So far it a good care provider. [...]Providence Patient
Dr C showed a real concern for my health and was good at explaining what was going onProvidence Patient
She tries to solve my health issues.Providence Patient
I felt the provider was condescending the majority of my visit. After waiting a long time in the room to see the provider, she walked in and immediately asked if I had any questions. I said yes and when I asked them she answered as if I was dumb for asking - they were mostly questions about family history of cancers and when to start screening. When she asked about skin problems, I mentioned struggling with acne and she looked at me and said she didn't see any - basically dismissing what I had to say. I will not be returning to this provider because of the way she made me feel.Providence Patient
Very happy with the visit. Dr. Calopiz spent considerable time talking to me about my lab results and areas I had made progress as well as areas that are proving challenging. She gave me reasonable recommendations that I can follow to continue to make progress and improve areas that I'm having difficulty with. I feel she listens to my concerns and is not judgmental and is able to provide recommendations that are helpful in managing my health. I strongly recommend her as a primary care physician.Providence Patient
Love my provider, she is wonderful and listens. [...]Providence Patient
Very happy with provider. Always feel that my health is their top priority.Providence Patient
I did not feel the provider listened to what I had to say. The provider looked at my throat and said it looked fine. Then how come I could see both yellow and white blisters/spots? My throat was NOT fine or I would not have come in for a visit. She was only concerned that I didn't have pneumonia. I wasn't there for pneumonia, I was having an allergy attack and needed help. I was very disappointed and will not be seeing her again, ever.Providence Patient
Dr. Calopiz is always thorough and is very pleasant and caring.Providence Patient
While efficient, felt very impersonal. Provider walked in and went straight to physical exam without even a cordial greeting. While it is an office it did not seem like any effort was put into building relationship for care.Providence Patient
Dr Calopiz is always very thorough, knowledgeable and explains things in a way I can understand. She always goes over all treatment options so that I can make an informed decision.Providence Patient
i like Dr Calopiz, but I'm not always sure she remembers what she's told me in the past, or it's not on her computer screen.Providence Patient
Dr. Calopiz is an excellent doctor - - - She listens to what you have to say. She is compassionate and very understanding......Providence Patient
all goodProvidence Patient
I found that Dr Calopiz takes the time to listen and she clearly explains and offers helpful adviceProvidence Patient
I appreciated her asking a lot of questions about what symptoms I had and then that she described a number of possible causes for the symptoms. Her logical progression of questions, answers and deduction processes helped be understand options and defined a strategy for determining root cause of my issue. She was methodical and could explain how we would bring in specialists if the initial troubleshooting processes didn't id the problem.Providence Patient
She's so wonderful lady. She's so sweet and funny. I love to keep her until she is ready to be retirement. [...]Providence Patient
Everything was fineProvidence Patient
GOOD VISIT AND I FEEL THE DOCTOR CARES ABOUT MY HEALTHProvidence Patient
I always feel comfortable when going to this Doctor 's office.Providence Patient
I have only seen this provider a couple of times so far but I am so pleased with my experience with this clinic as a whole. [...] Thank you doctor for addressing my needs in a practical way and making me feel heard as a patient.Providence Patient
I had a problem with my hand and was told to buy an over the counter brace instead of referring me to someone for carpal tunnel. 2nd most important I wanted to discuss my physical/emotional stress & anxiety and not being able to sleep because I recently found out my dad has terminal cancer and wanted something for occasional help for either or and was told I could get over the counter unisom and when I told her I had tried that she said you know we will all have to care for a parent at some point and we all just have to accept that our parents die and said I could see a Psychiatrist if I wanted. I did not feel I needed a Psychiatrist as I know what the problem was I just was looking for some temporary help for really bad days. She said people become dependent on medications so she doesnt prescribe them but if I was just looking for temporary help and it was a one time prescription I dont understand how you would be dependent if she did not re prescribe. I just left feeling really defeated and that she did not have my best well being in mind, it took a lot for me to ask for help. She also ordered a whole bunch of blood test to make sure there was not a problem causing me to not sleep or anxiety saying I dont think they will show anything but we will run them just in case. I know why I cant sleep and cant really afford paying all the extra money for unnecessary procedures.Providence Patient
well I have been emailing the medical staff to get a physical scheduled and so far no one has respondedProvidence Patient
I like that the doc calls me to come in for check ups it makes me feel cared forProvidence Patient
The provider dictates that I needed to be seen in order to obtain refills of a medication that I can't stop taking. Her team did not seem to know what kind of visit was needed, so I was scheduled for a wellness exam. The provider ordered tests that I don't feel are necessary so that it IS a wellness exam, but did not listen to my concerns regarding issues I'm having. After asking two questions, she asked how many more I had because she was concerned about having enough time for the wellness exam. My questions were not answered well at all, and I gave up trying. I do not feel like this provider sees her patients as the people they are.Providence Patient
The only concern I had was with the lack of me receiving a pap. I was explained how they are needed every 5 years standard. But, having a history of abnormals & having a chrro procedure on my cervix I felt I fell into a more often category. The provider kept pushing for no pap. I feel next time I will ask again & hope to have it done.Providence Patient
