About
Welcome to Legacy Health's primary care clinics, the first step to better health. Our clinics are certified patient-centered medical homes. A medical home clinic means that you and your family are at the center of our care, surrounded by a team that consists of your primary care provider, nurse, medical assistant, social worker, counselor and clerical staff. This team is focused on your health needs.
Being in a patient-centered medical home means that your care team knows your health history, listens to your concerns, and coordinates care with other specialists and health providers. We care for you when you are sick, but, more importantly, we work with you to keep you well.
Please read this before making an appointment
Medicare patients, please note: Some of our clinics are considered "hospital-based" because they share the same licensure with a Legacy hospital. The services or procedures you receive at Legacy's hospital-based clinics may include a facility charge in addition to a physician charge.
Patient Comments
Legacy wants every patient to have great care, every time. To help measure and improve patient satisfaction, we send surveys to randomly selected patients after their appointments. We use this feedback from the surveys to improve and enhance the care we offer. Learn more about our surveys & ratings
The visit was smooth and easy. The doctor and assistants were polite and knew what they were doing.
Dr. Farrell is excellent. She listens well and addresses my concerns. She is clear in her explanations and is practical in her approach to problems and needs. She's efficient in how she manages her time and tasks in the exam room yet I never feel rushed or dismissed.I especially like being able to use MyHealth to communicate to her any concerns in between visits and she always answers in a timely manner, usually the same day or the next day.I would highly recommend her to family and friends however her patient time in clinic is extremely limited and I'm assuming her practice is closed to new patients.
Love this place
Everyone that I encountered treated me with friendliness and respect. I never felt rushed. All of my questions were answered. Follow up appointments for x-rays were handled. I always feel comfortable with discussing any concerns I might have.
My provider continues to be a very good listener. I appreciate that.
In reality it is very difficult to get in to see any Dr. But this office has almost always been good.
Excellent
Dr. Tewfik is a rock star!
Staff friendly, provider explained new care plan for new health care concerns
Everything went perfectly.
This is the best care team I've ever had and my doctor is a very caring person that listens to me
The doctor knows my medical issues. She is cautious about my health bc/c of my age I appreciate that she has sent me to specialists when she thought it would be helpful.
I am very thankful for my doctor, she has always listened to me and has been understanding of my concerns. She answers all my questions and listens. I am so thankful for her.
I have been with Dr. Farrell and her team for many years. I understand and accept that an type of delays in seeing her is because she is such a good provider. My family (extended family) has seen her for years and stayed with her because of her caring care. She and her team have just always been really good!
Dr. Tewfik took a real interest in me.
I was able to get an appointment very quickly, and see my usual provider
Always a pleasure
I always have a great experience with Dr. Beth Smith.
Beth Smith demonstrates superlative compassion, listening skills, and care. If all procers were like her, the world would be a markedly better place. We need more providers with advaned Human-relating skills like Dr. Smith (fewer dominant, robotic, striving, competitive providers).
All good experience
Dr Smith is one of the best doctors I've seen. She's attentive, knowledgeable, kind, and a good listener. She always treats me with respect. Very lucky to have her as my primary care doctor!
Dr Lawson understood immediately my main concern. In addition he listened and responded to other issues I thought were related to it. He addressed both very clearly and effectively. He presented clear treatment options and suggested an optimal path to resolving the main problem. His treatment path also addressed the secondary issues he felt were relevant to the current problem.
Dr. Smith continues to amaze me, with her depth of knowledge, clinical acumen, efficiency, and compassion. Lijewuse, her staff is knowledgeable, efficient, and caring. I feel so fortunate to have her and her team!
Dr Tewfik was personable. Listened to my issues and got busy to resolve the issue. He was thorough and took precautions to order an ultrasound for my hurting, injured leg.
Dr. Tewfik tops!!
Never feel rushed, spends time asking questions and giving me time to answer. Complex medical history. Offers choices and follows up. Great Provider.
