I finished my checkup and went back out to wait to be called for my blood draw. After 15 minutes I asked the front desk had they forgot about me; they said I had to go to the hospital. I found out later that I had to make an online appointment. Someone should have told me about the change in policy, I wasted valuable time off from work

I appreciate his willingness to respect my personal choice about the COVID vaccine. We don't agree on it but he is respectful about it. This is a big deal to me.

Wasn't sure when the ordering of the blood work was done. It was on order and I went on [date removed] to get the blood work done. It was forwarded to me on the internet and Dr. K then sent word through the process the results to the testing. It was done in a short time period. Very nice job on the lab and with Dr. K.

As we talked about SOB & physical conditioning, it would have been appropriate to examine me, which was not done.

Good experience - I appreciate Dr. Krishnasamy's respect for my position on the Covid vaccines ( I'm under care of a Oncologist at OHSU ) - even though my position does not aline with his - its very important that my position is respected by him and it was

I felt rushed through the appointment and not heard by the assistant. I had a previous experience where the blood pressure device was leaking and noted that there could be a problem with my reading this time too. She simply hurried on.

Wait times were less than usual - an improvement from normal.

Dr Krishnasamy is an excellent doctor, but each of the last three appointments I've have with him have needed to be rescheduled due to him needing to attend meetings or oversee other responsibilities he has. He is often delayed (I'm sure with good reasons) when it's time for my appointments. My last visit with him was a good one.

30 minutes before seen in shaming 30 minutes before being seen and then told my time was up. Felt bad I couldn't complete what I wanted. Had an issue with my finger. Told me get a splint. Had to ask if over the counter and just if you can't bend come back in two weeks but I was out of time. I have this rash and wasn't able to go over that because I forgot because I was rush when he was late. I have always been a quick and easy going person but this time I had some question so maybe he seen me late because I am usually pretty fast. Did also go out to another patient quickly but still I had waited 30 minutes and the got rushed to leave.
Very effective physician we accomplish and cover alot of ground in a very short time.
