The health providers are all very helpful. And, I felt very comfortable during my visit.

Doctor requested nurse to schedule lab and order Rx. Nurse did not follow up with me, so I had to contact Dr for next steps. Dr is very responsive. At Salmon Creek Apothecary, instructions for Rx needed clarification from provider's office. I had to text provider directly to get pharmacy clarification - which happened immediately, but I'm not sure why the clarification wasn't handled without my intervention.

It was distressing that you cannot accept my Columbia Credit Union card for billing transactions. Columbia Credit Union is a well establushed established financial institution in Vancouver. I have been a member since 1975. This situation needs to be resolved ASAP.

Listens, pays attention, provides information, separates out of opinions from Facts, provides everything needed for patient to make decisions and become part of treatment team. Very, very good doctor!

Dr. Dong is excellent. She was very thorough, answered all my queries and showed compassion for my concerns. I appreciate the tests she ordered so we could have a definitive diagnosis. I see her again soon to address another issue my PCP is concerned about.

After transitioning from one Blood Doctor to Another... First mistake by previous blood doctor stating, I had COVID, Couldn't come for my appointment. I DID NOT have Covid. Change in Doctors, set an appointment months in advance for the beginning of March, week or so prior I received a call from the Office (Man), telling me I had to change my appointment. The next available appointment was almost 2 months out. He was rude, bully trying to MAKE me give up my appointment for "Cancer Patients". I don't know what happened in the office but it was not my responsibility to make room for more patients. I was not feeling well also and had no answers... Doctor was great, that phone call was more than RUDE!

Could not talk to a human to make appointment. Played phone tag for 3 weeks before I could make contact. Worst rating ever for ease of making appointments.

Dr. Mei Dong was extremely attentive and made clear what was happening with my situation. I left her office upbeat and encouraged with how to handle it. However, I don't think she had viewed my MRI or CT scans (maybe didn't have them?) because her drawing/description didn't fully match the situation. In other words, the cancer of my kidney was considerably larger than what she drew on the board. Had she known that, I feel she would or should have drawn a more accurate diagram. She left me feeling very optomistic, and I still am even after seeing the Uroligist the following day and finding out the whole kidney needs to be taken out verus simple removal of the cancerous area. I am still very pleased with Dr. Dong. Thank you.

Everybody was wonderfull

Dr. Was knowledgeable and I formative
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Dr. Dong was maybe the worst doctor I've ever seen. She was late to the appointment, even though when I was taken into the room, her nurse said she was ready. She then proceeded to make me feel like I was worried about nothing, and ignored questions about concerns I was having. She was dismissive, rushed, and still has not called to explain my test results, even though I've seen them in mychart. I felt completely invalidated and left in tears. I will not be back to this provider.

She doesn't like to be interrupted during presentation with questions for clarification. Seamed to have a script that she didn't want to deviate from.

Dr. Dong is really growing on me, she really knows her stuff....and the cancer clinic in 360 is BETTER THAN EXCELLENT, A REAL SUPER TEAM. REALLY GREAT GROUP OF PEOPLE. I have often said that someone should do a documentary of how a successful work team really does a great job. And feel free to let them know these thoughts have been pushed up the ladder.

Dr. Dong has been a very caring and knowledgeable provider for my kidney cancer health care.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Feel like the dr simply wanted to refer me to primary and wasted my time. I contacted her with a message thru the app asking a question. She didn't really listen to what my issue really was about bordered follow up blood test and ultrasound and then didn't care about what I was actually there for. We did rule int that my blood clot is gone but she didn't really care why I was there checking to make sure it was gone which was anew issue that had come up. Glad it's not related but she didn't really want to do anything else except refer me to primary. Waste of time to come in to the office. She listened to my heat that's it.

Dr Dong is highly educated. She has a lot of knowledge. She acted as if we couldn't possibly understand anything about a DVT. She talked down to us. It was an unpleasant experience.
