A Caring Closet - Vancouver (WA)

David B I was reluctant due to the low ratings, but I had a great experience. From getting setup as a new patient, quickly getting into a exam room, onsite lab work and diagnosis from the doctor. Everyone was attentive, helpful and genuinely caring. Not sure about the low ratings. Perhaps more happy customers need to take a moment to give a review.

Jason Van Camp This review will only discuss the quality of care, since none of the billing has had time to process yet, and I see the concerns of other previous reviewers; I have had similarly ridiculous, convoluted issues with OHSU in the past, so I am wary of the fallibility of a health care providers billing department. My wife underwent a minor but still somewhat frightening procedure involving an epidural-like injection into her spine, to alleviate the pain and symptoms related to a pinched nerve between two vertebrae. Thankfully, she felt she was in good hands with Dr. Kafrouni who, despite looking a bit like a young John Kreese from Cobra Kai, was exceptionally caring, communicative, reassuring, knowledgeable, and clear in his descriptions of the procedure itself, as well as all after-care instructions. Whether this procedure will be the silver bullet that fixes my wifes issue has yet to be seen: the effects of the injection will take days to manifest, and a full vertebrae-replacement surgery is still in the cards if it doesnt). Either way, Dr. Kafrounis insight into the nature of her suffering, the likelihood of it being transient versus permanent, the symptoms to watch out for (in case of the latter), and the path towards total recovery, in addition to his excellent surgical prowess and incredible bedside manner, made the whole experience so much less frightening and frustrating as it could have been. PeaceHealth as an entity may not be perfect (far from it), but surgeons like Dr. Kafrouni arent far off the mark.

Hope H Service is always top notch. A little longer than normal for wait times on this particular visit, but the staff are always courteous and prepared to answer all questions.

Bruce Larson Its a VA Medical Center... Its not a commercial facility. They only cater to qualified Veterans. The people who work here seem wonderful to me. I am treated with care. The Dental Facilities here, as well as the staff are the best I have ever experienced anywhere! My PMCP is here, and I am very pleased with my treatment.

Kelsey Collins I thought they did a wonderful job. My pup has a fairly even temperament, but was understandably very nervous for her first vet visit in many years. The staff here all did their best to make her comfortable and did all the care quickly, so as not to stress her more. I would recommend them to friends and family and look forward to returning for her next dental visit.

Gloria Lionz Dr. Cara Olsen is my chiropractor @ Just for the Health of It. My spine has been a challenge my entire life; genetics have a way of keeping track of us! But Dr. Cs approach is so eclectic, collaborative and comprehensive I trust her impeccably. A SOLID relationship with ones physician should incorporate progress reports AND learning; CHECK! Her staff are motivated help patients too. Dr. Cara & her team rate an A++ from me! ;-)

Kathaleen Parker My recent visit to the Kaiser Salmon Creek Medical offices for a Scan procedure was an easy experience in Vancouver WA. The campus had good parking, easy freeway access and made the appointment process comfortable, professional and friendly. Although there were lots of patients there on the day of my Radiology appointment, I was done and on my way home quickly. The Radiology clinician explained her process with kind professionalism. The organization and quality trained staff is making my rating of the Kaiser Permanente Salmon Creek campus a 5-star experience.

Deborah Joling As a Registered Nurse I frequently cared for Dr Michael Paradis patients and found him to be an excellent anesthesiologist. When I needed surgery I specifically requested him for my procedure. Knowing he would be managing my anesthesia was a large part of my decision to travel to Vancouver for surgery rather than having it in Bend where I live. As I had expected he handled it perfectly. I recommend him highly and thank him for his excellent care.

Mary Williams I woke up with my left eye blurry. My doctor referred me to PeaceHealth Eye care. The Appointment scheduler found me an appointment the same day. The Tech that did the preliminary examine was very nice and professional. The Ophthalmologist who reviewed my examine was also very nice and professional. He explained what the procedure would be to help resolve my issue. He answered all my questions and concerns. I was able to schedule an appointment for the procedure in two days with Dr Valent. He explained every step of the process, answered all my questions and was very empathic with my concerns. My husband who was a nurse was impressed with his knowledge and his caring of my issue. The office is very professional and caring. I will be coming here in the future for my annual exams.
