I want to start by saying that I have had positive experiences with The Takacs Clinic overall, and…read moreI do believe Dr. Joan Takacs is knowledgeable and capable. That's part of why this is difficult to write. I'm sharing this because of a pattern I've experienced over multiple visits, culminating in my most recent appointment. Over time, there have been repeated issues with communication, documentation, and coordination related to my workers' compensation case. This is not based on a single interaction. For example, during a prior visit, I was not provided a work release note, which created confusion when I later tried to follow up. When I called to clarify, I was told there was nothing further available, without additional explanation or effort to resolve the gap. Earlier in my claim, there were also instances where documentation had to be corrected retroactively so that my work status accurately reflected my condition and I could receive appropriate compensation. I understand these cases involve multiple moving parts, but situations like that reinforce how important consistency and accuracy are from the start. During my most recent visit, I was asked whether I felt "medically stationary." I explained that I am not a medical professional and not qualified to make that determination. That should come from the provider after a complete evaluation, including coordination with all treating professionals. In my case, both my physical therapist and aquatic therapist had not yet been consulted. The medically stationary status was marked as "not sure," which I appreciate, because it reflects that a full evaluation had not yet taken place. However, the conversation leading up to that point felt rushed and, at times, framed in a way that placed pressure on me to answer something I should not be responsible for determining. Another concern was how the conversation was framed around "moving forward" and "closing the claim." These are things I have expressed over the past two years. I do want to move forward. However, hearing those same phrases reflected back in this context felt misaligned, especially when key steps like coordinating with my therapists had not yet been completed. It gave the impression that my own words were being used to support a timeline that had not been fully evaluated. Wanting to move forward does not mean skipping necessary steps, it means making sure everything has been properly reviewed so that the next step is accurate. I was also told that "this isn't a game" and that "this is my life." I agree with that completely, as I've been saying that throughout this process. But in that moment, it felt less like support and more like pressure, especially when I was being asked to weigh in on something I'm not qualified to determine. Statements like that carry weight, and in a workers' compensation setting, they can come across as pressure if not paired with thorough evaluation and coordination of care. A patient should not feel responsible for advancing the process without full clinical guidance. After two years of navigating this process, I have been consistent in what I've communicated. The issue is not a lack of clarity on my end, it's that those concerns have not always been fully reflected in follow-through. What stands out most is the pattern: moments where communication breaks down, documentation is inconsistent, or decisions move forward without full coordination between providers. In a workers' compensation case, those details directly affect treatment, recovery timelines, and stability. For context, my injury involves the hip, and my background is in aquatics. I am a swimmer, water polo player, and artistic swimmer, and have worked in aquatic environments for many years. The hip is central to nearly every movement, and recovery requires careful, progressive rehabilitation. I have only recently returned to the water, which is a key part of my recovery. Given that, discussing whether I am medically stationary at this stage, without full coordination across my care team felt premature and not fully aligned with the recovery process. I do want to acknowledge that the physical therapy team, especially Andy, has been excellent. That side of care has been thoughtful, consistent, and a very positive part of my experience. Despite the concerns above, I still look forward to continuing care here. I have been in a vulnerable position throughout this process, and I recognize the ways Dr. Joan Takacs and the team have supported me. Edit: Since writing this review, I received a letter dated March 26, 2026 stating that Dr. Takacs is withdrawing from my care and canceling my upcoming appointment. I have been advised to transition to another provider. Same week Judas betrayed Jesus by the way.

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.

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!

Probably done with this doctor's office for good. Years of dealing with their disorganization and…read morenow having an appointment get pushed back SEVEN WEEKS because they messed up is insane. I would suggest looking elsewhere than South Tabor for your provider. I originally came to South Tabor in the late 2010's and saw Dr Haung. Which was a very bad experience and she basically told me I was exaggerating a debilitating issue I was having and wrote me off. I won't go in to those details cause I don't think she works at South Tabor any more. In 2021, a couple years and a lot of urgent care visits later, in a lot of pain from the same issue and frustrated with my insurance, I booked another appointment at South Tabor because at the time they were able to et me in much quicker than anywhere that my insurance covered and they set me up with Doctor Spear. Dr Spear actually believed me and set me up with a specialist who knew exactly what was wrong with me and got me on the path to recovery after 4 terrible years. I'm forever grateful to doctor Spear for this. Fast forward to 2023. I went in for another issue that was effecting my life heavily(and still does) and Dr. Spear said she would refer me to a specialist to see if there was anything that could be done about it. Unfortunately I never got a call, text or email about the referral and was never able to see a specialist. And I gave up hope of this issue ever being solved. This was very disappointing and I avoided going to the doctor again for a few years after this. Then at the begging of this year, 2026, I decided that there were 3 things I had been putting off for too long(Not including the thing I never saw the specialist for) and booked an appointment at South Tabor with Dr Spear. After I booked the appoint South Tabor called me and told me that Dr. Spear couldn't do a vasectomy consult(which I understand) so they had to change my one appointment to two appointments with 2 different doctors. One with Dr. Spear for the non-vascectomy stuff on Feb 11th and one with Dr. Pacheco for the Vasctomy consult on Feb 23rd. So I went to my Feb 11th appointment and it started off fine. But halfway through the appointment Dr. Spear walked out and didn't return. Then a nurse came in and said "okay you're good to go" I was confused and asked why I wasn't able to finish my appointment and that I booked the appointment specifically for something that the doctor hadn't addressed yet, the nurse said "Well I guess you'll just have to book another appointment. I was pretty upset because I went from paying for one appointment to now paying for 3 appointments and dealing with the hassle of taking time of work THREE TIMES to deal with what should have honestly just been one doctors appointment. But the insanity does end there. I went to make my third appointment at the front desk and told them what happened. I told them I was upset and they asked if I wanted to talk to the clinic manager about it. I agreed and he came out to the lobby after a bit and I told him what happened and he didn't really say anything other than he would get back to me and to wait for his call. A couple days later someone from South Tabor named Denise left me a message apologizing for what happened and said, and I quote, "If you call me on my direct line I will get you set up with a new appointment and waive the co-pay fee." I still have the proof in my voicemail box. I THOUGHT this was a step in the right direction. I attempted to call her back 4 times over a week and a half and left her 3 voicemails with with no response. So I thought, I'm going back in on Feb 23rd for my vasectomy consult, so hopefully Denise will at least talk to me in person. Now today, on Feb 23rd, I went in for my vasectomy consult with Dr. Pacheco, which I initially THOUGHT went fine. It was quick and he told me the appointment was done and that I could schedule the actual procedure on my way out. The out patient scheduler was gone so I went to the front and waited to schedule my procedure. While I had the woman at the front desk, I asked if I could talk to Denise, since she wasn't able to return my calls and I really wanted to deal with this issue that I initially went to Dr. Spear for on Feb 11th, which was never addressed. The front desk woman said she would try to figure out what was going on but was going to help the people behind me in line first. After about 10+ minutes of waiting, only because I was trying to schedule this thing that THEY had messed up and wouldn't return my calls about, Dr Pacheco comes out and says something like "Oh I'm glad you're still here! I forgot to give you the physical exam that you'll need in order to get the vasectomy." So if I hadn't been dealing with this other South Tabor problem, I would have already been back at work and probably would have had to reschedule for an additional vasectomy consult as well. Which is ridiculous. So I go back in to the back and Pacheco gives me the physical exam

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.
