First time in years that I was presented with a Physician that truly show interest and a professional demeanor of care . I was given his full attention and was able to voice all my concerns, lack of care in the past, Greatly appreciated the opportunity to continue the care provided by LEGACY.
Thanks to the Doctor for actually listening to my needs!
Dr. Schrattenholzer is the best doctor that I have ever had. He listens to you and responds to any questions or concerns on your total health.
Dr Price and staff have been caring for me for quite some time. It's always good and has helped me.I appreciate that they made time for me !.
Dr Schrattenholzer did a wonderful job of reviewing my MRI and showing me different views after a detailed examVery thorough and friendly
My doctor (a pain specialist) is working with me to try to resolve a long-term problem. I feel she takes a lot of trouble to help me.
Dr. S. Is the most empathetic doctor I've ever had, I adore him
Excellent care,
I would only request that Dr Lechty not be quite so scientific. I know alot about my issues, but don't need to know all the nerve groups etc. It was interesting but not needed or wanted. I wasn't sure how to say it to her. I love her otherwise. Final, overall visit was productive and ended well.
I would 100% recommend Dr. Price to my friends and family.
She is saving my life and I am so grateful. I hope we win.
Great and compassionate care at all visits.
Dr Nemeth is a very good doctor. He listens to all my concerns and answers all the questions I ask taking time to make sure I understand. Also he sets up a plan what to do next.
I always look forward to my appointments with Kara. She's the best! She is VERY knowledgeable, professional and I can see that she enjoys what she does for her patients. Two thumbs up!
Dr Leichty is amazing. She is caring, knowledgeable and very up to date in regards to possible treatments
Kara Liechty has been amazing and so very caring. She performs above and beyond her title. The care she provides is equal to PcP. She manages my medications, provides guidences on supplements, captures my concerns using my words, saves my messages to capture my pain and concerns. I would to have Kara Liechty as my primary care provider. Highly recommend this provider.
I would recommend the clinic and Dr Price to everyone. Excellent provider excellent clinic
I love this clinic not happy with where it is but I always recommend it to anyone looking for pain clinic and Dr he's the best.
This was initial pain mgmt consult. Dr Leichty was excellent.
Great doctor on helphing wiith problems..Good doctor
It was an excellent experience
Very friendly and helpful. Feel like they really care about me and my needs.
I loved how they both asked first thing what I was expecting or wanted from this visit. They were both very pleasant and hopeful for my condition and I was very pleased that they seem to understand and consider the whole body
When I began care w/ Dr. Nemeth & for the first year or so, he listened well & addressed most of my chronic pain symptoms when I brought them to his attention & had questions about etiology and treatment. However, that has changed. At times, when I try to ask him to address upper abdominal pain that is chronic ( 20+ years) and I've repeatedly tried to get evaluated by my current PCP ( she is dismissive too) , I was told he didn't have time for another problem. Additionally, when he appears to be especially stressed, busy, down and doesn't want me to speak anymore, he becomes somewhat condescending/patronizing with me. I leave my appointments feeling disrespected and marginalized. I see him primarily for lower back pain. But, I have Fibromyalgia AND very REAL pain in that other area of my body. It is just as bothersome as my back pain when it's active & I was having a bout of it during that appointment. Underlying all of my pain for which "organic" causes can be found, is long-standing clinical depression & PTSD. Men in my life have traumatized me. I deserve respectful, empathic, thorough medical treatment. I don't always receive it from this provider but I have no other options for chronic pain treatment. The front desk staff at the pain clinic could be a bit friendlier and personal, especially the woman who checked me in. Later, when I was trying unsuccessfully to open the lab specimen door to leave my urine sample, it wouldn't open. I asked her to help and she acted put-out. She also didn't respond in a friendly manner when I commented about the dog sitting on the floor next to where she was stationed at the time, working on files or the computer.
None of the staff mask despite requesting verbally while there and having notes in my pt chart specifically requesting it. The provider wore a non fitted surgical mask she took off as she walked back out. It feels dismissive of my request and Secondly is dangerous in a hospifal setting whith so much exposure to airborne viruses anyways. I miss the mask mandates for providers and staff in hospitals. I miss feeling safe walking into a reception area vs immediately having to start every interaction advocating for my needs.
Dr Nemeth is a wonderful listener and skilled provider
The clinic provides much-needed services to my community, and is staffed by excellent professional persons.
My doctor treats me with kindness & respect, is knowledgeable and committed to helping me handle my chronic pain issues.
This doctor is the greatest.
Dr. S. Best doctor in my life. Thank you.
The doctor seemed to be knowledgeable and experienced. He was also courteous and concise when it came to getting things done in a timely manner.
