She was VERY patient and answered MOST of my questions, but there were questions noted by the nurse that I simply forgot about until after the appointment. No big deal, just noted.

This was a first visit with Dr. Lowdermilk since my former primary physician retired in July. She was very professional, but very attentive and concerned about addressing any issues I had with my health. I really liked her and am so pleased that she is my new primary physician.

My poor experiences with this are related to, inability to access medical advise. Waiting days for a response. MA being confused and not passing on messages. Low staffing, I know due to covid but it has a negative impact on care.

I felt comfortable, relaxed. Never rushed. Provider wanted to hear all that's been going on in my life. Had very helpful suggestions concerning pain management and pain relieving gels for my knee. Suggested physical therapy which I declined. Ordered an X-ray and possible MRI.

For a first visit with a new doctor, I was very pleased with the time she spent with me. My doctor retired and it was a long wait to get an appointment with a new doctor but luckily I had no health issues during the 3 month wait.

Other than a little bit longer wait to go in to start my appointment everyone was kind and understanding when asking how much longer and then once I was in and started the visit it just wiped it all away because this doctor is so kind very good at listening and understanding I just can't say enough about how awesome she is!

When I read the report from my blood work, I was surprised to learn that this doctor only sees patients two days a week. We are new patients for her, but this seems extreme.

Dr. Lowdermilk seems like a good physician but looks like she has to many patients and is dealing with her own health issues at the moment. I need an internist, but your clinic only give me one choice for one and he was male. i want a female internist.

I know that doctors are overloaded right now, and I really appreciate the time Dr. Lowdermilk took to go over my health concerns and followed up with me when my test results came back. I also like that she has me schedule my next appointment when I leave so I know exactly when I'm going back and what we'll go over in the next appointment.

Dr. Lowdermilk didn't seem willing to take initiative to address my medical issues. When I identified I was still experiencing significant pain or discomfort in lower abdomen after sepsis and ruptured gall bladder, she didn't say or di anything. When I said my bones hurt, she did nothing. When I said I was gaining weight again but my insurance denied any nutritional help, she couldn't even provide some basic calorie and or min nutritional guidelines She sort of offered 1 weight loss medication but made it sound so terrible and expensive, I just said forget it. I just walked out of the office completely determined to find a new PCP and clinic as svcs have been terrible.

I am extremely happy with my provider and I feel good about her care for me. She takes extreme care in what my needs are for my physical and mental health issues. My overall experience with Legacy Health since I switched from other heath groups I feel Legacy has been the best care and choice for me. With out Legacy Health I believe I would not be getting the proper care that I need today. Especially when living as a senior and on disability SSI. Legacy has helped me with need of food and also with mental health issues. Legacy shows nothing but compassion and kindness and with professionalism that to me shows how much Legacy Health really cares even the Hospital and Special dr's and Surgeons in my past history has the best care ever. I will never go back to Providence or OHSU poor past experience with those were not for me. Thank You Legacy for not only saving my life. But for also saving my Partners life several years ago. He almost died you saved his life I am forever grateful for that.

While Dr. Lowdermilk was great, the while experience for both my kids was terrible. We had recently switched to Dr. Lowdermilk as our new primary care physician, with the understanding that she was part of a children's clinic. This was incredibly confusing as we walked into the building and there was absolutely nothing to draw kids attention, help with wait time, nothing child oriented. We waited at least 15 minutes to be seen, as we went through the appointment it was clear that staff wasn't entirely ready. Certain materials took longer to find such as the audiology exam machine, it took a while to get the vaccines ready, and it seemed as if the eye exam was something new to the person helping us. All in all, from the time we started our appointment to the time we left was two hours! With nothing to help children to be comfortable, relaxed, feel safe in this environment. I have since learned that you guys are not part of the children's clinic, which is clear now, but very confusing. I would much prefer to be In a clinic that works directly with children and provides an environment of courtesy and friendliness and warmth to help the experience. Not to mention more timeliness. Again, Dr. Lowdermilk was great but the whole experience itself was not.

Her help was confusing and I left not understanding what was wrong with me. I felt like her explainations were not clear. She rambled and explained about a condition she had, that she was clear wasn't what I had. I have seen this doctor 3 times I would not refer anyone to her. She is extremely difficult to contact. I was told she doesn't do Zoom appointments and doesn't like using the health care message center. I left several messages for her in the message center and never received an answer. These are tools that are being wasted. At my last visit I asked her "how should I contact you?" call and leave a message......I am currently looking for a new Dr.

I enjoyed my time with the doctor. She took the time to discuss all my questions and was friendly and logical. I was surprised how limited the physical checks were. I am used to a physical being a thorough exam. Maybe that has changed due to covid.

I have a very unique name. I always love it when the receptionist takes the time to write down how you pronounce my name so the MA can pronounce it correctly and so can the doctor. My name is important to me and this extra effort makes me feel welcomed in a space, especially one that I am anxious about. I would also include pronouns to be come inclusive

I usually like seeing my provider she just seemed really invested in her own worries and bot really cared or put any info about mine .I did tell her I was having trouble sleeping all she recommended was tylenol pm which I told her I had tried in the past and has not worked and she didnt give me a soultion for ut. I was actually really disappointed this time with my meeting with her.

Even though I live quite far (a 2-hour drive)... I prefer this medical clinic over others I have been to in the past. My only issue would be is that my medical records from years ago from a different practice wasn't transferred to Legacy. I will be updating my doctor at my next visit with the past medical file I have kept.

I felt this provider presented the recommendations respectfully, listened to my concerns and was very respectful when I chose options that were NOT what she recommended. I was never pushed or made to feel less valid because I chose to refuse an invasive procedure due to concerns about risks associated with that procedure.
