I came to Dr Hodgson after being diagnosed by another ENT with Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss…read more From what I understand, he is one of just a few specialists in Otology and Neurotology in the Portland area (meaning he is an ENT who specializes in hearing and balance-related issues). From my first experiences with his office (on the phone with Naomi at the front desk), it was clear that the culture at his practice is to go above and beyond for their patients. I was in a bit of an anxiety-fueled state by the time of my first appointment, and had prepared a long list of questions. Over many minutes, Dr Hodgson patiently and thoughtfully answered each question, providing his reasoning each step of the way. He even went so far as to walk me through the many layers of my MRI images (which his medical assistant Daria had miraculously obtained electronically from a provider across town just minutes before). In discussing treatment options, he readily cited research and his personal experiences treating other patients with my condition, all the while relating this information back to the questions and concerns I'd already expressed. It was exactly what I needed to hear, and how I needed to hear it. On follow-up visits, I've been further impressed by his retention of small details from our earlier discussions (especially considering the large number of patients he treats). I've read that being a good doctor requires not just an understanding of science, but also the interpersonal skills to apply it. In my experience, Dr Hodgson is an exceptional practitioner of both. I'm grateful to him and his staff (can't forget Audiologist Michelle!) for their engagement, their professionalism and their compassion.

NOT EXACTLY GOOD BEDSIDE MANNERS, Dr. Maxwell Furr…read more PDX ENT & Audiology fired me as a patient for missing two appointments over four years when my ear hurts and I need a cancer scope!!! They call themselves audiologists and ENT surgeons, but they are utterly TONE DEAF socially. Way too much West Hills high-altitude attitude here, if you know what I mean. And the staff does not give a HOOT. Sport to them. They do not seem happy. When I asked for my patient records, they said I needed to sign up on their patient portal to obtain my records-- THIS, they are telling me AFTER I am being terminated as a patient. And the rub is this: on this provider portal, there is an option for text/ email reminders. I NEVER KNEW ABOUT their portal. Why the FUDGE was I not shown this system after the first missed appointment!!!??? COMPLETE JOKE OF AN OPERATION... and the world is too nutty for another JOKER! Do others feel this way??? It was a technology issue but the company took no time to figure out what was broken.... I AM NOT A DOCTOR but that does not seem like good medicine. BAD medicine it seems.

" Subject General Medical Q&A Dr. Maxwell Furr Patient ABCXYZ******* Message For the record: after four years of appointments, I have NEVER received a SINGLE piece of electronic communication in the way of reminders texts, emails or phone calls from PDXENT despite PDXENT having my cell number AND email. Geezus. Broken ****** system... take some responsibility, PDXENT. There was a technology/ security reason why I missed my appointment it turns out. I have many devices and calendars... there was a security lock on a key sharing calendar... I LOVE text-based reminders... or email, BUT PDXENT is THE ONLY provider I have that has NOT historically (say, in the past four years) provided me any reminder notification. My ear hurts, it is not exactly easy to find providers... It is not even that I think the PDXENT patient-termination policy is draconian (yes-- DRACONIAN), ...it is that PDXENT never took time to figure out the disconnect after the first "strike". When did electronic notification become available???? Why did we not deal with this on the first "strike"... My guess is that operations are broken, the staff is generally pissed and the owners are geared on Porsches. Blow. ...that sums it up for me. They can do just that.

Dr. Alexander Yu is truly exceptional!…read more I've been seeing Dr. Yu for the past three years, and the difference in my health has been incredible. Before treatment, spring and fall were the difficult due to constant sneezing, congestion, and itchy eyes that made it hard to enjoy the beautiful weather. Thanks to Dr. Yu's care, I get through allergy season with just slightly itchy eyes. My asthma is also much better managed, and I feel more in control of my health than ever before. I've recommended Dr. Yu to several coworkers and family members, and they've all had great experiences too. These days It's rare to find a doctor who is not only accessible, but takes time to listen to patients. Dr. Yu is kind, patient, and always takes time to explain things clearly so I always leave appointments feeling heard and supported.

