Reviews of Providence Portland Medical Center (Hospital)

Lisa Eggers Padillas

I have to say I've never met so many kind, helpful and genuinely compassionate people all in the same facility. From two visits to the ER to being transferred for a short stay this was surprisingly a very nice experience despite the stress of an alarming condition. I can honestly say of ALL the Drs, nurses, staff and many more I only met 2 people who were less than warm and kind. Everyone took the time to listen when there were questions, communicate as best as possible, be as open, honest and transparent as possible. I was very surprised and surpassed every expectation and previous experience at other hospitals. This is farther for me, but I will take the drive to come here because of the genuine standard of excellence that this hospital works to maintain throughout all their departments. I even want to go back to thank everyone that's been involved in the care. I don't enjoy the hospital, but I would definitely recommend coming here if you have to. They have taken an unpleasant situation and worked diligently, kindly and efficiently to get everything repaired and back on track.

This is my most childhood hospital here!! With The Montgomery KONE Vector Traction Elevators which used to be Westinghouse and I know what the fixtures look like!! LOL!! XD They're DEFINITELY from the 60' judging by the Vintage logo. The service elevators got modded with Innovation Universal Fixtures but they got modded again with Otis with Series M2 fixtures!! AWESOME MOD!!!! I was born here BTW back in 2003!! Almost 14!years ago!!

The care provided for me was overdone so I could be charged more. I went in because of some pain and got thrown onto a gurney and a patient suit absent my clothes. Only one test was performed that essentially boiled down to this: I was completely fine. I then received a bill in the mail a few weeks later that was asking me to pay 500$. What?! Are you kidding me? From the results of the ONE test that was done, nothing was wrong with me. I didn't even stay at the hospital for more than a couple hours. Oh, and get this. I was charged 10 dollars for one little Ibuprofen pill. Thanks. F**k this hospital. F**k you money grubbing doctors that get away with taking advantage of the sick. This is why American healthcare SUCKS. NEVER GO HERE UNLESS YOU'RE DYING. IT'S A WASTE OF MONEY.

This is not Rafa Greenwood. This is his friend Paula Sundwall, but I don't use Google so I"m writing my review from his acct which is fine with him because he's just as angry as I am about the experience we had at the Providence ER yesterday. After being bed-ridden for a good part of 13 days with no way to even get to the hospital,. my bf called 911 after I passed out twice in my bedroom simply trying to walk from point A to point B. I told the ambulance drivers of my flu symptoms, while vomiting but when I arrived at the ER a nurse said my pupils were pinpoint and from there on they proceeded to pump me full of 3 bags of solution to get me to pee so they could, without my knowledge as to why, do a UA to prove that I didn't have the flu but was going through withdrawals, They did not check my nodes, my throat my ears, my temperature, nothing. It was a witchhunt from the get go....and even were I a drug addict, is it not wrong to NOT treat my illness AT ALL because of it??? Dr. Todd Guerrett Buerk is an inhumane creep. And here comes day 15 in bed, in pain, and dehydrated again already...

Jay Courtney-Leocadio

We have been sitting in the ER for over three hours now and they still haven’t seen my wife or done anything other than check vitals. She’s here for chest pain. This doesn’t seem like an appropriate wait time at a first rate hospital in a first world country. Maybe we’ll go to Adventist next time.

Jim Mersky

My girlfriend was on floor 5G and she had a horrible experience. The nurse decided to take it upon herself to get a different doctor changed her pain medicine. My girlfriend cannot take pills with opiates without throwing up. Who the hell does she think she is? Horrible place for sick people.

Kenneth mckozy

good care

Denise Reinhart

I had a very positive experience at Providence. I spent two months there and went thru two surgeries. I also had 40 treatments in their hyperbaric chamber to enhance wound healing. I can't say enough about the care I received, from the doctors to the nursing assistants, and from the RNs to the physical therapists and techs. All were professional and helped me stay positive with their upbeat outlooks. I was blessed to be treated there!

Matthew Coy

Rude, incompetent, and more likely to make customers than cures.

Caleb Palmer

$400 for a 20min visit. Didn't get any prescriptions, didn't get any solutions.

Sandie Richmond

An amazing staff and great doctors. Were very caring while i was going through my miscarriage.

jesse shadiow

My girlfriend just spent 31days in the hospital due to congestive heart failure she was treated great had an excellent staff "Nurse's, Doctors" we love this place they are always doing everything possible within the best interest for Her! I would highly recommend this place if you need any kind of emergency medical care!!!! Thanks providence!!!!

Sophia Xavier

Here and they are jerks...disrespectful.... We are here today Jaime Love is being seen for her back pain, and the nurse is very rude. NO manners to save his life. Just because we are HOMELESS. They treat us like we are worthless people.... They kick us out when the MAX is not running in the rain or snow. They help those who have a place to live....non-homeless better than anyone else.

Alice Palmeri

We’ve had mostly negative experiences with Providence. Mostly due to their doctors lack of bedside manors, or just plain rude”ness. From a doctor actually laughing at my child to making inappropriate remarks during an exam, we’re done with them unless we need lab tests.

Carrie Sylvester

July2018- I delivered twins, for a surrogacy, by csection, because baby A was breech. Nurses were fabulous and very attentive. The doctors doing rounds were brief and not familiar with the details of my case (it was twins, they weren’t mine). One of the doctors was overly physical with me and I stopped her twice from manhandling me, not ok!! The food was low quality and disappointing. The discharge was timely but very lacking in information. Overall the did a good job on the csection but kinda dropped the ball on the rest. Good thing this wasn’t my first delivery.

Lahaina Rodrigues

I only rated 1 star for the rude ass receptionist that answered the phone! Great hospital other than that. :D

kim murphy

They r the best

Alex Beats Cancer

So I have had to go to many hospitals in my life and this one is by far the best hospital I have ever stayed at. Everyone that I have come across and that helped me here has made my recovery as pleasant as it could have been. They have assembled an AMAZING team here. Even though no one wants to have to go to the hospital, if you do then this is the hospital to go to. The E.R. was quick at taking me in. The technology and knowledge of the staff it on the cutting edge. They have the resources, facilities, and partnerships to be able to help you in a way that is efficient, trustworthy, and honestly at times impressive. The nurses are empowered to be able to help you more then anywhere else i've been. That empowerment and trust that the hospital has given the nursing staff can be seen in their spirit and in how well you are treated. I live about 1.5 hours away from this hospital and there are several big hospitals closer, but none are as good as this one. TLDNR: If you need to go to a hospital for any reason, this is the one I would choose.

