Adventist Medical Center - Portland Review

Rude,careless, take their sweet time!! They don t pay attention to their patients!! Don t go to this hospital they will just waste ur time and discharge u without curing ur health issues!!very unprofessional staff ....

I went in to get chest x-rays because of laryngitis and bronchitis that was causing me severe pain. The doctors got my diagnosis wrong (one said laryngitis and as soon as she left a man came in and said pharyngitis) which made me have to come back a day later feeling even worse likely because I was given the wrong medicine. After getting the x-rays done, I walked back to my room. In the center of the emergency room, I saw my chest was on the screen of a computer and the staff was gathered around looking at it laughing, saying there was no way I was actually a minor. It made me physically sick to my stomach and I felt like crying. I've had doctors tell me hurtful things about my weight before and I understand why THAT would be okay but the staff had my chest on display while they gathered around laughing at my underage body, which was COMPLETELY unnecessary and sickening behavior for an emergency room.

tldr: I would not go here if I was dying. the staff are disgusting people and every single one of them should be fired.

Theresa folily. In my opinion is the worst nurse practitioner I have ever met. She doesn't want to hear anything and thinks she is going to change ur world buy stopping meds and belittling u about issues that have been followed by true doctors. That specialized in that feild. Telling a type 1 dibitic she is type 2, when she contracted it at age 4. Very dangerous. ....

Looks like the entire staff has left the Estacada clinic if u look at job listings on indeed. She is bery difficult to work with. As one of the front staff convayed. When I used them as a urgent care . Run, dont walk to another clinic. Sandy is great..

SAM in Infusion LAB Terrific Nurse! and Loving Personality!

Called several times this morning and it kept hanging up on me while I was on hold. Super frustrating. I ve wasted an hour just trying to get through.

The Physician's Assistant and X-Ray tech that ended up helping us were super nice and friendly but the support staff in the ER were completely useless. My husband had a broken finger and we live nearby so we got to the ER before it even swelled up. Once we finally got a room, two of the ER staff came in on separate occasions, both times just to tell him how "messed up" his finger looked. Not to actually examine him or take his vitals or actually DO anything. The first girl was munching on a bag of chips and even made a comment to us about how it was unprofessional that she was munching on the chips while she continued to stuff her face. He was not offered an ice pack or Ibuprofin or anything and they didn't even tell us what we were waiting for until we came out of the room and asked. Finally after disappearing for a while to find out what we were waiting on, the one staff member came back to tell us the PA would come down shortly. By this time his whole hand is swollen and huge. Still no offer of ice pack or Ibuprofin. Eventually the PA came down and "set" his bone back in place and crafted and applied a makeshift splint for him to wear until he could see an orthopedic doctor. The PA was the only one to offer him Ibuprofin but it was not until we were literally leaving, so we declined as we only live a couple of blocks away and had it at home. When we went to pay, the cashier offered us an option to put $$ down right away and the hospital gives you an additional 10% of what you put down toward your bill. We said okay, but then she could not figure out how to do this in the computer system. We waited for her to get a supervisor who also could not figure it out. Finally she said she would just make a note in the file. We just got the bill and guess what?? The 10% we were supposed to get is not on the bill. This was our second time going to this ER because it is so close to home, but they are pretty awful to deal with. Care on a basic level is substandard. The physician's assistants we have dealt with have been fine, but the rest of the support staff and the billing department make it tempting to drive across town to another ER.

I delivered my last baby here 2.5 years ago. Initially, i wanted to give birth at providence but couldnt make it. Their maternity unit is small and short staffed. Room was small with a very old and tiny tv (couldnt even see well). I thought, oh well its just one night. However my baby developed problems overnight so I had to stay an extra night with baby. Baby was hungry and i didnt produce any milk yet so i asked if they could bring in some formula. Took them a good 30 min.

They were not compassionate. I came in 9 cm dilated and they appeared to be irritated because they didnt have things set up yet. They asked me a bunch of health questions, and i know its protocol but that was so annoying given the pain i was in.

To sum it up, staff were inattentive, short staffed, dirty rooms, bland food. I definitely prefer Providence.

Im pregnant again and hopefully i can avoid this place.

