I don't want to ram the clinician but they are ignoring my daughters symptoms. They have to be pushed to do anything. Obvious labs are changing for 10 months and then she decides, "oh, maybe we should do something about this." I'll be getting a lawyer if something happens to my daughter. One star is too good read more

i have never ever had to fill out an application to be seen at a drs office. then to get a call today that my application has been denied. with no explanation. is it because i am a diabetic, is it because i am having mini strokes in my brain. or because i just had spine surgery. i guess i am better off not getting approved since it looks like they are afraid to treat me. read more

My husband and I see Dawn O'connor in Salem. She is a fantastic provider and PCP. Not everyone will like all providers so you have to shop around and that of course is almost an impossible task. I hesitated in giving my PCP a review because I wanted her for myself and my friends. The office staff is efficient and friendly and there is very little wait time compared to other places I have been. When I had a problem and couldn't get in to see my PCP the office was able to get me in the Corvallis office which was a good experience also. read more

My mom was a patiend of Meva's and I thought she was a good provider and really cared about the best interest of my mom, until I didn't. I truely believe this clinic only wants money. I had two appointments last year scheduled for my mom, that they requested. Both appointments were canceled at the last minute, for whatever reason. I then had my own crisis and for the last six months I was out of commision. I am better now, and I called today to reschedule those cancelled appointments for my mom to see her primary health care provider and I was told they would not ever see her again. They said they tried to call me, and sent letters (which I didn't get), and for that reason they won't see my mom anymore. NO discussion, or explaination needed on my part. My mom is no longer a patient of theirs and they could not give me a referral to anohter doctor. They said there was no appeals or advocate to discuss the situation with. The owners of the clinic reviewed the case and becuase I didn't call them back when they called (they NEVER left a message saying this would happen) they don't want my mom to be a patient. I guess it's ok for them to cancel on us, but unacceptable for us to not return their calls. By the way, I reached out to them and they never called me back, but there was no mention of that when we spoke. So, I do not recomend this clinic to anyone who is looking. I don't feel my mom was of any value to them monitarily. Meva felt like a good fit, but becuase I didn't keep scheduling appointments and allowing them to cancel on us multiple times I am the problem and my mom is kicked out of the practice. read more

Mr. Gallup had ZERO bedside manners with me over the course of my many visits at Valley Clinics. There was no empathy from this man nor does he act in a kind nor friendly manner. I only needed a referral from him to see a kidney doctor (Just like I did in 2018 with a different Dr. and that Dr. referred me and I went straight to a kidney doctor with no tests or delays of any kind. I then had a major surgery to remove an oversized staghorn calculi) This same exact pain is here again and I am in fear everyday that it has grown back. When I asked Mr. Gallup for this referral he seemed like he was seeing dollar $ signs in me and then over the course of the next several months he confirmed my suspicion and was trying to diagnose me with many tests rather than just getting me to where I need/asked to go for further kidney care, he is only a general practitioner! ( I moved 20 minutes away and now out of my area for insurance to see my prior kidney doctor) Every step at this office was difficult, from making appointments to the last minute text reminders to arrive 15 minutes early (how about just make the appt when you want your people to arrive) to dirty looks and audible sighs at each visit, even down to the office canceling my appointments via a voicemail and then letting me do the footwork to rescheduling at a much later date. But if I was to do the canceling I would have been charged a fee for canceling, it's not fair. This all felt directed towards me and I am still trying to wrap my mind around why? Doctors I thought became healers to help the masses. So many strange occurrences over and over with this doctor. I went there like I said about a year ago for a kidney referral, which he never gave me and at the end stated I DIDN'T need to see a kidney doctor. WHAT?? He thinks that because several months later he took my bloodwork and discovered a UTI and I am not in need of a referral to a specialist and the pain was just from the infection? What he was okay with was a bunch of money making tests for his office to survive. I am still in pain and suffering from a kidney staghorn that is growing as I type, yet now I have to start all over for a kidney doctor referral from yet another GP. There is so much more that went wrong here yet I feel it falls with no recourse or discipline so what is the point ranting here? I do have to say, it is extremely hard to take the advice from a doctor that is not only rude but grossly overweight and doesn't take care of his own healthcare or appearance. What a way to waste a year of my life and a year's worth of growth from my staghorn calculi. This was simply unbelievable. What ever happened to good humans helping other humans for the sake of goodness, especially in healthcare? Our system at its finest, sadly. read more

Two years ago I became a new patient at Valley Clinic. I had become weary of the Corvallis Clinic system .... waiting too long to get an appointment; and then being rushed through a 15 minute visit. The switch to Valley Clinic was the right change for me. No long waits to see my doctor. And, when I did get in they took me on time without more than a five minute wait. The time spent with my doctor never felt rushed; and he was patient and helpful with all my questions and concerns. I wish I had made the move sooner. read more
