Dr. H has been my primary care physician for many years now, and I consider him a friend as well as treating physician. While doctor visits aren't high on my list of fun things to do, it is definitely comforting to trust my care to a doctor who is familiar with me and my health history. Please don't let him retire anytime soon! :-)

Whenever anyone is looking for a new internist, I ALWAYS recommend Dr. Hochenedel. He is the best caregiver I have ever had.

The Dr is great - the staff and general interactions with the Legacy staff and systems are terrible. It is the opposite of a positive UX and worse than my wife's or daughter's care systems (Providence and OHSU respectively). As soon as my Dr retires, I'll leave Legacy

I have been sick for almost 3 weeks after visiting the Dr. Office. I took every precaution I knew of to minimize my exposure to any Ill patients in the waiting room. I completed all the survey forms online, indicated I had no cough and waited in my car in the parking lot until 5 minutes before my appointment. When I entered the waiting room, I noticed a woman seated close to the open seat I took, who was filling out the long form survey. When she completed and turned in the survey, the receptionist noted that she had all the signs of Covid and ushered her off to an open examination room. I had sat next to her for 15 minutes. I was then ushered into examination room 5 minutes later. Bottomline, even having filled out all the forms online and then entered the waiting room 5 minutes before my scheduled appointment---I still had to sit in the waiting room for 20 minutes before being taken to an examination room. Not good. Either adhere to the scheduled appointment time or offer to call the patient if they should prefer to wait in their car.

Dr. H. is always good. I mentioned a study I had seen a summary of recently, and he knew the details of it very specifically, so he keeps up on medicine. He's kind and listens well.

Dr Hochenedel is the best. Always listens and involves us in treatment options. Orders tests appropriately and will order tests from our concerns. He is always communicative on the the portal and responds to any question. He used to be my dr also but I have providence insurance or I would still be a patient also. I believe my mother had lived this long because I'd his great care.

I think Legacy policy to make a young patient a new patient if unseen in 3 years is ridiculous. Also think it is ridiculous that the office staff will not ask doctor to re-see patient. Was very difficult for me to be re-established w/my doctor. This is not a good policy in my opinion.

Requiring masks in the check up context is absolutely ridiculous at this present time. I have two sons that are licensed medical doctor surgeons and other family members such as nurses are in the medical profession so I am not ignorant of the facts and realities.

If I would have been informed to fast, I could have had my blood tested after meeting with the doctor. I had to make a separate appointment for blood testing. At my last checkup a year ago, my blood was tested without fasting.

Dr Hochenedel reads through everything and is well prepared. I have never gone to an appointment with him and felt like an afterthought. It also seems like he is more willing to change his mind than some doctors. I also like his assistant. She is very organized and gets everything squared away like prescriptions in a timely fashion.

I was very pleased with the care I received. Dr. Hochenedel read the comments I left when I made my specific-issue appointment and understood why I was there.The reception desk seemed to think I was there for a regular office visit, though, which made things confusing when I arrived because it affected my visit payment. I felt like the reception desk did not have access to my reason for visit, and it was not something I wanted to discuss publicly in the lobby.

Dr H is great at asking questions of me to get to the root of my problem. I know I don't feel well but l find it difficult to be specific about it. He is easy to talk with and draws the information he needs out of me. He helped me immensely during my last visit and recommended a short term solution to my itching problem. He ordered tests to work on long term solution too.

Person to person communication.... It varies from being pleasant, the doctor and his nurse, to acting like they are impatient, having too much to deal with. On those visits, I have to wonder whether they do not enjoy senior patients. Most of the visits are pretty positive.

The receptionist was incredibly friendly and helpful. I had never seen this particular doctor before, but I had an urgent issue that I wanted to get checked out and my usual doctor not available. Doctor Hochenedel paid close attention and asked follow up questions when I explained what was going on, he was professional and careful to explain what he was doing each step of the exam. I generally don't like doctor's visits but this one was very well done.