Visited the ER with my son. They got us back quickly and had him feeling better shortly after. The doctors, nurses and staff were all very helpful and kind and kept us informed throughout the process.

Went for a cut on my hand and needed stitches.the er doc gave me the numbing shot and then immediately began with stitches.OMG the most painful experience ever! I admitted to the JFK, 911and pearl harbor.the former gitmo doc proceeded to continue .NEVER going there AGAIN! and to top it off, later on when's the numbing solution finally wore off , and I woke up in excruciating pain they wouldn't give me pain meds because they figured I was some kind of pain pill junkie or something.and also they tried to give me a bunch of vaccines that I didn't need or want to top it off.

My husband has been having difficulty sleeping, so I went on the "find a doctor" search my health plan has, and it rated one of Adventist's doctors to be the best option for both our plan design and as far as patient outcomes. When I called to get an appointment, the woman on the phone said I had to have a referral from a PCP so that they know what to treat. When I asked why she doesn't trust patients to know that for themselves, she said it was their policy. Apparently, some doctor who has known us once -- and for all of 15-20 minutes -- knows more about my husband's medical needs than me, the person who has slept next to him for 12 years.

So now I have to find a PCP, make an appointment with them, then get a referral, and then make an appointment. Meanwhile, my husband goes untreated, and I have to pay for two office visits out of my HSA instead of one.

This is NOT patient-centered care. I wish I could give this place a zero.

This is by far one of the worst hospitals I ve seen. The lack of good follow up care by doctos is just terrible. My parents made a mistake bringing my grandma here to the ER expecting to receive the care this hospital claims to offer as part of their vision and values.

just spent 24hrs there with my husband having carotid artery surgery.He had excellent care from his Dr. his anesthesiologist and his nurses.

I want to say thank you to Dr.. Israel in Radiology. I went in for an MRI on my neck and he must have seen something he contacted my doctor's office had me come back in for an MRI of the brain and found a brain tumor so again thank you very much. FYI I tried to post this earlier and it was under my son's name so please forgive the confusion

This hospital is the tops. Every staff member exuded competence, confidence and care. My hip replacement surgery went very well, in and out of there in a day and a half. Terific experience!

My first experience at the hospital.Everyone was so nice! From registration, admissions,nurses,staff..all treated me with care and respect. 5 + stars.

Dr. Flowerday is the best . She follows though in getting my concerns answered.
The entire staff from the Emergency Room , those caring for me in my hospital room, Nurses, Doctors and room service were caring professionals and the best in their field
Sally Savidge

Horrible experience, I checked out, leaving this nightmare. Disgusting, filthy place.

My mother was having difficulty breathing. When I approached admitting, one of the staff helping another patient heard my mother's symptoms.

He immediately took her to a room and within 15 minutes she was given an IV, an EKG, Chest x-ray, blood tests, etc.

At one time, there were (literally) 9 people in her room, including a doctor overseeing her care.

I can't say enough good things about the staff at Adventist. Thank you!!

I went in because i was having excruciating nerve pain down my leg, primarily In the ankle area along with numbness in my toes and foot. I do not go to the dr and after almost two weeks of the worst pain of my life(I ve had two babies) and a lot of convincing words from my family, I finally gave in. I don t have insurance so I don t have the ability to go to a primary care provider and I was in so much pain I was in tears, I wanted them to figure out what was wrong with me so that I could have a solution to fix it. Initially the nurse practitioner wanted xrays of my ankle(i didn t understand why because i had clearly told them that i was sure it was nerve pain given that my toes and foot were numb). After sitting on the hard hospital bed for 5 hours the dr finally came in, and said there was no break in my ankle(no duh, I told you that). She then proceeded to tell me that she would not write me a prescription for any type of pain relief and that opioid addiction was a major problem, and that I needed to see a primary care provider to look at what was causing nerve pain. And that she thought the pain I was experiencing was because I was emotionally unstable. I was crying because I was in so much pain. They gave me a anti-inflammatory injection(ibprofen) and sent me home. In the dishcharge papers, she stated possible ankle sprain . So basically my nerve pain was a possible ankle sprain but I was really just emotionally unstable and an opioid addict(never asked for pain meds). I don t know how this dr even passed medical school, and now I have a giant bill from 3 different companies that I have to pay for nothing. Our income exceeds the qualifying amount for state health insurance by $300 and health insurance through work is over $1200.

