While he is capable of a friendly bedside manner, his host of administrative issues and ethically questionable billing practices negatively impacted me--and my health. I would advise others to seek another primary care provider. I scheduled a wellness visit with Shay (Dr. Hosseinion's first name) online a year ago after moving to Portland. During this first visit, we talked through my medical history and he also refilled two existing prescriptions from my prior MD. No physical exam beyond listening to heart/lungs. He wrote me a letter for my employer stating that he had seen me "for an annual wellness visit." Finally, he ordered a single blood test; I declined the standard panel. After the appointment, he billed my insurance company for $390. I wrote to ask about this--my last handful of wellness exams/physicals were covered at 100%--and he told me the care I received was defined as a "problem visit," offering to see me for a second visit to use the wellness exam benefit. I spoke with my insurance company, who confirmed the visit should have been billed as a wellness appointment plus an additional code for extra services. I contacted Shay's offsite billing office to request this change. I was willing to pay for the appointment, but believed it was billed improperly, resulting in an unfairly high balance left to me. It took one year of calls every month or two to get a response: No, he will not change the billing to include the wellness code or compromise on the balance. Why did it take so long to get a response? Per the billing office rep: "There's nothing we could do. We're not in his office. He's very hard to reach." In the meantime, I decided not to return for a second "wellness" visit, as Shay suggested, after my insurance company told me that getting lab results but billing for a wellness visit would be fraudulent. Instead, I waited a month, then requested a copy of my lab results three times in December. And again on Jan 4th. And again on Jan 10th. Finally, I called the lab, where a tech assured me the results were delivered to Shay in late November, less than 24 hours after the test. I sent Shay an email expressing my dismay at the wait; he did not apologize, but said they'd mail me a copy. I waited another couple weeks. When it didn't arrive, an assistant told me it was lost in the mail. I finally went to the office in person and got a paper copy. In the midst of this, the billing office told me part of the reason I wasn't receiving an invoice was because they had the wrong address on file for me - received from Shay's office (which had a copy of my driver's license). In any case, the labs showed a treatable medical issue -- something I would have liked to have known about ASAP. All told, it took me about two months to get that piece of paper. About six months later, and some eight months after the initial appointment, I got an email from Shay. He said he had my lab results and asked me to schedule an appointment. He said he found a problem in them. I would have appreciated more timely, accurate and honest communication from this physician and his assistant regarding billing and my lab results. I could have been informed during my visit that the wellness billing code would not be used in any way (using it plus another code could have, per the insurance company, mitigated some of the cost). Because such communication was lacking (and because this doctor wrote a letter to the opposite effect), I think some compromise on the final balance due would have been fair. Shay had paperwork explaining that refilling prescriptions could result in additional billing, but I could not have predicted that the entire visit would be coded to the maximum possible reimbursement. I think it is unfair to expect lay people to have this level of knowledge, particularly as there is a variance among providers in billing practices for these visits. At the least, I would have expected timely communication of my lab result. I would have begun taking a needed supplement months earlier if I had seen my lab results, and would have appreciated a simple acknowledgement that my health was comprised when I didn't receive it. For what it's worth, I paid my bill in full before submitting this review, and within days of hearing back from the billing office.

I had a recent visit with Dr. Shay and was reminded of the many reasons why I have stayed with him…read moreas my primary doctor for all these years--his fair assessment of my complaints ( physically, emotionally) and what is best needed for them, which may not be what one might expect. I go to a doctor to tell me things that I am not able to know without their help! But sometimes, it's about validating what I already know is true: When I wanted a prescription for a UTI, he reminded me that I already knew exactly what to do ( I am an herbalist)---and I confessed I was worried that I wouldn't be able to completely remedy it before traveling. SO he agreed to give me a prescription for an antibiotic for peace of mind, and guess what? It worked. I didn't need the antibiotics ultimately, but having his support helped me stay on the herbs and get better. As demonstrated in the above example, I have always felt that he listens very well to my concerns about any aspect of our visit, and modifies his approach if its appropriate, in regards to my feedback. The result is a feeling of a real collaborative partnership in my sense of health, my sense of well-being. He runs a unique, very small business, and is a unique thinker-healer-doctor-- which creates a different feel than a "typical" doctors office ( like him rolling up on his skateboard for our appointment! The best start to a visit!) but, despite some of the home-spun, DIY qualities, it has never lacked the overall professionalism of getting through all the steps of an appointment: From setting up appointment times, reminding, interpreting lab results, making decisions about what's next or referrals, paying co-pays and billing insurance---all has gone smoothly, and faster and less hassle/issues than I have had with any other medical office. He even was able to mail a prescription to me when I was far away from Portland, and needing his help---and FAST!