I have had three visits with this provider. On the first, she did not listen to me at all. She told me I really needed to do X but I had just told her that I always do X. She offered this as an only solution after I had told her I was already doing it.Providence Patient
This was my first visit to this provider. There was a lot to cover in the time given, would have liked more time to discuss my situation. I understand that is not always possible.Providence Patient
Very good service. Even though my blood work numbers aren't where they should be, I feel the Dr. Calopiz listened to my concerns and is willing to work with me to see if I can improve the numbers through diet and exercise over the next 6 months without upping my prescription doses immediately. I appreciate the consultative approach taken.Providence Patient
First time to see this provider since my regular doctor was unavailable. i was pleased with her care and attitude toward me and my condition.Providence Patient
I am always treated very politely.Providence Patient
Did not listen to my concerns or dismissed them. Seemed in a hurry. I will never use her again.Providence Patient
the nurses and Dr Calopiz were very nice, helpful and reassuring. I got to office 30 minutes before my appointment and I waited only 5 minutes to be seen.Providence Patient
Good experience. First visit.Providence Patient
was very satisfied with the care I was givenProvidence Patient
I have only had good experiences with Dr. Calopiz and this office. Dr. Calopiz is not afraid or annoyed by the fact that I have significant medical background and am very in tune with my body. I appreciate that as I think this is hard for some practioners (and with some patients). I am aware they are on a schedule, but it is refreshing and wonderful to not feel rushed through an office visit.Providence Patient
I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of time she spent with me. She did not seem rushed at all.Providence Patient
We discussed the pain I have r/t fibromyalgia and sore shoulder. She had several good suggestions for my care that I can do and also referred me for PT.Providence Patient
my visit was good and I would recommend this provider to everyone.Providence Patient
Ms. Calopiz, was nice, polite and knowledgeable. Identified my condition immediately. Got a 2nd opinion for my satisfaction (shingles). Thoroughly discussed with me.Providence Patient
I waited an hour to see the doctor; it was rushed and I didn't feel it was a good appointment. I hope future visits are better.The receptionists should wear masks if they have a cough.Providence Patient
Dr. Calopez was very thorough on this recent visitProvidence Patient
I am happy with the care I receiveProvidence Patient
I trust my provider completely, that she will know what advice to give me & what prescriptins to order for what ails me!Providence Patient
everything goes as well as expected! never had a bad experience!Providence Patient
she is great!Providence Patient
Doctor Calopiz has been very helpful during my visits. I feel she is very knowledgeable and I trust putting myself in her care.Providence Patient
My experience was excellent.Providence Patient
I came to this provider w/concerns about post partum depression and trouble with weight gain after my first child. She completely ignored the topic of post partum depression and didn't care to explore any reasons besides diet & exercise that could be explaining unexpected weight gain.Providence Patient
I love her! she's great!Providence Patient
she does a fine job.Providence Patient
My time with the Dr. was well spent reviewing my medications since I have had a TIA. But she also informed me next year I should have this review with a nurse practitioner. I made my annual exam with the Dr. because I wanted her expertise in reviewing my medications. I think in light of my medical condition, trying to avoid a second stroke is rather important. [...]Providence Patient
this office is always behind schedule. I waited at least 20 minutes in the wait room and them 30 minutes in the exam room before the dr came in and by the time the Dr came in she was in a hurry because she was so behind and I felt completely rushed as usual.Providence Patient
goodProvidence Patient
took an hour to see the doctor from my scheduled appt. this is ridicuous. [...]Providence Patient
My provider seems very good, she fairly new to me we are getting to know and understand each other,I like her as a providerProvidence Patient
Dr Calopiz is wonderful!Providence Patient
Great family Doctor., never feel rushed always compassionate. Love her!!Providence Patient
My visits are always pleasant at Orenco. Reception is always great and the medical assistants as well. I visited this new doctor to establish care though as mine has since retired. I have never felt more uncomfortable in my life. She is cold and has no bed side manners, as well as making you feeluncomfortable for your own choices. I will be calling to ask to switch providers, but love the clinic, just this doctor was def not a fit for me.Providence Patient
Dr. Calopiz is always very nice and explains medications to me in detail. She is a very personal doctor & treats her patients great.Providence Patient
Pre-op check. Dr. was very pleasant. Explained need/or not for tests. Discussed future tests and arranged for annual Wellness exam. Very kind and gentle. Felt like I a was important to her at that time.Providence Patient
My doctor/healthcare provider was very knowledgeable about the concerns I brought during this visit and provided several possible ways to deal with those concerns, allowing me to make an informed choice regarding treatment for each. She is also a thoughtful listener and compassionate individual: All I could ever want in a doctor! I appreciate her very much.Providence Patient
Dr. Calopiz always listens to my questions & concerns & takes time to answer them. I never have problems getting in to see her within a day or two of calling. All the staff is courteous & professional.Providence Patient
no bad experiences. I like dr CalopizProvidence Patient
I schedule my appointment viva phone. I arrived at my schedule (told appointment) time and then front desk proceeded to to tell me my appointment was schedule 30 minutes after the time I was told I had schedule. Provider played vague on while I was there for the appointment time and she was the one requesting it. It just seemed to be a day with horrible customer services by all and I understand everyone has off days but this lately seems more consistent.Providence Patient
I was having a difficult day, very emotional. Dr Calopiz took time to talk to me an was very considerate and gave helpful advice.Providence Patient