Nikki Matthews

I'm really disappointed with the patient care at Providence. I went in for a physical and blood work this week. I received an email through the Providence website with all the results. No explanation, no call, just results. Isn't there any one-on-one care here? It's very frustrating! Take care of your patients!!!!

Shelley Fox-Loken

worst doctors office i've dealt with in decades. rude staff, patronizing doctor, and mistake after mistake after mistake. just glad i didn't need them for anything important while they were my "primary" care folks. i would NEVER go to this clinic again, no matter how desperate I was. You are better off getting your routine care at the ER.

John Martin

Cafeteria is good but my wife died due to malpractice. Truly a mixed bag.

Mallory Dittmer

Delivered my son here. It was amazing!

Ruthie Frederickson

Filthy. And the nurse/clarical worker Ashley was extremely un proffessional and rude. Don't waist you money or time. Legacy is WAY cleaner and better care. Been going to Legacy since I was born and seeing providence was a disapointment.

Jason Johnson

There is an outrageous co-pay then the lady that took us back couldn't spell. She asked to spell puppy. While the first lady was in the room someone else just walked in on us. After the doctor seen us a third person asked (for the third time) what happened. All in all I would go to adventist medical center

Aaron Kelly

Excellent. My only gripe with them is that they gave me a CT scan that was not technically completely necessary when I went to the emergency room, then charged me personally for the reading of the scan, which my insurance would not pay for.

Melinda Doominguez

These people are ANGELS.....bless them for their career choices....I couldn't do it...

Allen Metcalfe

If you care about your loved ones please take them elsewhere. From my experience The providence health system is amongst the worst in Portland. I brought my wife there in March for a upper GI and during the visit I pointed out to the doctor that my wife was extremely ill. He told a nurse that I was over-exaggerating and she would be okay. A week later I brought my wife to OHSU and she’s been in ICU ever since fighting for her life. On top of that the area where she had fluid drained developed MRSA. I will never ever go to this hospital again. Please heed my warning.

JIM NELL

Great Dr's and principals. Dr Godwin a hematologis gave me a bone marrow test. His method was perfect with no pain at all. Much better than the first test that was given to me in Roseburg Oregon by an oncologist.

Dima Litvin

Horrible

Doors of Perception

Speaking in regard to the Providence Clinic across street. Visited several times only because I didn't want to see another doctor again. Lousy doctor, worst experience in 40 years of chronic illness. Mistakes at every turn, some of them big. Offsite lab, you have to go elsewhere to have blood drawn. This place sucks.

Joni Coffman-Fisher

October 2017 - Doctors in the emergency department quickly diagnosed my husband and scheduled him for surgery the next morning, saving his life. Thank you, Providence Portland for your prompt actions and for treating both my husband and myself with respect and compassion. Thank you for allowing me to stay by my husbands side while he recovered. And thank you for the professional behavior of your nurses and physicians. Other hospitals in the area could learn a great deal from you.

Mike K

I've been here for three days with my dad. Nurses here are the best your family could ask for and the doctors have been very informative and reassuring.

Jacob Amelotte

As far as hospitals at 4 am with a broken wrist go, this hospital treated me well. As in most situations, as long as you are as polite and patient as possible, you will have the best experience possible. Expeditious, efficient and professional

Manar

Long waits at the ER, more than two hours

Lindzey Ramos

So far they seem to be taking great care of my family member in ICU... however I will say the waiting room and lobby attached to ICU is by far the nastiest and dirtiest space I’ve seen in a public building let alone a hospital in years. Stained seats/couches, dirty carpet, loads of bedding/garbage in the waiting area, and disgusting restrooms. We had so stay here over night and could hardly relax because we were afraid to touch anything but the walls.

A Google Reviewer

DO NOT GO HERE! Wow I read the negative reviews and I was hoping they weren't true but they are rude and unprofessional here. They treat you like just another item in line at the checkout. If you value your family and friends dont go here. I also heard them laughing and whispering about racial jokes. So unprofessional!

Virginia Rich

Professional & compassionate care - remarkably excellent. I was in Portland recently for a conference and ended up in the ER with what I thought might be appendicitis. Being sick while traveling stinks, but I felt *incredibly* well taken care of by this hospital. I was taken back into the ER within 15" of walking in, and nearly cried when the desk nurse said, "I'm sorry you feel so badly. We're glad you came in. We're going to take care of you." I mean, have you ever had that sort of compassionate, kind reception at an ER?!? Dr. Trueworthy (I kid you not, that that was his name!) back in the ER was similarly kind, but also astute and a very clear communicator. I'm not an MD but I am a scientist, and he was able to clearly and compellingly answer my detailed Qs about what he thought might be wrong, and why, and what they were going to do about it. I ended up being admitted to a room on the surgical floor, where they spent the following 3 days seeing if my issue (an inflamed colon that had obstructed - super painful and sucky - never had anything like it before) would resolve with IV fluids and walking, or would need surgery. The entire team there, from Drs. Yu, Zink and others, to nurses Ginny, Raquel and colleagues, to even the meal people (once i finally could take clear fluids again), were just *exceptionally* professional, courteous, and very clear at communicating. I've been fighting cancer for the last year so have spent a lot of time with medical staff, at a nationally respected facility, and yet the care I received at Providence Portland was even better than I receive at my home institution. One example: I was supposed to either be walking or sleeping, to try to resolve my blockage without surgery. Walking on the hospital floor gets boring. So they let me go outside and walk on the sidewalk to get some sun and fresh air, when I wasn't hooked up to anything. This made such a *huge* difference in my experience, to be able to get fresh air, sun, and be under the trees through some of the hours of walking. In addition, at night they gave me some gentle sleeping medication to help me sleep despite the pain *and* they were incredibly organized about minimizing disturbances through the night. (In stark contrast to the few other times I've had to overnight at the hospital). While I hope I don't get sick in Portland again, if I do, I know exactly where I'll come. These people were amazing.

Chris Pucci

As pleasant as going to the hospital can be.

Marty D

just spent a couple of hours in the ER with a friend this week. everyone here was friendly. the receptionist proactively looked out for me. registration was painless. the doc was easygoing & still human. nurses were competent, warm and worked great as a team. they assumed I was his partner and were respectful & welcoming I have worked in hospitals and spent more than my share of time in them and am generally pretty cynical coz of that. I didn't have a single untoward experience which is very rare in an ER under our current healthcare system. i was spectacularly impressed. thanks to everybody particularly Kyle & Michelle.

TheKmswager

Because I work there.

Calvin Lotz

Tremendous experience. Great people, great care. Highly recommended.

