East Portland Surgery Center

In 1989, my husband was injured in the military and almost lost his leg. Fast forward between 12 to 15 surgeries later and many hospital visits. EPSC by far provided excellent medical care both preoperatively and postoperatively. And a very special thanks to Harlyn, our recovery nurse, we have never had such a wonderful experience with regards to medical treatment. I am the wife of a proud military man, whom served his country honorably and almost paid with his life. Great staff, Kathy was also extremely kind and accommodating. The entire staff kicked~ass! Dr. Rigert provided exceptional treatment and we could not be more appreciative and grateful for his level of skill, a true testament to God’s grace. Thank you everyone! God bless you all!! Oh and tell my favorite Neurosurgeon, Dr Kellogg, he’s still the BEST!! ~Carie M.

I had elective surgery at East Portland Surgical Center, and every person I encountered was warm, welcoming and very supportive. I had a great experience and couldn’t have asked for a better team!

Very nice surgery center with absolutely wonderful and kind staff and nurses. My experience here was absolutely lovely and I felt extremely well taken care of. I felt very safe the entire time and like I was in great hands. 11/10

Had a great experience here. Everyone kind and skillful. The anesthesia provider was outstanding. Never thought surgery could be so easy. My career was managing surgery centers so I know them well. This one is good. And found out the current director is a friend and former colleague who is excellent. They are in good hands and did a great job for me.

I don’t know how this surgery center doesn’t have better reviews, unless changes were just recently made in staff. I could not be more happy with the care I received at this surgery center for my elective surgery. Michael the anesthesiologist was amazing, made me feel very safe annd explained everything he would be doing and monitoring. It can be a little overwhelming, but he made me feel really safe and I got so much information I’ve never received before in prior surgeries! Tim - is the most amazing RN I have ever crossed paths with! I’ve had 20+ some odd surgeries in the past 20 years! Sadly, I’ve lost count at this point. He actually listened to me, in that my veins will NOT take an IV bigger than a 22g. He listened to me that I have extreme anxiety with this every time due to RN’s Not listening to me every time I have surgery or imaging done. He did what I asked and I’ve NEVER had an IV inserted into the back of my hand (only decent veins at this point) 100% pain free! Un-freaking-believable! I truly wish all nurses could be as kind, caring, and open to listening to them patient’s experiences and concerns as Tim was. This was the very first time having surgery that I didn’t have a full blown anxiety attack and severe pain prior inflicted on me due to the IV insertion process and experience. ❤️ Thank you, Tim! Tim needs to be bumped to the top of his pay grade if he isn’t there already!!! I found the admin staff here (Kathy and Amanda) to also be great and very pleasant. It made the entire process as stress free as possible! Thank you!
