Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Dr. Lowdermilk was very professional. Listened to my concerns. Went over my medications andSaid it was definitely possible to increase one of my prescriptions and said to set up a 3 month follow up. Discussed procedures I needed to update.

Very good medical team.

Every time she contacted the pharmacy about my meds, the pharmacy would immediately call & say I have 6 prescriptions ready for pick up. I told her twice not to call them, but..... very little time spent!!

I am extremely happy with my provider and I feel good about her care for me. She takes extreme care in what my needs are for my physical and mental health issues. My overall experience with Legacy Health since I switched from other heath groups I feel Legacy has been the best care and choice for me. With out Legacy Health I believe I would not be getting the proper care that I need today. Especially when living as a senior and on disability SSI. Legacy has helped me with need of food and also with mental health issues. Legacy shows nothing but compassion and kindness and with professionalism that to me shows how much Legacy Health really cares even the Hospital and Special dr's and Surgeons in my past history has the best care ever. I will never go back to Providence or OHSU poor past experience with those were not for me. Thank You Legacy for not only saving my life. But for also saving my Partners life several years ago. He almost died you saved his life I am forever grateful for that.

Listens carefully to what you are telling her.

While Dr. Lowdermilk was great, the while experience for both my kids was terrible. We had recently switched to Dr. Lowdermilk as our new primary care physician, with the understanding that she was part of a children's clinic. This was incredibly confusing as we walked into the building and there was absolutely nothing to draw kids attention, help with wait time, nothing child oriented. We waited at least 15 minutes to be seen, as we went through the appointment it was clear that staff wasn't entirely ready. Certain materials took longer to find such as the audiology exam machine, it took a while to get the vaccines ready, and it seemed as if the eye exam was something new to the person helping us. All in all, from the time we started our appointment to the time we left was two hours! With nothing to help children to be comfortable, relaxed, feel safe in this environment. I have since learned that you guys are not part of the children's clinic, which is clear now, but very confusing. I would much prefer to be In a clinic that works directly with children and provides an environment of courtesy and friendliness and warmth to help the experience. Not to mention more timeliness. Again, Dr. Lowdermilk was great but the whole experience itself was not.

This was my initial visit to this provider and facility.

Have to wait way too long to get an appointment. Also, if an emergency to talk to doctor you have to leave message.

Good experience with provider
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
She actually listened and asked appropriate questions, she did not seem rushed and took time to explain things I had required about..she also volunteered to check on insurance coverage for what she discussed.my insurance was not accepted for one procedure with one place so her staff found me mother provider who did
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
I enjoyed my time with the doctor. She took the time to discuss all my questions and was friendly and logical. I was surprised how limited the physical checks were. I am used to a physical being a thorough exam. Maybe that has changed due to covid.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
I have a very unique name. I always love it when the receptionist takes the time to write down how you pronounce my name so the MA can pronounce it correctly and so can the doctor. My name is important to me and this extra effort makes me feel welcomed in a space, especially one that I am anxious about. I would also include pronouns to be come inclusive
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Very personable and professional, gave me pros and cons to my health care options I was coming in for, took care when I mentioned I would be without health insurance and made sure I was set up for success, took care when I mentioned previous discomfort with medicine suggested to me in the past, good listener, funny, honest, lovely
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
I usually like seeing my provider she just seemed really invested in her own worries and bot really cared or put any info about mine .I did tell her I was having trouble sleeping all she recommended was tylenol pm which I told her I had tried in the past and has not worked and she didnt give me a soultion for ut. I was actually really disappointed this time with my meeting with her.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Even though I live quite far (a 2-hour drive)... I prefer this medical clinic over others I have been to in the past. My only issue would be is that my medical records from years ago from a different practice wasn't transferred to Legacy. I will be updating my doctor at my next visit with the past medical file I have kept.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
I saw Dr. Laudermilk for the first time [date removed] She is a dedicated physician and I plan to have her as my PCP for a long time.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Takes too long to get records from previous doctor into your system.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
I felt this provider presented the recommendations respectfully, listened to my concerns and was very respectful when I chose options that were NOT what she recommended. I was never pushed or made to feel less valid because I chose to refuse an invasive procedure due to concerns about risks associated with that procedure.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Dr. Lowdermilk is very good. I have only been her patient for 1 yr. so have not had to see her often (luckily) because my health is generally good. But she is always respectful, attentive and helpful.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
She listened to me and made me feel very comfortable. She was extremely nice and I look forward to seeing her again. I felt like I was in great hands.

Dr. Lowdermilk was not only extremely thorough with her research into my medical history but she took my health every seriously and referred me to a mental health specialist. She is diligent and treated me with a lot of respect and kindness. The also very kind receptionists helped me make an appt for the following monday. Hands down best experience ever with medical providers Thank you.

This provider is amazing! She is easygoing, efficient, but also caring and funny! My teen daughter also went to see her, and she had the same impression about the Dr. That I have. Honestly, she is the best provider I ever had. And, honestly, I have been happy with my other providers. But she definitely stands out. Thank you for having such an amazing kind doctor.

New pt appt. Dr Lowdermilk put me at ease immediately and was very methodical about documenting all health issues as new pt. Because there was a lot, she scheduled visits every 3 mos for awhile to get to know me and all my health issues and make appropriate referrals.

My long time primary care doctor is retiring. Thank you to Dr. Lowdermilk for accepting me as a new patient. She is still waiting for my medical records to be sent to her, but the information that she had available, she thoroughly discussed with me about my health and past care. She totally listens and seems very knowledgeable, caring, and kind.

Dr Lowdermilk was great! I have white coat phobia due to previous treatment @ OHSU I was reluctant to go to the doctor. I feel very confident going to Legacy providers because of her.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
This was my first appointment with the Doctor and Legacy Medical Group. Most of time was spent discussing my medical history and my families medical history. Dr Lowdermilk seemed medically knowledgeable about my past ailments and agreed to do a physical after blood work is completed. Spent enough time to complete all that I expected.

First visit with Legacy and this provider. Very favorably impressed all around.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
My very first visit with this being my new doctor I thought would be a get to know each other but took less than 5mins and NO q's such as any questions such as anything concerning you, any health issues, etc. In my most recent visit and my second time seeing her I thought maybe I would get a diabetes foot exam since I didn't receive one my first visit but didn't. Seemed she just wanted me to move on. She was a little bit more inquisitive since I did complain about the shortness of our first introductory visit.

I am a brand new patient and this was my first visit t Legacy Med.Group.. So I was. Getting to know Dr Lowdermilk....I forgot to tell her that I have PAD and take Tumeric/Curcumin twice daily with Magnesium for it. I don't like medications and won't take them, except Atorvastatin 20mg daily as I inherited high cholesterol from my Father (I'm missing the biological enzyme that turns everything I eat into good cholesterol..it goes straight to bad! I watch my diet very carefully so that I can keep my cholesterol well below 200. No butter, cream, fats, sugar, red meat, cheese or anything that has high cholesterol..and I'm a label reader!!

Not stellar, not awful. Attentive, but less organized than I'd prefer for a wellness exam - easy to forgot things (colon test for example).

We had the most amazing first appointment with Dr. Lowdermilk. She listened and was kind and engaging. She made my mom very comfortable. Now due to hearing loss and short term memory lose she doesn't remember what we covered in the appointment. I will need to send her daily emails to remind her of the topics already covered. Let her know physical therapy and a nurse will be coming to her place. Why she can't have a cortisone shot. Plus that Dr. Lowdermilk is looking into seeing if she should have the Covid vaccine.