Waxn Njoy

Providence hospitals are possibly the worst place you could go for medical treatment. All they care about is money, and once youre in the door they get paid, so they dont actually care about treating you. They will admit you, then summon their rent a cops to physically force you out of the building at gunpoint while saying "you dont have to leave, if you leave you are refusing care", then bill you for the experience of having your life threatened in something thats supposed to be a place of healing.

Elizabeth Wilson

They have taken good care of both family and friends

Lorin Hillis

Very impressed with the quality of this ER and it's staff.

Abby Sweet

I went to the ER on Monday night at 9pm. I had four blood lab tests done and by 1230am I was leaving. I've had symptoms for three months and I just wanted them to a blood test for severe itching and rash. By Friday morning I was still waiting so I called the lab and they said they results were in and to call me Dr for the outcome. I asked if PC or ER Dr and she said either. Called my PC and they hadn't received them. So I called the ER back, mentioned blood work and they sent me to imaging, then I was sent to patient records who told me they couldn't tell me over the phone without a signed physical release. So I WENT in, then they told me I could have just asked for it to be uploaded to the online portal while I was on the phone earlier! Then she uploaded it but I wasn't seeing it. So I went back down and had them print it off. Now I have the results but I don't know how to interpret them. And of course the Records clerk doesn't know how either. So I go back downtown the ER. She calls an LPN. He takes them back to the RN, who calls me into a room to explain the Non-reactive result is negative(which is good). I HAD TO TALK TO 8 DIFFERENT STAFF MEMBERS JUST TO GET THE NEGATIVE RESULTS OF A BLOOD TEST. I feel that's a bit excessive. I hope to never have to go back here again. ER staff was at least friendly and helpful when I encountered them.

Tracy Lopez

I have been suffering for years in agonizing pain, then I was referred here and it has been the best experience I have ever had in a hospital! Not only do the nurses care but it is made very evident that the doctors also cared for my well being instead of making me feel like I was just another paycheck in their pocket. I really wish we had a providence hospital where we live, the incredible care could almost make a person move just to know the providers care for their patients.

Anita Patten

My mother was here for brain surgery. They told her weeks ago that she would stay the night in the ICU. Last minute they call and tell her to be here an hour earlier than scheduled. When we arrived we waited 2 hours for her original time for pre OP CT. Surgery started a half hour late and when completed there was no bed for her anywhere in the hospital!. She stayed in recovery for hours waiting for a room. No ICU bed, no med surg, no neuro bed! What should have been a 4-6 hour day in surgery turned into more than 10 hours!. As a matter of fact we are still waiting in short stay waiting room! We were the first ones here and the last to leave!

*STOLEN RING AFTER THIS HOSPITAL WENT AGAINST PROTOCOL AND REMOVED MY GRANDMOTHER'S WEDDING RING FROM HER DECEASED BODY. On Saturday April 27th, 2019, my Grandmother passed away at Providence Portland Medical Center located on NE Glisan st. Over the next few days following her passing, as family members returned to our homes with grief heavy in our hearts and anticipation for what our next steps may be--my father received a phone call from from the funeral home notifying him that his mother’s wedding ring is missing and not with the body. My grandfather was told by the hospital that the ring will be sent with his wife when the funeral home picks her up. When we contacted the hospital, we were told that the ring is, in fact, in their care. However, were we wrong about their idea of what “care” truly means… After meeting with the supervisor for the information that they weren’t giving my father, I was informed that this mess in indeed their fault. I was told an investigation is in progress, they have found the nurse who in the supervisor’s words, “went against protocol and removed the ring from the deceased body.” From there, it was never put securely in their safe. This process has been going on now for two weeks, and my grandmother is officially in the ground without her wedding ring. Every time we reach Providence Portland Medical Center, we are told about meetings being put into place about protocols and procedures, but nothing about where my grandmother’s ring is at or where they are at in an investigation. When asked about what legal actions that we as the family may take due to their negligence, she simply told me that she didn’t know. I wonder how--without proper education and knowledge on protocols, procedures, as well as not having knowledge of the negative repercussions that the hospital could face when not following these procedures correctly-- how ARE they truly ensuring the safety of family belongings to prevent these sort of things from happening?! The most “help” that I received from this Supervisor was direction on how to contact their Customer Care Team and/or Security to file a “lost item report.” I am sorry, but our family is grieving and this is a mess that YOUR team created, the least they could do is report the STOLEN item themselves. This ring never left my grandmother’s finger over my grandparents’ 64 years of marriage. My grandmother was 16, grandfather 17, when they met as Grandpa was in Basic Training. He took her to the movies for her 16th birthday, and they attended a fair together where he won this ring and married her. Through their 64 years of marriage, this ring followed them through both their happy and bitter times, as well as raise 5 kids whom they adopted together. It breaks my heart in a million pieces that Grandpa not only had to bury his wife, but do so without the ring that so happily bonded them together over all of their years. A police report has been filed and we are in the process of taking legal action. I share this story in hopes that it not only puts pressure on the hospital for their negligence, but it also reaches a family before they make the same mistake of trusting this hospital as my family did. No grieving family should ever have to deal with this mess.

Blake Hadrick

Came in because I have health anxiety and thought everything could be wrong with me. The staff didn't treat me like I was crazy, they were very compassionate and understanding. They ran every test they could just to put my mind at ease without even raising an eyebrow at it. They were absolutely amazing and I would send any of my loved ones here for any kind of care. Absolutely perfect.

Pam Allee

I've just heard about a homeless cancer patient, who has been discharged with instruction to rest for thirty days after having one kidney removed. This person has no place to go, much less to rest all day after his surgery, or shower whenever he wants. Glad to know that Providence, which used to be sponsored by Sisters of Providence, has the money for naming rights at a Portland sports venue, but cannot give a safe space to an indigent person! I used to work at a Sisters of Providence hospital in Spokane, and I do not think anything like this would have been allowed there at that time - either putting their name on a sports arena or kicking out an indigent post-surgery patient. Boo!

Tim Aguirre

This place is great if you can get all your doctors in one place! The parking is a nightmare sometimes, but totally convenient when it needs to be.

Kristina Bellah

I just want to give a huge shout out to the nurse's on 8th south! My Mom was a patient there for 75 days and a lot to handle but the nurse's took care of her like one of there own! I appreciate all they did for my mom while she was there. Thank you! You guys rock! Kristina

Jeff Behn

Absolutely outstanding care and facility. Top notch staff. They're great with patients and family members alike. They know the questions we're going to ask before we ask them. Have family that have visited several times and have received excellent care each time.