The last few times I ve had to come in to this hospital has been horrible. Long waits, rude staff, and poor attentiveness to patients. Not to mention dirty! While waiting in the internal waiting room in the ER you could see blood droplets that were on the floor. Who knows how long it s been since they cleaned it. One person was letting their drool/snot drip down onto the chairs, and after they left others came and just sat in the mess. Staff continued to walk by and took notice of other waiting patients and their bodily fluids, but nothing was done. I understand hospitals can be busy or short staffed, but basic cleanliness and attentiveness to patients in the work place should be reviewed.

Was seen after an officer directed me to go after I was attacked by a homeless guy in portland. I explained my pain and had visible marks. The doctor told me to sign a form stating I would stop "seeking drugs in the er". Never asked for meds, he just assumed I was a druggie. Thanks a lot Adventist. Not only was I beaten up by a stranger, I was ridiculed by you.

I love this hospital because they dont waist your time in most cases its in and out they make sure u are seen right away and get you the best treatment available for u .thank you Adventist for your hard and kind regard for human life .

Over 3 years later I still suffer from a botched attempt of a routine procedure from an Adventist doctor. I get to suffer at vehicles driving by (severe back spasms) and am left untreated. To cover their tracks (there is a two year limit to sue) they made me go through months of proving I had a brain because I didn't feel like telling the nurse where I grew up. (Confirmed reason of not saying where I grew up was in my medical file). Boy was that a mistake! I wish I had never came here.

October 21,2013 I was a pedestrian and got Hit by a truck while i was in a cross walk, Went to Adventist Medical center and waited probably half hour, finally got in waited another hour or so to see a doctor. Had a Normal review done on myself the check for broken bones. Thankfully Nothing was Broken or seriously wrong with me, but No X-Rays were taken to check deeper. Sent home with some pain medicine which i never took and sent to a Different doctor for a follow up a few days later. the staff was nice and polite but i wish More would have been done to help me rather than just send me home with Pills. This is the reason why MOST people are addicted to such pills. Doctors simply dont want to take the time to treat the problem, More so just the symptoms..

Best hospital ever. Very helpful staff and easy to get ahold of. They are on top of all paperwork and everything was filled out perfect. Unlike other medical clinics this is by far the best!

I've been going to PAMC & Associated health departments, seen & treated by the Best Doctor's & Specialists, .

I've continued my care throughout the years and currently seeing & treated by the Best Caring Doctors and Specialists who are Extremely Educated in their own positions.

Many visits to the ER Department, by walk-in and Ambulance.
Been admitted countless times & have had countless procedures and surgeries.
You receive Excellent care, and make sure your as comfortable as possible and treat you like family.

PORTLAND ADVENTIST MEDICAL CENTER IS AN EXCELLENT HOSPITAL, HAS HIGHLY QUALIFIED & PROFESSIONAL DOCTORS, SURGEONS, INCLUDING ALL STAFF!
(Even a jump on my Dead Car Battery)

My Son also has continued his Medical Care with PAMC, starting with his Pediatrician at Birth to his Now Adult PCP.

I highly recommend this Beautiful, up to date Hospital to anyone. Employees are kind, curtious individuals who work together as a team, making patients as comfortable as possible in every way. They make sure you are taken care of to the best possible way.

Visited hospital because of high fever, after few tests was asked to wait in the lobby; waited for 4 hours for the room to become available. When was called into the room, had to wait another 30 mins for physician, who prescribed few pills and dismissed; for this procedure i received $2.5k bill. After requesting itemized description I learned that 3 pills at hospital are twice as expensive as a bottle at pharmacy, x-ray procedure is twice as expensive as the one I performed at the other hospital, physician charges $500+ for 10 mins or work and hospital charges $1.7k+ for 30 mins of room usage and 4 hrs waiting in the lobby. Overall experience is very negative, avoid this place... for the $2.5k/hr people deserve a better treatment #royalRipoff

Wow I come in for intractable vomiting and am told oh because I smoked weed once that that's what's causing my violent repeated nausea six months after I smoked what a bunch of quacks don't come here if you value your or your families well weing the doctors all have god simplex's I work in the medical field and this was close to being the worst treatment I've ever received

They treat you like a junkie every time!!! Nurses here are trained to persistently ask about your past drug use.. if there isn't past drug use then you're a liar.. this place needs dramatic revaluation look how many 1 star reviews..

