Insurance requires a variety of steps to go through and I have chosen Columbia to work with. I tried another doctor first with no success and giving it one more shot. My brother is an anesthesiologist in Virginia and also practices pain management, and sometimes the difference in success is not just the procedure, but the doctor doing it. We are now in step 1, with Dr. Soon, and she and the staff have been wonderful. The first test shots went like a breeze and was done with care and professionalism. Time will tell and I will update this as things progress.

From the moment I arrive, the staff are friendly, professional, and well organized. Check-in and check-out are smooth, appointments are usually on time, and I never feel rushed during my visits. The providers truly listen to my concerns and take the time to ask thoughtful questions. Treatment options are clearly explained, and I feel included in decisions about my care. I appreciate that the focus isn't just on medication, but on individualized pain management plans that consider long-term improvement and quality of life. The bedside manner is excellent, and it's clear the doctors and staff genuinely care about their patients. I've also had interactions with both the Hood River and The Dalles offices, and the level of professionalism and kindness has been consistent at both locations. Everyone treats me with respect and patience, which makes a big difference when dealing with chronic pain. Overall, Columbia Pain Management feels efficient, compassionate, and patient-centered. I feel supported, well-informed, and confident in the care I'm receiving, and I would recommend them to others seeking thoughtful, respectful pain management care.

I was in so much pain I was fighting tears just to get through the door.... I walked out with relief. The other dr.s and surgeons say I HAVE to have surgery.... Dr. chambers makes it so I don't have to have surgery. Not only has he gave me my life back he has taught me how to be gently with myself and he fixes it when I don't remember to be gentle. My pain is not completely gone.... But it is so so much better!! This man is my life line!! He is genuinely happy to see you when you come in. I have never been to ANY health care that makes me feel so welcome and that they actually care how I am doing and feeling. Him and his staff rock!! I highly recommend Dr. Chambers to ANYONE wanting to feel better!!

Dr. Chambers has changed my life. I read the other reviews (from some time ago) and was so…read moredesperate for help that I decided to go...on the extremely remote option that I would finally get some help for my chronic pain. I've had 5 serious abdominal/lower back surgeries in the last 6 years. I work in hospitals (I'm a psych). I've spent $70,000 out of pocket for hospital co-pays, etc. (I know it doesn't seem real...until this story happens to you.) Our health care system is sick. As long as I stayed in it, I was going to continue to get sicker (and poorer.) Then last year I came here. I was desperate for pain relief in my lower back. DESPERATE. I'd already been through PT, etc. All of it. I was depressed because I really didn't think anyone could help me....and I doggedly kept trying to find help. I mean- it's my gig. I study medicine. I read clinical studies daily for work. But I could not find a way out. So I took the leap of faith. Dr. Chambers wasn't like the other doctors. He hugged me! He's said, "I'm glad you came in today." And he actually (really!!) means it! His approach is warm, beautiful, and *healing.* His approach is completely opposite of our medical system: you walk out better than when you came in. Period. My pain is not gone- but my spine was completely goofed up. The X rays alone are worth the visit (besides getting a wonderful break from our other feel-worse, get the bill later, system.) My spine had started to curve inward- like my spine was trying to protect the area that got continually assaulted through surgery. It is not a quick fix. But it is REAL. Through Dr. Chambers I got my life back. I started to hike again. I started to literally BREATHE again. I look forward to my appointments and bounce out when I'm done. (Surgeries took my bounce out.) But you know what the biggest thing was? All my surgeons left me with LESS (I traveled all over the nation because my case was so severe....I met "the good ones") Less body. Less vitality. A hell of a lot less money. And I was worse than I started. Dr. Chambers gives you what you need: someone to BELIEVE in you. To say, "it is good to see you!" and mean it (I almost cried writing that- it means so much when all you've been seen as is a walking broken pocketbook.) He's the only one - in the years of ultrasounds, CT Scans, MRIS, that took a picture of my spine- and said "here is is!" Remember- I'm clinical and cynical. I've been through it. If he was giving me a load of BS- I would know it. I am so glad I had the courage to try One More Time. Dr. Chambers changed my life. It's hard not to cry while I write this- I read the other reviews and went "yeah- it worked for them, but it never seems to work for me." I thought- if this actually works, I'll write a review- and then- wouldn't it be amazing?! To be on the other side and actually have HEALED? I couldn't imagine the possibility. It is here. You just have to be open to going in a different door. It's not a quick fix. It's not like our health system....and that is exactly why it works!! The focus is completely opposite- it's not money oriented or sickness oriented. It is pure health oriented. You'll feel it when you meet him. Trust that feeling. Be in good health. Dr. Chambers will help you get there. From the bottom of my soles and the bottom of my soul- thank you, Dr. Chambers. I'll be seeing you for life. Thank you for giving me my life back. I will be forever grateful I gave myself "just one more try."

He's very professional but makes you feel like a friend! From the very first consultation, it was evident that Peter's primary focus was on holistic healing, aiming not just to alleviate symptoms but to help your body learn to heal. I've had two completely different injuries in two years. Both which have had lasting effects on my capabilities to pursue my passions. Peter takes the time to listen attentively, ensuring a deep understanding of my unique health concerns. His delicate touch, precision, and vast knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine make him a true virtuoso in his field. His unwavering belief in the power of the mind-body connection, has encouraged me to embrace my own bodies capabilities. I'm so grateful to be getting back to the things that I love. Such a game changer to see the light at the end of the tunnel! If you are seeking a truly exceptional acupuncturist, look no further than Peter Voigt. He is a master of his craft, and a genuine force for positive change. Gratefully, Tina

I was skeptical that Peter could help me with my chronic stomach and colon problems, since traditional medical treatments had failed me. I was running out of options, so I decided to give him a try. After working with Peter, my precancerous colon polyps, and my chronic gastritis and stomach polyps have undergone a dramatic healing. This was verified by my gastroenterologist in my recent gastroscope and colonoscopy. Every year for the past 10 years I have had a colonoscopy and removal of anywhere from 7- 15 colon polyps. This year, after working with Peter, I had only one! Also, my stomach lining and the stomach polyps are completely healed after working with Peter. My gastroenterologist asked me what I had done differently this year to create such a remarkable change. Working with Peter was the only thing that I did differently. The tests don't lie. I also feel so much better. I use to have chronic stomach pain and nausea. That is now gone. I am also less fearful about having precancerous polyps in my colon. I am so grateful for Peter's exceptional expertise, relentless encouragement and genuinely compassionate care.

I am a grateful and repeat customer because of the professional, courteous and friendly attitude of all staff toward me as a patient, the PT's medical knowledge, their facility's cleanliness and comforting appearance, and most especially the diligence, care and focus they bring in first diagnosing an issue, next telling me what was damaged and then building a treatment regime specifically focused on the problem. For my back issues, this includes first carefully determining whether more serious bone or disc damage exists. Treatments consist of those done within their facility and just as or perhaps more importantly, specific exercises to be done at home. The exercises are illustrated as needed by PT demonstration, color handouts and written instructions. Moline and company are batting 1000 in my experience.
