Tired of "white coat" docs throwing drugs at you and not listening, nor caring about anything other…read morethan their insurance billing and kick backs from "big pharma" reps? Then Dragonheart Family Health Care is for you. Dr. Hammitt-McDonald is a compassionate, caring, and competent naturopathic physician. She is never in a rush and always takes the time to listen and explore options with you. Skilled in Chinese Medicine, she has worked miracles for me in getting me off of many of the prescription meds and using natural treatments including acupuncture. I was such a skeptic about all of that before, but now I am a believer. Dr. Hammitt-McDonald is a beautiful soul that practices medicine because she wants to help people, not make outrageous fortunes. Her partner, Dr. Goldstein is a low force chiropractor who has the healing touch. His adjustments and advice have helped me immensely with my chronic pain. He is not a "back cracker" like some chiropractors, and is always mindful of your pain levels and limitations. BOTH doctors are wonderful people. They are awesome with children as well. They treat the whole body, so be ready to explore your lifestyle and be open to make some tough but helpful changes in diet and care for yourself. If you are seeking a quick fix via a pill, THIS IS NOT THE PLACE. Thankfully, we have docs like them here in the community, as so many are doing nothing but creating profits for pharmaceutical companies and creating addicts in our cities. I am always shocked at how many people take these meds and are given them like candy.....these meds will kill you in the long run if not taken as truly needed. There are alternatives, and there is hope. Dragonheart is a place to get both. Very relaxing office with a peaceful zen-like feel. Not your typical white walls, and drug poster place. The staff are very laid back, relaxed, and professional. No hubris is used here, just sound medical practice that dates back many centuries. I highly recommend Dragonheart Family Health as a wise alternative to the "doc-in-the-box" mentality and treatment that has taken over much of Western medicine.

I felt like I was on a conveyor belt......next.....next.....next..... I have a complicated dental history and attempted to explain my teeth. He decided he should do additional work that several other dentists and specialists had strongly advised against. He felt they were all being too conservative and I know he was being too reckless. Some procedures can cause horrible and permanent damage functionally and appearance wise. He is nearing retirement age and I don't think his heart is in this line of work. We have so many other options here on the North Coast. I advise finding another.

The office is warm, quiet, and welcoming, and Dr. Du Moulin made it easy to talk about my health history, asked good questions, took a lot of notes, and showed a lot of empathy which meant a lot. And of course going to a ND means you aren't rushed out the door in 10 minutes after sitting in a waiting room for a half hour past your appointment time like at many MD's - we had a full hour and she was super comprehensive and explained things well. Also kudos to Erin (support staff) who was very nice, super responsive, organized, and was able to get me in on a Saturday before the holidays kicked off. Highly recommend looking beyond Astoria and Seaside and coming to Manzanita to see Dr Du Moulin!!

There are two dentists here as well as hygienists. I was assigned to Aaron. He is as pleasant and gentle as they come, top notch in my book.

Office is nicely appointed with several stunning prints of local photographs on glass. Staff is great, billing accurate, good parking. Sadly, I believe they are at capacity and not accepting new patients, but always worth trying! I had to wait several months for my first appt.

I declined payment and left, never to return. My wife proceeded as she needed some immediate dental work and has been satisfied.
