Before starting the program, my base weight of 158 lbs had been steadily climbing from 135 lbs for years. I know everybody is different, but I am still so surprised how easy it was to feel so much better, energized, motivated, and healthier with some meditation, daily walks, and healthy eating. Please do this for yourself!!!!! And your loved ones too. This functional medicine program is the basis for EVERYONE'S health.

Not only will they work with you on general issues, they are so thoughtful, patient and kind that they'll take the time to get to the bottom of specific issues, too. Doctor Pickworth is the best doctor I've ever had the privilege of seeing. She is authentically compassionate, understanding and takes time to help you fully understand, think through solutions, and truly work with you, where you're at. I was able to address an issue under her care almost immediately after having worked (and failed) for years under the care of another doctor. So grateful that I found this clinic. All of the staff are so wonderful and cheery, and like I said, Pickworth is the best. Seriously, haven't ever thought I could be excited about doctor's appointments, but here we are. Thank you to the team at NW Integrative. Y'all ROCK.

I am new to the whole holistic healing stuff but I went into this with an open mind…read more I was happy to find that my insurer, Kaiser, extended coverage for alternative medicine and that my co-pay would only be $10. Okey dokey...let's try this! 8 Hearts is conveniently located in the Macadams area in the Water Tower complex. Easy breezy parking and a very nice location. It took a few weeks for my initial appointment but it was worth the wait. I arrived and briefly met Dr. Natasha and then Emily. I completed a in depth questionnaire about my health status and then Emily took me in to her relaxing, comfortable space. Emily took the time to get to know me, which I appreciated. We focused on the most pressing issues, my problematic shoulder specifically. My first acupuncture focused on my shoulder but the insertion of the needles was all over my body. I admit, I was fascinated about how the different pressure points correlated to different body parts. I had done my homework and knew that it would take several visits before I would really know if it was making a difference. Appointment one. I was surprised that the needles really didn't hurt. No biggie. Appointment two? Cupping. Yeah, Google "cupping". It friggin involves fire. Maybe an over reaction...really just a flame. Emily uses it to take the air out of the cup and then applies the cup to whatever body part you're having issues with. I'm not going to lie. It hurt like a mother and creates some dark bruises. But, with that being said, I LOVE IT! During the process, the cups draw up old blood and lymph. If it hurt too much, Emily would lessen the suction. I have been to Eight Hearts six times or so. I am now a believer and look forward to my appointments. I am on a three week schedule now and the time between appointments will continue to grow. I'm a fan. They, and especially Emily, rock.

I can't believe it's taken me this long to write a review for the wonderful team at Mississippi…read moreHealth Center. Dr. Justin Ilsley has been my PCP for at least 12, maybe 14 years, and I feel genuinely lucky that I found this place so many years ago. Having a naturopath as a PCP works beautifully for me; they treat the whole body, can call in prescriptions if appropriate and if something falls outside their scope I see a specialist. That said, MHC offers a remarkable range of services in-house: naturopathy, acupuncture, herbal therapies, bodywork treatments (focused massage, cupping, kinesiotape), IV treatments (chelation and vitamin supplements), and on-site blood draws for labs. And that's only about half of what they offer. It took me a long time to come around to acupuncture, but I'm a believer now. It's subtle, it treats the whole body, and it may take a couple of visits, but at the very least, you'll leave the calm, peaceful session feeling deeply relaxed and genuinely cared for. More often than not, whatever was bothering you has quietly resolved itself. Of course there's no pressure if that's not your kind of thing. If you're someone who's serious about a holistic approach to your health and not just masking symptoms with a pill, this place is a wonderful fit. It doesn't feel like a cold, clinical doctor's office. You feel like you are entering a warm, supportive, caring, natural environment when you walk through the doors. They take the time to get to know you and understand what's happening in your life, and offer treatments that reflect that. I also really like that they are invested in the community and getting to know their neighbors by occasionally offering fun workshops. Dr. Sarah Jones is a newer addition to the team and every bit as knowledgeable and nurturing as Justin and Beth. And while I haven't worked directly with Beth, I've heard nothing but high praise from the community for her talents and specialized offerings. Even the folks at the front desk staff have a warmth about them. These are some of the kindest people I know, and this is a genuinely special place.

As a person of color who does not curse or call people names, I can honestly say that this health…read morecenter has failed me in regards to not being able to show empathy enough to provide support after visiting the emergency room years apart for different needs. I had to beg and wait in tears for crutches or a walker when the disk in my back became extremely swollen impacting my entire body causing extreme cramping, loosing feeling in my legs and severe knee and hip pain. I lost full motion of my joint between my leg and my pelvis. Terrible Terrible pain. I had to scoot around the house using a box. Nothing worked! Then when I had my needs neglected at Legacy in N Portland; I was forced to walk around no car in all with a foreign sharp object lodged 1 inch deep in my foot of which no one could find including a Legacy foot specialist. I limped to the store, to my child's school, to the park, and everywhere else. I had to beg for a prescription of pain killers which was not given by Legacy until I seen the specialist days later with the object still in my foot. I prefer herbal remedies over prescriptions, but I still needed the prescription. I spent the entire day calling around trying to advocate for myself the following day after being released from the emergency room. When I called I explained everything to Mississippi Health. Mind you I was never given the option to speak or arrange a time to consult my physician. Instead, I was told right off the back after explaining the horrible experience with legacy that a referral to outpatient surgery "is out of Mississippi Health Center's jurisdiction". I told them the physical in the emergency department required that I follow up with my primary. Mind you Legacy never reviewed my contacts or demographics with me. Legacy never sent over my treatment information either, which I explained. I was given podiatrist options to call and make appointments with without a referral. I ended up waiting 4 days to get the foreign object removed which was very risky and dangerous. Legacy had lied about issuing crutched to me as well. I informed Mississippi about this as well. I was told by Mississippi health that I would get call back. I did not get a call back but ended up calling and told them that they were cruel for not helping me. I was sad! They hung up on me. So its easy to tone police a person of color who is tired, scared, and desperate for services. This is a common form of micro aggression that is normalized and more than often excused. I ended up getting surgery at a different hospital after doing everything on my own. The post op appointment with Legacy consisted of a Podiatrist assistant looking at my foot for a quick minute, changing the dressing after I asked him to, then telling me the appointment was done without the Podiatrist(the expert) coming in to complete the examination and answer questions. To make matters worse, I was sent paperwork to find another provider by Mississippi Health. Even though I have already requested assistance with finding a new provider twice in the last year or so including the following day after my most recent emergency room visit. *** If you are a person of color be aware.*** I was also sent pre-surgery paperwork from legacy requesting a signature that several staff witnessed me signing. I have a picture of one (legacy does not know that I took a picture). They confiscated my form that listed my refusal to consent to vaccinations through biologics which they can place in IV's. Moving forward: I did not know that my younger sister use to be a member of Mississippi until she told me. She said she had been misdiagnosed for years until she switched providers. She lives in another state now. I spent years receiving guesstimates about conditions and had to beg for testing after doing online research and speaking with others regarding conditions. Had I not known the test names, I would not have been offered them. Medical discrimination is hardwired in policy, testing, and procedure and for this reason health care disparities exist across the board. The whole experience has been a gaslight for simple obvious needs that no one regardless of who they are or what color of skin they have should have to beg for. I am well informed and conscious about my health and I myself have worked with vulnerable populations for over 20 years serving the community so I am not anything close to how I have been treated.