Horrid!! This place made Willamette Falls look like a Marriot! Never have I been so forgotten in my life!!!! Pre surgery tests lost, forgot to take different blood so poked twice. and it just got worse. Don't even want to continue cause its making me madder! Don't go there, if you don't have to.

My husband needed to be hospitalized in the psychiatric ward at Portland Adventist Hospital. He is very underweight for his height besides being bipolar. They have not been giving him his medications as prescribed by psychiatrists he has seen for over 20 years. Therefore, he has not been able to sleep for the past two nights that he has been there. He desperately needs to gain weight, but since they have not given him his medications, he has absolutely no appetite. The one medication used to treat his bipolar also helps him with severe headaches that he used to get. Within the next couple of days, these headaches are going to return. This country does not take mental health seriously enough, but I thought that a psychiatric ward in a hospital would know what they are doing. Clearly, that is not the case here at Portland Adventist. I would not suggest them to my worst enemy. They need to shut down the psych ward if they can't do any better than this.

Dr. Lee in the ER was not only rude but had extremely horrible bedside manor. When a family member is on the verge of death, and we as the family do not know what to do or what is happening, you would think that an er dr. would be somewhat experienced in dealing with such a situation with couth, and sympathy. My mom and I were next to my sisters bed after she almost died, to have this dr. walk in shrug his shoulders and say, "well she's dying, and I don't know, I don't know what to say" .. on and on and literally would not answer one question of ours. My mom had to remind him that she is our family and we love her. It was one of the most shocking displays from someone in the medical field I have EVER seen and I hope I never do again.

If u need amazing medical attention I would highly recommend Good Sam. After Adventist released my sister waaaay before she should have, we took her there. Good Sam took care of my sister, they didn't judge her, they treated her like she was a human being!!!

To Dr. Lee... shame on you. You need to remember why you became a dr. in the first place, figure it out or quit your job!

My husband was.forced to go to Adventist by ambulance due to emts not able to stabilize his afib enough to go to our regular hospital.
After being checked into er he explained he had afib but this attack was much more painful and different than any before. He was given blood tests and ekgs also give a shot to bring his heart rhythm back to normal.
His heart was slowing to normal speed but not there yet, and still fluttering when he was told he would have to give up his room as they had ambulances coming and were busy. He was brought in by ambulance with only sweat pants on, they gave him a scrub shirt and socks and while still having issues, they sat him in waiting room to wait for his ride to get there.
Never again. I understand having to go to closest but if they couldnt finish taking care of him they needed to send him to providence when he was stable.
Not at all pleased with this hospital for that.
I cant give a zero star so had to give 1

Got a woman named patty who came to my grandparents house today about physical therapy for my uncle and she showed up 5 hours late and is just sitting in her car for about an hour doing nothing. She couldnt even get into tge house because we have dogs and shes apparently too scared of a dog. Also she showed up not even knowing what she was doing there. Very unprofessional. I hooe her boss can see this because she needs to be fired.

Stayed two nights in here for my son s birth and had an amazing experience. The nurses at the family birth center were amazing, caring and compassionate. I personally want to thank each and every one of them for their hard work during my labor and delivery; especially nurses Gwen, Allie and Jacoba. They were beyond awesome. And my angel midwife Peggy Hayes, CNM created simply the best care.
At Adventist, they keep you in the same room for labor and delivery and postpartum. They have jacuzzi tubs and birthing balls in the rooms. My husband and I were quite comfortable in there; plus you can order on a room service menu (delicious) from LivingWell Bistro. All the staff were super helpful. During my hospital stay, they taught me many things such as swaddling, nursing, effective burping, basic baby care, etc. As first-time parents, we really appreciated that.
Overall, I would highly recommend this hospital for childbirth.

Awful atmosphere. Sarcastic and rude nurses. Huge wait times.