Dr. Price is an out of the box creative thinker and has helped me with my systemic condition with a few unusual but effective remedies. She is undaunted by complex conditions and is one of the few doctors that are truly knowledgeable about my diagnosis in Portland, and I feel grateful that I am able to be seen by her.

However, my balance and dizziness issues persisted. I was warned against chiropractors by many providers, and I still have skepticism about other providers. Before seeing Dr Burks, my symptoms had started to degrade again to the point where I was having work challenges. After my first visit with Dr Burks, I started to have immediately relief. I have been seeing him for about once a week for 3 months, and am at least have way through my original treatment plan. At this point, my symptoms are for the most part gone, or as gone as I could expect given my surgical history. Also, the tone and stability of my neck has never felt better. The approach Dr Burks takes seems safe. Your head and neck are always supported, and there are not fast movements. Now..... will you have as much benefit for your vestibular systems as I have? I have no idea. Vestibular disorders are VERY complicated. Neck alignment and mobility may be but ONE aspect you need to correct. I will happily share my experience with anyone who is interested.

I don't even know where to start about my experience with trying to get in to see Dr. Esmer. I…read morecannot write about his bedside manner or how he is in regards to caring for his patients since I didn't get the chance to. After seeing my primary care dr., she recommended that I see a DO, someone more specialized and with more knowledge and guidance than what she's been able to help with the last few years. After letting my primary care dr. gynecologist, and my outpatient care dr. know what the next move was, they were all on board. My primary care dr. recommended a few DO's she knew personally. Once I got home, I started the process of finding a new dr. Either no one was accepting new patients , they retired, or sadly left town. On June 24th., 2024, I spent several hours with my insurance company and calling numerous clinics and private practices to see if they were accepting new patients: that's when I found Osteopathic PDX. After reading the dr's bio and reading a few positive reviews, I called to see if he was welcoming new patients. Dianne, the office manager, collected some information and put me on the books for Aug 26th., 2024, which was the soonest Monday they could see me since Monday's are my days off. I was shocked and supper bummed that the wait was so long to be seen. I patiently waited for that day to come just to receive a call by Dianne, the morning of having to cancel my apt. due to the dr. not coming into the office that day. Dianne rescheduled the apt., and the soonest Monday was September 1st., 2024. This apt. was then again canceled the day of as well. Although I was not happy, both my primary care and treatment dr. encouraged me to make one last ditch effort in rescheduling another apt. I was thinking "the dr. clearly does not like working on Monday's." Yet again, I was rescheduled for Oct., 21st. Sunday night, I received a voicemail by Dianne saying something to the effect that the dr. had something come up and that my apt. would need to be rescheduled. No. No, I sure will never be "rescheduling" another apt. with this dr., screaming out loud. I've now spent the last 4 months time waiting to be seen by this provider, and rescheduling for a 4th time is something I will not do. Working in the medical field myself, I understand that things come up with dr's and or their staff. Unfortunately, having to move patients around or reschedule them is something that happens from time to time. It personally hurts when I have to make these kind of calls to patients. However, Dianne should've known that this was 3rd cancellation now. There's one thing I know working as a surgical assistant, and that the surgeon I work for and myself would have skipped a lunch break, (as we often do anyway), or come to work an hour early, and or stay an hour later to make it right with that one patient; especially for the one who's been cancelled on one too many times. Dr's and their staff often have that ability to do just that and I wish they would've shown the compassion to do so. Perhaps in the future, when the dr. needs to reschedule the patients, you could color code or have a system in place of how many times you've had to cancel that one particular pt. because every time Dianne would call to cancel my apt., it's like she was unaware that she's now called me 3 times prior cancelling my appointments. I truly felt like she had no care whatsoever for my time spent waiting to be seen. That is was just another day at the office. It's a shame that I even have to write this review. And believe me, it's taken me weeks to think about this. I kept asking myself "should I write a review or should I just let it go?" Something over the course of the last few weeks kept nudging me to do so. Maybe now I will feel better about the situation? Maybe I just needed to write all this to get it off my chest? Because I do patient care, I felt the right thing to do is to let whomever know, who's thinking of becoming a new patient here, make aware of my experience with Osteopathic PDX.
