Please follow the law and pass on medical records when they are requested appropriately. I am going to make noise and advocate for this, it is a recognized issue that needs resolution for current and future patients. This issue is important because successful health is not able/promoted when the continuity of care cannot happen with this clinic holding medical records/documents that are requested from you. Maybe you are short staffed, maybe you should hire more staff, or allow opportunities for internships so your legal obligations are not ignored. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

This clinic has poor communication between departments. My calls are never returned, prescriptions are not refilled in 3 days, imaging requisitions are not forwarded to the hospital for scheduling. The staff and doctors act agitated when I call or go in. The doctor doesnt even touch me during an exam. Dont go here!

Strange how when I walk in I feel like Im at the DMV instead of a welcoming medical facility. I have to take a ticket number just to check in. Of course all medical facilities care about is making money.

I called and asked if they were accepting new patients, they told me they were so I updated my primary care with insurance. Ask to fill out new patient intake forms. You have to come in. I have chronic pain and no car could you fax or email it to me? No you have to come in to fill out the paperwork.So I come in and ask for the paperwork.Were not accepting new patients right nowWhat a joke.

I really liked it here when I first came but its all different now. I feel like I dont matter to them. I dont feel heard. I went in with a medical issue and the diagnosis the doctor put down was way off base. It was nothing like I told them it was. They just decided on their own what it was which was wrong and they didnt even listen to me. Im thinking of filing a complaint.

Ive had a few very negative interactions with the ppl employed at this clinic. Quite some time ago, I was treated as if I were drug seeking. I even overheard the provider that saw me in urgent care, talking derogatory about me to the nurses, telling them that she told me all I was getting was a toradol shot, as she laughed. The nurse that then followed up with the shot was rude. I even had to ask for a sling for my arm. X rays and MRI revealed my shoulder was broken, and my rotator cuff and bicep were both so badly torn that surgery was necessary to repair the damage.Now, instead of continuing with my current thyroid meds script and working with me around my transportation issues and other hurdles, Ive been denied any refills. That medication and dosage has been working for me for YEARS and there was no indication that it needed to be adjusted. Denial of that medication can actually cause some really serious health issues, INCLUDING DEATH. Ive included screenshots from a very reputable site and checkmarks next to the symptoms Im now suffering from due to the denial of the medication. Note that I did highlight where it states that levels SHOULD be checked annually but nowhere does it state to stop the medication, if such tests cannot be performed (for any reason whatsoever). This site will not post them in the correct order so Ive numbered them in the order they should appearIm giving them 3 stars because I do actually like my current provider there and Im aware that she is a nurse practitioner, limited by clinic policy or guidelines and the instruction of the supervising physician. If it werent for her, I would give them 1 star.

I haven’t even started going to the clinic and when I went in to get the initial paperwork I asked if a specific doctor was accepting new patients and they said yes. When I went back to submit the paperwork instead of a receptionist helping me (it was close to closing time) a lady came out from the back and said she could help me. She was incredibly rude to me and seemed to be extremely bothered that I asked about the same doctor who I was previously told was accepting new patients. She said he was one of the directors so there would be no way he would be seeing me. Very derogatory and purposeful said in a way to make me feel bad. So when I asked about who I would be getting as a doctor and when I could schedule she said it would be months before I could get in and that they would call me and not to call them. It’s been a week and I have not received a call. I’m going to be looking elsewhere for care because I don’t want to be treated like this.

This clinic refuses to accept certain patients without providing logical or reasonable explanations. It was such a waste of time talking with them. It doesn’t surprise me that this clinic already has poor ratings. Sad!

While my doctor and team have taken excellent care of me, my boyfriend’s care team not only has refused to treat his anxiety multiple times, but took him off much needed medications without any comparable replacements. Not only had I requested to complain about his psychiatrist once before, and the clinic NEVER called me back about it, but I put in a physical complaint and haven’t been contacted about it either. This clinic needs to hire doctors, psychiatrists, etc who are ALL following the same standards of care and lack bias in their treatments. I’m incredibly sick of people not listening at this clinic, and APPARENTLY many others are as well.

I have been a patient for 13 maybe yrs. I have a new doctor which is really good. Very thorough. Dr Sandy Fulkerson. She takes her time to listen and fully understand.I also see a psychiatrist who is the absolute best. Been with him since hes been with the clinic. Dr T, who I call for short for Dr Trueschel(sp?).**Update**Still not the same clinic as before. Not as easy to get in w your PCP, no matter who it is. Ive had this problem for about 2 years. I feel like there are more patients per doctor. Im not a fan of this whatsoever. Its about a month out. You can get in w someone, but they dont know you personally. For myself and for being able to see my old PCP for many years, I was used to getting right in. Hes been gone for about 2 years and since I feel the company took a change.I like the new renovations to the building and making it better.My complaints since covid have been with staff. The front desk doesnt always leave messages with nurses or your notes dont get sent. This has happened on many occasions. This is the area that needs help. Portal is crumb. This has been extremely frustrating.I have known several employees who have helped me. I know I have had or have complaints. Im still a patient and will continue. Continue because of my doctors.

