Legacy Clinics-Primary Care

I’ve been going to Dr. Zimmerman for sometime. He and his Medical Assistant Angie are absolutely the best. They know me and treat me with respect. Dr. Zimmerman always gives me all the information so I get it!

I recently moved to West Linn and found Dr. Samantha McKay of the Legacy Group as my new primary care physician. My first visit went well, her review of my medical history was comprehensive, and I left feeling okay. However, when I suddenly became sick and simultaneously lost my health coverage, I found her to be uncooperative, unhelpful, and made receiving medical care quite difficult.
I have a simple intermittent nervous system disorder that gets cured in 30 days when on a prescription. I saw her, paid $ 155 for the visit which is difficult to pay for a person without medical coverage, and expected a Rx. She wouldn’t give it to me and wanted me to try supplements. I called within 3 days several times explaining I want the Rx, the plan she has in place is not working and I desperately need sleep.
She said I needed another office visit, at which time a blood test was ordered. So I have now paid $ 155 for the 2^nd visit as well and told to get a blood test. That cost me $ 155 to be told that?! I again explained there is no money, I have no insurance, and simply need help to solve the problem. Please write the Rx that I have been on in the past prescribed by another physician. She insisted on the blood test and I consented.
I then had the test, had to call 5 days later for results when it should have taken less than 24 hours, and I was told my levels are within normal ranges, but a 3^rd office visit would be needed to talk about Rx side effects of new medications she wants to prescribe. I explained I am not interested in new meds, just the same one I have been on which works very well and doesn’t cost more than $ 20. She again wants me to come in for the same problem and charge me another $ 155. I was told that it was impossible, she wants to prescribe a different medication, and I must come in again for another visit in order to get any help.
Seriously? 155×3 plus bloodwork and I still don’t have a solution? Are you serious? I have never had such unprofessional service ever. This is not the physician if you get sick and need help, just go to the ER — it will cost you less and they will follow up in a timely manner.