I needed to see a doctor quite desperately but had put it off for well over a month because I didn't know where to go, if I could afford it, and all the other unknowns when you don't have a primary care and health plan backing you up. I found the Alameda Clinic through googling and gave it a chance because of all the wonderful reviews. I showed up at around 9:20 am (walk in hours start at 9am). Dr Dan greeted me personally, I was immediately ushered back to his exam room, we discussed my issue (I have permanent 100% hearing loss in one ear and recently my "good ear" was only operating at about 20%), he did an exam to confirm the problem, and then he fixed it. During this time he mentioned a couple times that there was paperwork but I had yet to do more than tell him my name. Afterwards, almost as an afterthought, he asked if I minded filling out his form. His whole approach is so refreshing, personal and just plain human...of course I didn't mind. The form he handed me was one sided, covered the very basics and took about a minute to fill out. When I met him out in the lobby again, we talked about lychee (a Chinese fruit) and he gave me a taste of something similar. I asked him if he needed the paperwork (I'd left it in the exam room), he waved it off, I asked him how much I owed him, he asked if I could afford $80, I gladly said yes, paid him, asked him if I could give him a hug and was out the door. The whole thing from start to finish, took about 30 minutes, but to say that it was life changing for me is not an exaggeration. Dr Dan is unlike any other doctor i have ever gone to. He is a healer who is genuinely interested in and enjoys engaging with his patients. And I love that he incorporates the things that he is passionate about into your encounter with him. I have since recommended him to everyone I know and will definitely be back the next time the need arises.

The day BEFORE the appointment I was told to come in NO LATER than 30 minutes prior to complete the paperwork. My appointment was at 3pm. I was told to be there by 2:15. I ended up there at 2:20. They said "here fill this out" and I said I already did online. And they said we can't see that and it doesn't link in (so WHY send an email and text telling people to so it?) And this was the case for EVERY person who checked in while I waited. After I finished the paperwork, I sat and waited and waited and waited. And at 3:10 I was asked up to the desk and asked if I had done the paperwork. I said yes I did, and the girl asked me who I gave it to and I said "you." And then she said "oh yeah." And was fumbling through a GIANT stack of paperwork to try and find it. Let me just tell you they're like a NEGATIVE TEN out of 5 for their office staff/administration. They need to clean out and start fresh there. I wasn't overly pleased with the MA as she was curt and not very pleasant. And pushy. But Stephanie D'Andrea was great. She went through all of my history, asked relevant questions and spent probably 5 minutes, if that, ACTUALLY connecting the digital file which the office staff was completely incompetent in doing, so that she could view everything I had filled out. She didn't need the forms because she could see everything I'd input ONLINE as well as other physician test results, etc. She actually had a clue about the medicine AND the administration. Which IMHO is NOT the job of the NP or RN or Doc. That's the administration's job. To make their lives AND the patient's life EASIER. When the MA took my BP (in a seriously awkward bench chair,) I said that's REALLY high. As in even when I'm really stressed it's not that high. And she just ignored me. Then after I said something again she took it exactly the same and it was the same read. When Stephanie finished with me (interrupted 3 times by her MA giving her "time" warnings...which also seemed VERY unprofessional;) she asked the MA to retake my BP and reposition my arm because I have NO history of BP like that. Well wouldn't you know it was basically normal like what I normally read at. So many things were discussed but I mentioned painful bunions on my feet and Stephanie said "that's not a bunion. It's a wart." And I thought cool. I'm officially OLD I have warts on the side of my feet?!?! EW. No offense but I didn't believe her. I had been in a lot of pain (which she said happens with these on your foot...) and I thought NO WAY. She said to soak my feet for as long as I can in warm water and then file as much callous as I could off (and ew there was a lot...it's JUST becoming spring in the PNW LOL!) And legit AFTER just that my foot was WAY less painful. But after using the wart gel and a corn pad (yup legit old people stuff,) for a FEW days...the pain was GONE. I was like an insane person sending her messages in the patient portal saying OMG my foot feels SO much better. Like I could cry it's so much better. The pain was so bad I hadn't even realized until it stopped!!! Anyway, I had some blood work done AT the office and for someone who has NO veins, despite eating and being hydrated, NO veins lol. After serious discomfort and having the tech dig around in my hand, I suggested maybe a heat pack as it has worked previously. So we did that and it wasn't AS bad the next time. Still not great though. Anyway, overall experience was Stephanie 10/5 stars. MA 2.5/5 stars. Office staff -10/5 stars.

