Appreciate the Time the MD spent with me and I did not feel rushed or pressured.
I felt listened to and was given the information that I was needing to make educated decisions about my medical needs and ongoing treatment
Inspiring, uplifting, gave us hope
As always the appointment was right on time and all doctors and staff are helpful polite caring and professional.
Great
He's the expert. He knows his stuff.
Very caring
My experience has been excellent each time I have seen Dr. He Is very thorough. He speaks in a way that I can understand. He never makes me feel like he's in a rush. He takes time to answer any questions I might have and is very respectful of family asking questions as well. I learn things about my health that no one else has spoke to me about. As hard as it is to hear sometimes, I respect how he's straight forward and says what needs to be said. I trusted him with my health almost 7 yrs ago. I wouldn't hesitate to trust him with my health care this time. He cares about people and he's an excellent Dr.
Very positive all around
Pleasant personality and kind words.
This was an exceptional experience. Dr. Pommier and his team made what they believe my medical Issues are very clear, as well as how to best treat it and how to follow up.
I appreciate Rodney Pommier's knowledge of the current evidence explaining it with the appropriate level of confidence when answering questions. He addresses the dispute among the leading experts, one that my local specialist was not even aware of.
Great, I feel good about it
I have seen Dr. Pommier and staff since 2016. He is very professional but also friendly and makes my bi-annual visits something to look forward to.
Dr Pommier is the best doctor I have ever met. His nurses, staff and the Dr c is training all are very positive and feel privileged to work with him. I feel privileged to be one of his patients. He is a lifesaver in so many ways.
Dr Pommier was very calm, friendly and kind. His explanations were easy to understand. He took time to answer my questions. He made me feel comfortable that a treatment plan would be determined for my condition. I appreciated his humor also.
Dr Pommier is an extraordinary individual who is the epitome of excellence in all that he does. He is knowledgeable about an amazing amount of topics and answers all questions fully...he is very approachable about patient concerns and takes the time to resolve any questions. He is a kind person with a good sense of humor which makes discussing difficult topics easier. OHSU is fortunate to have him on staff!
Dr Pommier is among the top 10 in the nation in his field. Personable, knowledgeable, professional. I wish all doctors were like him.
I love Dr. Pommier
I was apprehensive that I would travel overnight for my appointment, only to get the standard 20-minute once over lightly. But Dr. Pommier took the time to discuss my condition in depth and offer treatment options.
Dr. Pommier and is the best at what he does and has the education and knowledge at his fingertips to back it up. He is one of OHSU's finest docs. I know as I have been treated for cancer on the hill for 48 years.
