I went into the Emergency room on the night of the 8th after reinjuring my knee from a previous injury I had playing football with some Veteran buddies in Portland, I was seen by a male Dr. Working that night who after examining my knee gave me a pain reliever in the Hospital. He clearly stated his thoughts were that I may have torn a ligament, or ACL and to follow up with Orthopaedic surgery immediately then proceeded to discharge me with instructions to take 800 mg Ibuprofen and Tylenol. I politely asked the Dr.to speak to him again because Ive already been taking that and it wasnt helping, and he simply said im not writing you a prescription. The whole staff was actually rude that night. So I went back after getting no sleep, as the pain got worse was treated by another Female Dr. Who also realized I had a concussion (being a MTBI patient from a Combat related injury) she treated both my knee and head. Looked me up in the prescription database and saw Ive only had one other pain prescription before and sent me home with some to get relief until Ortho saw me the next day. When I did go to Ortho the Dr. Ordered an MRI and said I was more than likely going to need surgery on a torn ligament. As far as my second visit goes the staff was courteous and caring to my injury, I just dont see how a MD can tell a patient he may have a tore ligament or ACL and say take Motrin that just doesnt seem like good practice to me whatsoever. I understand there is a pain pill problem here but patients who need it for extreme discomfort shouldnt suffer. Especially if they have no history of abuse. So to Dr.Gunyan, Holly who treated me on the 8th you get five stars it was a pleasure being a patient of yours! Now to DO Kurucz, John this 1 star rating is for you sir, I hope you read this and understand you are not the king of the world and treat future patients better.

Im a nurse, and Im picky. My family has needed the ER many times in the past 3 or 4 years. Twice this year. I find them to be compassionate and responsible. Its slow... always.... but you never know what else is going on. I do wish they would stop by and update you more often... telling me the lab was down after Ive waited 2.5 hours for results would be more helpful when YOU knew it. But they get 5 stars because I trust them.

i had never felt more discriminate in my life , i was trying to keep my situation privately and the nurse went to the waiting area screaming out our problem and cleaned the seats were we sat down and threw all the magazines we touched it was so sad for me and my family, they kept skipping us and letting other people see a doctor first than us i would never go back to that hospital in my life !!!!!
