Patient Rating
Legacy wants every patient to have great care, every time. To help measure and improve patient satisfaction, we send surveys to randomly selected patients after their appointments. We use this feedback from the surveys to improve and enhance the care we offer. It works like this: Real patients give us feedback through Press Ganey, a patient satisfaction survey company. They verify and confirm the results. National Research Corporation, an independent company, provides the technology to show the ratings and comments on our website

On the whole Dr. Slack is a very good doctor. However I'm very frustrated in the fact that I had to request blood test for Hashimoto's and when it was confirmed there was no follow on for what could or should be done about Hashimoto's.

I love her collaborative style, how relatable she is, while maintaining professional boundaries. I never feel like she dismisses my concerns or is rushing through the exam. She's totally worth the drive from [location removed].

Dr Slack is an excellent, caring, and special physician and person. She has been my doctor for a decade. The BEST physician I have had bar none. She is why I use Legacy. And a word too about Dr Slack's assistant; Shannon is terrific. She models Dr Slack's professional but personally caring attitude. They make a great team.

I am in the process of moving to [location removed]. My son has suggested that I need to find a doctor closer to home. I told him that I can't imagine finding a doctor anywhere else who shows the respect and understanding I receive from Dr. Slack. She knows my affinity for alternative/integrative medicine and works with it. I deeply appreciate her acceptance that I have a team of doctors who inform my decisions and that Western medicine is only one viewpoint I consider when making decisions. At the same time, I have great respect for the knowledge and wisdom she brings. I will happily cross the bridge to remain a patient of hers.

This was my very first visit to get set up as a patient. I called in January and couldn't get in until May which I thought was too long, [details deleted to protect privacy]. Other than the long wait because I was a "new" patient, I am very glad I chose Dr. Slack.

Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
My provider seems to know her stuff. That being said, she always seems rushed, doesn't quite have the level of care and concerns I need, is charting but not completely listening. I like her but more as a person than my doctor.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
I have complex medical conditions and Dr Slack does an exceptional job staying informed and helping me manage my prescriptions and specialists. She steps in when necessary to make sure my specialists are communicating - which isn't easy!

My visit was great.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
My appointment was at 5:15, the front desk staff called day of saying I need to be there at lest 20 minutes before my appointment, which seemed more than normal. After I arrived and checked in at 4:55, the front desk staff went around and locked the doors and without saying anything to me left for for the weekend, leaving me in the reception area alone. I was very confused about who to go to if I had questions or concerns and was concerned about the security since I could have gone behind the counter and no one would have know. This seems like a patience security risk to leave patience unattended with the front desk accessible and a safety concern if someone were to have a medical emergency.

not a fan of surveys and how every business does them. do they really add value? that being said, I was willing to do the survey because I really like Dr. slack and appreciate the healthcare she provides.

This was first visit. I expected it to be for wellness exam. It was not, but I'm ok as I had a hip and knee issue that needs to be addressed.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
I really appreciate the people there. Allison was the person who kicked off my visit (nurse? PA?)She was awesome. And then I always love seeing Dr. Slack because she takes a lot of time and really listens. I have actually recommended her to several people, and I found out about her because so many of my friends see her and recommend her.

this was a new patient appointment, I am extremely happy to have Dr. Slack as my new primary care dr. She listens, and communicates on a level I understand and can relate too.

The appointment purpose was to establish a primary doctor. I was incredibly impressed with everything from the curtesy and helpfulness of the people out front, to the doctor's assistant, to the Doctor. I wish I could convince people in my own company to provide the level of prompt, courteous, respectful and effective service.

Dr. Slack has been my PCP for more than 10 yrs.! She is the best provider (& I have many!), that's why I followed her from Cascade Physicians to Legacy, even changing my insurance plan to allow for continued coverage.

Dr. Slack & her staff are amazing. They are always helpful (via phone or in person) when I have questions. I specifically chose my insurance provider just so Dr. Slack could continue as my primary care physician. I really trust her & feel like she was my best interests in mind when I see her.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
The people at both Legacy Medical Group Emanuel & Broadway are always very kind and understanding to ALL my needs.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
I prefer practices that match an MA to a physician so I can work with the same MA either through the portal or on the phone. It's just as important for them to know patients. I've wasted a lot of time having to re-educate a different MA either on the phone or in the office.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Dr Slack is excellent, always look forward to seeing her!!!
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
It was a good visit, Not good nor bad.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
As always at Legacy, the wait time was abysmal. It was 45 minutes before my name was called, and after seeing the assistant, another 10 minutes before the doctor came in. Beyond the annoyance and waste of time, people do have to work during the day, and an additional hour on a mid-day appointment isn't trivial. I detailed several concerns to the doctor--not life threatening or anything, but of definite concern to me--that were treated with a cookie-cutter routine template response that pretty much ignored facts the doctor knew (or should have known, because I had just told her) about my lifestyle.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
I've been a patient of Dr. Slack for many years. she always makes me feel comfortable even when discussing potentially serious matters. she listens carefully and inquires for better understanding. when needed, she makes appropriate referrals to other specialists but keeps in touch on any health issue under evaluation. I've moved out of the area, but will continue to drive to Portland to see her.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
I like to communicate with my providers via email on the Legacy website. This provider and others have been very responsive to inquiries, etc. A good alternative to the phone.
