Sometimes emergencies or rush situations happen and scheduling medical transport with wheelchair capability can be a serious hassle since most transport requires advanced scheduling and planning. COMPARISONS - Sadly many insurance don't cover non-emergency medical transport. Getting old isn't cheap and medical transport isn't either, compared to other similar services ANEMT rates are average to a little better. MetroWest transport is the most popular and great, but they are constantly booked at least 1-2 days out or 5-10 hours for same day. MetroWest also has stair capable wheelchairs and stretchers by request and door to door service. TriMet offers basic medical transport for fairly cheap via shuttle, but they don't offer door to door so you'll need someone to push if the chair isn't motorized and electric. Uber and Lyft have wheelchair capable vehicles, but again, no door to door service and requires advanced scheduling. Interestingly Kaiser Washington State insurance covers non-emergency transport, but not in Oregon. Above and beyond - Along with being able to respond quickly with door to door service, they helped with transferring inside the home to and from the wheelchair. Aways super nice and friendly guys. Easy pay via credit card through a tex message link or over the phone. Have questions, be sure to ask, they are very helpful and accommodating. Good service, responsive, fast and better pricing than most. Thanks for taking good care of our family.

WARNING!! Do not bring your senior or weaker loved ones to Providence Hospital in Portland,…read moreOregon-the doctors and ethics committee appear invested in unaliving them. After making ageist comments about our father (he was a very young and active 80 year-old) and reminding us several times, as an excuse for why they weren't invested in continuing life-lengthening care, that he had been in and out of hospitals over a handful of months, the nephrologists and a cardiologist got together with a representative of the hospital's ethics committee and decided to allow him to die. Indeed, our father had been to hospitals several times. He was on a journey to discover why his legs were swollen. The doctors treated him with kidney-damaging diuretics (Lasix), which acutely (temporarily) damaged our father's kidneys, prednisone (which damaged his skin), and gave him a medication for destroying his immune system, as they incorrectly assumed he had an autoimmune issue without first confirming this diagnosis. Destroying your immune system apparently prevents it from attacking the body in an autoimmune issue, but it allows you to be more predisposed to getting infections or not fighting them. Our father did finally gain an accurate diagnosis: a very manageable form of leukemia that doesn't shorten life, if managed, which, after his correct leukemia diagnosis, he was doing. The side effects from the medications he was incorrectly prescribed during his hospital visits caused additional hospital visits, as the side effects were worse than the leukemia and leukemia treatment (which he was tolerating beautifully). While hospitalized for the side effects from the incorrect medications the hospitals gave him, he obtained infections such as RSV, C Diff, and a bladder infection. Due to my father's physical issues from the side effects of the medications, the doctors at Providence decided to not provide life-saving treatment and instead wanted to give him pain medication to lessen the effects of the death sentence they decided for him; otherwise known as "comfort care." We argued that dialysis could be an option as his biggest issue was fluid accumulation in his body. Providence's nephrologist said no, but when we asked for a second opinion, the second nephrologist said she would give him two weeks on dialysis only. We worried about this as it sounded like they would "pull the plug" after two weeks no matter how our father was doing. The dialysis was very effective. My father began recovering. His blood work revealed steady progress, which we were monitoring. He was chipper and not in any pain but also very worried, like we were, that the hospital would "pull the plug" on him as they had threatened by saying they would only give him two weeks of dialysis. We searched for how we could get him needed continued care after the two weeks and discovered that the state of Oregon shut down all long-term care facilities in the state. It would appear Oregon doesn't value the life of anyone who might need long-term care. The closest long-term care facility was in Seattle, Washington. We were ready to have our father moved to Seattle, Washington, if needed. While at Providence hospital, our father's kidneys showed signs of improvement, as he urinated with the appropriate color. On the last day of his two weeks allotted for dialysis, the hospital gave him a pill form of a medication that helped to stabilize his blood pressure so he could tolerate dialysis, which lowers your blood pressure while being treated, instead of the correct IV form of the same medication. The hospital admitted that the pill wasn't as effective or helpful as the IV version of the same medication, which our father was previously getting. Thus, on the last day of the two weeks of dialysis, his blood pressure dropped too low to safely continue. The nephrologist known as "Dr. K" let us know that she was going to let our father die. She refused to allow our father to again be on the IV medication that had worked for him which would allow him to continue dialysis. We argued with Dr. K on behalf of my father that if his blood pressure improved, would she allow our father to continue dialysis? She said if his blood pressure improved, she would okay it. We asked our father if he had seen a cardiologist while at Providence, and he said he hadn't. We got a cardiologist to review our father's chart, and she confirmed he could indeed continue on the IV form of the medication that effectively stabilized his blood pressure so he could continue dialysis. Even though our father's blood pressure was stabilized by the IV medication that was cleared by the cardiologist, Dr. K, would not allow him to continue the needed dialysis. According to the dialysis technicians, it takes a few weeks up to approximately three months for an acute kidney issue to heal. We were invested in giving our father that time. Providence Hospital was not. Upon learning that Dr. K would not continu

I've had several bad experiences at the Providence ER. The last time was especially bad. I had…read moreaccidentally taken the wrong amount of my medication and immediately went to the ER to seek help. Instead of calling poison control, I was rushed to the ICU where nurses spent all their efforts into convincing me that I had tried to harm myself. During this, I had four seizures before they decided to call Poison control to receive treatment instructions. Four seizures could have been prevented if they had called poison control immediately. I bit my tongue several times and bled profusely. They told me that my tongue will heal quickly, and refused to also treat that wound. It has not healed in almost a month. I had to see my primary care provider elsewhere to receive help. I felt neglected, as if they didn't really care. They weren't trying to treat me, but shove me in their mental health unit, when I had not tried to hurt myself. Their judgement of my character and actions was unwarranted and their actions felt harsh and punitive in nature. Eventually they called poison control and administered medication that would have effectively prevented this whole ordeal. I will never go back. All of the other hospitals in Portland are far better options with far better care that doesn't lack compassion and judgement by a very near sighted and uncaring staff. I am trying to not take this personal, and ruminate, but it was traumatic and embarrassing, and has led me to seek help in dealing with it. Thanks for reading and I hope you find this helpful in making decisions on where to seek care in an emergency.

The Good: The driver was incredibly friendly and chatty. He actually gave us some fantastic restaurant recommendations to check out while we celebrate my birthday here in Portland. The Bad: The interior of the car was quite smelly, which wasn't a great way to start the trip. The Unacceptable: We took the cab late at night (around 10:50 PM) with absolutely zero traffic. The 20-minute ride somehow racked up a $58 meter fare, which seemed unusually high even with the standard airport drop fee. However, the real issue happened at drop-off. I handed the driver a $100 bill, and he claimed he couldn't break it, returning only $30, essentially forcing the airport run to a whopping $70 out-of-pocket. While I appreciated the local dining tips, using the "no change" excuse on arriving airport passengers is an unprofessional way to pocket extra cash. Tip for future riders: If you take a cab from the PDX line, make sure you pay with a credit card or carry exact change so you don't get hit with a forced tip.