Kathleen Hoang

I was here for the rehab unit. The nurses there were nice and was very attentive to answer any questions that I may have. They were very accommodating. Provided a roll out bed and allow you to use the shower also.

John Smith

Providence Health & Services is a billing agency that 'lost $600 i paid them. They admit they have the money but can't credit my account until they find the money they lost. Lousy billing agency beware.

Asia Von Sonn

After having difficulties with their online billing system I spent almost an hour on hold (43 minutes) only for the call to be dropped before I could talk to someone and pay my first months premium. Spent 30 minutes on the phone the second time before giving up. I work 6 days a week and literally CANNOT spend that long attempting to pay a bill. Listening to "we care about your time as much as we care about your health" for over an hour on repeat was incredibly disheartening... I certainly hope that isn't the case.

John Wayne Brannon

Don't like black people

Joni Elizabeth Fisher

My experiences at Providence Portland have varied from the "Good" to the "Am I being punked? Where's the camera?" On my most recent visit I was taken in quickly (less than 15 minutes for a leg injury). And seen by a doctor within the hour. The entire visit was around 2 hours; including x-ray and walking cast. Prior Emergency Department visits have been up to 6 hours-and that goes for any of the area hospitals. Staff was friendly and mostly professional, with the exception of 2 male nurses whom kept calling each other "Brah" and referencing drinking and illicit drug use. Overall, not a bad place.

Josh Bair

Awesome caring kind wonderfull doctors and staff saved my life treated me with respect and kept me pretty well fed with actually pretty good food can't stress my gratitude enough best hospital I've ever had to stay at

B Frankz33

(This is to the Oregon Clinic Office at the Hosp).One of the times i called Mark whitefords office of Oregon clinic, the advise nurse named Trisha answered which i have talked to before. She ended up telling me they cant seem to figure out why I'm having the post op. pains and that "I have a low pain tolerance" i was pretty much in shock that a nurse could tell a patient in pain that they have a “low pain tolerance”. Thats just calling me a wuss in a nicer way, from a nurse! Pain is subjective and something most nurses know. I was pretty hurt and angry by the whole thing so i call them back to speak to a charge nurse, which they don't have so i spoke to the "supervisor". She understood that she should not have said it but then comes to tell me its a term they use sometimes, at this point i was in a awe. My brother is a MD and my mom is a nurse at legacy and both said it is totally unacceptable and if it happened at Legacy or OHSU Trisha would be fired no questions asked. I almost went to the board of nursing because i was hurt still but trying to just put it behind me and at least get the word out there that there is bad and hurtful nurses still! What worries me is if she said this to me, what has she said to other innocent patients in pain? You don't tell someone that goes through the hell of severe UC and 4 surgeries that that they have a low pain tolerance no matter who you are, And frankly anyone that knows the hell i have been through the past years would never even think of such a thing. On a positive note, Thanks to Dr. Chang for getting me in to see Whiteford so quick.

BRIAN COX

Brought my sister to the emergency room,as we have done in the past.The emergency room nurse was awesome and the staff and doctors were fine. They finally admitted her for a toe and calf infection.However,they had no room in the diabitic wing for her so they put her on the 4th floor.She has had 8 surgeries,so this isn't her first rodeo. After being there for over 6 hours,we decided to go to cafeteria to get something to eat and call it a night.We got clam chowder, salads,and baked potatoes. The chowder was thick and full of potatoes and clams. It needed spices and tasted weak in favor.The salads were fine,the baked potatoes were over cooked and dry.The cafeteria looked clean,as did the dinning room.My sister called us in the morning to pick her up,she was discharging her selfself..The reason bad care.This isn't the first time this has happened,when she hasn't been in the diabitic wing.When the patent nows more about her blood sugars than the nurses,that's a problem.

XiaoPei Chen

Nice experience, professional, responsible and nice.

Megan Harrison

Very clean.

Lupe Von Slomski

Nice place

Jennifer A.

I have reg issues with clotting/dvt symptoms. Anytime I have to get care here I am always impressed with how friendly the staff are. I have been here mult times now and never experienced an issue with them. I feel so safe when I am under their care. In fact I think come open enrollment we are going to change care providers. The ER staff is so friendly and I don't get treated like a freak here people see me as a human being and that just means the world to me!!

Jimmy Tran

Good service and professional doctors!

Steven Ruttenbur

I have nothing but nice things to say about everyone who participated in my care. Of course their were a few who were not so nice but why let one or two rotten apples spoil the whole bunch. I felt as if the Dr. who seen me treated me the same as he would have his own family. Thank you for your kindness Dr. If I ever need to come back and be seen in an emergency Providence will be my first choice, and wouldn't hesitate recommending to friends and family.

Michele Willert

Was admitted for a few days with a bad kidney infection. Was told I was being kept to make sure it didn't turn to sepsis but sepsis was listed as diagnosis at discharge

Sukari Shawnay

Nurse Benett is a heck of a nurse

Benjamin Pelletier

This is by far the worst ER in the city

I had an excellent experience in the ED several days ago after an accident. Staff were nice and luckily I was able to get in and out within a few hours. In reading some of the other reviews, having worked in the hospital setting in the past, I can say that unfortunately emergency departments are expensive and there can be long wait times. EDs have to be fully prepped with staff and a multitude of high end equipment to meet the needs of many different types of illness/injuries that can present. This results in higher costs that get passed down to patients. Bottom line unless you are in a serious emergency that cannot be dealt with at an urgent care or your PCP office don’t go to the ED. You will wait if the ED is busy and you are there for a non-emergent illness/injury. Triage nurses jobs are to assess the severity of patients based on a uniform system (called Emergency Severity Index) which is an algorithm created to rank patients on a 1-5 scale based on several factors- it is not just someone randomly picking who goes next. Even if another patient seems like they are “ok”, they may be showing serious symptoms that one may not be able to discern from the outside. I will agree with several that billing departments at many hospitals can be frustrating to deal with. I have heard of quite a few cases of errors in billing… be sure to check your bill and call billing if something seems off. They often will work with you.

Mary Kate Fellows Russell

The one star is for the kind nurses at this place. The facility itself is awful. I was in a recovery overnight that was so small that the the nurse had to move the table to take vitals. There also wasn’t a shower and there were pipes overhead that kept me up all night. The food delivery took several hours and the time to get a prescription from the in-house place took forever. Oh and the parking is inadequate for visitors. It took my husband twenty minutes circling to find a place.