Doctor is always professional and kind and always knows my health history
I like Dr. Lawson & his staff very much.
The visit was good. She was very kind and respectful - just seemed hurried.
I love my doctor she is very generous and great friendly
BEST DOCTOR AT LEGACY HEALTH
I appreciate this doctor and all the clinic staff
Dr Tewfik is caring doctor, he listen, and respectful.
I had a very good experience with doctor Tewfik Michael h, he is a very good doctor, kind, understanding, explain very thing well, I didn't even have to wait half an hour to be seen, I love that part, Thank you
My medical care has been the best I have ever had in my whole life. Legacy is the best by far!
Dr Tewfik is very kind and listens to my concerns. He is the best doctor in my experience with doctors. He is outstanding!!
Great listener and explains everything in details.
I receive excellent care/service from everyone ans particularly Dr Tewfik for many years
Its good to see so many people working to help Darren Black. Thank you!!! Tammie Campbell
Very good. They took the time to make a plan. I felt like I was on my way to healing.
Dr. Terrazone-Yu is the best doctor I've ever had. She listens to me like no doctor ever has and is so knowledgeable and sympathetic. She is helping me so much and I'm so happy to have found her. I can talk to her about everything and she helps find a solution to my problem. She remembers everything about me and I can tell she really cares.
Nurse Sarah and Dr. Lawson were both very professional and respectful.
I had a good visit
Very helpful calm and reassuring even when working with computers down from world wide malfunction. Thanks again JE Sonneland
I truly liked Dr. I saw.Very thoughtful and experienced.Asked good questions concerning my health and listened to my concerns and addressed each one.
Excellent care from beginning to end.
Dr. Terrazona Yu is very knowledgeable about update information about standard of care but she approached me as though I am trying to pull something over on her. I asked her about some spotting post menopause and she could have referred me to a gynecologist at that point but instead had me come in and do a pap smear - at which point she still referred me out to a gynecologist. I am having problems with continued sinus infection and she told me that it's chronic and I should get used to it or go back to my ENT - who is difficult to get into in a timely manner. She also hadn't read my chart and didn't remember that I had a CT scan for abdominal pain and was going to order another one until I reminded her. My previous doctor used to read my chart before she made recommendations for labs/tests. My observation is that Dr. Terrazona-Yu likes the knowledge/expertise aspect of being a doctor but maybe not the patient relationship as much. I feel that there are times when she comes across as dismissive. I hope this is just a me problem. We have a terrible primary care doctor shortage in Oregon and probably nationally so we need to support the ones we have but I will likely switch because I am, unfortunately medically complicated, due to a chronic condition and need someone who will work with me person to person.
My visit was pleasant and wholly satisfactory.
Very good
I have seen Dr. Tewfik since he was in residency. We have always had an welcoming, respectful, and open professional relationship. If we were staying in Portland I would stay under his professional treatment.I respect him as a professional and he has respected me as a Legacy Chaplain.
Mixed up X-ray orders for left knee
Everything is always excellent.
Dr Farrell is always kind, considerate, interested and knowledgeable
Every thing went well
Dr Tewfik is that rare medical professional who is both engaging and deeply knowledgeable. I have never visited without learning some valuable piece of information that relates positively to my health. Also, his knowledge of very capable providers within the Legacy system is fantastic. I'm super grateful to have him as my GP.
Its ben nigh impossible to get an appointment with sleep medicines as referred.And I was referred to orthopedics after I got an xray on my leg. However orthopedics doesnt see people with injuries not on joints. I called the referral nurse to ask for a different referral and they never called me back
Dr L seems like a truly compassionate person
None
I personally love my doctor in the clinic that I go to and I'm just really grateful to have people that understand my needs. Regardless of my nationality or sex. Overall in my visit I will give them a 10 they are always very good that job is not easy to do so for anybody doing it I give them a plus. Sometimes it's not easy but they manage to handle it very well and I think it's okay at times if people are not their self. We are all humans. So I would give my doctor clinic all of them at 10 which means very good service.
