I would highly recommend Dr. Richard Fisher at Providence Medical Center in Sherwood. After months…read moreof testing at the Gastroenterology of Oregon, and no diagnosis or pain relief, I was referred by my MD (Dr. R. Neborsky who is excellent) to see Dr. Fisher. He listened - REALLY listened to my symptoms. I had long suspected it was my gall bladder, despite a previous negative HIDA scan. After a laprascopic procedure to remove it, lo and behold - it was an unhealthy gall bladder! My pain and many other nasty symptoms have gone, and I have a quality of life back again. So, if you want to see a professional Surgeon who treats you with respect and dignity, make an appointment with Dr. Fisher. Jenni B Lake Oswego, Oregon.

A manager, in fact, was the one who said it was okay, along with a nurse. When I went in today, with the same exact information, they told me that it was not proper documentation. I let them know that my spouse was in yesterday with the voters registration and they let him donate. They said I still couldn't because they won't take the voters registration. I asked even if the manager approved it, and they said no. They just stared at me as I was telling them why I needed to donate, that im disabled and cant work. They made me fell less than, and frustrated. No kindness or empathy at all. This is ridiculous and not okay. I feel discriminated against, as my (male) spouse was approved, but not (female) me. Not right! I hope that this place actually addresses this issue. DO BETTER! 08/10 update: I called the number left below on Aug 2nd and left a message. I called again the next day and a very empathetic person took my call and went above and beyond to take my statement and info and reassured me that this was not okay and that it would be passed to a supervisor and I would get a call back... Well, its been a week and NOTHING! I'm not surprised, as their customer service was awful at the location, they must have got the, "I dont care about customers" attitude from their higher-ups. This place is a joke. They cant even return a call, let alone treat others with a bit of respect! CSL Plasma, you cant do better, can you? 08/11 update: Got the paperwork they specifically said, went into donate at 3pm (they close at 7pm)and was told I couldn't (AGAIN) because they aren't taking new donors today. WTF!?! I understand you're short staffed, AND that's your job! You still have to do it. Or at least update your clients before they waist their time and money trying to get there. Side note, this was the same person that denied me before... DISCRIMINATION? (Scruffy brown hair and beard, I believe his name is Jessie.) So I called the number, again, and their office is closed. ‍ Left a call back number, doubt they will call me back. I'll keep updating.

Donating Doesn't Have to Be Scary…read more For many people, donating blood--whether it's plasma, platelets, or red cells--can feel intimidating. A lot of that fear comes from not fully understanding the process. When you don't know what to expect, it's easy to feel uneasy. That's completely normal. The good news is that once you see how everything works step by step, the experience becomes much more manageable--and often even rewarding. --- My Experience I donate blood every eight weeks and have been doing so for just over three years. For the past two years, I've been going to the same location, and that consistency has made a big difference. From the staff to the facility itself, everything is designed to help you feel comfortable and supported. --- Step-by-Step: What to Expect 1. Check-In & Questionnaire When you arrive, the process starts with a simple check-in. You'll complete a questionnaire that ensures you're healthy and safe to donate. This step is important--it's all about protecting both you and the recipient. 2. Friendly, Supportive Staff Once you're checked in, the staff guides you through the next steps. They're not just professional--they're kind, patient, and genuinely attentive. They take time to talk with you, answer questions, and make sure you're feeling okay. You're not just another appointment to them--they treat you like a person. 3. Clean & Comfortable Environment The facility itself is clean, organized, and welcoming. Even small details--like easy parking and a calm atmosphere--help reduce stress before you even begin. 4. The Donation Process During the donation, the staff is careful and gentle. They explain what they're doing and check in with you regularly to make sure you're comfortable. If you're nervous, they'll notice--and they'll help ease that anxiety. --- They Truly Care One of the biggest things that stands out is how much the staff cares. They don't rush you. They don't dismiss your concerns. They take the time to connect, even through small conversations about your day or your life. That human connection makes a big difference. --- After Your Donation Once you're done, you're encouraged to rest for a few minutes. Many places even offer snacks and drinks, which helps you recover and gives you a moment to relax before heading out. It's a small touch, but it shows they're thinking about your well-being from start to finish. --- Final Thoughts Donating blood might seem scary at first--but when you understand the process and have a supportive team guiding you, it becomes a positive and meaningful experience. You're not just getting through something uncomfortable--you're helping save lives. And that's something to feel good about. Photos were not allowed

