A friend of mine referred me to her as I was seeking a natural path and hormone replacement doctor. I feel as though I struck gold finding her! Not only has she thoughtfully supported me with hormone replacement but Dr.A listened to my concerns about chronic pain due to inflammation. She suggested a cutting edge prescription that has given me complete relief from pain since. She is open to all my questions and appears to be up on the latest clinical trials and options available out there. Dr. A goes above and beyond to help work through the complicated insurance system as well. My husband is now going to her! I highly recommend Dr. Alison Shultz if you're looking for a provider who is competent, curious and capable of working outside the western box!

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.

So kind of difficult to express concerns, dissatisfaction, or ask questions. Yes, I have used the app in the past. I have since replaced my phone (reset apps), have multiple apps from multiple providers, and honestly it's difficult to keep them all straight. Expecting me to only communicate through an app and never receiving even one phone call back from my voicemails is just more confirmation of my position. At no point was it explained to me that I will now have to send in paperwork to insurance myself. It seems like the front desk person could've easily expressed that to me, instead of just repeating "payment is due at time of service". I was also never given any notice about being able to keep you as my doctor, I was just sent to a new Dr without notice. Yes, I was recently finally prescribed HRT, after two separate rounds of trying botanicals (and expressing that they didn't work, which both sets of my labs supported), and demanding it in my last visit. I really do appreciate finally receiving a response, even though I had to go to this extreme to get it. I too am hurt by the lack of care and communication, as I have been a responsible long time patience. Also very disappointed that the response takes zero responsibility for poor basic office communication. I will be requesting my medical records and seeking care elsewhere.

She really has helped me. I am continually amazed at her knowledge of all aspects of western and naturopathic medicine and many other types of healing modalities. I will continue to see her on a regular basis. I also recommend her to my friends. She also does Telehealth or Zoom appointments.

I now meet with Dr. Dramov quarterly and really value his perspective and guidance on all medical issues. He and his office staff get to know people on a first name basis. I recently moved to the Phoenix area, and he has an office there as well. I highly recommend Dr. Dramov and Dramov Naturopathic.

I decided to go here after a good friend recommended Dr Dramov to me. My initial thoughts were…read morethat he was going to be some wacky wannabe doctor who just gave you some herbal supplements and sent you on your way. I was so wrong! My main reason for going was that I knew I had high cholesterol and didn't want to keep taking the medications I had been prescribed by my regular doctor...I was hoping to switch to some kind of supplement instead. When I arrived at the office, I waited no longer than 10 minutes and then Dr Dramov personally greeted me in the waiting room. He then sat down with me in his office and talked with me for a good 45 minutes about everything....health issues, dietary issues, etc. He decided I shold get a complete blood profile (not sure if thats what it is technically called). At my next appt 2 weeks later I went in to go over the report with him. Again, we sat for at least 45 minutes going over the report....something a regular doctor has never done with me. FYI....He prefers to treat people with supplements, but he is also able to prescribe. He decided my cholesterol was so high it was best that I stay on the medication I had been taking (Lipitor) and suggested some supplements to also take (Evening Primrose Oil). According to the report I was also deficient in B & D vitamins, so those were suggested also. His office stocks these supplements, but there is absolutely no pressure to purchase them from there. I did my research and ended up going back to his office to buy them anyway. I thought I might find them cheaper, but they were comparably priced so I just went back (figuring he is knowlegable about the manufacturers he choses to uses). He described to me how the body works and how what you eat can affect this or that, etc. He gave me suggestions about dietary changes and increasing my activity and told me to come back in 4 months to check everything and see if there is improvement. During the 4 months I did make an effort to change some of my diet (cut down on butter, stopped eating eggs). However, I also started eating a lot of cereal (the Quaker Oats cold cereal) and I didn't cut back on breads or pasta (2 of my favorite things). And I truly did not put much effort into exercising more (30 min a day was suggested). I really was feeling better in general. When I went back, my cholesterol improved a little (still not good though), but my triglycerides were sky high. He said that if I wasn't sitting in front of him, he would think that by looking at my blood report that I was an obese smoker & drinker (of which I am none of those....normal weight, work out about 3 times a week) Again, we talked about how the body processes everything you put into it etc. Also made it clear how that if I didn't get this under control asap that it could lead to diabetes, heart disease, etc. This really scared me. He gave me a few more supplements (sea kelp, fish oil) and a more rigid diet to follow for 8 weeks (basically very low carb...no pasta, bread or rice, cut back on all sugar). I go back in a few weeks and am really looking forward to it. I am so glad to have found all this out before it was too late. It might seem like its nothing major, but its huge! I don't think I would have found this out if I was going to a regular doctor....none of this testing was ever suggested to me by him. Dr Rob is knowledgable, friendly and truly cares about your well being. I have a huge amount of respect for him. Since going to him, I have met several other people who swear by him.
