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 went to a surgeon who predicted 6-9 months post surgery recovery. And told me PRP treatments could not work. "You can waste your money in them but you'll be back for surgery anyway." I canceled surgery after meeting with Dr Patrick. I had a series of four sets of shots of PRP (platelet rich plasma) into the shoulder area over next four-five months. After second set began to work with a PT, Dr Caleb Wright, who specializes in PT support for PRP treatments. This was the winning combo. My shoulder is 95% recovered after five months (four sets of shots) and now I will continue to do strength training exercises and get it to 100%. I can highly recommend the good people at Sellwood Family Medicine! They're tops!

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.

I can't believe it's taken me this long to write a review for the wonderful team at Mississippi…read moreHealth Center. Dr. Justin Ilsley has been my PCP for at least 12, maybe 14 years, and I feel genuinely lucky that I found this place so many years ago. Having a naturopath as a PCP works beautifully for me; they treat the whole body, can call in prescriptions if appropriate and if something falls outside their scope I see a specialist. That said, MHC offers a remarkable range of services in-house: naturopathy, acupuncture, herbal therapies, bodywork treatments (focused massage, cupping, kinesiotape), IV treatments (chelation and vitamin supplements), and on-site blood draws for labs. And that's only about half of what they offer. It took me a long time to come around to acupuncture, but I'm a believer now. It's subtle, it treats the whole body, and it may take a couple of visits, but at the very least, you'll leave the calm, peaceful session feeling deeply relaxed and genuinely cared for. More often than not, whatever was bothering you has quietly resolved itself. Of course there's no pressure if that's not your kind of thing. If you're someone who's serious about a holistic approach to your health and not just masking symptoms with a pill, this place is a wonderful fit. It doesn't feel like a cold, clinical doctor's office. You feel like you are entering a warm, supportive, caring, natural environment when you walk through the doors. They take the time to get to know you and understand what's happening in your life, and offer treatments that reflect that. I also really like that they are invested in the community and getting to know their neighbors by occasionally offering fun workshops. Dr. Sarah Jones is a newer addition to the team and every bit as knowledgeable and nurturing as Justin and Beth. And while I haven't worked directly with Beth, I've heard nothing but high praise from the community for her talents and specialized offerings. Even the folks at the front desk staff have a warmth about them. These are some of the kindest people I know, and this is a genuinely special place.

As a person of color who does not curse or call people names, I can honestly say that this health…read morecenter has failed me in regards to not being able to show empathy enough to provide support after visiting the emergency room years apart for different needs. I had to beg and wait in tears for crutches or a walker when the disk in my back became extremely swollen impacting my entire body causing extreme cramping, loosing feeling in my legs and severe knee and hip pain. I lost full motion of my joint between my leg and my pelvis. Terrible Terrible pain. I had to scoot around the house using a box. Nothing worked! Then when I had my needs neglected at Legacy in N Portland; I was forced to walk around no car in all with a foreign sharp object lodged 1 inch deep in my foot of which no one could find including a Legacy foot specialist. I limped to the store, to my child's school, to the park, and everywhere else. I had to beg for a prescription of pain killers which was not given by Legacy until I seen the specialist days later with the object still in my foot. I prefer herbal remedies over prescriptions, but I still needed the prescription. I spent the entire day calling around trying to advocate for myself the following day after being released from the emergency room. When I called I explained everything to Mississippi Health. Mind you I was never given the option to speak or arrange a time to consult my physician. Instead, I was told right off the back after explaining the horrible experience with legacy that a referral to outpatient surgery "is out of Mississippi Health Center's jurisdiction". I told them the physical in the emergency department required that I follow up with my primary. Mind you Legacy never reviewed my contacts or demographics with me. Legacy never sent over my treatment information either, which I explained. I was given podiatrist options to call and make appointments with without a referral. I ended up waiting 4 days to get the foreign object removed which was very risky and dangerous. Legacy had lied about issuing crutched to me as well. I informed Mississippi about this as well. I was told by Mississippi health that I would get call back. I did not get a call back but ended up calling and told them that they were cruel for not helping me. I was sad! They hung up on me. So its easy to tone police a person of color who is tired, scared, and desperate for services. This is a common form of micro aggression that is normalized and more than often excused. I ended up getting surgery at a different hospital after doing everything on my own. The post op appointment with Legacy consisted of a Podiatrist assistant looking at my foot for a quick minute, changing the dressing after I asked him to, then telling me the appointment was done without the Podiatrist(the expert) coming in to complete the examination and answer questions. To make matters worse, I was sent paperwork to find another provider by Mississippi Health. Even though I have already requested assistance with finding a new provider twice in the last year or so including the following day after my most recent emergency room visit. *** If you are a person of color be aware.*** I was also sent pre-surgery paperwork from legacy requesting a signature that several staff witnessed me signing. I have a picture of one (legacy does not know that I took a picture). They confiscated my form that listed my refusal to consent to vaccinations through biologics which they can place in IV's. Moving forward: I did not know that my younger sister use to be a member of Mississippi until she told me. She said she had been misdiagnosed for years until she switched providers. She lives in another state now. I spent years receiving guesstimates about conditions and had to beg for testing after doing online research and speaking with others regarding conditions. Had I not known the test names, I would not have been offered them. Medical discrimination is hardwired in policy, testing, and procedure and for this reason health care disparities exist across the board. The whole experience has been a gaslight for simple obvious needs that no one regardless of who they are or what color of skin they have should have to beg for. I am well informed and conscious about my health and I myself have worked with vulnerable populations for over 20 years serving the community so I am not anything close to how I have been treated.

I had put this procedure off for more than four years because I was nervous about having it done. If anyone is feeling the same way, I hope my experience gives you some reassurance. From the moment I checked in until I was discharged, everyone was kind, professional, and attentive. The pre-op area was comfortable and private, and every member of the team treated me with genuine care and respect. Before surgery, Dr. Castillo, the nurse, and the anesthesiologist each took the time to verify my name, birthdate, the procedure, and the correct surgical site. Every staff member who came into the room repeated these safety checks, which gave me great confidence that they took patient safety very seriously. The surgery itself went smoothly, and my recovery was far easier than I expected. I had very little pain, only minimal bleeding, and Tylenol was all I needed afterward. I truly couldn't have asked for a better outcome. I want to sincerely thank Dr. Francisco Castillo for his exceptional skill and gentle care. I'm also deeply grateful to the pre-op team, the operating room staff, the anesthesia team, and everyone who cared for me that day. You turned something I had feared for years into a very positive experience. I highly recommend Providence Plaza Ambulatory Surgery Center to anyone needing surgery. Christine