Dr Kyle Lawson poo-pooed my new hip and back pain issues. He said most likely It's just my age and arthritis. I'm only 63! He felt my pain could be improved with PT. I said how do we know there is no injury in my back. He finally agreed with me to do xrays and did order xrays for my back but neglected to include in the orders an xray for my hip, where most of my pain is and the main reason for my visit with him.
The security didn't clean the screening bins between patients and didn't have anything to wipe it down with. The person ahead of me had a runny nose and kept touching it with their hands, then touching their stuff. Forcing us to put our belongings in contaminated bins and not cleaning it between patients is going to spread infection.
Teri McCallam NP is my new medical provider. She replaced Dr Steven Seres who relocated, necessitating this change. She was assigned and I wasn't really given a choice and I was very apprehensive. However, after the first minute of meeting her I knew I had been blessed a second time, with another practitioner that would help me attain my health goals, working together towards improving every aspect of my quality of life Teri McCallam is a blessing to me !!!
Dr. Smith responds to my questions in MyHealth VERY promptly.That is so reassuring to me. I know I'll hear from her in time to do some good.
Doctor was interested and attentive to what I told her.
Dr. S.irh was my mom's Dr before she passed. She has been very helpful getting me through the stress of loosing my mom.
Dr Smith and the staff are extremely knowledgeable, professional and gracious.
Yet is fabulous. Was my first vidit to clinic since Dr. Seres left. What an asset!!!!
Dr Tewfik, his assistant, and staff are all thoughtful, professional and knowledgeable. I greatly appreciate all of their help and supportthanks!
Health care is very expensive for me. Seems like all my providers seemed shocked that I have finicial questions. Nobody seems prepaired to talk about costs for procedures and care. The only answer I get is contact your insurance. Insurance maxes out at $22,000 per year. Why cant I manage procedures needed with in that cost?
Dr. Lori farrell is excellent...i've been seeing her for at least 20 yrs or so......she Is always organized and has a plan, plus being a fine listener..........the staff is fabulous too from the clerk checking in, to the medical asst...thx so much
Dr Farrell is a awesome doctor.
Almost no time in waiting room, better than in the past. I wasn't asked to re-answer Qs I've answered many time before. Dr Smith came in very soon after the MA. She spent a decent amt of time addressing my concerns.
I really like my doctor but it is very difficult to get in to see her in a timely manner. I usually have to wait several weeks for an appt., and even then I can only get like a 20 minute appt, which is not enough time to have a truly thorough visit.
Like Dr Lawson. He is very professional and helpful and caring. Knows what he is doing.
Wait times to schedule an appointment are extremely long.
Everything went as expected and planned in a very comfortable, pleasant manner.
Dr. Lawson provided me with valuable information about my health. He was very kind. He was very generous with his time. I was very pleased with my first visit with Dr. Lawson!
All staff is excellent, including my doctor, Dr. Marion Smith
Very helpful staff. Didn't have to wait in waiting room for long. Dr Smith was very attentive and listened to my concerns.
This provider had to told directly to perform a basic physical exam. Would not have performed if not explicitly asked. Continued to refer to statistics saying he has 1800 patients. Made me feel like a number not a person. Did not listen and could not elaborate thoughts appropriately. Inappropriately chuckled when he believed he was right during a back and forth discussing symptoms. Did not feel heard nor seen by this provider. This provider will cause damage at some point in career with the mindset of treatment by statistics and not providing thorough care.
Wait time to be seen was long but she always gives you all of her attention. She is very thorough in my visits and follows me closely.
Friendly, reasonably on time. Remembered me from previous visits.
Great staff beginning to end
I feel completely safe and respected and supported by Dr. Tewfik in any physical or mental health concern.
It was a good appointment
Over all I've always had satisfactory services.
