The receptionist when I called for an appointment was rude and unprofessional, she did not speak English very well. I stated that I had hurt my back and I was in pain and needed to see the doctor. She told me that there were no appointments and if it got worse to call back. I told her I would not be calling if I wasn't in pain. This person needs better training or should not be working answering the phone. Needs training badly.

First visit to this office, easy check in, got to know my new PCP and ask questions, then formulate a plan for going forward. Staff was able to immediately provide a missing vaccination with no waiting. Very pleased for my first time around.

Since this visit was the first one, it is difficult to make such recommendation.

This was my FIRST "get acquainted" visit, and yet it was the best doctor's visit I ever had.

This was my first visit to Legacy. I just got my Medicare insurance and this was described as a meet and greet. The Dr. was great and I got some good advice on dealing with my knee which I hurt a few weeks ago.

First appointment with this provider. I'm new in town and want to establish a relationship with a primary care doctor. After this appointment, I feel good about having help when I need it.

Dr. Hochendel did a very thorough exam, asked lots of questions, listened to me very carefully, and _____ the medical issue - Superb! Highly recommended.

My appointment was for a general physical. It did not seem particularly thorough.

At last visit, office person followed me to exam room asking if I would be discussing an add'l health issue. The office wanted a second copay if so. likewise, if an existing issue is discussed at an annual exam (no copay), there would be a copay. This practice circumvents the free annual exam!

Good atmosphere in office. Only remotely negative was my height measurement was keyed incorrectly (too short) into system, which affected my BMI index.

---

They slipped me in the very first business day after I called. They even called later that afternoon to see if I was in any pain and needed to see someone over the weekend. I was very impressed and thankful.

---

Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
the doctor visit what's the best I could possibly imagine they answered all my questions and dealt directly with the issues that I wanted to deal with in a professional and intelligent and very helpful way

---

Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
It took two attempts to schedule my appointment. I called to schedule and was told someone would call me back. No one did. I called again (not sure if it was the same day or the next) and I was transferred to someone who had to go find the schedule and then find me a time slot. A "scheduler" would be a big help. I also called for a prescription refill because there were no refills on the prescription. I made my request and checked with the pharmacy who had not received the Rx. I needed to do that twice. The third call resulted in the Rx being sent to the pharmacy. I was given a call from the clinic saying it had been sent. I have been seeing Dr. Hochenedel for a very long time. I think he is awesome. Both events were very frustrating to me as a patient. These seem like people and process problems that need to be addressed.

I was very happy that I was able to get to see a doctor with only two hours notice on a Friday. I wasn't able to see my regular doctor so this was the first time for me to see this doctor and I thought it went very well.

I have been working with Dr. Hochendel and assistant (name eludes me at this moment). They are great. [details deleted to protect privacy]. I appreciate the dignity and honesty that Dr. Hochendel exudes. My dad loves him. He thinks he is "nifty." I am so impressed by EVERYTHING that we discuss: living at home, driving, his whole life and not just the numbers. The assistant gets back to me in a timely manner so that I can make the right home-decisions for him. I also appreciate Claire (social worker) She also works well with my dad. I hope that I have such a caring team as I grow older.

Dr. Hochenedel has been my main doctor for 24 years and I even changed healthcare options to stay with him. (I changed the Providence option to Regence/Blue Cross/Blue Shield. Dr. H. is the best!

As always, my medical issues were treated with genuine concern and respect.

Everything went well. The only complaint I would have is that we had a bit of difficulty locating the entrance to the clinic. The signage was not clear to me for a first time visit. It is a beautiful facility and everyone was very kind and professional. Thank you, [name deleted]

Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
I might consider switching to Legacy Health Insurance rather than Providence because of your handy lab and imaging facility on the same floor next to the doctors offices.

I have always been treated with respect and care at West Side. And Dr Hochendahl is my 2nd dr since my original one (Ellerbrook) retired. I am very happy with his care and how we work through a problem, discuss options, etc. I also like his nurse, Elizabeth.

---

Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
My experiences with Dr. Hochenedel visits have always been the best.

---

Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
The doctor visit was fine, but there has been very little follow up. I was told they would order an MRI and get ahold of my insurance to cover it. It has been 2.5 weeks since the appointment and very little follow up or concern (one time no return call, the other time a return call and message said they would contact me when they heard back from the insurance). They have not asked, can I walk, is my back better, are you still in pain, etc. I am not that impressed (also my Doctor and his assistant doesn't work Wednesday so you can really do anything on a Wednesday but leave a message). I don't come to the doctor unless I am really hurt or sick....so I would think I would get more attention and follow up than I have. I will be switching doctors soon. I am just not very impressed (mostly with his staff and their follow up).

