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.

After several underwhelming experiences with traditional (Western) doctors, I thought I'd try a…read moremore holistic approach and my insurance company referred me to Grain Integrative Health. Overall, my experience has been fairly positive, but there are definitely some improvements that can be made on the administrative side here to improve the clinic. I like my doctor and believe that she has my best interests in mind, and I enjoy my appointments with her. I really appreciate that they have an online portal for scheduling appointments and messaging, and that they offer evening hours for those of us who work a standard office schedule. However, I don't think I've been seen on time once since being a patient at this clinic for several months now. Granted, I've been tardy a few times as well, but the majority of the time I've been no more than 5 minutes late. On average, I then spend about 15-20 minutes waiting to be seen. My doctor can also be slow with returning messages and uploading the visit notes to the patient portal, which leads me to believe that the providers here have stretched themselves too thin with patients. I understand the desire to take on as many patients as possible (and to maximize profits, sure) but when your patient load impacts your current patients' experience at the clinic, perhaps it's time to reassess things? Extend the appointment length and schedule in time to work on patient notes and referrals. Our time is important too. I had an incident recently when I was scheduled for a blood draw at the clinic, and I was ill that day and unable to make it. I called the office twice, and left two voicemails as no one picked up either time. I asked for a call back and a referral to a diagnostic clinic for the draw instead. No one ever returned my message and I had to reach out to my doctor several days later, informing her that I hadn't been able to make it and I needed that referral. No idea what happened there, but checking voicemails and returning messages should be standard procedure at a medical office. Additionally, I do wish the doctors would be a little more cost-conscious when it comes to suggesting procedures and supplements. Naturopathic and holistic care isn't always covered by insurance, and not everyone can afford to pay out of pocket for supplemental care. My doctor once recommended I take a supplement for three days prior to a blood test that cost $50. $50 for a supplement I'd take for three days! I care about my health, but I don't have limitless resources to spend on healthcare. Overall, I do like my doctor and the clinic. With some improvements to make the entire experience more patient-centric, I really feel that it could be someplace amazing.

This is my first Yelp review, and I hope it will help other Portlanders avoid what I've experienced…read morewith this provider. While he is capable of a friendly bedside manner, his host of administrative issues and ethically questionable billing practices negatively impacted me--and my health. I would advise others to seek another primary care provider. I scheduled a wellness visit with Shay (Dr. Hosseinion's first name) online a year ago after moving to Portland. During this first visit, we talked through my medical history and he also refilled two existing prescriptions from my prior MD. No physical exam beyond listening to heart/lungs. He wrote me a letter for my employer stating that he had seen me "for an annual wellness visit." Finally, he ordered a single blood test; I declined the standard panel. After the appointment, he billed my insurance company for $390. I wrote to ask about this--my last handful of wellness exams/physicals were covered at 100%--and he told me the care I received was defined as a "problem visit," offering to see me for a second visit to use the wellness exam benefit. I spoke with my insurance company, who confirmed the visit should have been billed as a wellness appointment plus an additional code for extra services. I contacted Shay's offsite billing office to request this change. I was willing to pay for the appointment, but believed it was billed improperly, resulting in an unfairly high balance left to me. It took one year of calls every month or two to get a response: No, he will not change the billing to include the wellness code or compromise on the balance. Why did it take so long to get a response? Per the billing office rep: "There's nothing we could do. We're not in his office. He's very hard to reach." In the meantime, I decided not to return for a second "wellness" visit, as Shay suggested, after my insurance company told me that getting lab results but billing for a wellness visit would be fraudulent. Instead, I waited a month, then requested a copy of my lab results three times in December. And again on Jan 4th. And again on Jan 10th. Finally, I called the lab, where a tech assured me the results were delivered to Shay in late November, less than 24 hours after the test. I sent Shay an email expressing my dismay at the wait; he did not apologize, but said they'd mail me a copy. I waited another couple weeks. When it didn't arrive, an assistant told me it was lost in the mail. I finally went to the office in person and got a paper copy. In the midst of this, the billing office told me part of the reason I wasn't receiving an invoice was because they had the wrong address on file for me - received from Shay's office (which had a copy of my driver's license). In any case, the labs showed a treatable medical issue -- something I would have liked to have known about ASAP. All told, it took me about two months to get that piece of paper. About six months later, and some eight months after the initial appointment, I got an email from Shay. He said he had my lab results and asked me to schedule an appointment. He said he found a problem in them. I would have appreciated more timely, accurate and honest communication from this physician and his assistant regarding billing and my lab results. I could have been informed during my visit that the wellness billing code would not be used in any way (using it plus another code could have, per the insurance company, mitigated some of the cost). Because such communication was lacking (and because this doctor wrote a letter to the opposite effect), I think some compromise on the final balance due would have been fair. Shay had paperwork explaining that refilling prescriptions could result in additional billing, but I could not have predicted that the entire visit would be coded to the maximum possible reimbursement. I think it is unfair to expect lay people to have this level of knowledge, particularly as there is a variance among providers in billing practices for these visits. At the least, I would have expected timely communication of my lab result. I would have begun taking a needed supplement months earlier if I had seen my lab results, and would have appreciated a simple acknowledgement that my health was comprised when I didn't receive it. For what it's worth, I paid my bill in full before submitting this review, and within days of hearing back from the billing office.

