This comment is because of my experience with Dr. Robinson. I came in for extra observation because my baby had fetal growth restriction. We were told this was routine by my OB and knew the concerns. Dr. Robinson came in, seemingly after not looking at our chart, and told us every possible issue our baby might have (many of which had been ruled out by our doctor or this same office months ago- genetic disorder, COVID, etc.) Long story short she terrified us, then had absolutely no bedside manner to be able to fix emotionally unrooting both myself and my husband. I was not scared at all previous to this experience, but ended up spending the next few days crying about fears for the baby until my OB was able to show us an ultrasound showing us that baby was completely healthy.

I am grossly disappointed after leaving my first ultrasound and appointment with Dr. Archabald. My husband and I are welcoming our first child and had both questions and concerns. Our questions were dismissed with arrogance. She had no regard or respect when I discussed my health history and even laughed before dismissing my question. My husband had the same experience alongside me. Above all we are shocked by how impersonal this appointment was. We will not be coming back.

My wife and I were grossly mistreated by Maternal Fetal medicine and I hope that no other couple has to go through what we did. When we went in for a routine scan at 17 weeks we were told that they could not find a heartbeat. Our doctor, Dr Mission, then came in and told us that we would not be able to pass the baby at home, so he would call us the next day with further instructions. We were sent home confused and heartbroken, with no aftercare instructions, no idea of what would happen next. He never called us. There was no followup. We ended up calling MFM the next afternoon when my wife started having contractions, and they told us that we would have to wait 5 days before scheduling a D&E or that they could refer us to an abortion clinic. This felt incredibly insensitive and horrific to hear. They continued to tell us that we could go to the ER if my wife was bleeding through more than 1 pad per hour, but otherwise to stick it out and wait the 5 days until we could be scheduled. That evening, my wife went into active labor, and birthed our baby at home in our bathroom. She then began hemorrhaging and we had to rush to the emergency room where she laid there for hours with no one checking her. They asked for me to go back to our home and bring back the body of our baby to the hospital, where they took her away in a biohazard bag. They never gave us our rights as parents to getting her remains. We spent a total of 12 hours in the ER, my wife underwent surgery, and we were finally sent home. No one from MFM ever checked in on us or followed up. We finally asked for an appointment with Dr Mission, to try and get some answers about why we had a second trimester miscarriage when everything was healthy and normal with our baby. He continued to tell us that the test results were slow to come back and he didn't know. Once we found out through our various pregnancy loss groups that delivering at home is common, we asked him why he told us that we wouldn't be able to pass the baby at home and why he didn't tell us that we had rights to getting our baby's remains back. He refused to answer that question. We asked for more testing so that we could start preparing to try again, and he told us that we would order tests for my wife but when we called to make the appointments, the lab told us that the orders were never sent. When we followed up again, he told us he wanted her to do a 2 hour fasting glucose test, so we called again to make that appointment, and they said that those tests weren't ordered-- but a different glucose test was. We felt so lost and confused as to why we had no test results, why we couldn't make appointments, and why he was not giving us accurate information. My wife was finally able to schedule this fasting glucose test (which only tested her blood sugars levels) and he came back and told my wife that he was diagnosing her with type 2 diabetes. This came as a shock to both of us, especially because he didn't test her A1C. He told us that he recommended waiting 3 more months to try again, even though we had already waited 3 months. He suggested that she start insulin, even though her fasting glucose numbers were borderline, at best. We decided to have a second opinion and have her fasting numbers tested again, as well as her A1C. Our second opinion showed that she did not have diabetes, and was not even in the pre-diabetic category. The fact that he wanted to put my wife on insulin based off of one test, without checking her A1C is reckless and dangerous. Ultimately, we felt incredibly mistreated and dismissed regularly by MFM. We are an LGBTQ couple and we were told that this would be the best place for us-- that we would receive care with respect and empathy. Our experience couldn't have been farther from that truth. We were consistently made to feel like we were asking for too much, and every medical professional that worked there gave us contradictory information. They added to the trauma of losing our baby and treated us with such disrespect. The added misdiagnosis was the icing on the cake.

They are the worst in treating patients. I was Bawling my eyes out after they told me that I couldn't have my son with me while I do my ultrasound. They basically kicked me out after I got inside of the ultrasound room with my son. I wasn't informed previously about not having my baby with me so I took Him with me because I didn't have any where to put him. At that time. And they decided not to do the ultrasound and rescheduled me. I didn't not like the way they treated me afterwards. They were careless about some of the concerns I had. The Worst experience at this place and wish they have treated the situation in a better way. And I hope no one gets treated the way I got treated. If I could I would give them 0 stars!!!!

