I'm losing muscle mass and Dr. Cosgrove refuses to refer me to the staff dietitian so I can be placed on supplemental nutritional shakes. If I'm not referred by Friday I'm filing a com with the Washington State Medical Board. You go to Compass to stay as healthy as possible and all they want to do is make me sicker.

If anything seems off I go get it checked. I've had breast exam experience from Ashland Oregon all the way to Vancouver Washington. I've met or known too many ladies that endured the things that breasts are capable of doing. They demand attention. It's a shame not everyone gets breast care. It's easier here now than ever. This location is my favorite. The staff here are excellent and extremely conscientious. No rush no fuss all aware of the situation we face. It's much like Pap smears, no fun let's make the best of it. But here at the Kearney Breast center it's so much nicer. Breast exams will likely never be fun nor pleasant. But they are far nicer to get here. I wish Kaiser had something like this! Atmosphere, staff, care, service ..all A+ Thank you Kearney Breast Center for being so awesome!

When I first arrived I was anxious and feeling like a train wreck. At this point I'd lost 9 pounds…read moreover a week from severe hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) and was desperate for fluids and food. HG is a pregnancy condition where the nausea is so bad, that it prevents you from keeping down even sips of fluid or small bites of saltines. Many women end up hospitalized, frequent flyers at the ER and needing major care to stay healthy and have a healthy pregnancy. After a trip to the ER myself and getting fully diagnosed after testing and IV's, my OBGYN made a plan for me that included coming here every 2-3 days for IV infusions. They include a liter of lactated ringers and a liter of lactated ringers loaded with essential daily and prenatal vitamins and IV medicine. To say I was anxious was an understatement. But the staff here from front desk check in, pre-treatment vitals and treatment are truly wonderful. Everyone is so caring and empathetic, knowledgeable and professional. You start to see the same patients coming and going and it's really great to see the relationships between them and the nurses. Names are remembered, what was last talked about, sincere care. I've also been anxious about getting IV's, as they tend to hurt now which I'm not used to. But as my IV nurse best friend said, normally veins are plump and easy to access but mine are flat and dehydrated. The nurses here have been really great at giving heat pads, cuffs and using gravity to get my veins to pop out just enough. And we have enough between my arms and hands to be able to alternate without needing a midline or piccline (thank goodness). What to expect ..... you walk into building 2 and they have a little desk who screens everyone who enters. They'll ask if you have any flu symptoms and do a laser gun temperature check. You'll get a sticker with the date and the word "screened" on it to wear, if you pass. Then you head into room 140, to the right and down the hall. You check in with the nurse and let them know when you took which medications last, they'll also ask if you've had a covid test within the last 2 weeks. Then you take a seat and wait to get called back. Once a nurse comes to grab you, they'll weigh you, take your blood pressure/vitals and temp. Afterwards, you'll head back to the actual IV area, which has chairs and privacy barriers between each chair. There is a huge desk/nurse station and then the chairs border it. So that eyes are always on you to make sure you're lines are doing well and you're being well cared for. Once you sit, they offer warm blankets and pillows for your head or IV arm to rest on. The chairs themselves are like lazy boys, they recline almost flat and the leg section pops up for you. They also have various snacks to offer. Graham crackers, saltines, peanut butter and Tillamook cheese. Cup of noodles if you're feeling extra hungry. Sodas, juices and water. Mid-infusion I'm usually able to eat some saltines with the cheddar cheese, which always tastes amazing, especially if I've been throwing up all night waiting to get to my next infusion. If you have to use the bathroom, they can unplug your machine which has a battery in it, then you can wheel your whole IV tower into the bathroom with you. Everything is as comfortable as they can possibly make it. Which is great, as I need to start coming in 3 times a week now. Which means I'll be seeing these nurses more than anyone outside of my household. For cleanliness, it's a hospital facility. It doesn't get much more brightly lit and clean than this place. There are also hand sanitizers every where and sterilized pens at check in, so no community reuse items, aside from door handles. All in all, I couldn't be happier with my care here. I think you will feel the same, too. Come here with confidence and feel better! Also, personal tips. Bring something cozy where your sleeve can roll up without being tight, or something to drape over your shoulders and uppers arms. My IV arm always gets really cold, so having that layer of insulation really helps keep the shivering down. If you didn't get good sleep and plan to nap, bring an eye mask, as it's really bright in the room. I also bring my own added blanket, as it's a little thicker. The room is a bit chilly to start with and getting 2 liters of cold IV pumped into you, does wonders for dropping your body temp. Also, the IV machines beep pretty often around the room, things like needing the change the IV bag or the bag is done. So at various points of your stay, you'll hear multiple IV machine beep alarms going off. Bring ear plugs if you're going to try to nap. Or if you're exhausted enough, perhaps you'll just sleep through them. If you plan on staying awake, bring some sort of book or activity to keep entertained. I see a lot of patients with headphones and movie watching going on. You're also welcome to bring your own snacks, too.

I appreciated that she didn't poke me more than twice, as the bruising after is horrid for me (I literally look like a junkie) All nurses are caring and they look after you. I was initially assisted by Elena and she was the most wonderful. If you have to get done infusions on the regular I recommend to have an "infusion bag" that contains a nice blanket, some snacks, electrolyte drink/sticks, water bottle and a battery pack for your electronics. PS: be sure to wash that blanket after each session!