I took my sister-in-law here at the suggestion of her home nurse (she recently had a stroke). Her anxiety had become extreme and crippling, and she could not sleep. She was also "peeing" every 5 minutes--part of her anxiety. They did a urinalysis, EKG, and blood test. The young doctor came in and essentially told us he was going to discharge her with nothing. He referred us to her GP -- who had referred us to the neurologist, who referred us to the GP, who was on vacation, and here we were at the ER. Antianxiety medications and sleeping medications were "not in my wheelhouse," he told us. It's a shame that a hospital that size has literally no one this poor ignorant doctor could ask for advice when someone comes in in an emergency situation. I am not impressed.

Was was mocked and called horrible slurs by the nurses don t go here if you want to have actual care

Waaaay better than Providence. Previously wrote a bad review and I apologize. But most of the staff are great and accomidable but of course there are a few bad apples anywhere you go. Last but not least, the cafeteria food is AMAZING. I would stop by just to dine their, honestly. They even have vegan/vegetarian options! Wooo!

I was born here June 1 in 1981, I'm alive and I was a preemie. So thank you.

I came into the ER on a Friday evening due to being hit by a car and an evulsion of my front tooth, numerous lacerations inside/outside my lip and my gums. My entire body was sore and bruised and it hurt to walk.

Believe it or not, the ER was unable to find a wheelchair and I had to walk back. I asked several times for a new rag or something that I could stick in my mouth because the current one that I had been using was completely soaked in blood, it took them 10 min to get me one, it was clearly not a priority to them. I was sent back into a room to wait. After 30 or 40 min I had a CT scan of my head and neck, but nothing further was done.

Nobody checked or cleaned my lip or mouth, nobody checked my wrists or knees even though I complained of pain here. Nobody stitched my lip, nothing...After the CT scan I waited another 30 min to see a Dr. The Dr. was unprofessional, and told me stuff that I already knew, seemed to have no idea what to do.

We left as soon as possible to get to a dentist for urgent repairs to my tooth, gums, and lip.

Extremely unprofessional staff, nobody seemed to know what was going on, and nobody even offered to clean my wounds/mouth. Crazy.

This is not my first bad experience with this hospital either, the only reason we came here was because of the close proximity to our house, and needing to get our kids taken home.

My family and I will never go to this hospital again.

I just signed up to change my Medicare primary hospital to Adventist Hospital Medical Center and after reading so many negative reviews followed by the same generic response from the owner on all of them, I've decided to stay with my current Dr. and Hospital. Saving money on premiums every month would not be worth my care or life.

The doc is a joke never in all my years until tonight have I heard a doc tell me well I didnt want to research what to give a pregnant woman so I asked a pharmacist what to prescribe talk about making you feel safe

Recently my father was in the ICU here for 3 days and another 2 in the hospital. They saved his life. If it wasn't for their quick response to what was happening he wouldn't be here today. They have a great medical team and the nurses here are the most patient and understanding.

After several close calls with congestive heart failure, I had excellent care every time. both in the E.R. and upstairs, 3 times in 3 months! The food is gourmet, even with the "heart healthy" menu. Everyone was so friendly and helpful, it made my stays much less daunting, and if the beds weren't from hell, I'd give them a perfect 5+! But they say there's a five-year plan to replace them, so God forbid I have to stay with them again in the near future, there's a chance I'll get a good bed next time. Beds notwithstanding, if you are going to need hospital care -- this is definitely the place to get it!

Staff are friendly but if they thing your fluids and everything look fine although you say your sick they will boot you. I have to pay out of pocket for one night because they wouldn't keep me otherwise. I can't eat I just throw it up and have lost 32 pounds in less than 3 weeks

Some rude and unprofessional staff, unpleasant atmosphere, longer than usual wait times.

The ER wait time is horrendous. My husband was sent to the ER by his doctor today for chest pain and he was there for over seven hours, most of that time in the waiting room even though he was the highest priority patient, because it took hours for them to get an open bed. This is NOT the first time we've sat for six plus hours just waiting here, but it's the only hospital nearby. The staff is nice, but they need either to fix their constant crazy long ER wait times.

If you are planning to come here please plan that you will walk out because you were told you were not sick enough to be seen with in the five to six hours you have been wait to be seen.

