This was my first entry into the Legacy system, so there is no history to reflect, but I was very pleased with Ms. Paul and her approach to my health. She understood my natural medicine approach and was good about clarifying my wishes on how to proceed with the conditions I have and asking if I was OK with her suggestions. I am happy to have her as my PCP, even though I've only had one visit with her. The suggestions she made were done with respect, and I like her way of stepping through possible ways to solve the problems I am experiencing toward discovery of solutions, one at a time. I look forward to working more with her.

I travel miles to receive my health care from Salmon Creek Legacy, and it is definitely worth the time. The office staff and medical providers are alway polite, professional and helpful. I needed an appointment and was able to receive one the next morning, although I was not able to see my regular Doctor I saw Melissa Paul.Melissa was knowledgeable, attentive and caring. She treated me as I was her only patient of the day, I walked out of the office very please with the health care that was provided. Salmon Creek Legacy is definitely a five star organization.

Prescription medicine was expensive. Refused first prescription but bought last prescription. Medicine should be made affordable for seniors.

Staff need to learn to check insurance plans of patient before making a referral. (I was delayed due to a referral made out of my network.) Staff needs to take responsibility for tasks that they delegate. (Because staff delegated a task and never checked to see that it got done, this caused patient extra work and delay of process.)

Good initial visit. The clerk at the front had problems with her computer and I was given an erroneous access code to set up my on-line account. Also, my past provider used more natural ingredients to treat me and I had to find my own compounding pharmacy. I think it is important for practitioners to become more familiar with with naturopathic methods.

I've already recommended Melissa Paul to family members. Melissa in particular, but the entire office overall, is very kind and attentive. She really listens and takes time to explain things.

The business of medical care pushes people thru prevevtitive exams like herding cattle thru a chute. This is why I left the Vancouver Clinic and why I have thoughts of leaving Legacy. I am not blaming the doctors, but the administrations as it all about money. Come back and we will talk about your other problems. Another office call. And then another. A couple hundreds bucks out of my pocket each time. We will give you 15 minutes of our time then we need to move on. The medical field is like all others, push push push. Build another clinic. Get bigger and and increase our revenue. Patients are just the avenue to reach our goals.

Melissa Paul is a very good listener and really cares for my health! I know that's what health care professionals are supposed to be about but I have had experiences with a few that make me wonder. No wondering with Melissa Paul.

Melissa Paul, NP was extremely helpful in recommending therapies for several issues. She listened intently to my needs and concerns and articulated them back to me while providing several options for treatment. Reminded me of several health screening items that I need to complete. She was easy to talk to and engaging. I appreciated her candor. Thank you

this was a new patient visit as I was changing medical clinics. I was very impressed with Melissa Paul. she listened to what I had to say and made 2 referrals to help me. one referral was something that I had been dealing with for a while that no other Drs really dealt with when it was brought up to them.

this was my first legacy visit. I scheduled my appointment online. Info I shared online during the scheduling process was not transmitted correctly to clerks. When I arrived for my visit they were frustrated and this colored my experience with them.

I am new to the area and was establishing a new provider. I was very impressed with Melissa, the staff and the receptionist. I am happy to find Legacy and Melissa.

This was my first "Mediare Physial" so I was surprised I didn't even have to take off my clothes! Later, a friend told me that that is what a mediate physical is now! I guess I am ok with that, since I am well aware of my body and issues I might have.

This was my initial visit and I am glad we have NP Melissa Anne Paul for our care. My wife and I just transferred from another office that closed and on this initial visit I know we are in excellent hands. From the the reception to the assistants and to NP Paul we are impressed and thankful to have such a great first impression with us. And I for one will not forget our first lab, experience with the professional group in 150!. NP Paul listened to our concerns, ensured we at ease, and explained the options on our care plans. We are extremely satisfied and are happy we have trusted our care to her and her team.

she is a very good doctor and listened to what i said which is a very good thing

---

Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
I felt heard concerning my health issues and the provider showed concern about preventative treatment. She seemed to understand that quality versus quantity of life can make a huge impact on a person's life and was able to assist in prescribing services to increase my quality with exercise, a referral for preventative treatment and a needed upcoming surgery. It was great being able to talk with a provided for longer than 10 minutes. I look forward to furthering my health services and stability with Ms. Paul.

Melissa Paul was saying to me that she wasn't sure why i got the appointment time of 4:30 that my she wasn't seeing anything in my symptoms that needed that appointment time 4:30 is for emergencies. She never used the computer to log into Epic to see any of my medical history. I will never see her for my medical concerns again.

---

This was my first visit for primary care at Legacy, my former primary care office is closing. Overall it was a marvelous visit. Staff, Nursing staff and Melissa were wonderful. I was apprehensive about changing doctors and medical practice, but after this visit I'll be at ease.

There was a question re the 2 types of insurance I have (Medicare and Blue Cross/Blue Shield combo) and how to describe the problem I came in for so there would be coverage.. I really was unsure how to describe the problem so it would be covered.

---

Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
the bad experience was after we were told by both the nurse practitioner and a doctor we would have the X-ray results that night, we never did. the next day when we called we were wrongly told she never had an X-ray. then we were finally told the results it was too late to get her antibiotics from her regular provider and so she had to pay cash for them. why the confusion and long delay?

First visit to this office, new provider Melissa Paul. She was very professional, friendly, and asked several times if I had any questions or issues she could help me with. Ordered routine bloodwork and reviewed my health history, made sure annual screenings were up to date. I look forward to seeing her at my next visit.

I was having dizzy spells. Dr. Paul saw me in less than 24 hrs. after I called for an appt. I was very impressed with her thoroughness. LOVELY LADY.

I am a retired physician. subsequently I have a knowledgeable and even critical view of the care my family and I receive during our medical encounters. This provider was outstanding. Her caring personality, professionalism, thoroughness was very reassuring. Personal follow up that same day by my regular physician, was above and beyond.

Melissa was available to see me on [date removed]. She was great! She ordered an xray of my foot and sent me results that same day.

I recently moved from MD to WA & this was my initial visit to meet my new PCP. That is the reason for the "no" response in question #18.

it's sad that you know someone is sick but unless you jump through all the hoops you don't get any treatment not everybody can afford all the expensive x-rays

I felt I was not informed when I first called my provider was out for the he afternoon. I had to call back because the nurse never called within a three hour Time frame when I was experiencing pain. I actually had to call back and at that time the receptionist sent me to talk to triage nurse whom did actually call me back. Frustrating that the two times I have called I keep just getting sent to the ER. I went the first time because I was told to do so. I got an extreme bill from that visit when I only wanted to see my provider. I was ok. the other call I was told to take over the counter Advil or Tylenol. I took Advil pain got better but still I don't feel right. so I deal with it. I didn't get why my provider couldn't just order a CT scan that could be done elsewhere other than the ER for less money. I still don't. I am working on losing some weight and if not better I will try to get a CT scan ordered. When I have labs test done I haven't yet got a call I just get it mailed to me. I suppose it will happen this time as well. It is sad the world has come to only technology and no calling and caring about patients anymore. I just want to know my provider has my back. when I call my doctor it is for a reason! it will be awhile before I go back to see my provider unless I am bleeding....