No zero stars so a measley 1. The staff seem nice but way in over their heads, I hope and/or malpractice worthy incompetent. Ive had 30+ years of cholerstal meds but in a new patient interview was told I did NOT need a bllod test but did need one for hepC. The special of the month? Im over 70, never used drugs and hadnt had sexual relations in 8+ years! Then I had a 3+ week bout of insomnia, given a presciption for skin rash and told to come in 2 weeks to get a stronger med.. No sleep for 2 weeks?! The prescription - took 2 pills and 3.5 hours still awake! No skin rash though. Go to my 2 week wait appointment, PA is gone, need to come back another time. Luckily I called Salem Clinic and was seen in 3 hours getting the meds I needed to sleep. DO NOT RISK YOUR HEALTH AND LIFE WAITING FOR THESE CLOWNS TO HELP YOU. BE PROACTIVE AND GO ANYPLACE ELSE!

Theyve always helped me financially in every way possible. They are very good at listening to me and what I think. They have helped me through injuries and are always polite. Every once in a while they get a little mixed up. But I understand they have a ton of patients. They always take the time to correct any errors. Would recommend to anyone. If I cant afford a bill they always do everything in their power to lower it and even have totally wiped the bill for me. I have insurance but they always help me with my co-pays when Im unable to work or not able to afford it when working. Great place. Great employees. 😁

If there were zero stars I would have chosen that. My mom sustained a compression fx of her thoracic spine a month ago. I follow up was recommend with a specialist and I spoke with the referral department and was told that the request would be sent to the appropriate care team. I guess it went to the dont care team as the referral was never sent! Now a month later! There is something wrong with this clinic. I am a physician from a neighboring state. I would consider this clinic dangerous to ones health. Many stories of mortality and morbidity have to do with delays in appropriate medical care. Dont become a statistic. Avoid this medical clinic

Tried to call to get in today as I have been in horrible pain. Receptionist was very rude. She tried talking over me and refused to listen. She was horrible and no help. Please quit hiring people who are rude and disrespectful if you are a medical facility. No reason to be awful to patients who are in need. Hire people who want to help others and are compassionate. Your on hold message says you strive to be the best. If that were true, you wouldnt treat people rude and hateful. Very unprofessional! You dont even deserve a one star. As soon as I can, I will be looking for somewhere else for my healthcare needs.

6 years a patient. All 5 of my revolving door doctors have been great... and nearly worth the never less than 20 minutes waiting on hold to get an appointment more than 6 weeks out.Update- 11/28/22.THEY MADE ME AN APPOINTMENT WITH A DOCTOR WHO WONT BE THERE!20 minutes on hold to make an appointment with my new doctor for the first time. Made the appointment 12/21/21. Got a letter not 1 hour later. It was dated 11/23, days before they made the appointment, it said the doctor had quit and her last day would be 12/6/22.It goes this way almost every time!

I haven’t seen any primary care providers here but the mental health staff is always the best and most caring providers I have ever personally had. I could talk to Dr. DeCelles for days she is so friendly, personable, kind and caring and I’ve always received phenomenal care from her. Veronica in behavioral health is also so kind and always so incredibly helpful and understanding.

My third time calling this location and omg they are so annoying. One time they hanged up on me. The way they are talking to you makes you do not want to go to this clinic. They sound like they hate their job and don’t what to help! Man if you do not like to talk to people just find yourself another job! Zero star

Been to this office 4 times, with 4 negative experience. Most recently, I had a pap smear done, the doctor did not listen to me, and got a bad sample due to her lack of listening to her patient. I had to get a second pap smear done. This time the same provider did it, and gave them a sample of 100% RBC and no tissue to use diagnostically. I have had 2 paps in 3 months, and now I have to get another one done elsewhere as I am high risk. My health has been neglected by this office. They do not call back, they are so disorganized with appointments, and their billing department cannot read an EOB. Spoke to a manager and she said she could not even refund my 2 copays for my well woman visits. Which, I believe was dropped with ObamaCare. I had to leave work twice, get a traumatic procedure done, twice.. And there is nothing they can do to right the situation? Dont go here. Go literally anywhere else.

Wowzer, I started going to West Salem clinic about 7 years ago. I moved out of the area for 1 year and then I came back to West Salem clinic.For the last 3 years I tried to get the care I needed and I was straight up lied to.I feel like I just advocated for myself into the black void for the last 3 years.I was super patient with West Salem clinic during the construction and covid but I just cant do it anymoreIm going to move on to some places else.I think West Salem clinic needs to be investigated

Review №23

This is from someone who is pretty much forced to go here because i need the mental health services so I’m forced to go to their drs as well.If you have serious chronic health issues I would think twice about going here as you just feel like a another patient and are not treated respectfully.It literally feels like they aren’t aware of the history of your treatment and have little concern for the long term treatment.they recently changed a dosage of my medication without even telling me,what a joke! A practitioner here complained about having to fill out fmla paperwork for a serious injuries.their first line of treatment is to push you into physical therapy instead of giving consideration to takin you away from the job that is causing you the pain.Most of the time they are so booked up your not going to see your practitioner anyway because they send you to quick care.Just do your research if you want to quality care and you have chronic issues you might consider going elsewhere.

