The receptionist was NOT wearing a mask! Just a plastic shield, which does nothing to protect her or me! Yikes! What ignorance and also lack of administrative oversight!

My general paranoia is getting lab results on the "automatic" website before my doctor gets them or can call me about results; and then having to wait (especially on the weekend) to discuss results with doctor.

Compassionate, obviously knows her complex field well, spent ample time, made me feel confident in her as my surgeon. Greatly appreciated that her MA got me in immediately. very impressed overall with care, from mammography, ultrasound, radiology to all clerks. my first encounter with a Portland Legacy facility as a patient.
Physician and all staff were polite and courteous.
