Dr. Giedwoyn is one of the best physicians I have ever seen. From the moment you arrive until the…read moremoment you leave, you are cared for, listened to, and respected. Instead of spending hours in a waiting room, you spend your time with her, getting personal attention. Every detail of your health and wellbeing is attended to and all options are explored: diet and nutrition, lifestyle choices, medications (both Western and natural), physical fitness, and possible stressors. Unlike other doctors, Dr. Giedwoyn has a holistic approach to help you find the most effective plan to improve your health. She also personally follows up with you, which is almost unheard of in the modern American medical community. If you want holistic, attentive care from a compassionate individual with a wealth of knowledge, I highly recommend Dr. Giedwoyn.

I have been working with Dr. Jarvela for years, and I cannot even express all the amazing things…read moreshe had done for me and to better my health. She has been more knowledgeable and resourceful than any other healthcare clinician I have seen. She has addressed my health on so many levels that has improve the quality of my life including hormonal issues, gut issues, weight loss, food allergies, and genetic mutations to name a few. She diagnosed two major health issues that other doctors missed, one being a severe gut infection where they wanted to remove my gall bladder. It was not my gall bladder at all, I had a stomach infection!!!! Once she treated this, I had no pain...and I still have my gallbladder! I also had a genetic mutation I was unaware of wreaking havoc on my body, all the other doctors told me there was nothing wrong with me. She found it, treated it, and all symptoms are gone now. As a woman, I was so frustrated with mainstream care, healthcare providers not listening to me, symptoms worsening, and feeling just plain awful physically. Dr. Jarvela has helped me to treat my hormonal issues, lose weight, identify nutrient deficiencies, and help me feel better. The most amazing part is that because I feel better this has overflowed into all areas of my life, what a great benefit! Office staff is fabulous, Katie and CJ are wonderful, organized, and always professional. Dr. Jarvela has a great attitude, she is easy to talk to, fun, great bedside manner, and I would recommend everyone see her! I cannot say enough amazing things about this amazing doc, her staff, and the clinic...I am so grateful I found her and the staff at ONM!

Searching for and finding a naturopath is an arduous process but once you know you've found the one…read morewho is right for you, then all is right with the world. The online search began with knowing that I wanted to find someone on the east side and knowing that I wanted a guy. Found him in Dr. John Reynolds, ND. This guy has helped me more than anyone else, including well, everyone. When you're not sick but just dealing with all the little naggy crap related to aging, well... Some of you know how it is. The staff is courteous and respectful. Katie, the office manager, is sweet and always helpful & CJ, the resident MA, gives the best jab this side of the pond. Soon I'll be starting neurofeedback with Dr. Shannon to try to eliminate my migraines, a malady that only developed in the last 5 years. How is that even possible? I'll let you know how it goes. I can't say enough about Dr. Reynolds, his staff, and Oregon Natural Medicine. So if you get the chance, choose them & say enough yourselves.

Review: Takacs Clinic / Dr. Joan Takacs, D.O…read more Rating: (1/5) I had a deeply damaging and medically irresponsible experience with Dr. Joan Takacs and her staff. Both she and her team were incredibly rude, dismissive, and entirely lacked basic empathy. During my evaluation, Dr. Takacs flatly refused to answer my questions and refused to physically assess the actual site of my injury, stating she "didn't need to see" it. In her official medical report, she essentially called me crazy, explicitly writing off my severe physical symptoms as psychological issues rather than a real physical condition. Less than a week after her dismissive consult, I was formally diagnosed by another specialist with CRPS (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome). To have a physical medicine specialist refuse to properly look at a severe injury, completely misread a debilitating neurological condition, and chalk it up to a mental issue is unacceptable. Her hostile approach and failure to evaluate my symptoms caused immense distress and threatened to derail my medical care. Avoid this clinic at all costs if you have a complex, severe chronic pain condition and want to be treated with dignity.

Dr. Susan Schmidt has literally changed my life in powerful and profound ways. Dr. Schmidt and her…read moreteam are efficient and kind. Dr. Schmidt is one of the most gifted, brilliant, intuitive, and compassionate healers I ever have had the great good fortune to work with. I was referred to Dr. Schmidt a few months ago by my physical therapist because of an extremely painful and debilitating recurring "shoulder and neck freeze." This would last for a week and was so painful, preventing me from being able to hardly move at all, much less work. I had neck surgery last July, and my PT felt this all was somehow connected, and that I needed swift and immediate intervention to prevent lifelong debilitating pain patterns via my new network of nerves that were being patterned as they formed post-surgery. This could be a whole book, but I'll just add this. Not only did Dr. Schmidt put a halt to the neck/shoulder freezes, she also completely reversed (yes completely) moderate to severe carpal tunnel syndrome in one arm, and reduced it in the other arm from constant pain and numbness that seriously interfered with my sleep and functioning to a mild annoyance. No more arm braces at night! She has also improved my overall energy, mobility and flexibility throughout my entire body, and it feels as though the healing in my neck has really moved forward. I have regained my positive attitude about my future, and know that I still can do some of those things I thought I'd missed, like hang-gliding, horseback riding, and learning to play my bass. I highly recommend Dr. Schmidt and her methods, even though you might find them unfamiliar. We are so lucky to have her in our midst.

For a few years we got pretty good treatment from Dr Shay and the naturopathic doctors who worked…read moreat this clinic... ... But then they got greedy, and started charging us what they call "Membership" fees. Is this something new for a medical Private Practice? Because I've never heard of such a thing, and it seems vulgar. We decided that we weren't going to pay these membership fees, and moved to a new clinic, but I just realized that they have been charging me membership fees in the amount of $13.75 (thru "Square") periodically, which I had assumed to be copays, and I had no notification of these charges. That feels pretty sneaky, and is ultimately what initiated this review, as I figured I should speak up...and I don't write many negative reviews. They came up with a whole justification for these new fees,, commenting on their top notch medical care and the advantages of having a smaller pp clinic, but their office is an attic floor above a restaurant converted from an old house with a steep staircase, and there's no elevator, so it's a pain in the ass or impossible to get up there for many disabled.

I have emailed the office 6 times and left 5 voicemails requesting calls or emails back. Instead, they text saying that it will be sent to the account manager. The account manager has yet to follow up with me, but has had no problem adding late fees to my bill. When Dr. Shay remembers to follow up with previous providers and complete paperwork, he is a very friendly and helpful doctor, but he's very inconsistent with those practical parts of medicine. I ultimately changed providers due to lack of follow-up and their new implementation of a required subscription for primary care patients.

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.

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.

Now if it's a med that you take each month and your pharmacy says they reached out and haven't heard from them, best to shoot them an email.