Breanna,The very first time I saw her there was like this Beacon of hope and light that entered the room. I had been putting off getting my lab work done so she was like, no meds. It wasnt about that though she cares. She really truly is one of the only ones there that will listen to you. She also made me do a pap-smear and I was so nervous to which she calmed me down for just being her, telling me Im not as traumatized as her. Now made me laugh to which that thing flew right out of me due to the convulsions of laughter.Now thats behind us and Im squeaky clean even though past cancer diagnosis in my uterus. I wanted and still want a daughter. If anybody reads this email me. If you are planning not keeping your.....Goodnight and thank you

Review №26

West Salem Clinic feeds off of co-pays or something. They know that you’re desperate to get help and have you come back a million times to take care of something that could have been dealt with in an appointment or two. If you ask to be scheduled for a 30 minute appointment, you will show up to that appointment to find out that you were only scheduled for 15 minutes and then rushed out in 10 after not having a chance to talk about everything you’re there for. I just recently saw my doctor for FIVE minutes and was told to make another appointment to talk about the heart issues and constant muscle spasms that I’ve been having due to medication they put me on (I was told that we would have a chance to talk about it at that appointment and will obviously not be coming back because I feel like it is time-sensitive - I left the clinic bawling my eyes out and was SO embarrassed). Every experience I have had for the last 6 months or so have been a splinter of hope sprinkled with “We’ll talk about all of that at the next appointment.” and then not being able to get a word in about it at the next appointment and rushed out of the office after hearing “Make another appointment and we’ll talk about it, I have OTHER patients, you know.” when not only was I early, but sitting right there desperately waiting to talk about it. They do not have enough time to genuinely take care of their patients, after their patients wait like 4 weeks for an appointment. I absolutely do not recommend them, unless you are taking your child - they treat my children wonderfully and take their time to check them out and speak with us - that is the only reason I’m giving them 2 stars. PLEASE go elsewhere if you have chronic pain/an invisible illness and are desperately looking for help - you will be old and grey before receiving help for it here.

Instead of letting me change my prescription to something that is covered they just billed their own insurance. I could have had it changed to something my insurance covered but they took that away from me. I only found out after it was done and I had to pay way more then I would have if I had gotten one phone call. It was that or wait another 4 days for the backed up pharmacy to get my son his antibiotics he desperately needed.I assume I have to ask every time I get a prescription to not have a note taking away my ability to make decisions on my medications. Next time I come in I am retracting this consent if I even gave it. I just needed to be included. This all happened without me and I feel so violated.

Review №28

I have asked about my varicose veins and leg pain several times before and they dont seem like it is a problem. Heres some Gabapentin. It could be just West Salem Clinic. They make a comment on your paperwork that they talked to you about your weight even though they dont so that they can bill the insurance at the cost to tax payers that they did to fund their new buildings and expansions. Health care will never be what it was in the 70s and 80s when the patients actually mattered. Now its only 1 complaint per visit so they can bill and fund things and expansions that they want. Its ridiculous and its crazy. Maybe patients should schedule a few back to back appointments so that they can ask a couple of questions and get results. Bring back true patient CARE.

As pained as I am to leave a one-star review, our experience relying on West Salem Clinic for our newborn to be seen at two weeks old, let alone further regular two week checkups, was exceptionally bad.His two week check up was rescheduled to almost his one-month mark because Dr. Angela did not show up and, for whatever its worth, they had zero backup available for all her patients affected. Then, the rescheduled appointment offered nothing more than weighing him and looking at his skin—i.e., no check on vision, hearing, physical, cognitive, etc. To make matters worse, the appointment that was supposed to follow two weeks thereafter was also rescheduled, resulting in a second checkup at his two month mark that shouldve been at his one month mark.If you rely on them and they reschedule low quality appointments for your newborn, then who is liable should you discover anything regarding patient health that shouldve been caught by regular, quality two week appointments? Putting the health of our son in their hands effectively put his health in the hands of no one... we are fully capable of weighing him and checking his skin on our own.I can only speculate why the appointments were either rescheduled or of such low quality. They claimed Dr. Angela was sick, which, if true, Im sorry to hear and hope she feels better. The face value of such excuses is quite low from a nonperforming organization meriting little to no trust. Furthermore, due to work I was unable to attend the appointments and, subsequently, his mother was present with him. They are both people of color - were they treated differently in virtue of implicit bias?