Don't believe what a guy says about Adventist sucks. Best place I've ever been too. In fact, they are in the top 5 percent in clinical excellence and their surgeons are highly skilled. I have had countless surgeries of all type not related to each other. I highly recommend this placetypes not related to each other

I had knee surgery yesterday. This has been my 3rd surgery at Adventist and each time has been a great experience. Yesterday, though, was extraordinary - the nurses and staff were really great, the doctors and my anesthesiologist were very thoughtful and caring. All to top it off, nearly every staff member I came in contact with held amazing conversations and were quite funny, especially in the pre-anesthesia/ surgery area! I am very pleased I came back to Adventist.

E.r staff were outstanding. Ever. Single . Person. They were fast through and so sweet. Non judgmental. Fabulous young doctor. Best medical experience I've ever had in an emergency . Very blessed to have them close by. Thank you E.R staff !!!!!!!

My 86-year-old mother was brought to Portland Adventist by ambulance after a fall in her apartment. During this time of the coronavirus, we were very concerned about her well-bring since she has several risk factors.

From the moment she arrived I was in regular communication with nurses, doctors, and social workers assigned to her. Each one was professional, thoughtful, well-informed, and kind. These are good people.

Whenever I called I reached someone quickly, I was listened to patiently, and my mother is leaving after six days much stronger than when she arrived. The social worker, Brian, helped arrange her placement and helped me with every transition detail. I live 3000 miles from Oregon, so his consideration was a lifesaver for me.

I highly recommend this hospital.

Went in because my husband had excruciating pain in his knee. After over two hours they took exrays and then we waited 3 1/2 hours to get into a room which never was available! We left because we had to catch a plane at 8:00Am. Total waste of time!! I feel sorry for Portland. Plaster peeling off the bathroom wall, equiptment dated, homeless sleeping on the couches, overall...rundown and dirty!!

I have had a very good experience when I go to this hospital over others. The staff are respectful and thorough in their care. The Dr. this last time last week was listening and knew what to do. I have a whole new perspective on my long time issues that have not been addressed elsewhere. Thank you for all that you do for me!

My husband had an spine surgery and from the moment we stepped into the hospital everyone was very nice, professional and helpful. The atmosphere seemed busy but it was flowing through very organized. All the stuff played an important role into our visit. We both felt like we were the only ones there for a treatment. The surgery was very successful thanks to the best surgeon on the northwest. Dr. Darrell Brett.... thanks for everything.

My third visit now. The ER staff seems oddly ambivalent towards patients waiting. One man got angry and complained and a nurse came out and loudly informed him that the average wait was going to be 6 hours. I was in in level 7 pain with a huge hernia showing and got triaged equal to the folks presenting with simple viral complaints. I had to leave and seek treatment elsewhere. Not impressed.

Great facility where my third child was born in 1978
Best care ever for sister in law who had serious health challenges!
Glad you're affiliated with OHSU too and have the latest research to enhance your excellent care

My first services was with with the Ortho/Dr. Hanley was the best medical treatment I have had!

Unfortunately I had some serious GI issues that had developed after my first visit with Adventist, after 4 visits with their GI specialist, double booked appts that ended up being redundant and wasting my time from my job and finally a upper GI inspection that cost over 10/k to find out I have both upper and lower hernias and they were the cause of my excruciating pain and discomfort.

After the diagnosis the Dr did not give me any follow up treatment plan, medication or advise. Later when had came in to the clinic with GI pain so bad I could barley walk up right, they told me I should probably see a surgeon and I should take some Tylenol for the pain.

To top it all off, I just got a notice from a collection agency for the bill from the above services that I set up on sequential auto payment, or so I was lead to believe, apparently they forgot to tell me I needed to make the payments manually, apparently they took my bank and card info for the initial payment and agreement. I really want to like this place/system, the people are very nice, but I will be looking for a surgeon to help me out elsewhere :(

What is really sad is each department has you fill out a ratings card, which I did numinous times, no one has bothered to follow up on any complaint, that in itself speaks volumes.

Not good with children. Staff was unprofessional. They are short staffed and the facility is dirty. This hospital used to be nice, clean and professional. We will never use this hospital again.