I've been coming here consistently for a little over a year now, and it genuinely feels like I'm stopping by to hang out with friends who just happen to take some blood from me and feed me snacks. Everyone here is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and what really stands out is how familiar and sincere the staff are with each other and with donors. There's clearly very little turnover, and it shows. People know your name, greet you like you're a regular, and actually seem to enjoy being there. It gives big "Cheers" vibes, but with juice boxes. I've donated whole blood many times here and platelets as well, and every experience has been smooth and comfortable. The staff are professional, have steady hands, and make the process easy and not stressful at all. Brittany and Abby are two names I remember, but honestly every single person I've interacted with has been wonderful. I've never once left thinking, "I hope I don't get that person next time." Quite the opposite. I never thought I'd describe donating blood as a fun experience, but here we are. If you're going to do something good for the world, you might as well do it somewhere that makes you feel appreciated and comfortable. Wonderful humans!

This review is for the office and total patient experience, as I have not ever seen Dr. Bilstrom. I…read moreknow they recently changed ownership or practitioner or whatever, and so we had to re-establish care (and pay AGAIN for the intake visit). However, every step of the way has been frustrating, confusing, and poorly run. First, to schedule an appointment was incredibly frustrating because she would not let me book without knowing if my insurance was in network. So I had to hang up and literally spend 45 minutes trying to verify they were in network with my own insurance even when I told her on the website it looked like it was. I also spent a solid 15 minutes on the phone with her going over all my insurance information and she claimed it was in my account now. When I get to the appointment, I AGAIN have to give my insurance information. They made it a point to ask me for it again, and asked me to send them the card to their email etc etc. which makes sense but they said they didnt have the information at all! The appointment itself was uncomfortable because they have a very cheap little blood pressure machine that takes SO long to read that my arm actually went painfully numb. I am a nurse myself and I know a bad machine when I see one. My blood pressure typically runs 95/55 (or close to). This machine pumped my arm up so high on the cuff, into the solid 200's and then slowly trickled down over what felt like an eternity. There is NO way you get an accurate BP with a machine like that, and its not wonder why after minutes of pain, my blood pressure read 120/70, which appears textbook normal but is actually high for me. Then I go to pay for my intake appointment and they can not provide receipts. They got my email and said I would get an emailed receipt, which I promptly never did (still waiting 3 weeks later). I DID however, get a bill in the mail which does not reflect the amount I paid that day, and now I have spent 3 days trying to get ahold of the billing department. I kept giving this clinic a shot. On my second appointment when I walked in, lo and behold, I was asked AGAIN for my insurance information??? Do they seriously not have it? I not only gave it to you on the phone, but also wrote it on my intake paperwork (in TWO different spots btw), emailed you a copy, and here we still are. She couldnt find the email, so I had to email it again. What a mess. After my allergy test, I was told I would be getting information on the cost for treatment in the coming weeks. I have not heard a thing, which is understandable as sometimes insurances take forever. However, I did start receiving incessant texts and emails about a prescription that I received, which the doctor totally failed to mention she would be prescribing. While waiting for one of my appointments, a gentleman arrived to check in for his appointment, and when he did, he was told he needed to pay his balance. He was so confused and said to the lady, "I've been coming here for 4 years, I have never paid a cent. Why do I have a balance now out of nowhere?" So it is not just me that is stuck in a messy situation. They seem to be a mess. This clinic is disorganized and it makes for a very awful experience. The actual medical care is mediocre. I do not recommend.
