Forced to use PTO on days I leave early for medical appointments (I’m exempt, not hourly)

I'm a nurse in Oregon. I am a full-time exempt/salaried employee at a major hospital. A perk of being exempt (or so I thought) is that I am paid for a full day of work regardless if I have to leave a little early to make an appointment. There is even a policy at my work place that exempt employees aren't even allowed to use PTO on partial work days. However, my manager has recently been adjusting my timecard and docking my PTO for days I have left early for my medical appointments (I have had a lot recently). Is this even legal? Has anybody else had to deal with this scenario before?