They practice mobbing methods of harassment and used narcotics on me and over filled me with fluids for my failed heart . I went to er for antibiotic's to cure a sinus infection ..I did not complain of pain ...they said we want to admitt you for over night to observe your heart I agreed ...but they kept me there two more days and finally after a nurse was acting like she was a doctor giving me a fourth bag of iv. Antibiotic's when two hours before that the house doctor said I had to much fluid and said no more iv. I had to escape by getting my now dead brother to come and escort me out of there .

Been sitting here for hours and they're just chatting it up about their weekend plans. The most unprofessional people work here.

My son was in the care of the Adventist hospital and their staff from May 13th to May 24th and received the best care anyone could ever hope for. Sadly he passed away after a week at home on Hospice care after he was discharged. The doctors (all but one) on the third floor and the doc I met in the ER were simply the most caring and compassionate I have ever met during the most difficult time I have ever experienced and that no parent should ever have to deal with. The nurses and aids were spectacular with the care they gave Aaron and in the way my family and friends were treated. I didnt know that a hospital and staff existed. I wish my father would have been able to have received the same care here in Ohio. If I were ever going to have to be hospitalized I wish it could be at Adventist

Thank you for the excellent care - especially afterwards. Your billing staff is incredibly friendly, kind, and never pushy. This has not been the case with other medical entities around town. So again, thank you.

The rudest and most incompetent staff I've ever encountered! I came into the ER suffering from an asthsma attack and couldn't breathe. They made me walk back and forth across the waiting room several times, despite my protests that I'm dizzy and can't breathe. On the final time that they called me yet again to walk across the entire area, my husband finally spoke up and asked where they needed me to go because I couldn't breathe. The nurse yelled at him to be quiet and that she, "hates this crap". Then she refused to treat me and I left the hospital unable to catch my breathe after being refused treatment. No one seemed to know what was going on. Doctors were coming to the waiting room and asking people, "what have we done for you?" And "what did they say we were doing for you" complete cluster of incompetence!

They are very rude to children !! they practically tell you to cover their mouths or to go outside with them

This week we needed to go to the emergency department for an urgent medical concern. Our experience there was across the board fabulous. As both my husband and I are medical professionals we knew what to look for. From the front desk to the nursing, to the doctors and X-ray techs they were spot on professional, thorough and personable etc Due to the urgent nature of his symptoms he was seen immediately ( even with a fairly full waiting room ) and had a cat scan within 15 minutes. We were glad we did not go to the closest hospital to our house and traveled the extra 10 minutes to go to Adventist. He stayed overnight to complete all the tests and assure it would not progress to a full blown stroke. Can not recommend them highly enough. So grateful to have this hospital and their associated professionals in our community.

The staff, yes all of them-grounds maintenance to doctors, seem genuine and have a high regard for people.

Awful place of business. Do not go if you have a choice. This place will treat you like crap and charge you a lot of money for the disservice.

both my wife and I have been patients at Portland Ad in the last 2 years. I cannot think of anything they could do better. The staff could not have been more kind, responsive and professional. This Hospital is an example of excellent health care.

I was SHOCKED by the cost. They knew that we were self pay and they didn't give us options for how our case was handled. They did a CT scan that cost $3000 plus we got a surprise bill for $300 in addition to that for reading the reports. A simple urinalysis would have confirmed the diagnosis and the waited until the end to even suggest that as an option-HOURS after they had already done a CT scan. We will only be going back if our lives depend on it.....

they don't did not take care of my father right and because of their low care my father left this world. The doctors don't care to give good care and they same is the same way non of them are professional and they talk about patients in front of everyone. WOULD NEVER NEVER RECOMMEND ANYONE GO THIS HOSPITAL ALL STAFF & DOCTORS SUCKS.

Portland Adventist has been the place I keep goung back to. I've been from Providence to St Vincent's only to find I really like Portland Adventist. It's a smaller size hospital. Much easier to navigate. Also OSHU has partnered with them. For instance the Knight Cancer treatment Center now has a satellite home at Portland Adventist.