This was my first time seeing Dr. Lawson. I had intended to establish care with him. However, after explaining an issue that I have been experiencing with my finger, he referred to it as a "princess and the pea" situation. I found that to be very unprofessional and hurtful. I will not be continuing care with Dr. Lawson because of that. My wife and I will not continue using this provider and will be looking elsewhere to establish care.
Good
Dr. Tewfik is a good communicator. He gave me plenty of time to express my concerns. He made a number of helpful recommendations and referals. Most of my interactions with this provider and staff have been on MyHealth portal, not the telephone. The delay in seeing me in the exam room seemed to be because of a difficult situation with the previous patient and needing more time. The doctor takes the time needed to attend to his patients' needs.
Every time I have my annual health exam with blood work I request a vitamin d test and I amALWAYS hassled about it by dr. Tewfik. Saying it's not covered under insurance and I will pay out of pocket and how he will get a call fromSomeone bc he approved it what is the big deal? It's MY health and a test I WANT and will pay for and frankly I'm sick of the harassment. Give me the tests I want and I will pay for it. It's ridiculous to give me a hard time for a Vit D test when I always test low and trying to get it to a healthier place. VIT D levels are crucial to many functions within the body so honor my request. :)
Dr Smith was listened carefully to my concerns, examined the area of my concern and gave me helpful and knowledgeable suggestions.
She listens, gives you options or refers you to someone else if the issue requires a specialist.
Good
My Doctor seems rather rushed
For my 1st visit I had to wait 5 months yet my prior pcp had left this practice after seeing me for 25 years. That seemed very uncalled for
She listenwell
The bad comment is comnication with staff getting back to me 3 to 4 days have to wait for the phone call
Was good
I like Dr. Lawson & all of the staff.
Dr. Smith is an excellent physician.
As has always been my experience, Dr. Smith knows my history and Is thoughtful in finding alternative remedies to my problems. I feel she is genuinely concerned about my well being.
Dr. Smith is a great caring Doctor. My only complaint is she is so busy I can't get in in a timely manner. For example, I was in ICU for 4days. When discharged I was to make an appointment with my primary Dr. Within a week. It took me a month and a half. When I did finally see her, she answered all my questions, checked areas on me that needed attention. She explained things I didn't understand. She is a great Doctor. I just wish it was easier for me to make an appointment when I really need to see her.
My visits have been positive experiences related to health care and interaction with professionals and staff.
All my concerns and questions were answered.
I always have an good experience with my doctor and she is extremly helpful in explaining thing to me.
Dr. Kyle listens and is very helpful.
If this practice was taking new patients, I would definitely recommend Dr. Farrell.
Dr. Lawson and his medical assistant are very kind and professional. Neither one pushes unnecessary treatment or testing but listen attentively to what I am saying. I trust their medical knowledge and appreciated that they use it in my behalf.
Dr Lawson always makes time to listen to me, gives me good advice and always follows up when needed, very happy with my care!
Distance from home is not optimal.
With covid restrictions lifted, I would like a return of information folders and magazines to waiting rooms, including ID of providers within the clinic. It feels as if PC's no longer care about follow-up care for the future long term routine, addressing only what's in the present. No more "see you in 6 mo" concern.
Always very thorough
Limited my visit to ER followup & declined to do my diabetic or annual welfare exam; told me to eschedule instead.
Dr Farrell represents the best at Legacy !
Excellent care and service with dr tewfik as always
I had a question that was very important for me to have a good answer and I was pleased receive said answer
I absolutely love MyChart and the ease with which it is to schedule and communicate with my doctor and medical assistants. They are always extremely prompt at responding to my questions and concerns.
My first in person visit with Dr. Lawson went very well.
Very long wait-greater than an hour. Appreciated MA , Katelyn's updates on wait. MA Katelyn was excellent. I am very fond of Dr Farrell. I trust her and appreciate her thoroughness, the time she gives each patient and her good judgement. I wish she was a little warmer.
Everything was great. However, I would by no means call this a SHORT survey - too long and somewhat repetitious.