Paul S

My boyfriend and I had been sitting for hours waiting for him to get stitches...we heard more gossip than people walking to help the patients here. Apparently the staff is in the wrong profession. Let alone it being an ER.

nichole lovessoy

My mother in law was very ill and they did everything they could for her. She was just too weak. It was best that she receive end of life care. The staff did everything possible to make her comfortable and they really cared for her. A woman with a harp came in and played for her and our family until she took her last breath. It was absolutely beautiful. My family and I are extremely grateful for everything. Thank you nurses, doctors and all the other staff that came to see her and our family during the difficult time.

Joseph Dahlke

I only wish I could give providence hospital 100 stars. The RN's and the CNA's are the greatest humans who walk the planet!!!!!! Carring, compassionate, knowledgeable,dedicated, the list is endless Providence Portland is one of,if not the best hospital in the world. All the way from the staff in the ER to the staff in the kitchen. The volunteers are very friendly as well. I'm sure the negative reviews are from people who think their poop doesn't stink.I wouldn't go to any other hospital even if the treatment were free.I want to get well and they make it happen. The doctors are awesome as well. Also, the PT's. & the OT's in the P.A.R.C. on 4K are AWESOME!!!!. What they do to help people is nothing short of a miracle...The care was so good, I felt as if I were the only patient in the hospital...

Kahli Alspaugh

Extremely rude behavior by the staff answering calls.

Harrison James

This Hospital shouldn't even have the name attached....Should be called the house of racist....I've never in my life been treated as poorly as this SCAB of a misrepresentation associated with the common name (Hospital)..These sorry excuses for medical professionals (undeserving of the name)..had the audacity to try and criminalize me after bring my wife in from having fainting spells..They kept asking her if she feared for her life...I was trying to explain to them what has been happening...They acted as if I wasn't even there...My wife( Who is white) even told them to talk to me...They continued to ignore the fact I was even there until I had to finally say...Hey I'm Right here???!!.. They then swarmed the room acting as if I was causing a scene...They took it a step further by saying They ask the question because many elderly women are abused.. (insulting my wife who isn't even elderly)...I'm older than she is by 5 years...Didn't stop there..They took her behind closed doors and asked her the same thing again...Then Dr finally comes out and says give us a break...My voice was never threatening or loud...After all the Chaos of trying to figure if they needed to call police on me didn't pan out...They come to the conclusion..."Nothing found"..My wife is still having the passing out spells...She's busted open her head...busted her lip..hurt herself to the point I'm afraid to leave her side...None the less....They made darn sure that the expensive cost associated with doing absolutely nothing was taken care of before they booted us out of their over priced...over killed SCAB of a facility...Only thing this place is good for is "Dressing up expensive lies to cover their lack of ability".. Sad place to call or go to needing help..BTW....My wife had no injury what so ever at this visit...Thanks to them and their "PROFESSIONALISM"...she has sustained several injuries from what they call "NOTHING"... THATS EXACTLY WHAT I THANK THEM FOR...

Professional, Friendly Staff. Stayed there for 13 days as they worked hard to stabilize my condition. They saved my life after Peace Health dropped the ball with my healthcare. Thank you to everyone at Providence!

Horrible emergency room doctors, they practice selective hearing. I said no when the Dr recommended having one of their Mental Health Social Workers come see me while at the emergency room today. She sent the Social Worker anyway and called me a liar basically by saying she heard me say yes to the Social Worker talk. They refused to give me an MRI or a Ultrasound even though the nurse said the Dr could allow the MRI to happen if she felt I needed it. AN MRI OR ULTRASOUND IS THE ONLY WAY TO DETECT THE TYPE OF TRIGEMINAL NEURALGIA HEAD NERVE DAMAGE I NOW CURRENTLY HAVE! THIS HOSPITAL REFUSED TO HELP MY SEVERE HEAD NERVE DAMAGE CONDITIO N OF TRIGEMINAL NEURALGIA SO NOW I'M JUST GOING TO DIE ON STREETS! :( THANKS!

My sister was admitted there 2 weeks ago and they did a amazing job taking care of my sister. Excellent staff and hospital.

DON'T GO TO PROVIDENCE FRACILITIES!!!!!! BAD NEWS IF YOU"VE BEEN IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Providence Health & Services Health Information Management Department (Records Department) and Business Office are ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE. Providence CONSTANTLY sends the wrong records and bills when requested by the Personal Injury Law Office I work for. I also personally see Providence "miss bill/double bill" appointments to the wrong insurance company(ies) ALL THE TIME. In fact, I have seen the Business Office bill MULTIPLE insurance companies ALL AT THE SAME TIME.

Who Ghost There

Little picky in how they work, but they are good and get solid results. Very friendly.

Anthony Ramirez

Wonderful place with people who care for you. Not perfect, but the services are wonderful. Highly reccomend it! :)

Never end up in their emergency room in worn out clothes. You will be treated like dirt. Never end up there after midnight on a weekend. My mom got sick with bad virus with high blood pressure and excruciating of abdominal pain. I did not have time to put my good clothes on, so my questions and my opinions only made them angry. There was a couple of times when I had to straighten out facts that were also known by other staff, but not them. I did this as politely as can be. But they did not like that at all. They gave her countless injections of narcotic pain killer. They were ready to release her within couple of hours. They insisted on her dismissal even though her pain level was at about 8 and she felt like throwing up. She looked terrible. They finally got her on wheelchair and wheeled her out. At this point my sister showed up and saw mom vomiting in the hallway. She chewed them out. Mom ended up hospitalized and the rest of the story was very good. To this day I remember the evil looks of the nurse in the ER. Also when they were wheeling my mom back from some exray procedure. The doctor was sitting in his area with his foot on the table - very professional !!! When he saw us he immediately sat down correctly and pretended he was busy. This was probably around the beginning of 2014. This is not the complete story, but is enough to see the picture.

Bradley Barringer

Scam artists, enough said. A doctor I saw asked me to come in for a follow up appointment, which was pointless and nothing a 2 minute call or email couldn't cover. The medical center charged me a ridiculous copay to see the doctor, then they charged $67.00 to sit in a chair for 2 minutes while I talked to the doctor. They say it's some 'room fee'?? Ya right man, it's a scam. I've paid less for a good nights rest than they charge to sit it a stupid chair.

Kathy Berry

This hospital ER is awesome! From beginning to end I was treated with the utmost respect & professionalism. The entire nursing staff was great along with the respiratory department, x-ray department & Dr. Howton. Not a fan of going to the ER but if the need arises this will be the place that I go.

jody koestler

Kind, professional and no nonsense.

