I do not recommend Dr. Susan Andersen. I saw her for nearly 4 years and spent a lot of money on…read morevarious healing modalities only to learn that she missed the underlying cause of my physical symptoms. All it would have taken is a simple blood test and a logical mind. After all those years (and all that money) I went to another Doctor of Naturopathy who, after hearing my story of symptoms and struggle, doing a full exam (which Dr. Andersen never did), and running a simple blood test, I am undergoing treatment for Lyme Disease and it seems to be helping. Dr. Andersen was not pleased that I decided to see another practitioner and refused to give me a copy of my medical records, though I offered to pay for them. I called and left messages. I spoke to her personally. I sent several emails. And still did not receive a copy of my records that are my legal right to have. I sent a certified letter in the mail only to have her refuse to sign for it. Next, I am going to have to hire an attorney just to get my records. This is horrible and unprofessional and suspicious. I've sense talked to others in Newport, Oregon who have attempted to use her for their medical care, but quickly (unlike me) learned that she is manipulative and dishonest, and really knows very little about the healing modalities she recommends. I wish I had realized this about her, before, but I was in such a vulnerable, fragile state due to my chronic condition. I put too much trust in her, did not listen to my suspicions, and wasted several years and a lot of money.

Started for my shin splints... continued for my sanity! :-)…read more It's funny how things work sometimes. My initial visit to Mary Jo was prompted by a HUGE amount of frustration associated with not being able to sort out some running-related issues. As a non-competitive/recreational runner I've dealt with shin splints on and off for the past 20+ years. I've had X-rays taken, dyes injected, and MRI's... all to no avail. And when a well-respected sports medicine MD in Eugene (a truly nice gent that has worked with top-shelf athletes) told me, "Not everyone is cut out to be a runner", the frustration meter was pegged well to the right side of the scale. Having never been to an acupuncturist, it was with a sense of "I'm-not-certain-what-else-to-try?" that I made my initial appointment with Mary Jo. For anyone else wondering whether (or not) acupuncture might work for them, I can't say enough good things about my experience with Classical Five Elements Acupuncture! I actually, only half-jokingly, tell people that it put me on a different path. As a then-stressed out small business owner, the awareness I gained from working with Mary Jo added a certain sense of perspective that I had long ago lost, or maybe never even really had. It really was that big of a deal for me! As for how it all worked, during my initial visit we discussed not only what it was that I wanted to get out of the process, but what the process would likely be able to do for me. To say that Mary Jo was exceedingly professional, honest, upfront, straightforward and thorough would be a total understatement. What I wasn't expecting, but soon learned to appreciate, was that her interests extended beyond just what was going on with my running, but also included a more holistic assessment as well. And how did things work out? Physically, the shin splint issues started improving after just a couple of sessions. But what I would have never guessed (not in a million years) was that the overall process (and the way that Mary Jo practices it) would provide something even more important: the sense of "balance" needed for me to recognize, and then respect, what my body was telling me. For the first time in my life I started to pay attention when things hurt enough that running hard wasn't just going to be a silly idea that day, but very likely a stupid one as well. (At the time, I was one of those runners that would hobble before I'd stop; and simply push through the pain... in spite of knowing that there would be absolute hell to pay once I was done and the endorphins dissipated.) What surprised me even more was that as my shins started to responded to the treatments, so too did my psyche. I started taking the time to listen. I felt better. I was less stressed. And, I was just happy to be running healthy... and not so disappointed on those days when I couldn't run hard. Fast forward to today (which is a couple of years since my initial visit) and I'm happy to report that the shin splint issues were totally resolved: totally! And even though I'm older (50-ish), I'm now logging more (and faster) miles than when I first started down this path. Plus, all of that groundwork that Mary Jo provided in terms of being aware of, and working on, my sense of "balance" and "wellness" and "connectedness" still serve me well. Very well indeed! Thanks Mary Jo!

The first time I came in was for an initial assessment. In which I was not fully aware of the minimal strength or flexability I had in certain areas in my body after the car accident. The services I received were adjustments by the chiropractor, spinal hygiene therapy (included exercises to gain my strength and to continue strengthening my body), muscle stimulation(light electrical pulses that are transmitted to specific areas of the body through electrodes placed on the skin) and a two massages. All of the preceding services that I received helped me gain the flexability , strength and to continue maintaining good spinal hygiene. I was very pleased with the Chiropractor's honesty and answering every question I had for him. He did an amazing job with the adjustments which I never thought would help but they sure did. The lady who taught me the exercises and was my spinal hygiene coach made sure to push me to my full potential. The lady who did the massages did an amazing job.

I visited a family friend who was recovering from hip surgery at Samaratin Pacific Communities…read moreHospital this weekend and I feel compelled to share my observations of the facility, as well as the staff I encountered today. There are unfortunately many hospitals in the region that are underfunded and in desperate need of repair. Although originally built in 1952, Samaratin has been extensively upgraded in recent years. Every segment of the facility I observed today appeared to be clean, inviting and well-functioning. Signage was clear and informative, security checkpoints were effective, and the gorgeous views of the ocean throughout the building were incomparable. My friend's private room was clean and boasted a large television, a recliner, and sofa that pulls out into a bed, expansive views of the coastline, and a gigantic bathroom with a roll in shower, a refrigerator, and a large sliding door that accomodates almost any form of mobility aids and ambulation devices. I'm so happy my friend had such a comfortable room to recuperate in. Most importantly, during the three hours I spent visiting my friend, every staff member I encountered was friendly and helpful. If I were to need a hospital while visiting the Oregon coast, I would be very lucky to be admitted to Samaratin Pacific Communities Hospital. This place is great!