Update: The provider I wrote the original review about is no longer at this facility, so I have updated the review to reflect my most recent experience.I have been in severe pain each day for a week. Dr. Niemuth saw me while my provider was out. She stated she would have a prescription filled for me but never sent it (not for pain). She was rude the entire time, and not comforting at all. Fortunately, my symptoms have started to subside today but what an awful doctor to have in charge of your care.

This is difficult for me, as my problem is with administration, not with the medical care.I have been going to West Salem Clinic since 2013.My primary physician and his nursing staff are as good as any I have experienced. I could not be more pleased and have not a single complaint. I have never had a problem with the lab.There are two reasons for the one star. The first is that their front office staff is poorly trained. Not in regards to check-in, that they do well, but try calling for anything and you will have long waits, often be disconnected on transfer, and should you ever ask to speak to a supervisor they will never, ever return your call.The second is their NextGen Patient Portal is absolutely unusable. Should you try to find and read your test results, forget it. They should check out the Salem Health MyChart Portal for the way a real portal should work, and then switch.If it were just the medical staff, I wold give 5-stars. But you have to get past the front office before you can get to them. And then deal with perhaps the worst designed patient portal on the planet.Why do I continue to go there? Because I like my doctor and have resigned myself to the poor administration.

A previous person described their service perfectly. Which I will quote below with a quick addition.“West Salem Clinic feeds off of co-pays or something. They know that you’re desperate to get help and have you come back a million times to take care of something that could have been dealt with in an appointment or two”Personally, I’ve had multiple instances where they will send incorrect bills, rush our appointments and invalidate symptoms. Extremely unprofessional.

The doctors here seem dismissive and rushed. I understand a lot of patients are forced to this location due to the limited care of OHP, but maybe its time more doctors demand extended coverage from the OHA since they dont seem to listen to their citizens. On top of this, some of their receptionists seems extremely untrained. I had to explain in detail what a gynecologist was and why I needed my annual exam in order for him to understand what I needed and he still didnt know where to schedule me.

Getting refills of medications is impossible. Takes 5+ days for them to even review it, then 2+ more days to get to a pharmacy. Every single month is like this. Communication is awful between patient and care team. Unless you enjoy running out of medications (even though you request at the correct time), go elsewhere.

Takes a long time to get anyone on the phone to even make an appointment. I next to NEVER see the same provider if I do get an appointment. They will take your weight and blood pressure, so they can bill your insurance for an entire exam, if if youre only there to get test results- which you need to make an appointment for, just so they can bill your insurance! They put in a take a number machine- without a sign - nothing- and even if they see you standing in the line waiting, NO ONE SAID hey theres a new system- you have to print out a ticket! They didnt call in my meds, I was nervous that the pharmacy would close first! My doctor decided that my nausea meds were being taken to get high after prescribing them to me for nearly 4 years! The lab gave me the WRONG tests! I waited for the lab for over an hour- just to be given the WRONG tests!? Then they want me to come back and wait another hour and a half to get the right ones! I dont have alot of good things to say about this place! All the good reviews on here are from fake accounts that are most likely staff and friends of staff. Dont even get me started on the Mental Health and Dental clinic there!!! I would love to get a new clinic- but its been impossible no one else in town seems to be taking new patients!

One of the worst clinics I’ve ever been to. I moved out of state recently, but before I moved I made one last appointment to refill an important prescription. After visiting the doctor it became apparent he failed to call in my meds which left me high and dry in a new state. Inexcusable incompetence as failing to call in a prescription to the pharmacy has happened many times before

Review №49

My original provider simply could not have been better. I was thrilled to have her. She was knowledgeable, caring, a good listener, all of the things I hope for in a medical provider. After about a year and a half, she left the clinic. Since that time, which has now been about 5 years, I have had several providers, varying in degrees from poor to pretty good. Sadly, the entire atmosphere of the clinic has changed, as well. The focus throughout the establishment is on limiting the amount of time you are allowed and making darn sure you know it at every step of the way; from setting appointments on. There is also a high turn-over rate in providers, perhaps because of the aforementioned emphasis, in combination with a general sort of malaise in the line level personnel and medical staff that used to appear as people who enjoyed their work and environment. As Im not aware of the inner workings of the organization, I dont know what has caused this, but it has certainly been disappointing to observe the change occur and, even more so, to experience the impact on the level of care I receive.

Yes, this place used to have long hold (phone) and wait (office) times, but it has much improved. Since Ive been on Oregon Health Plan I can have all my concerns addressed in a fast, competent manner. The Patient Portal is great. Sign up online to message your doctor and get test results, etc.

Update. Now that i have an appointment elsewhere they cannot even fax a referrel to a new dr. Therefore i get no appointment after 3 months of waiting. Just because i was taking a mild dose of a narcotic does not make me a drug seeker or an addict. Although some here want to see it as that. They pick who gets narcotics and who doesnt by judgement call of their own. I am filing a suit against them in order to get a referral by fax. Unprofessional and rude. They do not care about patients needs. No doctors are in the house.

