Oregon Health & Science University in Portland

This review is in regards to the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery center. After being referred here by my denntist. My tongue was numb due to the removal of a mucocele on the bottom of my tongue. After several months with a numb tongue, they decide they can do nothing. I then got another mucocele on the inside of my lip. The Surgeon insisted there was no way removing it, would cause my lip to be numb. He lied, 3 months later, my lip is still numb. I tried to make an appointment with them to see if they could tell me what to do, but the receptionist said the surgeon would have to let them know when to could schedule me to come in. Well, every time I called the receptionist she would say the same thing and they would not let me make an appointment without him getting back to them. Which he never did.

The Dr was awesome!! and reassuring. We had was a little trouble to find where we needed to go the help helped and we were on our way and nobody said anything about being late . Maybe because it was a 4 hr drive. Great place

The most professional and knowledgeable staff. This is an unparalleled medical institution. The cafeteria food is little a little on the pricey side but you can't put a price on good medical care.

My team of doctors we're very understanding and accommodaing to my bloodless surgery request. They talked as a team together and with me about options in case something went wrong. The team really sat down and worked with me and my family with our concerns. The hospital itself is very large, can easily get lost, but very clean and beautiful artwork brings smiles to your face around every corner. The nursing staff were kind, sensitive and helpful. Love the doctors bedside manners, even though it took a little getting used to an entire team of people surrounding me during morning rounds. The private room was cozy and roomy for my large family and friends who visited. Food service was really my only disappoinment. Menu was hard for me to find something with my food sensitivities and when ordered it took an hour to receive the food every time and the food was cold every time.

There are a lot of reasons why this place is so great. I can specifically speak for 10A. The nursing staff is wonderful and kind and eager to help. They are quick to help their patients and do it with a smile. The people make this place!There are also currently nearly 800(!) volunteers total in the hospital that are there specifically to make patients' stay more comfortable. The volunteer program is well organized and that shows by the level of training and scheduling.And the view of Portland is awesome!
