    I came here from Hillsboro Oregon because my physiatrist that left Portland Dr Perkey is here 2…read moredays a month and I have had nothing but issues with Physiatrists in the Portland Metro area since she left. Dr Perkey and her medical assistant are wonderful. I left a message with her medical assistant and didn't hear back for a few weeks then got a random call from her that Dr Perkey would see me again. I so appreciate it as she is hands down the best doctor I have ever had who actually cares and listens and helps you to find solutions. The building was a large one and a lot going on but the process of check in and getting to the doctor was seamless and easy. To be able to get educated and compassionate care by a provider who keeps up to date on brain injury and gives you tools to use makes a world of a difference! So glad I am able to come here and have no problem making the drive anytime until we can move to bend which is in our 2 year plan.

We arrived at 12:08 pm and were informed that everyone was at lunch and it would be an hour wait. Finally the Trage RN returns, but takes people out of order. My father is 89, walks with a cane. Everyone else that was been seen before him was ambulatory. Overall we have been happy with the physicians, but extremely disappointed in the office protocold. Taking the sickest first makes sense, but this was not the case both times we have used NOW Care.

He never remembers you as a patients from next. I had my 1st surgery he has taken my life away from me. I no longer can walk standing straight up and down! 230mm forwards and 30mm to the left. It has now been 2.5 years since my butchering!

There was a point where I announced to the authorities and Dr. Belza that I was a long suffering domestic abuse survivor. I asked to pay for the surgery out of pocket and he had us talk to "Mike" who deals with financial issues. The experience with Mike was misleading, just like Belza and his staff, confusing and he seemed to make up his responses on the fly. In the end Dr. Belza said he was leaving his practice, having personal surgery and was not sure he could help me. All those years that he said he could and he can't even tell me himself! I would advise anyone to search hard for a good neurosurgeon to help your painful problem. Update: I found Dr. Manoso in Portland and he was shocked that I had been strung along for 7 years! One visit to him and he immediately put me on the surgery list, even bumped me up. On July 13,2020 I am finally getting my first SI Joint fusion surgery. Then I will go back and have my left side done. Very respectful doctor who has ethics and the abilities to help patients get their lives back and no long be crippled and riddled with pain. The opposite of my expensive years believing in Dr. Belza and his office. If you ever have to speak with "Mike" proceed with caution because he did not deliver, just like Belza. Very elusive and fumbles with numbers. Go somewhere else!