I have previously experienced the benefits of acupuncture (about 3-4 years ago). If you're new -- it really is a powerful tool in naturally healing your body from trauma (physical and mental/emotional). I am so glad I researched and found Dr. Chiu because he is the best acupuncturist out there. There are not many folks I revere, but Dr. Chiu is one of them. He is highly intelligent in both eastern and western cultural medicine. He knew what I was talking about when I mentioned the book (The Body Keeps the Score) because he's read it also. He is trauma informed, research based, and most importantly compassionate in learning about your experiences; and resolving the root of the problems you are experiencing. If you are at a dead end with your mental health/gut issues or any other physical ailments then please seek out Dr. Chiu--this man is so kind, gentle and skilled in his expertise. I am so happy to have him onboard my transformative experience in healing my body. I appreciate all the care and thoughtfulness he puts into his appointments with me; and hope others can experience the luxury of relaxation as well.

They have been flexible and accommodating to every single need I had and have truly made a frightening difficult and life changing experience as mom life changing as possible! It isn't possible for the quality of care to be better in every way, from reception to scheduling to care staff to doctors I feel like they are absolutely the best . So far I show no signs of cancer, nothing short of miraculous and considering all things was so incredibly blessed to have received care from then but also to have known these special, wonderful people there. I can honestly say without each and every one in this team, the scheduler Tina, support & nursing staff, especially SJ, the lab personnel, infusion nurses, radiation techs, Drs. Salinas and Cook, their PAs, reception, educational staff and palliative care PA's all took me in as family because they have all personally been "touched" by cancer, I would not have made it as easily as I did.

Have been coming here annually for my mammography ever since they opened. On the first floor in the…read moreNorth Tower is the Providence Safeway Foundation Breast Center, which has been designated The Breast Imaging Center of Excellence by seeking and earning accreditation in all of the American College of Radiology's voluntary breast-imaging accreditation programs and modules, in addition to the mandatory Mammography Accreditation Program. In addition to the latest technology and equipment, the Center has created an environment and process that makes the experience as stress free as possible. For many women, and men, it's not the actual exam that is painful, but the anxiety and fear one experiences until they receive the results. To minimize the stress, they are prompt with appointments so you are not left waiting in the main lobby. Once the attendant comes to get you, you are brought into a smaller waiting area, given a heated robe so when you undress from the waist up, you are enveloped in warmth. They provide a locker with key for your clothes and purse. There are comfy chairs, magazines, coffee & tea and a bathroom in this area. Once you have changed into a robe, you are taken into a private room for imaging. The process from the time I entered the office on the first floor of the North Tower, had the exam and left, was 30 minutes. The radiologist reviews images the next day. If they detect anything at all that seems suspicious, they call. Otherwise you receive a letter in the mail within 2 weeks, with a copy to your doctor. Conveniently located right next to Providence with the entrance on NE 48th, you can valet park and use the main entrance or park your car in the attached lot and take the skybridge on the 2nd floor, which will keep you dry & warm. You then take the elevator down to first floor and the Breast Center is to the right, down the hall. There are lots of other oncology offices in this building. When you walk in on the first floor, there is an information desk, but I find it more helpful to ask your doctor's office for specifics on their location so you know where you are heading. The building is bright, clean and has a modern flair. I highly recommend this facility.

I felt like my personal information was laid to bare for the entire lobby to hear.

This encounter was completely void of any concern for my privacy and well-being! And the two combative receptionists certainly don't belong in any job dealing with patients or the public; they'd be better suited for jobs as prison guards!

My surgeon ordered the test only to find the benefit of chemo for me was zero. Yes, zero. This man would have administered poisonous drugs to me for 6 months, devastating my life and my business.

He comes in to the office and introduces himself and tells you that you can call him Dan. He's not hung up on the whole Dr. thing. Yes, we all know he's a doctor but he's a regular guy too. I like that about him. We worked on many therapies for my DVT and finally as of today, I've been released from his care. However, I told him he's still part of the team. As I joked it takes a team of doctors to keep me going. I felt like he knew what he was doing and what therapies to try. He's an oncologist as well as a hematologist. Most cancer doctors also know their blood work as well. One thing is you have to keep checking back for your results. They will not often call you with them. So, if I had to improve in an area it would be there. Highly recommend.

THEY WILL NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR PAIN.... I was a breast cancer…read morepatient of theirs and two months into my chemotherapy developed horribly life-altering reaction to the chemo (Paclitaxel). My feet and hands were numb until I would step on something or brush anything up against the tips of my toes or my fingers. Quality of life was zero. When I tried to get them to help me, they pretty much ignored my pain. They didn't do anything. I'm hold that cancer doctors are supposed to help with your pain to keep you from suffering and to allow you to be able to continue your treatment. Well I didn't get anything like that. I even refused treatment because I couldn't take any more pain from the cumulative effect of the chemo. It wasn't until today, one month after refusing treatments and putting in a referral request to go to the Knight Center with OHSU that they called and offered me an appointment with their Dr Windler, because they were concerned about my pain. Not after the first refusal of treatment, nor the second or third. Only when I requested to be transferred somewhere else did they offer me an appointment. I cannot believe how badly I have suffered. And even though it's been 4 weeks since I had treatment I am still suffering. The neuropathy and numbness continue. I can only hope my new doctor will be more understanding. Avoid this place at all costs. They're more concerned with how they look and what they can get from you and not how you actually feel as a human being going through chemotherapy. They even kept reporting in my medications file all the things that they gave me before and during chemo treatment and the chemotherapy that I received. And they even did that for the days I refused treatment and was not there. They scam you. Ridiculous.