Group of inexperienced morons which will take your money if the opportunity comes up. They will force you into care even if you're against it. Few times was diagnosed incorrectly and forced treatment even though labs never came back. When labs came back, they told me that it was doctors dirt from hands which resulted labs to show incorrectly. They didn't even apologize like as if it's ok. To make story short, horrible experience. Hospitals as such need to be shut down.

Horrible I have been sitting in this room for over a hour and have not been seen by anyone

The nurses and care team at Adentist gave my family and myself the best first time experience. Everyone who came into our room was so loving and caring and made sure that I was comfortable and that my boyfriend was also taken care of. They are an amazing group of nurses and doctors. I wouldnt go anywhere else to deliver my child. They are the BEST

In spite of the report signed by a radiologist at Adventist, Emergency room doctors and every other "professional" at Adventist failed to diagnose my husband with an Empyema which had completely crushed his left lung. The nurses on the third floor were often hours late bringing pain medication to my husband while he was suffering under their care for three days. When I raised the issue with nurses, I was berated for my attitude and made to feel that I had no right to be upset over my husbands continued deterioration, their lack of comprehension of the schedule that they had set for the medication, my fear of him dying, the lack of ANY diagnosis, the repeated denials I was given when requesting to have the covering physician speak with me.
When on the third night a doctor did finally come to the room, he told us that my husband "probably has pneumonia but it hadn't shown up on any of the tests." and "The WBC IS 25 BUT OBVIOUSLY IT'S FOR SOME REASON OTHER THAN INFECTION." THIS TURNED OUT TO BE ALMOST comical because the doctor had at the same time handed me paperwork with a copy of the report from the radiologist stating that my husband had an Empyema. The report was dated the morning my husband was taken to the ER.
Adventist kept my husband for 3 days and at NO TIME made any attempt at treating the Empyema.
The CT-SCAN showed CLEARLY that my husband's left lung had been completely crushed.
My husband is alive because I took him to another hospital where they performed surgery.
I wonder how many have died as a result of the negligence, malpractice and failure to diagnose Adventist dishes out on a regular basis?

4 hour wait in the waiting room. Rude nurse staff. I understand that there job is stressful and they have to deal with alot.But I've have been in lots of hospitals way busyer and the staff wasn't half or even a quarter as rude.

The worst hospital. The hospital staff are a bunch of rude control freaks that harm rather than help.

Took a Chip Education program and found it to be outstanding. Program for long term healthy eating. Demonstrations of food were presented at each class session.

The staff at Adventist are amazing. Everyone I encounter has been extremely helpful. Special shout out to their hard working facility department; they are a wonderful group of people!

I sat in the lobby for an hour & 1/2 when I had an appointment at 315, I was told 20 more minutes 3 different times. Staff incorrectly scheduled me twice & delayed my cortisone injection. Unprofessional

Quackery, malpractice, conservative religious fanatics, security are bully thugs. They gave me a ham sandwich. I thought they were vegetarian. Steer clear of here.

Most disappointing hospital stay I've ever had!! Waited fours hours for a doctor to see me and only bc I forced the issue. Never go back!! Don't choose PAH hospital!!

Do not by any means send anyone to this hospital if they have a chronic incurable condition. The Emergency Room Doctor put a DNR on my sisters record before sending her up to the floor. Luckily when she went into full cardiac arrest the next morning the nurse didn t see and saved her life. The doctor actually Apoliges to me because they had saved her. I have been trying for a week to speak to someone in administration requesting daily while my sister was still in the hospital. Sent emails. Still no response. I will keep trying to get some answers but in the meantime I am reaching out to every avenue to warn people about this hospital

I'm not sure what happened on my er visit, it was a huge waste of time and money though.

I was attacked with a car and hit twice, once with my back turned and then once when I was facing the car. I was sore, but didn't think anything was broken.
I went to the E.R. a few days later with severe back pain and they took x-rays and sent me on my way . I honestly don't even think I saw a dr, I know I was never actually examined. I don't know if its because I don't have health coverage or what, but now I'm wondering what it is I'm paying for here.......................

They send me junk mail, and there's no way to get off their mailing list. Doesn't seem great.

Update: 2 months later, more junk mail. They have not honored my request to be removed. The campaign continues unabated!

They are all kind, compassionate, dedicated to excellence!