Review №52

Ive been holding off writing a review for this place, but the most recent incident after leaving this place was the official last straw.I was so excited to find a new doctor, after having moved across the country and being in need of prescription refills. I had to go through orientation and then had to wait a few weeks before I was even able to get in. The receptionists are nice enough. The wait time isnt horrible (unless you are calling.. in that case, prepare to be on the phone for an hour or more). My first appointment I was half freaking out, being a nervous doctor-goer and being in a new place... and being off my meds due to having to wait for an appointment. They also make you fill out a sheet of paper listing the two problems you wanted to talk about... well in my case, I had half a sheet of notebook paper and was literally having a panic attack right then. My blood pressure was high. When my doctor (err.. PA) finally got in, I was almost lectured about my blood pressure... this continued to be a trend for many more of my appointments, when I was in the office for different reasons. On one instance, I came in for a possible broken elbow and was transferred into two different rooms so that about three different people could take my blood pressure! By that point I was crying, almost hyperventilating -- of course my blood pressure was through the roof! My blood pressure was never not an issue, it seemed. I even agreed to get put on medication if they would just leave me alone and fix the actual problems (and stop having at least two different people check my BP every single time... like that doesnt stress someone out). It took dozens of appointments to get anywhere close to what I went in to the West Salem Clinic for in the first place... and to mention that -- in order to get an appointment at their mental health clinic (even after having previous providers, referrals, meds, etc...), I had to have 3 pre appointments. One with a semi liaison between departments, and two with the intake person. Im surprised I didnt give up.But I stuck through with them. At one point, I was supposed to get bloodwork done for two things. After not being told to go across the hall to Labcorp, I had to message and ask them if I was supposed to come in. I went and got the labs done, and when I get the report, it looks as though they took way more blood and got way more labs done than the two items that were in my pending labs portion of my patient report. They told me that they must have ordered the wrong labs and not to worry -- they probably had enough blood to test the two original items. I ignored this and figured everything was resolved until EIGHT MONTHS LATER I get a bill from Labcorp for over $400 for the labs that were ordered incorrectly! Now Im sitting here waiting for someone from WSC to get back to me about this, because Lapcorp straight up told me that theyd fax me a copy of the incorrect order, and that the doctors office is the only one who can fix the issue.This isnt even counting the time when I got a call from the radiologist an hour before my scheduled MRI telling me that my doctor ordered the wrong images & not to come in -- he said hed been trying to get a hold of West Salem Clinic for the past three days and was not able to get in touch. It took another few weeks before I was able to get the correct images ordered! Then when I finally got the results, the nurse literally called me on the phone and said You have several microadenomas (tumors) on your pituitary gland. Bye. How is that okay for etiquette?I am absolutely furious that a place as unorganized and inconsiderate as this can possibly remain open. It was the worst experience Ive ever had at a doctors office, and Im surprised I put up with it as long as I did.

Ive had good experiences, but I think the bad and generally frustrating experiences dominate. My former doctor would constantly blow off my medical concerns if they seemed out of the norm or like too much extra work to diagnose. Thankfully she left the practice. My current doctor takes me more seriously but twice there have been communication issues post-appointment. I wasnt given results for a series of tests until I called 2 weeks later, asking for them. My antibiotic prescription wasnt called into my pharmacy as I was told it would be after my appointment, so my pharmacy had to call and request the order.They have made efforts to streamline care to reduce wait times, but doctors are only more overwhelmed and less helpful. The receptionist manager is a salty old woman on a power trip with a terrible, condescending attitude that gets exasperated by callers when she has to answer.

I used to love the West Salem Clinic when I first moved my aged mother from the Salem Clinic 6 years ago. Rather than getting better, WSC has simply become busy and chaotic. Half hour telephone wait-times; confusing and conflicting information; stressed-out staff who apparently do not have access to doctors orders or good information; incorrect orders and information; very hard to contact doctors, nurses, etc. While there are plenty of nice people, West Salem Clinic is now just another lousy corporate medical establishment.

Angela Witt FnP.Angels witt is the worst person to treat youNo she isn’t thorough!! She deserves negative stars !! She has flaked on my mother’s She has rescheduled Appointments multiple times! Her reasoning is family issues but these cancellations isnt just once or twice it ogngoing it was month after month after months and months. And now this month the nurse said she just wasn’t at the clinic. When they had called earlier asking her to be timely. She doesn’t listen my mother .she is in pain yeah she gave her shot two months later. Any concerns she has she doesn’t listen or just says it’s cus of ur age. Women I don’t care what it is you can at lest relive her from her pain! I hope you reads this you don’t deserve to be a doctor you should be ashamed of yourself. My mom has a heavy looking thin on her arm and she won’t even look or treat her cus it wasn’t written on the appointment that was a concern for the day. Also if your gonna be sick pas your patience over you selfish human being .