Mike Larson

Superb Care. I came in with a fever and beyond sick, I have never ever been so sick in my life. I came in at a perfect time, no one in the ER, I went back within 20 min. I was so weak I couldn't raise my head or walk. The room made me feel safe, the nurses came in and within 5 min. of seeing me hooked me up to an IV I was dehydrated they ran blood tests, chest Xray, Throat culture, The male Doctor was superb. So kind and caring. I got my juice in me and felt better, and safer. It turned out a virus it lasted 3 weeks, another week of being able to get strength back. Thank you so very much Providence ER you treated me with the utmost respect and care like a hug from your grandmother when your sick. Just what I needed. I will never ever go anywhere else If I have a say in it. YOUR THE BEST!!!!!!

Terrance Carter

Providence has always been good to me and my family

Opel Nibler

Amazing providers and staff. I was in for 3 nights after surgery. This is a top notch hospital.

Saiah Eilijah

The wound care department is the best team to take care of Wounds of any kind. They will not only help you heal your skin but they also give you comfort tender love and they truly care.

Rachael Meurrier

During a vacation, we found ourselves in need of an ER. Ended up in the care of Drs. Howton and Sandquist . We cannot say enough good things about the physicians, their team, and the facility. Every single person that helped, from check in to the techs, had a wonderful bedside manner, and their team's level of communication exceeded all our expectations. Excellent quality of care. Would absolutely recommend!

after being admitted through the emergency room, i was diagnosed with "torticollis," which simply means "twisted neck." i didn't need to be told i had a twisted neck. it was obvious by the fact that i couldn't hold my head still, nor turn my head in any direction without neck pain. i was prescribed ibuprofen, vicodin, and flexeril. after finishing my vicodin prescription, the torticollis was clearly still existent. i feel cheated by providence medical center. in my experience, they treat only the symptoms, not the source. this round, i aim to try acupuncture, instead.

Brent Higdon

Been in MPU 4 times the staff wear the best Dr Stapleton is a Awesome Dr

Maria 2011GR

This medical center is exceptional and an immense valued asset both to the community as well as its patient’s. The Admittance Desk is a neverend kindness and very helpful. As for the Dept where certain testing require sedation they are above and beyond. The front desk to that dept these women assist and make you feel like a patient and not just $$$! Excluding the stoic Susan who is a nurse and causes conflict instead of being the resolution. In such field being compassionate and extending assistance to help a patients needs Susan needs a recourse ASAP! From the moment I walked into my room I requested Susan not assist or help in my care and she is also too mean natured. All opposite in credentials a nurse should possess or make her patient feel which is an injustice. In sustaining such as a patient but, as a human being seeking medical attention on any level. Now Kelly is amazing not only as a nurse but, in compassion and handling your care this woman is remarkable. Not forgetting Stephanie who is too with a kind and caring mode providing the best care a nurse can give her patient. Anna assisted me in wheelchair to get my ride was amazing too. In this hospital the only negativity was Nurse Susan and her barbaric attitude so forth. The hospital is clean and caring thank you Kelly you made the “Susan Situation” a solvent and a positive outcome. Thank you Kelly in all you provided to me and my needs may god bless you thrice to anything and all you adore.

Chad Poznanski

Great experience, they know their stuff.

Gary Beckler

I checked in to Providence Medical Center for a CAT Scan and Ultrasound. Five months later I received a bill and learned from my insurance company they are out of network. Providence was presented my insurance card at check in and should have told me my carrier was out of network. This mistake has cost me about $1000. They need to inform patients whether carriers are out of network. Some other hospitals inform their patients of carriers out of network. I will never do business with Providence again.

Brian Shackleford

After being admitted to Providence Portland Medical Center Hospital for an extremely painful infection in my left arm, my overall views and feelings about medical care in a large hospital setting has forever been changed. I have been here for the past seven days and have never experienced the superior care, kindness and overall genuine hospitality I have received here. Every member of the nursing staff I have encountered has gone above and beyond their duties, making me feel extrmely comfortable regardless of the pain I have been in, providing me with care that has far surpassed that of any medical facility i have ever been admitted to. I could not ask for better care. The men and the women of the respiratory unit on the second floor (I was placed here because of the shortness of available space when i was admitted) really and truly cared about my situation, taking time out of their extremely hectic and stressful schedules to listen to what I had to say. These men and women here at this Hospital in the respiratory unit hav made my experience here at this Hospital one I will never forget. They have changed my view of hospital care forever and I thank God for such incredibly kind and knowledgeable people. (ESPECIALLY THE NURSING STAFF) that provided me with such compassionate care. After having lost my daughter and mother last year i honestly was on the verge of completely giving up hope until I came here. I want to extend a special thank you to everyone that was involved in my care sinceI've been here GOD BLESS YOU ALL!! you are all a true blessing to the medical field and to me!!

ALL CAPS

They gave my dad the best treatment they could and sent him to specialists in his autoimmune disease. I believe this Hospital still holds values for their patients, and has one of the best Neurologists in the state. Thank you Julia Toub, love from our family.

Heather Thompson

This is the worse hospital ever... And i will never come back here and again and i recommend finding somewhere elae to go they treat you like your nothing and just ignore you when your in pain or even have a question i have never been treated so badly am still crying....

Danny Pate

I work with such a cool staff! My first day of work I already go the assumption that I would want to work here for a long time. My manager Ron Lee is good guy and a great trainer for the service desk.

TheRemake

That help my broken at 2 times and thay are nice people

Jonathan Escobar

Excellence

William Butler

I had a very positive experience at Providence. I spent two months there and went thru two surgeries. I also had 40 treatments in their hyperbaric chamber to enhance wound healing. I can't say enough about the care I received, from the doctors to the nursing assistants, and from the RNs to the physical therapists and techs. All were professional and helped me stay positive with their upbeat outlooks. I was blessed to be treated there!

Matt Steward

I have had such an incredibly good experience at any hospital I have ever been in. Providence Medical Center and it's staff made my extended stay, due to the very painful infection in my arm, actually quite enjoyable. I have not one single complaints about the patient service the staff or the facilities at this Hospital thank you so much for the care and the absolute kindness of all involved in my stay.

Lillian Matlock

Everyone- doctors, nursers, transporters everyone- treated me with compassion and concern from the second I walked in. It was very busy, a weekend, so the wait was long but they communicated well and were available to answer any questions I had at the front desk. I never felt forgotten about or passed over. I want to especially thank the doctor and nurse that helped me last week- you made an awful, scary experience tolerable and I felt secure that I was in good hands the entire time

Kenny Crewse

I was not pleased with the level of care I received in the ER. There was very little communication from the nurses as far as what was going on, for instance, I was asked to give a urine sample, and they left it sitting in my room by the sink for two hours. How can you get results from a UA if you never test it? I finally got dressed and left in frustration, to which the staff seemed to regard as no big deal. I will not go there again, I suggest Mt. Hood Medical Center for proper patient care.