I have had 6 procedures that were presumed to be tied to a nerve issue from my back and had no improvement or reduction of my severe pain, only now to be told by the doctor that he believes I have ischiogluteal bursitis that can be treated but he said that I would have to do another 2 months of physical therapy first! I have already have about 20 PT sessions with nothing to show for it. The doctor's availability is 3 months out but he told me to see him again in 2 months. After nearly a year and a half of suffering in the supposed care of the Legacy system, with pain so debilitating that I can barely walk or even sleep at times, I am going to give up my suffering patient's hat, and start to think like the lawyer I have been for over more than 50 years.
All very good.
All was top notch
Kara is a truly exceptional doctor. Very knowledgeable and up to date on new treatments and more importantly she is empathetic. I am very thankful to have her as my physician!
My PCP has contacted specialists and has initiated appointment for me. The group works so well together that I know each person has a full understanding of my history and needs. Best care experience possible!
I love Kara Liechty, NP. She was very attentive and compassionate during a hard time in my life (last appointment). I think she is amazing.
DR shrattenholzer is the best! I was unable to walk before I saw him, he is a godsend and a excellent provider!
I appreciate the transparency Dr.Price provides me every time I see her.
Toi is still not the friendliest person on staff but is a bit better than in the past.
I have never had a bad experience. Everyone is kind and respectfully great about my needs
Leaving town for 3 months. Having a hard time getting prescriptions I need filled
My provider has always been good to me and always addressed and helped me with anything I need. She is very good at what she does.
Dr. Price is awesome I would recommend her to anyone that needs to see a pain management dr.
The provider was very personable and knowledgeable. I felt that she was legitimately interested in my situation.
This provider is excellent - really listens and cares what you have to say - makes you feel like you really are a part of your healthcare decisions. Answers any/all questions - offers additional help like steroid shots, medication updates, current pt ,etc. He just makes you feel like he really cares about you - you feel like you are in good hands and lucky to have a doctor who puts the patients needs first. He has helped me live a far more productive life than I would have without him.
Sorry I cannot continue to see him due to them not accepting my insurance
This visit with Dr Nemeth was to go over the MRI that I just had done. Dr Nemeth had the MRI on the computer and showed me the results of the MRI. He explained everything about the MRI in great detail and made it easy to understand. Also he helped me to understand the next steps to take to control my pain. It made it easy for me to decide to do the procedure that he suggested. Dr Nemeth is the best doctor I have and I am grateful that I can see him. He has helped me a lot.
Dr. Price is amazing! Her staff is excellent as well. I love the whole team
I wish Dr. Price would see me on a continuing basis but I don't fit into the pain management program due to how far I live from Portland. The psychologist Nancy was also present during the entire visit and was fabulous. She is a great resource. Dr. Price also offered to be a resource for my pain management provider in Bend.
Long thorough visit
Dr N?meth is a great listener and is very thoughtful, I'm very happy to have him as my doctor.
Parking availability is scarce.
My visit with Kara Liechty was great. She was extremely thorough, empathic and I so appreciated the visit. The CMA was great and the check in too! Great practice.
Always a good, nourishing encounter.
Best provider and pain relief! She is NOT allowed to move away frome me!
Dr Schratenholzer is wonderful, caring, thorough, always trying to do what would help reduce my pains. I have seen him many times over a number of years and he has performed numerous ablations on me with very helpful results. He listens, is kind and this last visit spent nearly 45 min with me. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a pain management specialist.
Great visit. Took lots of time to talk with about my problem and my options. Great Doctor
Doctor Kara lifty is always prepared and knowledgeable about recent additions to my medications and is updated on lab work results period when She orders blood work or other tests she always gets the results posted to MyChart in a timely manner. The good samaritan hospital pain clinic staff is always polite courteous and professional when and working with me on my health care needs and related matters(like updating forms or reviewing current medications). I appreciate that Doctor Lichty asks questions to clarify what is going on currently with my pain status and listens intently to my answers asking questions for clarification or more details and she needs to. When presenting new ideas ideas or suggestions for medications she is very thorough and explaining why she has chosen this particular medication as the best option for me too try.
Dr. Price knew my recent medical history, performed my exam in a timely manor and informed me of potential options to deal with back pain.
Everyone in the office from the staff to the nurses to the doctors were very caring and wanting to help. I've been to that office and seen three different individuals for three different things relating to the same thing I would highly recommend the pain clinic wonderful people my experience has been wonderful there.
Dr Price & Admin Team ALWAYS Excellent
Dr Schrattenholzer has made it possible for me to have a very good "old age". With pain control and understanding my needs. He is so very respectful. I am so thankful I found him.
I recommended my provider to a woman in the lobby.
