Providence Newberg Medical Center

My partner went into the hospital for a hystorectmy yesterday. She was nervous and concerned. She was put at ease by an amazing nurse in the short stay department for the entire stay. Megan Peach was our nurse for the day and she made the whole experience comfortable and caring. If you have are entering the newberg providence hospital for a surgery I could only hope you encounter her. Also the amazing surgeon dr Emmons was efficient and very helpful as well. Thank you ladies for everthing you do.
Sincerely,
Melissa and becky

We took our son to the ER when he suffered a small gash above his right eye. We were pleased with the treatment provided by Dr. Disney but absolutely outraged at the $ 1500 bill. Who knew that applying a stick of glue on a child’s forehead would incur this type of expense??? We requested an audit and received a heartless, short response that the charges were reviewed and found to be correct. What a load of crap. Needless to say, we will NOT be returning to the Newberg ER EVER AGAIN!

My mother in law, 90 years old, was neglected by her primary care doctor who does business out of the Providence Newberg hospital clinic. The old woman caught the flu two weeks ago but after two days sick she couldn’t get an urgent appointment with her «regular» doctor and was instead shunted off to «Urgent Care» in Sherwood where she spent four hours and got no diagnosis and only anti-​vomit lozenges.
Two days later she went to her appointment with the primary doc but instead was seen by an assistant who came up with NO diagnosis and only refilled the vomit Rx. Three more days and attempts to get any other appointment with the primary were rebuffed. Her husband (95) was told to take her to Urgent Care — which she refused.
We learned of this situation after two more days and cut short a trip and returned 600 miles and took the patient (victim) to the Providence Newberg ER on 1÷9÷15 where she was diagnosed as having pneumonia. This after the poor woman had been sick for 10 days. After a day in the hospital with fluid being drained from her lungs, we were told tests also showed flu. A nurse confirmed that the (neglected) flu had probably precipitated the pneumonia .
As of the victim’s second day in the hospital, the primary doctor has yet to see or contact her patient. Seeking to fire the primary doctor, the family is trying to determine if all the other doctors who practice out of the Newberg Providence facility are just as over booked and negligent.

I am torn. I gave birth to my son here a year ago and our experience was fantastic. But since then, I have been suffering from depression and have admittedly been drinking too much. After a couple of failed attempts at sobriety, I decided today was the day and a went to the ER. I was admitted by a warm and lovely nurse who put me in a room and covered me with a warm blanket. That’s when it all went downhill. I was attended to by Anne E. Hedger, NP. NOTE NP: Nurse Practitioner, NOT A DOCTOR. I have way more schooling under my belt than she has. She was curt. Condescending. Obtuse and patronizing. She was far more concerned about her own culpability than my well being. If you know anything about detox, you know it is a life-​threatening situation. She was more concerned about not giving me a medication that would help me detox because of its interactions with alcohol. I’m not an idiot. I know who Karen Ann Quinlan was. The whole point of getting medications to help you detox is to aid you in stopping drinking. She simply dismissed me. She removed herself from my room and let me sit there for an hour and then sent in a nurse who told me she was a recovering alcoholic and gave me an insulting speech about how she «hit bottom» and she was just like me. She also made it clear when I explained that I came there for help, I would not be given Antabuse or Librium because I had received Librium on an earlier attempt at sobriety and clearly that failed. I wish I had asked her how many times she had attempted to get sober before she succeeded. She then gave me couple of wads of paper, one was my discharge packet, the other was «resources.» I called and drove to every single one. Every single one was closed. Oh, and I had to wait for four hours before I could leave the hospital because the second nurse said she would call the cops on me if I drove away because I drank a beer 2 hours prior to my discharge. No wonder so many people keep their alcohol abuse a secret.

Complete ripoffs, billed over 1,600 for ER visit for a cut where they did zero tests, zero shots, zero drugs and used a few dollars of glue strips and bandaid to fix. This is why USA is going bankrupt, we are being totally ripped off by hospitals, doctors and drug companies for over three trillion per year, 300% more than 20 years ago.

Worst place with the worst doctors and staff. I have never been treated so bad in my life ! I am having to file a lawsuit. I had things very wrong with me and they totally did malpractice

ER visit last night. They were thorough, professional, and quicker than I expected. I also appreciated that they have me options and let me choose whenever possible.

It’s a pretty standard hospital. Nothing special.
I must say, however, that it is my favorite place to eat lunch. The food in the cafeteria there is AMAZING. I drag my family to the hospital after church all the time for some low-​priced, delicious hospital food. :)

Best ER I have ever been to. No wait, EXCELLENT care (Dr. Disney), state-​of-​the-​art equipment, helpful, informative… the list goes on and on. Have been there numerous times for self, husband, daughter, grand daughter, and each time condition is fully explained and care top-​of-​the-​line. Highly recommend.

I love this hospital. The building is clean and easy to navigate. The doctors, nurses, and staff are fantastic.

A clean, LEED-​certified hospital, the Newberg Providence Hospital has a welcoming look and feel. The staff is friendly, and it is easy to find your way around the facility. The sleep center staff is great, too.
Although there is no charge for parking (I have been to hospitals where they charge), the lot fills up quickly during the day.
If you arrive after hours, you have to enter through the emergency room door.

I like the hospital just fine. I’ve been to the ER once and it was great, for an ER. Everyone was nice and clean and seemed to generally want me to live while they were hooking me up to big machines and taking my blood and applying leeches to my back and tapping a clipboard with a pen and all of that modern medical stuff that they do. Best thing: they brought me a fruit plate while I waited for test results. A really delicious fruit plate. Which got me thinking about the commissary. They must have one, right? Oh, do they ever. Sure, its a little like the lunch line in school. Sure they have some funny choices occasionally (grilled gyros salad, beef stuffed tomato). Sure they have little cartons of milk. Yeah, they have a salad bar, big cookies, free iced tea, usually lemon or chess pie, hairnets on the cooks and those super strange space age polymer based lunch trays that were supposed to be dismantled when we abandoned the Star Wars program. Yes, they have all of that and more! It is a glorious feast of silly food, prepared with some pretty deft touches, in one of the few places where you can see dudes in scrubs that just opened a guy’s heart and took out a sausage wrapped in bacon, and dudes in robes that are about to have their hearts removed that are eating a sausage wrapped in bacon. Its living theater. Best part: it costs about $ 4.00 to get out of there (well, if you only eat).

This is by far the cleanest, professional and caring hospital I have ever had to be both by choice and not. From the ER to XRay to the Nurses station on the second floor 95% of the time I was treated with care, kindness and respect. Nothing is more important than to have medical staff not just treat the symptoms but truly listen. I can sincerely say that this hospital has saved my life on more than one occasion. I owe my life to their quick thinking and for really listening, trusting what I had to
say.
