's assistants answered my messages on MyHealth and did not know what was going on. Felt he(?) should have left it to Dr. Ly to answer the discussion we had been having.

Dr Ben V Ly is an outstanding primary doctor, and by far the best doctor I have ever had!When my partner Freddie and I moved to Portland 4 years ago, Dr Ly was not taking new patients.Our best friends, Beth Emshoff and Anne McDiarmid were current patients of Dr Ly. They advocated for Dr. Ly to take us into his practice. Fortunately, he agreed!
  Jan 24, 2024
Dr. Ly has always been most kind and considerate...and especially good for my husband because they are both very "detail oriented and thorough" In nature!!! We appreciate him and are thankful for his insights and vision. When Dr. Ly speaks...my husband listens!!!
  Jan 23, 2024

  Jan 21, 2024
3 years I thought this clinic was pretty awful and I attempted to transfer out. Since the summer, I have been pleasantly surprised by how nice everyone and helpful everyone has been. Dont know how this happened but kudos to all of you.
  Jan 10, 2024
Dr Ly is incredible! I wish everyone could have such great care as he provides. Dr Ly is one of those types of drs little kids grow up wanting to be.

  Jan 09, 2024
Wonderful provider and clinic. No complaints!
  Jan 06, 2024
Took 3 months to get an appointment
  Dec 27, 2023
I'm mey Dr Li on what was essentialy a med check to make sure all of my scripts had adequate refills since I'm doing an insurance transition. He was very nice friendly and helpful.
  Dec 21, 2023
Dr Ly is fantastic! My husband's legacy provider is leaving (different clinic) so I asked Dr Ly is he could take him on. He said he is prevented from doing so by management (too many patients already?). I tried to make an appointment for my husband with the new providers at Legacy NW clinic and was told they are only scheduling patients from within Legacy NW clinic, not other Legacy clinics. I think Legacy clinics should accept patients from all Legacy clinics. I saw Dr Zeller at Legacy NW for at least 30 years so I am a loyal Legacy patient. Also, I am a recently retired nurse from the Legacy Pain Clinic. I expect more loyalty and care for the Legacy "family".
  Dec 21, 2023
Excellent at getting records and relevant information for discussion. Quick.
  Dec 19, 2023
Dr. Ly is the best! He's a great listener, very supportive and reassuring.

Each visit with Dr Ly makes me feel confident about my healthcare. I feel fortunate to have Dr Ly as my primary care provider. He is a gift.
  Dec 16, 2023
I feel very fortunate to have Dr Ly as my new primary. He listened to me and explained everything thoroughly.
  Dec 15, 2023
Dr Ly exceptionally focused, comprehensive in dealing with all levels of concern, and able to gain insight from a battery of tests he himself orders.
  Dec 15, 2023
I love Dr. Ly - he's really the best. My only concern is that you have to wait SO LONG to see him. At least a month for a video appointment and two or three months for an in-person. When after an ER visit, they were not able to get me onto his schedule for a follow up until FOUR WEEKS LATER. My issues weren't life threatening, but it makes me anxious to think about if I would be able to see him in time if I were more urgently sick.
  Dec 14, 2023
First visit with Dr. LY. I have been most upset & anxious about the departure of Dr. Robins. Now my mind is at ease to have another wonderful, caring doctor.
  Dec 13, 2023
Caring and good listener.

Thoughtful and considerate care
  Dec 05, 2023
Dr. Ly is quite literally the best doctor I've ever had. He truly cares for his patients and goes above and beyond for me every time I see him. I've never before had such wonderful and thorough care as I have with him. He is absolutely outstanding!
  Nov 22, 2023
I have been going to this clinic for 25 years. In September Legacy decide to cut down my dr's patient list.for no reason I was terminated as her patient. I did not give a good score for referring friends. In this area I need to say that I have referred 4 family members to this clinic, who are still there. I would like to know why i've lost my doctor. And through an email. This is just so grossly unprofessional I question whether I will return to Legacy. I had my babies here, sent my children here and went through three heart attacks with my husband here. I hope you realize how your thoughtless handling of your patients in this matter will reflect your future reputation which is definitely not a plus at this point in time!
  Nov 18, 2023
The support staff are great and clearly overworked. The clinic beds better staffing and legacy needs to prioritize hiring more providers like Ben Ly. There's a reason he's booked out several months and is willing to schedule visits on lunch breaks. He is a vital and wholly wonderful care provider for me as a queer and trans person.
  Nov 15, 2023
Dr Ly is a wonderful doctor
