This was by far the best visit I have ever had with this provider. Friendly, attentive, educational, concern, and thoroughness. But most of all... She didn't act rushed and spent quality, productive time with me. Treated me like my health mattered. Major improvement.

I've been seeing Dr. Slack for about 15 years and would highly recommend to anyone.
Mar 28, 2023
The biggest issue would be with the front office. The last few times I have been their they seem as though they are bothered by the patients. Even to the point that some seem emotionally unstable. There doesn't seem to be any kind of ethics when it comes to other patients private information. Maybe a glass wall that muffled what they were saying would be something that is looked into. Also for a front office I would expect a more professional dress code. The front office sets the tone for the entire establishment and some of them have turned me off enough to even think about finding a different Dr. That's a tough pill to swallow since I have always trusted Dr Slack to give me the best care she knows how to. Dr. Slack is a really good Dr. And I am happy I am one of her patients.

Dr. Slack takes time to go over options and make recommendations while respecting my own preferences and concerns. She is always professional, but also seems to genuinely care about my wellbeing.
Mar 1, 2023
I have gone to Dr. Slack for years and continue to like the care and level of knowledge she gives. However to do not like being charged for additional same day office visits. It inhibits me from sharing.

Dec 20, 2022
I always get great care when I am seen here in the clinic by all staff members. I feel well cared for.
Dec 16, 2022
I had communicated concerns to the MA and filled out assessments on a clip board. None of them were addressed. I didn't feel brave to bring them up due to a note on the clip board that at my annual checkup I could not ask about new concerns. I wanted some recognition that I had made progress like lower weight, more exercise, lower cholesterol. Got good support for ongoing concerns.

Dr. Slack spent adequate time diagnosing my condition and was very thorough.
Nov 30, 2022
It felt like a rushed time with my provider - while "we got a visit accomplished" and my medical concerns addressed, it felt like she could have dedicated a few minutes to asking about my recent surgery. The visit lasted less than 15 minutes.
Nov 29, 2022
Dr. Slack is great. Very friendly, competent, and thorough.
Nov 23, 2022
All good. Dr. Slack is perfect as my pcp. Thank you so much from a grateful patient.

I am a nonbinary Queer. The office staff updated my name in their records immediately & the office was very LGBTQAI2S welcoming. Dr Slack apologized when she got my pronouns wrong. That atmosphere/environment makes a huge difference.
Nov 17, 2022
Really nice staff from on the phone to in person. As a health care worker myself I can see the staff take pride in helping patients.
Nov 8, 2022

Nov 4, 2022
Dr. Slack is wonderful and I hope she is recognized by her institution for being the caring, thoughtful provider she is! Legacy needs more PCPs just like her- please work to keep Dr. Slack and the staff protected from the burnout factors that abound right now to maintain such excellent care.

Love this office and Dr Slack
Sep 20, 2022
The only concern/comment I have is how I felt like my time is not as important than yours. I scheduled an appointment to be the first appointment of the day that you made available. I wanted to be the first appointment so I would be able to come in and get out quickly In order to make it to my work on time. I live and work in Vancouver. I got up earlier than I do usually to make sure I did not make anyone wait for me. I arrived 10 minutes early to park my car and get to your office and check in. I arrived at the reception desk 5 min before my appointment. I then sat in the waiting room for 15 min past my appointment time before taken back to the exam room. No one mentioned anyone running late or anything. Like communicating to me why I would be sitting and waiting 15 past my appointment time (the first one of the day) didn't matter. I was annoyed because I was made to feel like my time doesn't matter and I am not as Important as you. If I had been 15 min late to show up to my appointment, the Dr and clinic would have been annoyed with me and may or may not have told me to reschedule. I am understanding when things don't go right and schedules get messed up. It happens! But treating me like I should just deal with it isn't fair.

Dr Slack is the best.
Aug 11, 2022
During this visit, she was dismissive and seemed irritated with my description of symptoms. Blood test results came back same day and two were flagged as "high", but no response from her for almost a week and she did not address the two flagged results. I'm looking for another primary care provider.

Dr Slack is excellent at her job, anyone would be extremely luck to have her as their pcp. My husband will be seeing her now as his pcp since his pcp is retiring and he so appreciates Dr Slack's bedside manner and her expert medical knowledge.
