Dr. Andrew Robert Trickey, MD

It’s not easy being told you have cancer. I had belly pain for a few months and worsening fatigue and vomiting. When I went to the ER, I had a CT scan that showed colon cancer spread all over. Dr. Trickey was my doctor and he sat with me and my son to give the terrible news. While it’s all a blur, I appreciated that he sat with us and answered all the questions we had with kindness and compassion. He didn’t have all the answers but he had already gotten me admitted to the hospital with the oncology specialists to see me and figure out next steps. It was clear to us that he cares about his patients and goes the extra mile to help them through tough times.

Thorough and thoughtful

In all the chaos, it’s nice to find somebody who cares.

I’m amazed at what Dr. Trickey was able to accomplish in the ER for me. I have a complicated history of blood infections after abdominal surgery years ago and came to the ER with high fevers while visiting from out of town. The place was hectic but he was incredibly thorough and patient, he even coordinated with my oncologist in Roseburg to arrange a treatment plan and follow up. Couldn’t be happier with the care I got!

Dr Trickey went out of his way to help me navigate a very complex medical issue that I’ve been struggling with. He was easy to talk with and I could tell he really cared. He spent extra time talking with me and my family about my options. This put me on the right path to recovery and I’m very grateful.

My 91 year old mother was rushed to the ER with a stoke while she was still struggling to recover from recent Covid. We had been considering hospice for her but hadn’t fully decided yet. Dr. Trickey was very skilled and efficient in stabilizing her medically. He then spent a lot of time walking us through end-of-life decisions to give us more insight into how we wanted to go from there. This was in the middle of a very busy ER and was very helpful. His caring and compassion were deeply appreciated.

I have a history of really bad nosebleeds that have required surgical cauterization by an ear nose and throat specialist, and blood transfusions in the past. I came in with another bad nosebleed and saw Dr. Trickey in the ER. He was able to skillfully stop the bleeding himself and was very thorough, checked to see if I had lost too much blood. He also took the time to talk to my ear, nose and throat specialist and arrange for a close follow up, which was comforting to me. I appreciate his thoroughness and his confident skills, he made this experience much less scary for me.

Goes the extra mile I was lucky to get Dr. Trickey when I went to the ER with shortness of breath that I?d been having for a few days. He sat down with me and listened to all my symptoms and then ran a full battery of tests. His approach was very kind and reassuring. The tests were normal but he went above and beyond and talked to a cardiologist to set up a home heart monitor for me. This ended up showing an on-and-off abnormal heart rhythm causing my symptoms. Now it?s under control and I?m feeling fine again. Thanks to his thorough approach this was caught before it caused any major problems. Dr Trickey clearly cares about his patients and goes the extra mile for them.

The symptoms that sent me to the ER this time were very scary. Dr. Trickey was very comforting, calm and caring. He explained the procedure that they were going to perform thoroughly and talked me through the whole thing. I felt safe and in good professional hands at all times before, during and after the procedure. The whole team was great and I left the ER feeling much better. I am very relieved to have this ER as my local facility as every time I have had to come here for myself or one of my family members, we always have had a good experience.

We had the misfortune of seeing Dr. Trickey in the ER at Legacy Meridian Park. My 3 year old toddler had COVID as well as strider. From the moment Dr. Trickey entered the room he seemed annoyed as I told him what brought us in. Then he told me he needed me to take my son’s shirt off to listen to his lungs. My son was scared and sick and started to cry. I was trying to talk him down and explain what was going to happen when Dr. Trickey told me to lay him down so he could look at his throat. When he didn’t immediately comply, Dr. Trickey told me “mom, I need you to hold him down like this!” He then pinned him down by his arms and head on the table. All while poking him in the eye with his light. I scooped up my son and left! I am appalled that this man has a license and is practicing! Terrible bedside manner, no people skills, compassion, or sympathy. Rude, impatient, condescending and ROUGH. Steer clear unless you are near death, even then I would reconsider!