I love Dr. Tarrazona Yu !
Dr Smith listened to my concerns about my immediate need for medication for my illness and acted accordingly.
Getting a response on line took 3 times in two weeks. Then wanted to schedule another 2 weeks out. Phone call person was rude, wouldn't put me on a wait list, was sarcastic, wouldn't give her name and hung up on me.
My experiences were always very helpful and kind.
No applicable
Pleasant
Everyone was great from the time I walked into the clinic to the time I left. Sarah his assistant was great she made me feel at ease and she made me laugh. I truly appreciate her. Thank you
Doctor, MA and clerical staff were excellent, professional and caring. My appointment was directed to treat my current "issue" as well as log in some routine medical tracking information to verify how my health currently is. I'm very pleased with the service I was provided.
Dr Farrell has been my doctor for many years and always takes as much time as needed to discuss my many medical issues. She's wonderful!
Dr Tewfik is one of the best providers in all legacy system, I am lucky to have him as a PCP
Very professional
I really liked that they had a special waiting area just for people with cold symptoms
Very good ALWAYS!
20 years with this great practitioner. I have 100% confidence in him.
Everyone was great-professional, friendly, patient and understanding
I've had great experience with this doctor.
My provider is a very caring and smart person. However I sense that perhaps she has too many patients to see and not enough time. She is usually rushed and seemed particularly stressed this time. I never feel I have enough time to talk to her about my health issues. I don't think she really knows enough about me to know what might be going on with my health. I have unresolved issues and I'm not sure what to do. Perhaps I need referrals to other providers?
The PA was great and Dr. Tewfik is an excellent PCP.
Since I have been going to Dr Farrell for so long the extended wait times to see her are not an issue but I expect that she's running behind because she is so thorough with all her patients. I appreciate her thoroughness.
I was very pleased with my visit with Dr. Lawson. He's knowledgeable; he listens; his answers are clear. I don't feel rushed. He's present with you, not distracted. Assistant was kind, courteous, efficient, professional.
My blood tests needed follow up and Dr Lawson quickly provided additional referrals. He called me in person after my last set of blood work came back and referred me on to the hematology oncology department. I was most impressed that he called me late on a Friday evening to explain the process. Very empathetic to my needs.
Lori Farrell is very good. She listens, ask questions and very helpful. Even when she is running late she takes time. I have no problem if she is a little behind.
:)
I initially called to make an appointment for my annual Medicare Wellness exam. I didn't realize until I arrived that I was only registered for a 20 minute meeting with Dr. Smith. I still need to schedule the Medicare Wellness exam and will probably do it in the summer.
DR. TEWFIK IS A STELLAR EXAMPLE OF SOLID PATIENT CARE!!!
Dr. Lawson and the team were so kind and helpful. Dr. Lawson spent a lot of time with me to discuss all of my questions and concerns from my recent health problems. I felt heard and understood. He explained everything to me and offered great advice and solutions to each of my concerns. I would definitely recommend him to others.
Dr Lawson was very personable and knowledgeable.
My 9:00am appointment was canceled at 4:30 the afternoon before and then couldn't get a new one for 3 weeks. Then when in the office doctor was 30 minutes late
Dr.Smith has always been a very attentive Takes the time to listen and address our needs. Thank you
Sad that we have to go through Metal dectors everywhere.
Front office staff very helpful with question. Dr showed empathy, and knowledge about area of concern. A very good visit!
I had many needs today on my visit and all were met. Thanks so much.
I have already recommended him to others.
Been with Dr. Farrell for I think over 20 years. She always takes care of me.
She just seemed in a hurry and able to give me limited help with the issue.
I've noticed since Dr. Urbach left, the clinic seems understaffed and overwhelmed. They are poor to return messages and respond to needs. The staff and new doctors seem very uninterested.
Had nothing but a good experience.
Dr. Lawson lacked warmth, empathy and just wanted to get out of the exam room as quick as possible. Very poor bedside manner and would never recommend seeing him to anyone.