Cant even get an appointment if you are a new patient because you can only schedule an appointment on Monday and they will only take 2 new patients a week. You can start calling at 7 AM when they open but they wont answer the phones until 7:30 and by the time they get to you all of the spots will be filled. Been trying to get an appointment for emergency dental for a month and all they will do is tell me that I have to try harder and that they cant do anything for me. Go ahead and ask for a supervisor, no supervisor seems to be available within the first hour of the clinic opening on Monday morning, the only time when they take new patients or any appointments at all. I am already a medical patient with this clinic and yet I cant seem to get an appointment for my dental services. There is no compassion within this clinic. Nothing but a lack of professionalism. Dont waste your time.

It’s sounds to good to be true well it is. I thought they would have sent my prescriptions in and the doctor said they were ready to be picked up 9/29/19 went to pick up my prescriptions on 9/30/19 they didn’t have enough to fill them. Do they not hold on to them if you don’t pick them up do they just give away your prescriptions like what the hell

Rude and everytime I come in I feel decriminated. The mental heath is great trushial is amazing. Dr surges dont help you at all. And if you bring up something else thats bothering you, you have to make a appointment weeks out, when it is important. .. also everytime I go to the dr clinic Im waiting in reception area 30 mins to a hr. And then they bring me back and Im waiting 30 mins to a hr to see my dr for five mins tops.. while Im waiting all I hear is the medical assistants talking about personal life being loud and un professional. Ive even heard them talking about why Im being seen, I mean common... I can also hear through the rooms and can hear other patients.... breaking confidentiality rules Id say.. I was also having horrible with aniexy came in to clinic after I called and they made a apt with my advise nurse. Again waiting over a hr and the nurse did nothing. I left and had to go to the er and the er said that was ridiculous.

I wouldn’t come here for help. I tried to get therapy. I didn’t have health insurance. All I got was an uncomfortable interview. I paid 40$ up front and they didn’t tell me any different. Just to try to get a discount and see you next time. I decided not to go through with the therapy. My my mother got cancer, my car crashed etc. It was all too much and I knew I couldn’t afford it. Come a few months later I get a bill for 272$. They charged me 272$ for a 5 min conversation that led to no therapy in the end. I’ve been robbed, and they threatened to send a collection agency after me.I’ve had botched operations here before: Ex. An ingrown toenail that was cut out when I had Medicaid. They pretty much numbed my toe and ripped it off, afterwords they gave me no anti-biotics and no pain killers. They just said Ibprofen would work. - my foot got infected and the pain was miserable. I couldn’t sleep for days until I got them to give me meds.This place does not care about their paitients. At least they didn’t care about me.

Poor reception staff on talking to there patients amd in case of emergency judt keep quoting policy and procedures instead of taking care of the community that gives them jobs. Went to cancel a appointment or reschedule and was told i cant and i would be marked as a no call no show which is rediculous esp only reason i cant make it is cause possibly being evicted. I do not recommend this office if you want to be treated with respect and actually cared for.

I don’t know why people gave this place so many bad reviews. I initially was scared coming into this place because of them but I’ve got nothing but exceptional help from the staff here. Dr. Sturgis is a gem and her team is also always fantastic and make me feel welcomed. I’m always relieved when I leave this place that my needs are being met. If you call later in the day it is hard to get a hold of people only cause of the constant flow of patients they’re all trying to help but I don’t feel like you can knock them for that.

The medical and dental services at Northwest Human Services / West Salem Clinic @ 1233 Edgewater St NW Salem, Oregon 97304 are top notch and affordable. The staff is always professional and super helpful. I volunteered as a medical advocate for Seniors in California for over 15 years before moving to Salem in 2005 - so I have witnessed the standard of care in numerous medical clinics and have a good perspective on the range of outcomes that are delivered in large high volume medical / dental facilities. Northwest Human Services is simply outstanding and consistently provides top notch health care resources for the residents Salem and the Willamette Valley. I have a friend who has accessed resources here too and she is equally complimentary about her experiences. We are privileged to have such an amazing team of health care professions in our community and grateful to every staff person at the Northwest Human Services team. *****FIVE STARS*****