---

Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
I have gone to Dr. Hochenedel for many years. I appreciated the wonderful care I have had. Now that he is with Legacy it makes me a little nervous that they may not continue taking Providence patients in the future. They did not tell me this I understand this just from hearing other situations.

---

Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
I have total faith in Todd, he is extremely responsive, professional and caring!!! If he were otherwise, I would seek another physician...(Note I said Physician and not provider)

---

Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
after seeing my physician I was sent to the lab next door and was required to re-enter all my insurance information. Your information system does not talk to one another. If it does not it needs to be fixed.

---

Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Dr. Hochenedel is a great doctor. He listens and cares about what you have to say.

---

Have been going to this practice about 20 yrs. That is why the answers are all given! I wouldn't go back if they weren't.

Dr. Hochenedel and his staff are an amazing team. They are extremely professional, compassionate and effective. When ever we have had a medical issue, they get us in ASAP -- the same day in emergencies -- and address the situation.

Dr Hochenedel is caring, highly competent provider. He does a good job of listening to my questions and concerns and provides thoughtful, helpful answers. He is an excellent primary care physician.

---

this was my first visit with Dr H... this is why no one from his office talked to me about my previous medications.

---

You always feel listened to and understood. You have information to enable you to help in your treatment and follow-up. All in all, a good experience seeing Dr. Hochenedel. You feel valued and encouraged.

Dr. Todd has always been very professional whenever I visit, he almost always has ideas regarding treatment plans going forward. I feel confident with the treatment and advice he gives.

---

Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
I have been with Dr. Hochenedel for a long time. He always has time to chat and to listen. I have never felt uncomfortable and he has always been honest about the limits of what he can do and if I need to see a specialist for some reason.

---

Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
It would be more convenient to have blood work done before my visit. The Dr. would be better able to know if further tests need to be completed or prescriptions prescribed. I now must have lab work done after my wellness check. it seems very counterproductive.

---

Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Dr. Hochenedel always makes me feel better. He knows my health history very well and takes the time to help me through my insecurities. He is the best. He never makes me feel that he is rushed and always listens.

This was my first visit to this practice. I was supposed to visit Dr. Hochendel for a first visit next month but I had an ER visit and they got me in much sooner. I appreciated the responsiveness of the office. The staff was also great.

---

Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
very good visit with follow up plans discussed.

---

Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
The appointment itself went very well but getting the appointment set was frustrating. I tried two different times and gave up after the first due to long wait time. The second wasn't much better but I did wait it out until my call was answered. Previously calls for appointments in the Providence system were handled in a much more timely manner.

---

I am happy that Dr Todd is my Primary doctor.

I have had other physician's and have found Dr.Hochenedel to show true concern with my health whereas some others in my past did not.

---

The physician met all of my expectations. Receptionist and nurse were professional and courteous.

---

Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Doctor Hochenedel appears extraordinarily aware of my medical history and health, listens carefully to my questions and communicates understandably in writing regarding the results of laboratory tests. He appears very knowledgeable and careful in regard to his medical advice, and makes adjustments in prescription medications as he believes are needed. (Also, I have consulted with a licensed nutritionist who has been very impressed with the thoroughness with which Dr. Hochenedel has prescribed various laboratory tests regarding my anemia, apparently more than would be the case with most physicians.)

---

Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
My Doctor was not in the day I called asking if I could get in that day, and they were able to get me in to see Dr. Hochenedel. I had tripped and fallen and am very sore. This was the first time I saw this Doctor. He was friendly and very nice. He did an exam of my injury and said he thought I should have x-rays and I agreed. I felt confidence in his knowledge and care.

Thank you!

---

Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Since the office has switched to Legacy, the front facing staff have not been as professional than before and turnover seems higher - like always someone new. This combination has the effective of distancing the patient from Legacy (the system); it does not affect the doctor-patient bond. Most patient interactions, however, are not Dr-Patient but with Legacy the system. While I value my doctor, I have a growing distaste for Legacy and their provider network

---

Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Always good visits with my doctor!

I appreciated being notified the doctor would be delayed for my appointment after only a ten minute wait.
