This was the best experience I've ever had with an endocrinologist...ever! Dr. Harkens was so…read moreattentive, genuinely caring, and extremely efficient. As a Type 1 Diabetic for 30 years, I've had a lot of unimpressive Doctors. I left in happy tears. To hear a doctor say, I'll fight your insurance company, you will always be able to reach me, and yes let's get you what you need right now, was something I've never experienced in a doctor's office before. I know everyone will not always have the same experience as I did, but Dr. Harkens made me feel like I have someone on my side as I attempt to manage this very inconvenient disease.

I have been a patient of Doctor Neifing for about 18 years. In my opinion he is the best Doctor…read moreI've ever had. I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes around 2001. Sadly I couldn't get my A1C under control no matter how good my diet was or exercising. I exercised six days a week running about 35 miles a week, maybe more. My PCP at the time ridiculed me for being a flippant diabetic for not taking my diagnosis seriously. I asked her if she could send me to a diabetes doctor. News to me at the time there were Doctors called Endocrinologist. I made an appointment to see Doctor Neifing. What a great move on my part. Met with Doctor N and he listened to me. I explained that I was an active person running at least six days a week, eating as best as I could, but my A1C results were high. He seemed perplexed about my medical story. He tested me to find out that I was a type 1 insulin dependent diabetic. From that point forward my A1C began to get into control. I owe all this to Doctor Neifing. Getting a CGM (Continuous Glucose Meter) was a game changer. Doctor Neifing knows that diabetes is an expensive disease to keep controlled. He often gives his patients drug samples to offset costs. Assists with insulin copay cards to lower the financial burden for his patients. I can't say enough about his compassion. I'm worried that I will eventually lose him to retirement, but that is life. Thanks Doctor N for giving me an extended life! Now the Clinic. Yes it is a carousel of patients and they do get you in/out quickly, but isn't that health care in the present day? Sadly the answer is yes.

This place absolutely ruined my skin. I tried to go about it…read morethe right way and get a referral from my primary care to get my labs done, which tested low and get referred to an endocrinologist. But even with low numbers and being in my mid 30s they refused to see me. So I shopped around and found full potential. My interactions with staff and Dr were fine they tested me and immediately got me started on 200mg weekly injecting 2x per week. My labs came in and they were close to 1500! They kept me on this dose. Everything was fine for the first 5 or so months until my skin absolutely exploded with horrific cystic acne on my shoulders and is slowly spreading to my back and chest. I decided to explain this to my primary care and he took over my treatment immediately cutting my dose in half, I feel mentally or physically no difference being at 100mg weekly. But now I'm stuck seeing a dermatologist monthly, getting extra labs done for them while I'm taking a serious medication called accutane because of the reaction to high testosterone. So be advised they have you on a very hefty dose with very high on the scale numbers. I think going from 135ish-1450ish is completely inappropriate and is just asking for trouble.

Couple things here to remember coming from using HRT in Phoenix, Arizona. This clinic requires you…read moreto use their lab and does not allow you to use your medical insurance for lab work, which is completely against what I've ever known. While the clinic may not accept medical insurance, the laboratory you use will. So there is no reason they should be making money off of using their lab. $500 for the initial consult is a lot of money when you could be using your own insurance company to get your labs, Insurance doesn't care what doctor is ordering your labs as long as it's being ordered by one. Ladies, all you need is an initial consult with an nurse practitioner to run your labs at six weeks and 11 weeks to make sure your peeking the right point and your dosage is on point. Having your labs done every three months is pointless! Your body will adjust daily. This is a marketing ploy and a justification for their monthly fee! This business model is such bullshit. Once you get your baseline dosage set if your symptoms go away, you are good! Lab should only be done once a year at that point!

There aren't enough words to describe what an amazing person Dr. Renee is. I feel like I could tell her anything (and I usually do, lol). She's extremely knowledgeable about body structure and systems, and her approach to acupuncture is unique and very cool! She explains her thought process and approach to care, particularly from a Chinese medicine perspective, in such a way that I truly feel like we're partners in my health and wellness journey. I've learned so much about how my body works, and each visit is followed up with customized recommendations (example: foods that are particularly nourishing in areas I might be deficient, based on her observations of my pulse, etc.) The office at Blossom Clinic is small but cozy and inviting, with soft lighting, air filters, aromatherapy, etc. They use high-quality products (for example, I had cupping done today with organic Jojoba oil). They're located next to Whole Foods (on the left, and up the stairs, kind of hard to find--for me anyway), but very convenient for picking up some groceries before or after my visits. They do not accept insurance but do provide detailed bills that I can submit for reimbursement from my health plan. I have not met with any of the other practitioners, so I can't comment on them. Overall, an extremely pleasant and personalized experience that I highly recommend! Their practice seems to be mostly focused on fertility-related care, but they are also here for women at all stages of life.

Blossom Clinic has done wonders for me and my sister (who referred me). Both Liz and Renee are…read moreextremely talented and were there through every stage of my pregnancy. Customized my treatment to what I individually had going on and I feel eternally grateful that I found this place and these healing hands for me and my baby. I still remember Renee helping me move my baby out of breech and the treatment was so gentle and calming, I had my doubts, but I could feel my baby move and adjust during the appointment. It was WILD, beautiful and amazing.

It turned out that I had the test procedure done at Johns Hopkins, thanks to an introduction by a…read morefriend. It was done masterfully and though there are really excellent doctors at OSHU, this specialty department seems lacking on several levels, sad to say. The test results confirmed an endocrine problem and it was promptly treated by hormone therapy with a great outcome. Dr F most likely did me a favour by not wasting my time in her care, and I use the term "care" loosely. My blood pressure almost immediately dropped from 180/110 to a very normal range with a very reduced dosage of my former BP meds and it is no longer kidney damaging. I gave the kidney to my mother when I was in my early 20s, and ever since then I have found physicians to be especially attentive due to my status, with this sole exception.

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.

From the first call of inquiry, her receptionists were compassionate and helpful in getting me in at a time when my symptoms were dire and bleak. Dr. McKay was empathetic, caring and LISTENED to me, analyzing and assessing my needs when other providers and ND's had only skipped over in a rush and missed the things I needed most. The personal care I received from her and her assistants were top notch and thorough, and always with compassion and true concern. Thanks so much for helping me find the way out of my black health hole. Although there were scientific/holistic remedies applied, it was the caring aspect that really saved me.