Review №74

Initially I was very excited by the wraparound programming they purport to offer. However, as a chronic pain patient who has to work when she can while job searching, I was soon to find that they hand out referrals without knowing or caring that these will not service the working poor/eligible who must work and cannot sit in a mass class hours a week for weeks on end. When asked to do some advocacy, they shrugged. No interest here.When you call to ask if they treat chronic pain, they refuse to allow you to talk to someone to get a truthful answer. You are required to change your PCP to them before you have even had your mass-orientation visit, and only then do you discover you have been dropped into an anti-medication practice. Frontline operators say they accept pain patients, but actually refer them out right away, meanwhile devising little tricks to try to trip patients up as medication abusers. Tricks can include such acts as having the check-in person ask you if your medication is a stronger one than it actually is; and once in the exam room you are questioned if you have answered incorrectly, mistake or not. It is an unpleasant and paternalistic approach to Medicaid/Medicare patient management. Recent experience with a surgeon shows that although every US doctor is now required to closely question every single user of any pain meds in exactly the same way on every single contact, many medics are opting to give barely enough medication for a person with traumatic injuries (or chronic) to get through as few days as 2-3.5. From recent experience I have learned there is still some room for discretion, but the formal line touted differs from this. Doctors are now threatened with loss of licensure and are clamping down on all pain patients - traumatic and chronic alike - in a one size fits all fashion so as to protect themselves. There is indeed a public health emergency in America, but the root causes are not being addressed. The wraparound service dream is an effort to responsibly address roots and alternatives, but little real-world awareness is being applied to it from the recipient perspective.At one appointment, the provider stoutly announced, Pain pills dont work. After a shattered joint and other new skeletal injuries recently, I can say that I beg to differ. After long and stressful days at work without meds, or long hours of physical endeavor needed to support my way of life, the aches are real and the relief is equally real. While Ive always wanted access to LMT, DC, LaC and more and was never able to have these treatments due to lack of appropriate insurance coverage and pay, I am turned off by these generalized statements of fact that are made in reaction to the stated public health emergency. Moreover, I never could afford access to pools and the like, but, again, the referrals made required me to stop being a working person and be a cattle call member sitting in a classroom for months so as to have access to the services.I am concerned further with this: after cutting off all pain medications from pain patients and allowing them some therapies that absolutely do help and have been heretofore withheld from the impoverished, what is to happen to the chronic pain manager once he or she is re-employed and is given the shoddy underinsurance that is now the standard in America? These ideologues will have moved everyone off of pills, a very good thing, but will have shifted the population onto treatment choices that will be again rendered out of reach by lack of insurance adequacy and lack of earnings to cover these services. What happens to the person with permanent damage to bones and joints, tendons and musculature once the effective alternative palliatives are taken from their reach again?When I try to engage my providers in this conversation, i find them so wrapped up in their idea of this revolutionary programming that they have given absolutely no thought to real-world conditions outside of the delicate Medicaid bubble soon enough to burst under the vicious scrutiny of Trump and company.

Patient profiling and judgmental character assessments are the tools they use to diagnose patients. They are often rude, always condescending, and are honest when they feel like it. If you call for advice, you will be told that its very important that you come in right away,..then they wont listen to a word you say, wont treat pain at all (everyone is med seeking or an addict), doesnt matter if you have broken ribs, they just say its against clinic policy...then they will suggest talk therapy , presumably to help control the impulse to go honey badger right there in the office..Your medical records will not be accurate. No matter how many times you tell them you no longer take a medication, they wont change it. If there is a mistake in your record, they wont change it. ( If you can show proof of inaccuracy, and they still dont correct it...well....FELONY! lolWSC is incompetent at best, and should only be used for referrals to specialists.UPDATE 12/26/2018After Intermedullary nail fixation, I had bad post surgery hip pain. PA Taylor McDowell profiled me as med seeking , so didnt order XRays, but instead ordered physical therapy (which I had already been doing, but had to quit due to severe pain and failure to progress), yoga, and talk therapy. I had to wait 3 months for a second opinion (in constant pain and completely disabled). My pain, as it turned out, was due to a 5 inch screw that blew through the head of my femur and lodged in my pelvis. She entered derogatory comments in my medical record. I am not given equal time to defend myself, or to show evidence of her incompetence.THEN:i had concerns over results of a chest CT done at the time of the above mentioned surgery. A lingering cough made me think a follow up was in order. My requests for chest imaging (I knew something was wrong. Was guessing lymphoma) were met with derision. Each time I called (4+letter and email), I was offered an appointment that was over 6 weeks out. I told the nurse that it was very hard for me to get in/out of the medical transport that I now need, and that it is hard for me to sit for more than a few minutes due to pain. I asked that the tests be ordered first, so I could get the test, then come in for results. NOPE, I was told I had to come in to determine the necessity of any testing. A lingering cough and suspicious CT Chest scan (Aug 27, 2018) of no concern at all.On Dec 3, I was diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer. The tumor has more than doubled since my first request for follow up.WARNING: West Salem Clinic practices the kind of health care that KILLS PEOPLE! Do NOT entrust yourself or your children to these people.JennyBlank aka Jenifer Saroian

I would not complain but I can not breath! Not only that. Big hipaa violations! When they took my vitals and what not.... This guys papers were on the table! I was confused thinking it was my info. The lady then informed me it was another clients test results! Like, why was his stuff NOT in his chart... Then you tell me exactly what it is! Tf!!!!

