Providence Milwaukie Hospital

I came in with a concern that black mold being in the home for about 6 months now. I repeatedly get “bronchitis” every 2-3 months and the ACTUAL DOCTOR claims mold has only mild effect to why I’m actually sick. The doctor then said to do an x-Ray but wouldn’t specify why I needed one. I denied him and called him out, and he AGREED THAT THE X RAY WASNT NECESSARY. They will make you feel unimportant and try to just upcharge me. DO NOT GO HERE UNLESS YOU ARE LITERALLY DYING

Been there two hours for bad sciatica pain in the w as iting room, watching other after me go in and out. No updates, nothing. Went to leave and they didnt even care. What a great hospital. Never going here again.

Terrible communication for husbands of patients. Told 1.5 hours, 2, 2.5 most they would call me. At 3 hours I talked to receptionist. Then talked to doctor and she said 15 min. Now over 4 hours and still nothing. Terrible experience. Nurse cleaned up floor with towel then used it as arm rest for IV inset and set on steril table with needles, vials, etc. HORRIBLE! Apparently surgery went well.....

The ER. If you have a choice, go to another ER. Milwaukie Providence ER really is terrible in terms of quality of care. Staff ambivalent. Diagnosis often useless. X-ray, MRI techs impatient and too rough with all the parts of you that hurt. 6 experiences with this ER.

I am new to the area and called in advance before going to the ER to see if they were IN NETWORK with my insurance company. I got an emphatic “We are happy to accept PacificSource, and will bill any insurance, come on in”. I got hit with a $2,391.51 out of pocket bill to treat a migraine; medical assessment and two IM injections. When calling to express concern for the misleading answer to my specific question there was no accountability. I was asking for their representatives to be trained to answer in clear and direct communication. A statement such as Providence is happy to accept payment from any party, but check with your insurance directly to know your benefits would have helped me make the best decision. As long as I have a choice in health care I will never go back. They were also not willing to negotiate reduced rates which would have been the case if they honored a contractual discount if they were IN NETWORK.