Bear Bear

I came here the first week of March after an appointment at Lutheran Community Services where my psychiatrist ignored my complaints about a medication that was affecting me so extremely that I didn't want to take it anymore (my suicidal thoughts increased when I started this certain med). He, for lack of better words, gave up on me. So, I just head outside, close my eyes, and try to kill myself by walking head on into traffic. Instead of it happening, I end up at the Providence E.R. I can easily say that I still wish I would've just off'd myself instead of coming here. Out of all the staff in the E.R department, I can say that maybe two of the nurses, and the security officer treated me like I was human. Yeah, I was hysterical because I was one inch from ending it and didn't, for some reason. But here's the thing: All I wanted was to not take the medication they offered, because I had been prescribed it in the past and knew I had bad side effects toward it. Multiple times I was told by different nurses "The doctor says you take this or nothing at all." Word for word. Multiple times, from multiple staff. They would say that, turn on their toes and walk out. So they let me panic for hours until they brought a group of people in to try to hold me down and inject this medication in me that I refused because of negative side effects. I try to tell the nurse with the the needle why I didn't want the medication, and she just rolled her eyes at me and turned her head away in disgust. That's when I realized that they didn't see me as a human being. I said right then and there pointing to my fiancee that if they stick me with that and something happens, he's my witness. They moved real quick to find me the doctor, who then just kind of raised his voice at me because I don't know what medication helps with what I was going through. I say Benadryl just to get them all out of my face, because at this point I was done with getting "help". And of course they told my fiancee to leave and didn't even allow me to say goodbye. All night long I was treated with disrespect. They played with my emotions, laughed at me, and separated me and my family. They lied to my family about my status and condition and spoke to them in an uncaring tone. I wanted to be transferred and was laughed at, I stood up to relax a little while watching TV and they turned it off on me, stating that I was breaking a rule. They looked straight past me. This was akin to how I was treated by an abuse when I was a child, it was too much for me because of my PTSD. I have to say that once I was transferred upstairs it was a completely different atmosphere. The social workers and staff up there were the ones who really bent over backwards to help me. They listened, truly. I will always be thankful for them and haven't one negative thing to say about them. They are the ones you need to talk to. Sadly, that didn't change the extreme mistrust I had developed, and I kind of just got out as quick as possible because I feared for my safety and being cut off from my family again. I'm college educated. I'm employed. I have friends and family and I love animals and I do art. What I'm saying, is that I'm a functioning human. I had a moment where I was down though, and they kicked me. I had received a letter after my complaints a week or two later, it said they looked into the matter and how the care I was given was appropriate. In other words, nothing was done. Cool beans. I've given up on therapy now. I haven't sought out help since going there, and I don't intend to seek out help if things should ever get as bad as it did a few weeks ago. I don't trust doctors or hospitals anymore, and will never seek out help for my mental health again. This not a place you go to receive mental health help. If you have no choice but here, make sure you have an advocate, social worker, family member, anyone who knows you or is actually qualified with mental health matters looking out for you everyday you're there. Take names of everyone you meet. I'm sorry I ever tried to get help here.

Tle Phin

This is my families go to hospital! We haven't run into any problems yet, other than booking an appointment or two. The staff and professionals are the best and look out for our community. Also last spring I was able to watch a lung surgery, which was AWESOME!!!

Drew Lash

Worst treatment by doctor i have ever had. Was treated like a joke and in a hurry. I get that it was a busy night, but thats no reason to treat a patient as though they are a joke. Dr. Tores, you should be ashamed of yourself. I will never come back to this hospital

Kristie Hendon

DO NOT USE THIS HOSPITAL. NOT GOOD SERVICE...YOU WILL FEEL LIKE CATTLE BEING MOVED AROUND, THEY BILLL WAY TO MUCH AND THEY WANT WAY TO MUCH FOR MINIMUM PAYMENTS! SO UNLESS YOUR RICH(UNLIKE MOST OF US) GO TO A HOSPITAL THAT CARES ABOUT THERE PATIENTS. AND WILL WORK WITH YOU ON PAYMENTS. VERY DISAPOINTED. THEY JUST LOST A PATIENT TO EMANUEL.

Orlisa Deschene

Two hr wait in severe pain see others not in crituel condition go before me came in after me.

Tonya Hill

ER wait time is ridiculous. (4hrs) doctors treat you like drug abuser if you've been here before in pain ( even with documented proof of a problem ). They come very close to giving too much pain medication while in the room but then will refuse to send you home with anything no matter how much pain you're in. only good thing: the nurse "Rainbow" is amazing and treats her patients quite well. Just perfect.

Ashley Anderson

My review is for the nurses and L&D team at Providence. On October 13th I was admitted because my 32 week fetus was having random heart decelerations. Over the next 2 weeks I was kept hospitalized on 24 heart rate monitoring and he (my baby) continued having on average 10 decels a day. Each time, nurses would rush in and we would change my positions and administer oxygen and IV fluid until he recovered within a couple minutes. There was a plan in place to deliver by emergency c-section if he ever showed signs of not recovering. The nurses, OB, L&D and the entire Oregon Clinic Midwifery East team (I usually worked with Denali, Patel, Bley, Caldwell and Polo) worked tirelessly over those couple weeks to keep my baby and I safe. On October 26th, on his 34th week of gestation, we decided to deliver by regular cesarean surgery. He was born at 12:36pm healthy and handsome, and we discovered the cause of his heart decelerations were because of a nuchal cord around his neck. I have no doubt in my mind that the team of physicians and nurses saved the life of my baby. I am eternally grateful, and would recommend The Oregon Clinic Midwifery East, as well as the entire L&D team at Providence in Glisan to anyone and everyone. We had an incredibly difficult and unique situation and they handled it beautifully. My son is now on his journey to homecoming in the NICU at Providence and improving everyday. Thank you to all involved.