I always have & have had enjoyable office visits when Dr. Lawson is present.
Dr Smith was flexible and discussed an issue I raised that was not the primary purpose of this visit. She also developed a plan for my concerns and made a referral for specialized care.
I think this office does a very good job. I am pleased with the care they provide.
She has been my Doctor for alot of years, I just love her, I have recommended her to my friend. She is Easy to talk to, I can tell her anything, She always gives me an honest and true answer. Even if I don't like it ,,, like losing weight,,,,quitting smoking ,,,etc She is a really good Doctor
Dr Tewfik love the old school doctor rear breed the best
Love Dr. Tarrazona-Yu. She was my mom's doctor before she moved to another state. And she's now my sister's doctor.
Had appt. CXL due to dr. Being ill. Rescheduled within 2 weeks, asked office staff if I would need to complete check-in forms again. Had no idea. Also asked about office giving RSV shots, no idea. Hard to believe that I'm the only patient with basic questions.
First visit with this doctor and treated well with respect.
Dr. Tewfik is very thorough and capable, but he moves and talks very quickly. Personally, I like that, but I don't know if I would recommend that for friends or family. Maybe he works more slowly for patients who prefer that, I don't know.
I have seen Dr. Farrell for many years and I am so grateful for her care. She always listens and spends time understanding my concerns. She is very knowledgable and competent.
Everything went well
Over an hour wait for an 8:30 am Friday morning appointment even though I arrived 10 minutes early - unacceptable
I was pleased to learn that I could get travel advice from my primary care doctor instead of going to the travel clinic.
I always enjoy my visit with Dr. Lawson. He is very thorough and friendly and knowledgeable about my condition.
I love Dr. Ferrell, but I waited for 1.5 hours after my appointment time to see her. She is worth the wait, but it sure screwed up my day.
All good, excellent staff and Doctor's at all visits.
Na
I feel my Dr.and her assistence are very good
Very busy that day. Short on help this day.
The metal detection and complete search of all my personal items, including looking in my magazines and medical record file folders was ridiculous. What an immature assessment of risk. People have gotten shot at Home Depot's and restaurants- there are no metal detectors to get in there. This is a patient clinic. How many dollars are being used to fund this performative nonesense rather than providing medical care? No wonder blue cross is dropping you when you are spending millions on this.
Always a thorough exam. Nice to see doctor annually.
Dr. Tewfik is truly one of the best providers. I drive quite a long distance to attend appointments with him and am so glad that I do!
Very efficient
I'm 71. I needed a new Family Doctor since my move from Salem 8 years ago. I DEFIANTLY made the best choice.
ALWAYS have all medical needs and concerns thoroughly addressed by an excellent staff. Thank you.
Dr. Tewfick is an excellent provider and the team is also excellent.
Under staffed, waited long time for Dr was hired.i think the office is doing the best they can in this situation. It's frustrating for me & other patients.
I'm very pleased with this visit as always, because my care provider listened to me.
Dr Tewfik is a gem of a Dr. He is old school in that he takes his time and really wants to connect with his patient. I feel like I have the best advocate for my health!
I've been very happy with this provider.
Originally appointment was far off, but always say yes to being available to earlier appointments due to cancellation. Have always gotten a response and an earlier appointment.
I have only saw her two times so I am still evaluating my Doctor client relationship. I do have say this second visit was much better than my first visit.
My visit was very good and informative. Everyone was respectful and pleasant. All around, it was great.
I've always had good service with Legacy' staff.No complaints about anything.
My visits are always good, I usually go in take care of business and out of there.
None
Dr. Smith is an excellent doctor for me. I first met her at OHSU and later she moved to Legacy Emmanuel. She is a good communicator and she cares about me and my health concerns. I am 79 years old and have arthritic problems with my joints..
I'm happy to have Dr. Lawson. A very good doctor, I'm very happy and glad that he is my doctor.