I was referred here during my pregnancy and had a few tests done to find abnormalities. I was pretty emotional when I was given my options but the ultrasound technician and doctor were very friendly and supportive. The main(?) nurse there... Not so much. She blatantly pointed out the fact that I didn't have my child's father with my at the appointment and said "oh well most women do". This was while we were walking in the hallway to another room and other women in the nearby rooms could hear her. It was very embarrassing. The next room went quick with her so I didn't really acknowledge her. A few days after I called her to cancel my appointment. She was even ruder on the phone and hung up without saying the normal 'thanks' or even 'bye'. I don't know how someone like that could be working with so many people everyday and call herself a nurse. I was going through a very difficult time and she only made things worse for me. This place seems great otherwise. If you go here pray you don't receive this nurse. I don't know if I'm allowed to mention names or I would. The other staff seem to be very friendly and welcoming. But because of her I will never be returning again.

I wanted to be sure to write a review, because I looked before coming in, and it honestly freaked me out. I want to also acknowledge that my pregnancy has been pretty complicated-free so far, and I feel for those families that have had bad experiences. I’m 13 weeks today, and went in this morning. The entire staff was welcoming and kind (including the lovely gal that did my imaging…I wish I got her name). Dr. Salati was extremely friendly and comforting and talked through my concerns with me. If you’re coming in for an ultrasound (and check reviews for every little thing like I do), do not be worried at all.

UPDATE: 5 years later. We just had our second son. Yet another absolutely amazing, compassionate, top notch experience. Not just the outstanding medical knowledge, and application. But, once again just shining as Legacy being consummate professionals!!! --------------------------------- I'm sorry that other's may have had a poor experience. However, I can tell you that my wife and I have had nothing but the most incredible and thoughtful care possible. She had 12+ lbs of fibroid tumors that not only compromised our baby but my wife as well. At other medical facilities we were told that we had no options except to terminate a healthy baby. The medical staff at MFM **asked** us what we wanted to do. They then worked with us, and happy to say almost 20 weeks later we are getting ready to deliver a baby boy. Our experiences have been first rate, top notch and amazing! Thank you Dr.s Buckmaster, Bednar, Merrill and Bailess. An incredible practice with the best staff we could imagine!

Dr. Merrill is one of my favorite doctors ever. I have a background in natural medicine and am very educated in medicine in general. The difference between knowing medicine and practicing it well is listening to your patients. This guy really does that! He takes time to listen to concerns and trusts that you know your body. I had a severe form of preeclampsia with my first born and felt like it would be back with my second. My symptoms presented oddly and so I seemed fine for most of both pregnancies. He still took me seriously and monitored me closely. I feel like he is very balanced in listening to his patients concerns, analyzing them appropriately and discerning what the proper protocol is. He also respected that I declined the glucose test unlike one of the nurses. It ended up being good that I was monitored so closely because I had an even faster presentation this time (but later on in my pregnancy) and had an emergency induction. Dr Buckmaster is also a warm, caring doctor and I felt in good hands with almost the whole practice. There are a couple of "cold fish" doctors, and sometimes you see a random one or two, but it's still worth it to come here!

Legacy has been great to us. We are having twins and we were very worried in the beginning due to it being high risk. When we got sent over to legacy they were very welcoming and our experience has been amazing. We have visited with four separate doctors who have all been outstanding and very knowledgeable. The staff is very friendly along with the nurses. We really appreciated nurse Morgan! Overall we would recommend!

Certainly hard to contact and schedule. You can only book appointments over the phone during business hours (it says 8-5 on their voicemail and website) but I learned though trial and error that the phones aren’t answered until past 8:30 since you get an automatic message saying they are closed and to call back during “work hours”. Also be warned that referrals take a while for the fax to be processed. Mine was 10 days, and that was after my provider called three more times and faxed it two more times. I’m sure/hopeful that the medical care will be more proficient and that it’s due to shortage of staffing, but still not ideal communication.

It’s not ideal in the first place to be high risk and have to go to MFM however we had a really great experience with them. This was my first pregnancy and really had no idea what to expect and happy to say it was actually pleasant. We felt well taken care of at MFM and loved all of our doctors, nurses, ultrasound techs and even front desk staff! It’s evident they really care and enjoy what they do. Highly recommend if needing to see an MFM in Portland

I'd have to say I have had good experiences with them. When I went to Astoria CMH ultrasound they said my baby had abnormal growths on her spine, though when I went here they saw nothing at all. People are more professional here, I prefer them then CMH. The doctors here also are more empathetic and try to fit you in as soon as they can.

All staff very friendly
