Great doctor

  Nov 12, 2024
Dr Ly is the best doctor I've ever had, he listens to me carefully. Cares about how I'm feeling and is always helpful when I feel anxious or worried. He has always taken good care of me and I am very difficult due to my many medical conditions, he cares and that's the most important thing when you're scared of your medical conditions. He is kind and always listens to me and understands my medical needs.

Dr. Ly is the consummate professional and is the gold standard when it comes to patient care and kindness. Best Primary care provider I have ever had the opportunity to know.

Dr. LY is an excellent provider! The thing is his practice is extremely large and It Is so hard to get appointment with him when the patient really needs I It is good that there are other providers in his clinic and they can be seeing sooner But they are Not Dr.LY !!! He is soo good at answering messages in MyHealrh but this is not a substitute for a visit. We love seeing him that's why we picked him for our family doctor!

  Nov 02, 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.

  Jul 10, 2024
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.

  Jul 03, 2024
Dr Ly is an exceptionally aware and sensitive physician.

  Jun 24, 2024
Nothing else to add. I am always pleased, whenever I go to see my PCP. Grateful!

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.

  May 13, 2024
I would rather not.

  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

  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.

  Dec 19, 2023
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.

  Dec 13, 2023
Always excellent

  Dec 13, 2023
Thoughtful and considerate care

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!
