    I've had my fair share of experiences with medical offices of all types. And while urgent cares…read morehave generally fallen into a mediocre category compared to other treatment centers, SwiftCare has set the new standard for all other urgent cares to live up to. The office is pristine, well-designed, and maintains reliable hours. The care, however, is what sets this place apart from any other. The staff, nurses, and physicians during my visit were so incredibly attentive, empathetic, and helpful. The service was truly unparalleled by any similar clinic that I have ever been to. Additionally, their pricing for out-of-pocket patients is reasonable, which rarely exists in the medical field at all in America. ZoomCare, a local competitor, charges at least twice as much for subpar care. If you're in need of urgent care, this is the place to receive it. Truly a five-star experience.

    The nurses assistant that took my payment,Jessie, got snarky with me when I asked about how…read moreexpensive " they were" compared with other clinics. He was all, I DIDN'T CHARGE YOU, I'm like okay your company overcharged me, but like my total bill was $480 I paid $270 because of my insurance. Jessie said," Your insurance is the reason it cost so much without insurance a walk in is $200. I was like , " well all this visit was for me was to get a refill on my thyroid medicine since the soonest I can get into my primary physician is in two months. Can't you do something?" He was like," We can't retroactively fix that." So NO, I DO NOT RECOMMEND THEM A TOTAL RIP OFF!

    I had surgery at Keiper Spine and I could not be more impressed with the quality of care, the…read moreprofessionalism of all of the staff and medical personnel, and the overall experience. I highly recommend Keiper Spine for anyone in need of help with back issues.

    I started going to Keiper Spine about 14 years ago with lower back pain, and for years, I would…read moreperiodically get cortisone injections in my spine that offered amazing relief. But about 5 years ago, the pain wasn't going away after the injection like it usually did, and in fact seemed to be going in a different direction. So, Dr. Keiper ordered an MRI of my left SI joint, and sure enough, that was a new problem. A year or two of successful cortisone injections fixed the problem - until it didn't. Dr. Keiper told me that there was a surgery he could perform that would probably relieve all of my pain, and I agreed to go forward with that plan. But my insurance, Blue Cross, denied me the surgery several times, claiming that it was not medically necessary. After the injections stopped working and surgery was going to be the only way for me to be free of almost constant pain while moving (On the 1 to 10 pain scale, I was between 6 and 8 the majority of my awake hours), which was severely impacting my quality of life. Even doing simple household chores like vacuuming, laundry, gardening, etc., was miserable. Finally, Blue Cross did approve the surgery, which was performed by Dr. Keiper, and the results have been amazing. For all of the years I have been seeing Dr Keiper and his other staff at Keiper Spine, I have always been impressed with the friendliness and professionalism from the front office to the nurses and medical assistants. I would highly recommend Dr. Keiper and his staff to anyone who is looking for relief from back pain. I think he is the best neurosurgeon in Oregon!

There's more money in several procedures than in one procedure.
