I love her whole office. Treat me better than Portland Clinic

  Apr 25, 2024
Visit was good. However the ability to communicate with the people at the follow up exam that she scheduled was poor. I was unable to get a call back when I had questions about the exam that was scheduled so I sort of went into it with the information I hoped was right. I had tried calling this clinic several times and left messages to no avail. The assistant did not seem very knowledgeable when I arrived at the appointment. The exam itself was very well done, friendly and fast. My only complaint is not being able to get through on the phone with my questions - just constant voicemail and no call back.

Lab blood draw was difficult

  Apr 24, 2024
I appreciated Dr. Sammond's willingness to listen to my concerns, and the EXTRA step she took to accurately hear me. I was quite concerned, and thus the reach out, on that visit re: recent significant changes In abdominal pain that had lead to a rather quick & extensive recent diagnostic work-up by the Gastroenterologist MD, and being able to address that concern & results, with Dr Sammond (PCP) to ensure she is involved in ongoing future care should pancreatic cancer be present. Post appointment (same day) she reached out to GI doc, with another test recommended, and ordered by Dr. Sammond, that revealed severe exocrine (dys)function. Since I have dysautonomia, and this is not so common, and I " look" healthy and have WNL measurable health parameters ( except postural orthostatic BP & HR life changing sx, & other life impacting changes, not readily visible or diagnosable ) I have appreciated Dr. Sammond's willingness to keep me on as a patient, and to think outside her expertise, and try to forge a working relationship to support me managing my health condition to remain autonomous in solo living. Also I appreciated her calm demeanor that day.

  Apr 23, 2024
Dr. Sammond and her staff have always given me friendly and excellent service. Dr. Sammond always listens to my concerns and gives me excellent care. I feel very fortunate to have such a great medical team taking care of me.

My mother has vascular dementia, and this provider was professional, as well as, compassionate. I know my mother is in good hands with Dr. Sammond.

  Feb 22, 2024
Since I last was seen by Dr. Sammond, I had been prescribed Methotrexate by an immunodermatologist, which I am taking long term.I appreciated the fact that Dr. Sammond noticed this in my chart and wanted to understand the Dx, Sx, and Hx of this Rx. [I was seeing Dr. Sammond for a chonic knee issue at this visit.] She could have read all of that In my chart, of course. But, I felt "cared for" that she explored that Dx with me.

  Dec 26, 2023
Dr. Sammond was welcoming, an excellent communicator, did a great job of reviewing my history and blending that with my current health need. While this was my first encounter with her, I was at ease and knew I would not leave without resolution.

  Dec 15, 2023
I've always had a very good experience when I have visited Dr. Sammond and with the medical office staff.

  Dec 14, 2023
I feel as though my appointments are not scheduled for the time needed correctly. I am very specific as to what I need an appointment for, but the Doctor often acts as though I didn't set up the time correctly, which is confusing.

  Dec 13, 2023
This time I got my appointment right away. Some times I have to wait longer than I need to.

Not a fan of the policy that during a preventative health exam the patient is not supposed to bring up new health concern or problem.

  Nov 3, 2023
Dr Sammond is so great at explaining and listening. I appreciate her and glad to have her as my primary care doctor

  Nov 1, 2023
I like Dr Sammond. She is helpful and explains things well. One think I would recommend- I am a plus sized person and every time I am given a gown it is a medium sized gown. I have to ask for a larger one so I'm not hanging out of the gown. It is not pleasant and not something I look forward to.