I feel very fortunate to have the care team at the Legacy Pain Clinic helping me with issues of chronic pain and depression. Dr. Lichty, Dr. Dominguez and now Dr. Nemeth have been so good at helping me troubleshoot my mental health and issues of chronic pain in multiple sites of my body. Thank You, Suellen
Both the psychologist and the physician made inaccurate assumptions about my knowledge and capabilities. I was not able to communicate effectively with them and left both appointments feeling frustrated, deeply misunderstood, and judged. Physician seems very knowledgeable but has an authorization style that I can't work with.
Always treated very well by staff and the Dr is extremely knowledgeable and empathetic
The doctor took the time needed to determine what, or if he could help with my knee. Knee has been operated on 6 times, with many complications, including e-coli, a artificial knee that has detached from the patella and is floating up and down inside. The e-coli has developed into a 4"x3" black soar with a center port for all types of fluid to pour out. He recognized that his expertise in pain management may not be the best fit. As a result I will be see a Dr. Crawford on February 6, for additional help. Thoughts by other doctors, that leg may have to be amputated. I do appreciate all the advise the doctor addressed me with. Very caring Mark Goodwin.
She is a good doctor, but it seems like it is usually a long wait time to get an appointment. Maybe she doesn't need anymore new clients.
Dr Price listens very carefully and has abundant knowledge of my situation and my problem
Dr Liechty is my pain management specialist and has been for the past three years. At every appointment she fully listens to any concerns I may have, offers detailed explanations, and uses my input when providing a pain management plan. I've never felt rushed during an appointment, and I feel Dr Liechty genuinely cares about my wellbeing. I would highly recommend Dr Liechty to anyone needing care for their pain management issues, and I look forward to seeing her for my care in the future.
I showed up a day early by accident and they still worked me in. That's so nice! They are so good!
I always feel good after seeing Dr Schrattenholzer and excellent nurse Katie! They're the best!
No bad experiences on that place tankyou
I've never had a bad visit. EVER! Doctor's & office staff are always courteous. They always ask about how I'm doing & go over medications. My visits have never felt rushed.
Dr Price explained everything in a way I understood. First time ever with this doctor and she helped me more than others have
Kara was prepared to talk about what needed to be followed up on from our last visit. She also let me explain my new concern without rushing me.
The visits are good but either through phone calls or messages it can take weeks to get a response so this time I thought I would call the MA directly and the message said because short staffed it could be 7 days!!!
DR is awesome! He's attentive, careing and compassionate,. He really helped me, thanks so much
I have just completed my first initial appts with the pain clinic. Both practitioners were thoughtful, respectful and listened well. It's early days but I feel hopeful
Send my position to be very thorough and educated on the visit and will prepared and very considerate and especially very thoughtful to my needs and my health issues very polite wish all doctors were polite and is respectful as she is and prepared and knowledgeable on the situation beforehand
Dr.Price was knowledgable about my medical history and concerns. She covered everything and offered up ideas to adddress my issues. I left the visit with some optimism I hadn't felt in a while. I look forward to working with Dr. Price on the future.
She is an awesome provider
Thank you for your compassionate care
Excellent in all ways
Dr. Schrattenholzer is absolutely first rate.As is Jaimie, his PA. She responded to my phone call the same day and was able to help me essentially immediately.
I'm always glad to visit my Dr. He understands me
I truly enjoy my visits with Dr Price over my medical problems. She has always listened to my concerns and spent enough time with me to go over a plan for corrections. I always feel satisfied after our appointment with her and her ability for communication about all medical issues. I always go home feelilng good about myself and the care I recieved. I discuss this with my wife and she always comments on how good I feel and look after these appointments. She is, again, truly an angel in the medical profession and we need more like her in all avenues of the medical professions.
The dr was very thorough, I appreciated his attention to detail, and ability to jump into my complex symptoms. It was the first time I've seen him.
Dr. Shratz is fabulous. He clearly understands my medical issues.
They've always been efficient and very good to me
Dr. Kara was so personable and empathetic. She was very thorough in explaining the details of my condition and made sure I understood, answering all of my questions. She was very knowledgeable in explaining my options for treatment, reasons for treatments, risks, etc. She used visuals including having me look at my MRI with her. She spent a long time with me. She was not impatient, rushed and did not talk down to me or ignore my ideas about what I thought I needed. Love her!!!
Dr. S is amazing..he answers all my questions and seems to know about so many different things
Dr Nemeth was amazing I felt listened to and his instructions were extremely helpful. I would say he is one of the best Doctors I've ever had.
Dr Price is absolutely wonderful. I would recommend her to any one of my friends and all of my friends and I have! It's her age that I just have been trying to get along with and she has a problem with me. And so she doesn't treat me very nice. And my aides know that. My aides was shocked about how rude she has been with me. I've tried to get along with her but it's just something that can't!!
