Rating doctors like everyday products is not really appropriate, so saying a doctor is "great" is…read morenot particularly meaningful for a seriou subject. So I am going to tell you what giving 5 stars to a doctor (of any kind) means to me. Fyi, I have difficult, serious, and ongoing IBD issues. We're not talking my imagination here - I had 4 gut surgeries in 8 years, each time after experiencing symptoms that GI doctors at Kaiser could no longer deny were real and required immediate attention. They were always reluctant to treat something they couldn't see plainly, even though it was there. (IBD is like that - it's not easy to see what's going on in the gut.) After I left Kaiser and signed up at OHSU in Oregon, the care approach didn't really change....these doctors are always difficult to get an appointment with, unwilling to answer pointed questions, unwilling to suggest or discuss possible treatments outside of their "standard" set, unwilling to tweak anything to customize my care, and unwilling to share their knowledge. By the way, I have a science background and a good working knowledge of human biology/biochemistry, so when I ask technical questions, I expect technical answers. Nope, not with these men and women. Generally my GI doctors from Kaiser and OHSU have been dismissive and uninterested in exploring my complex case to come up with solutions. Needless to say, they all leave me frustrated and still sick. So when I give Dr. Gurevich the highest possible rating, what I mean is that she really tries to help me. She is available in reasonable time frames, always tells me in detail what she thinks, always listens to what I say, and always tells me what treatment options are available. And our discussions are always science and medicine-based.She lets me know what's out there and what's new. I don't necessarily jump at every possibility, but at least I become aware of, and get to understand what the possibilities are. Dr. Gurevich hasn't come up with any magic treatment to make me all better, but she has definitely prescribed some things that have helped stabilize my condition. She's not going to cure me, but she's helping me.

I had two upper endoscopy's performed at the Portland clinic and each time I was so groggy I could not remember the ride home, was slightly feverish the next day, did not fully recover for two days each time and took 3 emails over two weeks to get any questions answered. Dr. Weprin did an upper endoscopy and a colonoscopy and quite frankly I felt great afterwards. He met me after the procedure and explained what he found. I felt good enough that I could have driven home (not that they would let you). About as good an experience you could have for that procedure.

Probably the friendliest, most sociable, doctor I have ever had. That really put me at ease (which is hard since I am afraid of doctors) and he answered all my questions. You can tell he wants his patients to feel better, and it's appreciated. As Andrew S. noted, doctors at this practice have different personalities so make sure you know what you want. I prefer a doctor who will have a little chit-chat and smile and joke around - it makes me feel comfortable. If you prefer something more straight forward you may want another doctor, but I really cannot say enough good things about Dr. Smith. Everyone else (the nurses, receptionists, etc) are very professional and sociable. All around a great practice!
