It’s such an honor for us at the McKenzie River Clinic to serve our local community and the thousands of visitors we get each year. Here are just a few of the things that we’ve heard from patients and local residents on their feelings about us.
Mary Sherman, in consultation with Leslie West and Thurston Medical, gave the correct diagnosis for a painful condition, and this enabled effective treatment. We are so lucky to have those two, and the friendly, supportive staff in the McKenzie community!

The McKenzie River Clinic is an invaluable resource for our staff, students and parents. We count on their superior care at this location “up the river.” We have used them extensively to help us with our medical needs.

April 2007 I walked into the Clinic and told them that I thought I was having a heart attack. Immediatly they questioned why I thought heart attack, what meds I had taken, and were doing an EKG. When it was confirmed that it was a heart attack, they called McKenzie Willamette. I got a ride in with a friend (faster than an ambulance), and by 1pm was in ICU recovering from an angioplasty. Since heart problems in women are often so different than men, I REALLY appreciate the Clinic’s willingness to listen me.

The McKenzie River Clinic provides an essential service to our community. As an employer here in McKenzie Bridge, we could not offer the quality of life today’s employees are seeking without the clinic’s enduring presence in our valley. Thanks MRC for all you for us.
