Legacy Salmon Creek Medical Center

"I was legitimately sad to leave the family birthing center as a first time mom. I felt so welcome and taken care of. I gave birth during an ice storm and many staff were in less then ideal conditions trying to get home but you’d never guess. My OB was amazing and many nurses were on their Friday so I met quite a few in my 3 days there and they all felt like family. I left feeling so empowered! 10/10 recommend :) Evergreen pediatrics has also been amazing thus far."

"The intake process in the ER is a living nightmare. After checking in, you have to wait to be called back to triage. After triage, you go back to the waiting room until called back to receive initial care from a nurse. Then back to the waiting room for you to wait being called back for evaluation, test results or further care. We were there for almost 5 hours and were never called back that 3rd time. There were patients in that waiting room who should have been in private rooms from the start and not left bleeding in the waiting room. Absolutely ridiculous process with very little consideration to the patient."

"They really though firing all those well qualified nurses and doctors not willing to take the covid shot would help .. well clearly not because every bathroom has needles and blood on the floors. Got transported by ambulance with my daughter and begged them not to take us there. Well they did and we left . Ghetto is an understatement. Had to go through a metal detector with my sick kid just to leave 10 later because it was so gross and not safe for anyone to be there.. with all that extra money you'd think they would hire more house keeping.. now they can't come to terms with blue cross blue shield so they won't be in network any longer. And good riddance because our insurance only excepts the best and they clearly aren't it"

"I have been here for 2 hours with my daughter who was told to come in because of her appendix, look I work in the medical field I get the difference between urgent and emergency. I understand that night is probably the worst of it, the most “non emergent” cases and the most chaos. As I have already seen tonight. What I can’t figure out is why in the room I can see where they triage, 4 nurses have been standing for over a half hour laughing and stuff. I can’t figure out how in 2 hours only 1 person has been taken back. I can’t figure out how hard it is to clean up all the garbage just thrown everywhere. We finally ended up going back where they sat us in two chairs to get results the provider did majority of the exam while she sat in the chair! And then when it was all said and done it took over A an hour to get discharged and the only reason we did is because my daughter complained about the IV that was never used stuck in her arm .This hospital used to be extremely clean and well managed. I was very disappointed in the care and will be looking at ways to speak to the higher ups here!"

"Emergency room is normally super busy and plan to wait at least 4-7 hours. This picture was taken at 1am but I arrived at 9 and it was FULL.. The staff was extremely horrible the way they were talking to some of the patients. It said that this is our medical system. We had 3 different visits on 3 months and all the visits were unfortunately the same. I recommend bringing extra food and a phone charger, don’t forget to ask for a warm blanket in case you find yourself shivering."
