I went here for blood work through quest. But they were great. I arrived super early because I…read morewas already in town (I live over an hour away). At first they informed me it would be a long wait but still checked me in. Then someone else came and told me it would be better if I come back. But I had no where to go. I was like um. I'll wait. I waited an hour. It wasn't bad. And the phlebotomist was amazing. She was kind, gentle, and awesome. I'll be back.

The medical care has been fine but they are so short staffed administratively that they cannot…read moreprovide care. I requested a refill on a prescription two weeks ago. They sent refill to pharmacy but they didn't tell me it needed a prior authorization. When I called last week, they said they had sent it. Today they admitted they did not send it and that they are so back logged that it takes 6-8 weeks for them to submit prior authorizations for routine refill requests. This is a crazy unacceptable detail, and to make it worse they never told me of the delay. When I asked for a phone number to the leadership team, the PA was done within an hour. Previously I had to call / send portal message 4 times for a refill and was then told they were back up and I should call every time I need a refill instead of using the refill line or portal refill. Why can't they hire adequate staff?

Though it's unquestionable when evaluating whether to employ any service or to shop in any store or…read moredine in any restaurant, one is better served by evaluating the WHOLE of the service provided rather than the performance of one employee such as a server, clerk, or receptionist. With that, if exposed to only one person, in this case one doctor of the many in this service, it's difficult to evaluate MORE than just the one. That's my caveat. It appears, based on previous reviews, this office many have previously or perhaps even currently is struggling with some customer service issues. My experience wasn't entirely stellar, but altogether not atypical for many of the health services I've been exposed to in the Portland area. There's a feel of being in the mill, just another number, not personal. There's a large population to be served so they get a pass from me on that topic. I'm never quite comfortable with office personnel being trapped behind the sliding glass windows and me on the outside not knowing whether to rap on the window if they do not acknowledge me, stand there waiting for eye contact from them hoping that means they recognize I have to check in, or just take a seat and hope they'll address me when they can. This office suffers from this malady. Most medical providers have struggled in their attempts to commit dedicated space for folks to reveal their personal data and thereby protect their HIPA rights. This office suffers from this malady as well. One is forced to stand at the window, within full earshot of the entire waiting area (about 15 x 15) and rattle through name, dob, phone, etc. Again not atypical. Once past the experience of checking in and getting in with my doc I was quite pleased. Appropriately polite, engaged, invested in my story, and detailing everything I brought up, then feeding it back to me for confirmation on all the details. This, in my opinion, is exactly what any provider needs to do in order to accurately understand what the patient is presenting with. My doc was terrific simply put. He explained exactly what his service would be, the timing as he imagined in advance of actually treating me, the outcome he would hope for, and instilled a sense of confidence in me that I was in good hands. Check out was simple and quick, my hope for every visit. It's rare for me to rate 5 stars because there's always room for improvement, but this facility gets 4 thanks to all that I've noted in this review.

Getting medical care can be challenging when you have rare health issues, but I thought Dr…read moreGreenfield was acquainted with my issues. I was happy with him until one appointment where the adjustment he gave me left me in severe pain and almost crippled from the pain. I tried calling his office, but they were closed during that weekday. When I brought it up at a follow up, he said it was normal. We had discussed a treatment option, which he was going to look into. He decided to do the opposite of what we had talked about. I went along with it, but I had issues. He wasn't willing to look into other options to help me. He seems to have a very limited protocol for addressing issues. It might be great if you're one of the people it works well for. If you're not, then he can't help. He seems unwilling to think outside the box to figure out how to help people. Also, if you're sensitive to heat avoid this office during the summer since they have no air conditioning. It was 90 out when I was there, and it felt like that when I was in his office. He didn't seem willing to figure out what's going on with me when I said that I felt like passing out just sitting in the office.

I rarely post online reviews because I prefer not to speak negatively about any business, but I…read morefeel an urgent obligation to warn prospective patients about this facility and its staff. The front desk reception is exceptionally rude. If you carry any outstanding balance, patient care and mental health immediately cease to be a priority--the sole focus becomes collecting payment. Furthermore, descriptions claiming the facility is "clean" are inaccurate; located inside a mini-mall, the office gives the impression of a temporary pop-up operation rather than an established medical clinic. I received treatment from Micah Malenfant for years. He eventually expressed dissatisfaction with Seaside and departed to launch a private practice, suggesting I transition with him to ensure continuity of care. It was only after I moved to his private practice that Seaside suddenly claimed my final appointment was not covered by insurance, leaving me with a substantial balance. Ever since I prioritized continuing care with my long-term provider, they have treated me poorly regarding this balance. Years later, Mr. Malenfant began abruptly ignoring my communications right when my long-standing prescription renewals were due. After failing to submit my refills or respond to me for over a week, his eventual reply was vague and failed to disclose that his private practice had closed and he was forced to return to Seaside. He subsequently emailed asking if I was available on a specific date to figure out my treatment; I confirmed my availability immediately, but heard nothing back. Rather than professionally addressing the disruption to my care or providing a clear explanation, he sent extensive, highly unprofessional emails detailing his own personal issues and life crises. While I wish hardship on no one and hope he receives any care he may need, a provider cannot operate this way while managing patients. Shortly after apologizing and promising to work things out, his final message stated he would simply no longer respond to me. Both the facility and Micah Malenfant demonstrate severe unprofessionalism, prioritizing balance collection over patient safety and mental health. Navigating healthcare is difficult enough, and no one deserves to experience this level of neglect. If management takes accountability and resolves these issues appropriately, I will gladly remove this post, as I have no desire to criticize anyone unfairly. Until then, please stay away for your own mental health and safety.

I never feel rushed when I see him and he always answers my questions and then some. I can't say, however, that I like the rest of this practice. The front end staff have been rude on more than one occasion and difficult when trying to make appointments. They are especially difficult when calling to speak with a nurse. They act like they are doctors and you are bothering them. I'm also not a huge fan of the other doctors and NP's who work here. Kathleen McKeon is quite standoffish and quick to get you out the door. Dr. Kim, who I have had to see a few times when my doctor was unavailable was the worst. Every appointment with her was a complete waste of time, with no resolution or answers. She refuses to give a referral to a specialist even though she can't figure out a diagnosis. She wasted months of my time when I had an urgent circulatory matter (a blood clot) that actually required an emergent CT scan with IV contrast. I didn't know it at the time, when I went to see her that it was a blood clot. Only after going to a quick care and getting a referral to a vascular surgeon was I told what it was. I will never take an appointment with her again and if you have anything out of the ordinary going on, I recommend you see another doctor. Would rate this practice lower, but I really love Dr Kazimierczak!

Dr. Alvarez is very professional, nice, and really listens to your problems and concerns. I can't say for the other doctors there because I've only seen Dr. Alvarez. Kathy, one of many medical assistant at that practice, is so sweet and professional. The front desk staff as a whole are nice, but there's one receptionist that needs to work on her attitude. Every time I've checked in with her, she's just very snippy. Maybe she's having a bad day, but I've checked in with her more than five times so I'm not so sure. However, don't let that deter you because the care there is exceptional and they'll do whatever they can to facilitate your needs. If you are a Mercy patient, sign up with Follow My Health. All you have to do is ask the front desk receptionist to get you signed up. Once you do that, there's an app on your mobile device that is free to download and it's super convenient. I use it to schedule appointments, email my doctor, and update my health history.