I can't get into my doctor and am pushed off from one doctor to the next that doesn't want to deal with me. I can't get half my meds, basic referrals and tests. Simple follow up care after an ER trip where I may or may not have had a stroke has become a living nightmare. The entire OHSU system seems to exist to prevent accurate diagnosis and medical care. I've never had as negligent and abusive care anywhere and I used to go to Kaiser. Nowhere else takes months to make simple referrals and order MRIs. I have seen multiple OHSU doctors that need empathy and ethics training, at a public corporation where willful malpractice is tolerated to compensate for their critical lack of doctors and a CCO that routinely denies routine medical care. Doctors will lie to, gaslight and fight with very sick patients to get out of paperwork. Then they will lie in your record to hide the patient abandonment they know they just committed. Omitting dangerous vitals, abnormal tests and concerning symptoms is just business as usual at OHSU. This sicker you are, the more of a punching bag you become. I have seen 3 different doctors in this clinic trying to get follow up care and still have had not had my brain evaluated for a possible stroke I had a month ago. Recovering from a possible stroke has been like going to WWW wrestling matches where I repeatedly get beat down for having a major health issue. At a certain point this negligence starts to look like a system that does not want their sickest, most neglected patients to have any evidence of OHSUs negligence. I cannot imagine how many patients have died waiting for needed tests and referrals while these doctors lie to and abuse the sickest patients as if their medical conditions are a personal attack on their egos. I saw some attack dog NP yesterday who went through all 5 stages of gaslighting to get out of paperwork. She wasted my time acting like she wanted to know what was going on and proceeded to lie to and abuse me for 15 minutes straight. I told her the whole traumatic story and how I have a swollen artery and at risk for a stroke and that I need the MRI and a more urgent neurology referral that the ER recommended - very normal healthcare requests I have never had to fight like this for anywhere else. Her first response was that Medicaid wouldn't pay for it (discrimination). I said if the referral is urgent, Medicaid is supposed to. She then tried to tell me nothing indicated these referral/order and started invalidating all my symptoms and abnormal vitals and tests line by line. She twisted facts and rewrote reality while I was sitting there with a severe one sided headache. She denied I had unstable BP, lied about what the orders/report said and even read it off to me as if it proved her point. She literally read the words of the CT scan report "follow up with an MRI" out loud to me. She then said it didn't say MRI, it said I needed another MRA, like I'm an idiot who doesn't understand English, to try to make me question reality, which is the definition of gaslighting. She then became offended that I was getting emotionally distraught and shocked by her reckless disregard for my life. She said I had a bad vibe and "I'm just meeting you," as if it wasn't her job to meet patients for the first time in a literal urgent care clinic. She used this line twice, causing me to apologize and repeat that I was just afraid I could have a stroke due to swollen arteries that were seen on that MRA. She said "I'm a medical professional. I know what a stroke is," because my mere existence was an affront on this woman's fragile ego and her "not a real doctor" complex. This is the 3rd OHSU practitioner to abuse me in one month since I was in the ER a month ago. No one has denied I have a swollen artery in my head where I'm having pain. There is no follow care for me at Richmond clinic. So I will pay for my own MRI and will probably have to drop Medicaid to do so. Why not? Im already my own doctor. OHSU is performative medicine that looks very clinical on paper but doesn't exist in reality. At a point patients money-saving deaths appear to be the goal. How many former patients became disabled & homeless from preventable conditions and died living outside? I can imagine that the poor radiologists who dare to say the truth on a report get beat down in some sketchy OHSU backroom. Richmond clinic is a fake store front for money laundering scheme where patient care is "rationed" out until they die. What will they do when rationing medical care becomes illegal next year? The same.