Dr.Tarrazona-Yu is very knowledgeable, and courteous.
He explains things really well. But when I brought up an example of what I experienced with my ear crud after not eating sugar for 3 weeks he apparently didn't think at first that it was relevant to the subject and urged me to stay on subject, whIch was diabetes. I explained to him that it was related. My question might have seemed to him a bit random in the overall context of the subject of diabetes.
My wife and I can't get a replacement primary care doctor or a geriatric doctor in Legacy since Dr, Seres left the practice back in May and Dr. Root has retired . I wished you would get those positions filled. Thank you.
Dr. Lawson is an excellent new doctor after I had Dr. Urbach for the last 15+ years. Very glad he is on staff!
I would recommend Dr Smith to anyone in the world. She's one of the best doctors I ever had and I have recommended her to my family. Thank you for your survey.
Knowledable and easy to talk to
My provider is excellent in her abilities as a physician and as a human being.
I've always had a very good experience with Dr Farrell. I think she is a wonderful and caring Dr.
Dr Tewfik is a consummate professional, doesn't rush, listens well, and knows medicine
I'll try to help me whatever he can
Great experience with my provider. However, I called to get a new patient appt in June 2023 and the first available was Jan 4, 2024. That is way too long to wait to establish care.
Disappointed to hear that Dr.Tewfik is 40% over his patient care capacity ~ therefore,I still do not have a new primary care physician since Dr. Daniel Urbach's retirement. No referrals are available either!
On time, knowledgeable, succinct, professional demeanor, personable, helpful.
Dr Smith always provides great service to me.
She was confrontational and argued with me over a 0.25 mg Xanax prescription and insinuated I must be taking too many. (28 in the bottle). Ordered blood work and snarkely said your kidney function wasn't great last time". She hadn't read the chart. My creatinine was high in May I assume because I was 4 weeks into severe colitis and couldn't stay hydrated. I've been patient of Dr Urbach for over 30 years. She was assigned' apparently to do my annual. She was not warm and friendly, she did not appear to be empathetic, I was astounded she wanted me to bring my pill bottle in next time to count the pills!!!!! Seriously? I've been a med mal paralegal for 48 years. I told her that. I am well aware of issues with benzos. They are prescribed for anxiety as I need to use. After she had me sign opioid contract she left. She didn't ask any other questions about issues I might be having or concerns and at that point I was livid so wouldn't have been productive. I do not want her involved in my care again
I have always had excellent care at this clinic. This was my first visit with this particular provider and she was just as excellent as the other providers that I have seen. I have lived alot of years and the medical care at this facility with all the people who work there has been the best care I have ever experienced.
The Doctor Helped answer questions I had and want to ask .
The doctor was not aware I was there for an annual Medicare wellness check and didn't allow for more time. Why not? Fortunately, he was not too busy that day. Legacy records were not up to date on my vaccination records. Why not? My pharmacist said that's because the doctor's office has not retrieved the information from the national ALERT medical database.
I had to wait almost 1 year to get an appointment, eventhough my concern of losing weight....unbelievable!!!!
Doctor was very thorough and somewhat personable. Staff was very friendly yet professional. All were sensitive to my disability, parentheses blindness and parentheses.
Dr Smith listens well & responded to an email correspondence a few weeks ago. I was very impressed with her follow thru! I feel valued!!
He is very good doctor I would recommend him to my family
She was in a lot of hurry. The visit felt rushed
I generally like Dr Tewfik, and my comments and ratings in this survey aren't necessarily representative of my general feelings. But there was a major misunderstanding during this meeting. I was asked to come in for a controlled substances discussion. I had no idea I would be asked to take a drug test, and I was not told what the drug test was screening for. I assumed it was screening for OPIs which I have a prescription for. I was made aware that it was also screening for amphetamines. I don't have a problem with any of these things. However I do use marijuana recreationally from time to time, and did a few weeks ago. I am currently applying for new life insurance, and have intentionally abstained for over 3 weeks, and tested myself recently and was clean at 20 ng in the middle of the day. The test I was asked to do, included screening for marijuana at 19 ng, It was taken first thing in the morning, before I had drunk anything, and I would of absolutely not consented to doing the test if I had known this. I know how sensitive marijuana tests are, and how long it takes to clear the system. I now have a giant red flag on my medical record despite being an incredibly healthy individual, who does not use alcohol, and uses marijuana recreationally occasionally with decent balance. I'm extremely unhappy about this.