Jamie Panda Girl

My Namie is Jamie H. And On July 20, 21 of 2016 I was attacked by a patient back to back days while in the care of Portland Providence Hospital at 4805 NE Glisan Street, Portland, OR 97213. When it first happened to me I reported to the nurse she told me "You all have problems go lay down and didnt send me to the ER to get checked knowing that I had Post concussion syndrome. The next day I was eating breakfast with with a group of girls and the same person came up behind me named Roy and hit me twice on my head and immedietly I started crying. One of the girls got up and ran got the same nurse and the other girls surrounded me. The nurse put me on my walker and ran me to my bathroom where I had a big panic attack with loss of funtion. Then she put me in my bed and once again didnt take me to the Emergency room to get check knowing I had post concussion syndrome. I reported to the doctor when I saw him. He immediately stopped the meeting with me and talked to the nurses. I'm releasing this story because Providence Portland is trying to cover up this story. And people need to know the truth about this hospital. I contacted quality management and filed a complaint. When I got out of the hospital and seen a couple doctors In the letter I got back from her she wouldn't share what was done to correct the problem for future times. I found out 2 weeks ago thru a investgation complaint that the doctor and nurse never put that I was attacked during my stay with them. And continued to lie and say there was no problems with my stay when there was problems with me after I was attacked. So there doing a cover up. When I filed a complain with Risk management Ema opened the case and then I got a call from her stating she never got the paper work from my primary doctor. So after hanging up from her I called my doctors office. I found out the info and immediately called and left Ema a voice message. Well Ema never sent me any mail. On March 2018 I called Ema to let her know I'm closing my case and this Ema informs me she closed my case 10 months after she opened it because she never got my doctors info and shes all anger at me and blaming me for it and saying she never got my primary doctor files and that I have I have prior injuries. Well I know that the hospitals logo says its to keep patients safe and they failed to keep me safe. They have treated me badly. So I got a letter from my doctors office proving that Ema did recieve my records from my primary doctors offices. That she is lying. I called to put a complaint into her supervisor. Someone transfered me to a lady. I told the whole story asking several times are you Emas supervisor the lady said yes. I asked for the ladies name she said Margaret. I repeated the name she said yes. At the end of the call I asked again are you the supervisor she said no. I said why did you lie. She paused and said I'm sick I didnt hear you. I said no. Whats the supervisor phone # I called a 425 area phone 3 times no one called me back. Something needs to be done. Ema never sent me paperwork saying she closed my claim. I also told the story to a Lisa who said she would call me with someone to help me she never called me back from risk management. I spoke to a washington lady named Susan and filed a complaint on Ema and Margaret and told the story of everything and that was on May 1 or 2nd , 2018 and Susan calls me and tells me that Ema is going to call me thursday or Friday May 3 o 4th well its the 7th and once again I have not heard from Ema. This story needs to be heard. I'm still dealing with trauma from the attack. Providence needs to take responsibility. It doesn't matter if I had prior injuries I came to there hospital for help and they had a right and responsibility to keep me safe they failed to do that and I'm still being affected by the attack and being ignored and I have a disability and this is how they treat disabaled people they should be ashamed of themselves and the risk management people should all be investigated. Thank you

Sarah Feldman

They are so incompetent. 4 years I've been coming to Providence on Glisan. The health insurance sucks. The hospital is cheap, the staff unfriendly, and they have made multiple mistakes in diagnostics with my care. I am a healthy young woman and they still screw it up every time. If you have a choice, go to Adventist. They are professional and thorough. They actually caught mistakes providence made worth my health. I hate coming to the hospital! It sucks every single time. Oh, and they'll tell you to show up early, but be prepared to wait up to an hour, a common occurrence.

Sarah Willett

I had a wonderful experience here with the people. So kind, friendly and informative, in the ER the wait was a bit long but it was a monday. They took care of me quite nicely.

Dal Basnet

Thank you so much Providence for tour great service.

M Mercier

I took my daughter in for a head injury and waited for over an hour. Not happy! What's truly an emergency these days? Everyone waiting for the same amount of time pretty much

Tashara Nelson

Well my experience has been ok except when I first came here which was my first morning at Portland Providence and not being in the emergency room but being on the second floor I had an issue with two nurses who felt like they didn't want me to go outside until the end up calling security on me yes call security on me cuz I wanted to go outside and smoke a cigarette but they said I wasn't allowed to go outside cuz I had a heart monitor on me so I decide to leave the heart monitor in the room until I got back and they hunted me down and tell me to sign the paper and leave and don't come back but they said it was routine for them to call security which was a lie but then they still made me feel like I did something wrong which I did not do they were discriminating against me because after that I see everybody walking around here with a heart monitor that coming from this floor to the the it downstairs, smoking a cigarette and have the same thing I had but they're not being told they can't go outside and of course I'm black you know their Caucasian so we all know what that was. Straight up racism! They did not care that I was a patient in the hospital just the fact that I was black and I have a history and they just wanted to give me a hard time but not bothering anybody else but you didn't write this with it so I don't blame the whole hospital I just blame it on the 2 nurses & I feel they should get rid of them both you know & learn how to treat people regardless of their color. Thanks for listening!

My son died but the food was good

SmellingThe Coffee

I had ear surgery at this facility. I was all prepped and ready for surgery, reclined on the gurney with my husband sitting next to me. The nurse came in and said, "Okay, time for your pregnancy test." I said, "What???" She said I had to have a pregnancy test to have surgery. I said, "You know I'm about 3 weeks shy of 55 years old, right? Post-menopausal, oh, and my husband has been "fixed" for over 20 years. Apparently my word was not good enough. I had to have a pregnancy test or I could not have surgery. I can only conclude that the test was based on the assumption I was lying and having extra-marital affairs. I had to have the surgery to prevent deafness and I had already planned time off from work, etc. Thank goodness I have a good marriage and this conversation - all taking place in front of my husband - did not cause any problems. What if I had a violent husband? What if this incident triggered something? At this facility, women are liars and suspected of unfaithfulness; we have no privacy rights and our lives don't matter as much as an imaginary embryo.

charles simmons

Dont believe anything they tell you. They say one thing and consistently do another.

Thomas Warehime

I got to the hospital at 6 am. after 6 am I was checkin in pre pre op at 730. no it's 730 heading to surgery 3 half hours later I'm out. in my room by noon surgery went well and the pain is still sore but doing fine. and of course it did a wonderful job on my surgery we appreciate him thank you doctor to get a wonderful job. doctors and nurses at providence .

Nora Heard

A week ago, I gave birth at Providence Portland. I couldn't speak more highly of all of the nurses, doctors, midwives, and doulas who cared for us both before and after my daughter's birth. They supported us through a traumatic situation and we are so much better for having shared that experience with them.

Silver Fox

AWFUL

J Jay

Waited 3 or 4 hours to get a room in the ER while in screaming pain, very humiliating. When I finally got a room and some help, the doctor came in and rushed me out because they were changing to night shift. Next time I would rather risk it driving to a different city, county, state, whatever it takes. 2 stars because I didn't leave worse off than I arrived.
