The doctor told me numerous times I looked like a hot mess. Informed her assistant I probably wouldn't give a urine sample as I was so dehydrated. I explained my pain and my concerns for my kidneys as not only do I have a kidney disease I have been a part of a study I am extremely familiar with things that can hurt them. She stated they've always been fine in the past. I felt insulted as currently I'm walking ataxic and forgetting where I am but previously I was good. I was send to a room to pee tho they knew I couldn't and still haven't. No pain meds for the pain I was asked to leave so I paid 40$ to be insulted and treated like I'll be fine. Refused lab work I asked for, refused pain meds. But got told what a hot mess I was and continued with poor bedside manor. I cried myself to sleep in pain and plan to see zoom care today which hopefully they believe in actually doing their job vs just treating someone like your 15minutes is up no more tests goodluck and bye .

As always, Dr. Root seems very interested in my health, both mental and physical. She asks questions and she listens carefully to my answers. She is positive and open about issues I may be having, but she is realistic and open about what I may need to do to feel better or continue with good health. She laughs and is extremely personable, but foremost she is all business regarding my symptoms and issues that need addressing. Absolutely the best overall practitioner I have worked with.

Leslie was a thoughtful and skilled provider. She spent over an hour reviewing my history and discussed subsequent tests to garner a baseline health assessment In a few key areas. I have just began new care with Legacy ( after 10 years with Kaiser ) and was impressed and grateful. Leslie Root is an asset to the Legacy system.

Dr Root has been my doctor for over 25 years. This was a Routine A1C visit with extra bloodwork for Cholesterol check. In addition, I received my annual Flu Shot and instructions for obtaining Shingles vaccination as well as the latest Covid Booster. Received a prompt call the following day with results of Cholesterol. Excellent service all around as always!

Let me sum up by saying I am grateful Legacy is now letting care done at the "patient's request." I think it would be wonderful now if they would not give out so many prescriptions fixing their side effect with another one & that insurance/pharmaceuticals had less restriction in a patient's care. I respect the medical profession but think somehow things have not gone in the right direction over the years. My heart goes out to staff in the pandemic.

Even though I waited more than 15 minutes for my appt, I was informed that there was an unexpected hold-up, and that the MD would be with me as soon as possible, which I believe she was.The reason my prescription med was not discussed in the last 3 months is because there was no need for me to contact the health care team in the last 3 months.