Good experience
Everyone in the clinic were professional and pleasant.
Doctor listened to my concerns and was proactive.
Always good experience.
No particular comments.
The visit was perfect. Dr Smith was very thorough explaining any questions I had regarding my health.
Dr. Tewfik is fantastic. My former primary care doctor recently retired. Dr. Tewfik saw me for this appointment acting as a substitute primary care doctor. He had studied my medical record very thoroughly. He was very well prepared to discuss my medical situation with me. I left very Impressed by Dr. Tewfik. I wish I could have him for my new primary care doctor.
My doctor is very dismissive of me, regularly getting up and saying "I'll walk you out."
Love my doctor
This was my first visit with Dr. Tewfik. It all went very well except that he seemed rushed.
It took 4 days for my regular health care provider to respond to my portal. I called and left messages after the 2 and 3 day but got no call back to an urgent health care need.
Dr. Tarrazon-Yu is very responsive if I message her with a question through My Chart. I appreciate that. I appreciate that she referred me to an endocrinologist to manage my osteoporosis. She Is very attentive.
Excellent doctor and staff! My concern Is rush/pressure created by healthcare system to see patients for short Intervals - unfortunate.
My Provider Tarrazona MD , she is very Professional , effective and efficient , overall polite and very kind , excellent physician..
I am very lucky to have all the staff in this office to be helping me !
Dr Tewfik has been my primary care doctor for many years and he has always provided the best care. He listens to my concerns, answers my questions in a way that is easily understood, recommends the right treatment for any health issues I've experienced. The reception and nursing staff are always very friendly, professional and courteous.

Dr. Smith is such a joy to work with - she listens carefully and makes recommendations that are sensible and achievable. MA Amanda went above and beyond, tracking me down when I left my Kindle there, and ensuring I got it back safely. Great provider, great office staff!
My disability was NOT taken seriously. I was treated disrespectfully for requesting medication I have taken for nearly a decade. I expressed my Inability to read a form, and Instead of accommodating my disability, I was treated like a drug addict. I was forced to "cold turkey" from these meds and it has severely impacted my life. I am about to lose my job, I totaled my car, and am completely unable to function without my medication. How this clinic mishandled this situation was despicable, and I am actively seeking legal advice.
MA in office better then any other staff assistants I have encountered in this office . Very confident, Reassuring and sensitive in her manner,Dr. Farrell very good listener.and supportive,
Very Awesome
I had not seen this doctor before. I was a patient of Urbach.
He said he won't be my provider.He was rushed, impersonal.
First time meeting Dr. Tewfik, excellent meeting! Took the the time to talk and listen to me, was very attentive because of my age of 81! I was in good health and wanted to keep that way!!!
Dr. Smith answered all my questions.
I have a wonderful time with my visit with them
Facility is terrible. Needs paint. Things are broken. Invest a bit. This is your reflection to patients. The lab used to be good, it is absolute terrible now. What changed?
I have been a patient of this clinic for over 20 years. When I knew Dr Seres was leaving I tried to get transferred to another provider. It took me 6 months to get an appointment with someone else. I had to call the office to get my prescriptions filled. And I had a mammogram done in July that no one in your office looked at the results. It was normal but I think I was the only one who looked at the results. Dr Tewfik was fine to see but it would have been nice to have follow up after Dr Seres left
The doctor explained what was going on and gave some great options that weren't antibiotics. I liked him a lot
