I am kind of stunned to find such a negative review of this doctor here. Dr. Larson was my doctor…read morefor about 2 years when I was a professor living in Portland and I found her medical care to be excellent. I saw her on at least 5 occasions, and each time, I found her staff professional and pleasant. During examinations, she answered all of my questions thoughtfully, and I found her very personable in her interactions with me. Dr. Larson's style of care I would describe as non-interventionist and holistic: she was not eager to prescribe medications for every little thing, and she asked me a lot of questions not just about specific ailments but about my broader health and well-being. I wish I had written a review before I moved away from Portland since I would remember more specific details, but I truly miss her medical care and expertise. I found her superbly professional and knowledgeable. And this is a more minor issue, but I found the fact that her offices are located in the ground floor of a building that was formerly a large home very comforting. The examination rooms were all properly clinical, certainly, but the rooms had real furniture and were warm and comfortable. In some ways this felt like visiting a traditional family doctor. Medical care has become, if anything, too impersonal and clinical. I really appreciated how Dr. Larson took care to create an environment for her patients that felt more like a welcoming space for her practice. I really can't recommend her highly enough.

I know that everyone has their own tastes when it comes to personal care, but do yourself a favor…read moreand don't use this woman as your doctor. I've had a number of bad doctor experiences over the years, but this was by far the worst. Dr. Larson was recommended to me when I first moved to the Portland area and didn't know where to start when it came to finding a doctor. I've been lucky enough to stay pretty healthy over the past few years, so I didn't have to see her often, but I don't think there was ever a time I walked out of her office thinking 'Wow, I'm so glad this woman is my health care provider.' The straw that broke this camel's back was a recent experience over the 4th of July holiday. I called the office on the 4th (which was a Thursday) and left a message, acknowledging the holiday and asking to please be called ASAP. I did not get a call until the following Wednesday, which is an eternity later when you're sick. The other staff her is generally uninterested and slightly unpleasant, and when I signed up for their online services I started getting spam emails and phone calls. In the time that I used Dr. Larson as my physician, she referred me to an incompetent ENT who retired a few weeks after seeing me (so glad I trusted my gut and got out of there before engaging in procedures that would have needed months of follow up). Maybe we're getting too personal now, but my point is that this was the worst doctor I've ever been to, and people shouldn't have to suffer through mediocre health care, especially when there are awesome doctors out there (and it's not like we don't pay for the visits).

I hardly ever write reviews but this one is so worth it. I have to admit that I was hesitant about…read morethe membership fee for this practice, but after having had health problems for over a year now and my previous doctor at Martin's Point not knowing what to do with me, I decided to bite the bullet, and especially out at ease after my first consultation with Dr. Blake Smith. I am SO glad that I did. After that, we had two incredibly in-depth appointments when I signed on, and I honestly felt like a movie star. I've NEVER had such an amazing experience at a doctor's office before. I actually loathe going to the doctor and it gives me anxiety. Not anymore. Gone are the days of long waits in the waiting room with a bunch of sick people, plus the longest wait in the exam room to be followed by just being glazed over by yet another doctor I've never seen before. I actually get to see my real doctor at each appointment and I can tell that she genuinely cares for what's going on with me, and she wants dig in and to get to the bottom of it. She took her time at each appointment and gave me several options on paths of treatment instead of just pushing pills on me and then seeing me out the door. We talked about diet, exercise, mental health, you name it. And the tests they ran were quite extensive, something my previous doctors never did. And anytime I've sent messages in to my doctor, she has been super responsive. To top it all off, I can't believe that I actually I have my doctor's CELL PHONE number! That is unheard of! Not only am I so pleased with the doctor's deep knowledge and incredible attention, the bedside manner and FEEL of the place is just unlike anything I've ever experienced in my life. From the time I walk in to the charming office and am greeted by the amazingly friendly, supportive and responsive nurses/staff, to the fresh SPA ROBE I was given for my exam, plus a huge snack basket to choose from after my fasting blood test, I felt like a princess or even better, a member of the family....at the DOCTOR'S OFFICE. I've never had a doctor and entire team who I felt I could call my own, and now I do. I've finally found what I've been looking for all these years! Thank you Dr. Blake Smith & team for making me feel so at home and well taken care of!

I questioned my co pay and the receptionist was very snarky with her response and I almost left…read moresolely because of that but I didn't. Then you wait and wait and wait. There is nothing quick about this place. The whole experience felt like a business deal to them. What has happened to health care? I would not ever go back here. UPDATE! So my elbow that was X Rayed here and cleared by their radiologist was in fact FRACTURED, so now I have a piece of bone floating on my ulna nerve and have to go have a nerve test done before they can remove the piece of bone. So now I live in pain still until I can get into have the nerve test done and who knows how much longer after that until it gets removed. Today validated why I gave such a bad review and why I will NEVER step foot in a Convenient MD ever again and I'll make sure the word gets out to the best of my ability about the crap care this place gives.

Dr. Robbins is an expert in endometriosis excision, only 1 in about 100 in the world. He does not…read moreaccept insurance, so he is out of network and therefore more expensive than other gynecological surgeons. However, he has a track record of 86% of endometriosis patients not needing follow-up surgeries. This is possible due to his ability to remove tissue from major organs and structures - he takes his time to accomplish this (my surgery was over 7 hours). Other surgeons use ablation and/or need to perform laparotomies to work with the intestines, but Dr. Robbins has the skill to perform major surgery laproscopically. This cuts recovery time in half and limits complications. Dr. Robbins is also very gentle and patient, and he likes to educate his patients about their disease - you won't find other surgeons who take the time. He prides himself on evolving his technique after 30 years of experience, as well as for listening to his patients. For endometriosis patients with a history of poor treatment, missed diagnoses, and being brushed off, Dr. Robbins will feel like a miracle.

He has been doing this along time and it is beyond proficient and detailed. Recently, I had an urgent episode, a twisted ovary-excrucitatingly painful.

I am so impressed by his work that I realized that not all surgeons are alike even if they are doing the "same" procedure.