I met with Eric Chen, who immediately presented himself as an egotist. He was more interested in reaching a conclusion, rather than listening to what I had to say. He assumed my head pressure was nasal pressure, and that it related to being hit the face by a tree branch. The story I started to tell him about the tree branch was a whole tree, first of all. Second of all, my head pressure stems way beyond that. But he was already trying to prescribe medication. Zertec is designed to struggle with passing the blood-brain barrier, which the pressure is beyond the blood-brain barrier. I returned the medication.In my medical record, he stated that I had one unspecified occurrence of Major Depressive Disorder, and yet I told him about at least three.Then I met with a behavioral specialist, who told me that I was in a judgment-free zone, except that her job was to judge my behavior. She brought with her a young female, who the specialist claimed was a medical student. Although the young woman corrected her by stating that she was a nurse. Yet the specialist corrected the young woman by stating that she was medical student for the time being. The interaction between the two clearly implied that the specialist was lying, and that she was trying to cover her tracks by correcting the young woman. Her tone implied that she was frustrated with the young woman for letting the cat out of the bag (so to speak). I did not ask for the young woman to be present. She had no business being in the room, while I was being assessed for mental health services.I specifically told her that I wanted to see a male mental health specialist, yet the intake director asked me if I wanted to see a female. I can see there is an organizational issue here. For instance, I put in a request to change my physician, yet it was never processed.I was referred to Ivan Gutierrez as my mental health specialist. It is clear to me that he isnt qualified to handle people with mental illnesses. He didnt ask me anything about my past or present situation. He was not at all interested in anything that I was going through. He was instantly engaged in finding solutions to problems he had absolutely no idea how to fix. If anything, his advice was making my situation worse. I dont have a good relationship with my father whatsoever and yet every bit of advice he shared, he began with my father would tell me... He spoke highly of his father. was told that I needed to just be more positive, to go out and connect with people, to try and go outside to get some fresh air...none of which you should tell someone, suffering from Major Depressive Disorder. I wrote a 9-page letter he claimed to have read. He told me I was a good writer, and that I could start a career with it. In my letter, it stated at least twice that I didnt want medication. He proceeded to ask me on three separate occasions if I wanted medication. The visit after I gave him the letter, he shared two articles he must have found on Facebook. One about Happiness, and the other about defeating Loneliness; none of which helped.

After being refused URGENT Medical Care by doctor tsueng at the quick care clinic (he was sure that since Im a recovering addict I was just there for pain pills. Even a lowly EMT like me knows you dont give pain medication for abdominal pain. I was there to request Imaging. When I got sent back to the room instead of a doctor I got a social worker (whom was very kind and considerate)he sat down I confirmed with him that dr Tseng sent him in. Apparently the doctor had diagnosed me as a drug seeking faker without even laying eyes on me . When the social worker went to get the doctor it turned out he had left for lunch . I had to wait another hour and a half with some fairly decent upper abdominal pain so I could ask for CT scan/. And then be squeezed in between another doctors appointments. At this point I didnt want to return to the clinic at all. But I decided to give it another shot since the Clinical Director had assured me she would handle the situation. So finally I worked up the courage to go back and see my usual doctor. Who did I see when i walked in the building? Good ole P.A Tsueng. This immediately made me extremely anxious and upset as i suffer from several different mental illnesses including high functioning autism and PTSD. as he moved closer he flashed me a dirty look before disappearing behind two double doors protected by coded lock. By the time I got to see my PA my pulse and blood pressure were dangerously high due to the anxiety I was having. During the doctors appointment I was informed they were no longer going to be giving me the medication for my ADHD and that I was going to be referred to a treatment team. No ETA on that. In the meantime I am dangerously prone to impulsive decisions, extremely poor preformance at my NEW job and failing grade at the college i attend full time. When I was an EMT I made a mistake once and it got me in trouble through the state. Just a slap on the wrist and I was all for it. I wanted to be held accountable. I gave the clinic ample time and opportunity to resolve this situation of pretty blatant discrimination of a PERSON who also happenes to be a disabled veteran. Fool me once...

This place is a complete joke and waste of time. Tried to get a primary doctor here. Firstly they take you into a group intake, so nothing is private or personal, and they expect you to see different specialist doctors depending on your prescriptions and needs. I dont have time to be making numerous appointments just to take care of my medical needs. I have a suspicion they do this just to make as much money from your insurance. Unethical and shady practice. This clinic feels more like a WalMart of medical care, rather than a place of care and healing. I shouldve read previous reviews before coming here.

I honestly hate this place, the service sucks!! The last time I was there I had three issues I needed to talk about and I was literally 5 minutes late because I have to drive all the way across Salem to get there and I sat longer in the god damned waiting room than I did seeing my doctor. And to get a referral HA!!!! they dont go through the correct channels at all Im seriously just done currently now looking for a different doctor

Rude, Discourteous and Judgemental. The Front office ladies act like there doctors. Like there 12 buck an hour job gave them a medical degree. Its completely filthy as well!

I tried desperately to set up a behavioral health appointment, but instead, I got run around, went in no less than three times for initial assessments and was literally laughed at when I tried to actually see a counselor instead of yet another initial assessment.

It’s a great clinic. I don’t have problems getting a doctors appointment and my doctor takes her time when I see her.

While the system is good and the staff is educated, it seems like patients with complex issues tend to fall through the cracks of the three issues max per visit policy.