I had a recent visit with Dr. Shay and was reminded of the many reasons why I have stayed with him…read moreas my primary doctor for all these years--his fair assessment of my complaints ( physically, emotionally) and what is best needed for them, which may not be what one might expect. I go to a doctor to tell me things that I am not able to know without their help! But sometimes, it's about validating what I already know is true: When I wanted a prescription for a UTI, he reminded me that I already knew exactly what to do ( I am an herbalist)---and I confessed I was worried that I wouldn't be able to completely remedy it before traveling. SO he agreed to give me a prescription for an antibiotic for peace of mind, and guess what? It worked. I didn't need the antibiotics ultimately, but having his support helped me stay on the herbs and get better. As demonstrated in the above example, I have always felt that he listens very well to my concerns about any aspect of our visit, and modifies his approach if its appropriate, in regards to my feedback. The result is a feeling of a real collaborative partnership in my sense of health, my sense of well-being. He runs a unique, very small business, and is a unique thinker-healer-doctor-- which creates a different feel than a "typical" doctors office ( like him rolling up on his skateboard for our appointment! The best start to a visit!) but, despite some of the home-spun, DIY qualities, it has never lacked the overall professionalism of getting through all the steps of an appointment: From setting up appointment times, reminding, interpreting lab results, making decisions about what's next or referrals, paying co-pays and billing insurance---all has gone smoothly, and faster and less hassle/issues than I have had with any other medical office. He even was able to mail a prescription to me when I was far away from Portland, and needing his help---and FAST!

I can't sing Elizabeth's praises enough! I first went in for a Thai bodywork session a few months…read moreago just to see what is was about. The space itself was super inviting. Located in The People's Yoga, the studio is warm and relaxing and both the atmosphere and Elizabeth emanate good vibes. My urban lifestyle has me walking all around town and I generally feel pretty good physically, but hunching over a desk eight hours a day certainly takes its toll. This session helped alleviate that tension. Thai bodywork is done on a mat on the floor and focuses on the whole body and how parts of your body function collectively. It's a bit intimate in the positions, but Elizabeth made sure I was comfortable and that no muscle was being over-stretched. Plus, you get to stay clothed. The hot herbal compresses were an extra treat for my muscles. I left feeling loose and limber as if I had stretched through a yoga session myself (without having to put forth effort). A few days after, I was hit by a vehicle as a pedestrian. Both chiropractors I saw said I was fortunate to have received the bodywork when I did because my relaxed muscles saved me from sustaining more injury than I otherwise would've. For treatment, I went straight back to Elizabeth. Elizabeth's bodywork helped me heal from this accident - targeting specific pain points related to the injury and helping me get back to feeling like myself again. In truth, the Thai bodywork seemed to do more than the chiropractic sessions in terms of feeling noticeable improvement afterwards. Whether you're looking to target specific pain spots or just want to continue feeling your physical best, I highly recommend Elizabeth's bodywork! A true pleasure!

I fervently believe finding Vanessa is part of why we are where we are in our lives.
