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.

Let's face it, no one looks forward to an colonoscopy! But I will say with 100% honesty, if I knew…read moreit would be this easy, so much of a non-ssue, I would not have been five years late in getting it done. If you need a colonoscopy, this is the place! They have the entire process perfected! No longer do you need to consume a gallon of discusting fluid to prep. They prescribed a low volume cleanse, Clenpek, which was easy to get down and worked within a hour. No staying up all night running to the bathroom. That is so 2010. Not only was the prep easy, they have perfected the entire process, orchestrated every single detail, every step, like a finely tuned performance. From the helpful text messages to remind you to start the prep, a second to remind you to consume the second bottle, another to let you know to stop drinking liquids so that nothing is left to chance. They want the scope to be able to see the inside of your colon and they do all they can to ensure this happens. Once you arrive at the facility, the check in is simple. At your designated time, you are taken back to the pre-procedure room and the nurse goes through what to expect. They take your medical history and go through the normal questions about your meds, etc. They hook you up to the IV, cover you with a warm blanket and then you meet with the anesthesiologist, Bobby, who was awesome and answered all of my questions. 20 minutes later I was in the procedure room where Dr. Flora immediately put me at ease and I even laughed at his "dad" jokes. The actual colonoscopy takes about 16 minutes. You are out the entire time, feel no pain, remember nothing. Next thing I knew I woke up on my own, back in the pre-procedure room. Sipped some apple juice and then the doctor came in to share the results, even showing pictures and gave me the print out. All went well and I got dressed and was on my way. A friend drove me home. All the unnecessary stress I put myself through for nothing! They have made so many improvements and now having a colonoscopy is a breeze and pain free. Both the prep and the procedure. If you need to have one, do it and schedule it here.

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!
