Laurence Eckman came into my life at a time when I needed his perspective and approach to patient…read morecare more than words could ever portray. He helped me pivot in such a way that I was able to finish naturopathic medical school despite many nearly insurmountable, disability obstacles. As a naturopathic student, I gave it my all to do things naturally and made huge, necessary strides, but it wasn't until Laurence planted the seed that medication is natural for the biochemistry of the ADHD brain, that my life started to change. He reassured me that there is no shame in taking medication in the pursuit of an equal chance at accomplishing my dream of gaining knowledge and sharing it with others. In a sentence: Laurence gets it. My grades immediately improved, quite drastically. Not only was I able to advocate for myself and others to receive academic accommodations; but I was also finally able to integrate medical knowledge and apply it in the structured, linear format of school and work. All without losing my creativity and outside the box thinking, per our therapy sessions together. The capacity I held for managing my daily activities and work-life balance also benefited from the increase in executive function, especially since I was able to start living the naturopathic philosophy and see real healing for the first time. In addition, the newfound engagement with my skills in the clinic re-inspired my motivation to keep fighting the good fight at medical school, paving the way for a more accepting future in education as well as medicine. 10/10 recommend the support of Laurence on your journey towards acceptance and healing while accomplishing your dreams. I will carry many of his words of wisdom and life hacks with me onward as both a patient and a doctor. Laurence always went above and beyond to ensure my continuity of care, was reliable, efficient, understanding, empathetic, honest, and always willing to go to bat for us [patients]! This kind of integrity is rare these days. Laurence, I truly hope our paths cross again one day! Cheers, Lianne Aglietti, ND.

I had to immediately come on here and leave a review, because I just got off the phone with…read moreLaurence Eckman and I'm still in shock, and a review online is the least I can do for this kind soul. My phone rang at 7:00pm and I was surprised to hear from him this evening after leaving a voicemail only a day ago. We were on the phone for 45 minutes, and in that time he asked me all about myself, my struggles with adhd symptoms, my past, and about his philosophy in therapy and medication..what type of approach he has for treatments. He listened carefully and intently to everything I said & he had such great and helpful things to say. He's not open for new patients, but he's looking for me and gave me a bunch of recommendations for amazing helpful books and websites. I have my bs in social sciences and I know how much that costs...and I used to work for doctors and I know how much their time costs...it's all very expensive, so for him to call me and generously gift me 45 minutes of his time & knowledge is just so invaluable I couldn't say thank you enough. If anyone reading this struggles with mental health issues like I do, you know why this is so important & why I am taking the time to write this. It can feel so hard to find good care, but what I experienced today in just less than an hour proves that there are great providers out there who love what they do & exist in this profession to truly help people.

He presented himself as a psychotherapist, but is actually a social worker. When a traumatic memory triggered me during a session, Dave ended the session exactly at the 55 minute point, and I spent the next 4 days in deep pain. Dave was unavailable to help clear the issue with me, and didn't have any reserves of empathy or time. As to the faux-EMDR, I didn't find that moving my eyes robotically back and forth was able to shift any core issues, or maybe Dave just didn't articulate how it was helping. I didn't FEEL helped, but I paid for it. After I lost my medical insurance, and he went above and beyond to collect a $100 fee for missing a single appointment, which he'd failed to process on time under my insurance. So I came to understand what really motivates him, professionally. I will continue to tell everyone who asks, and maybe even those who don't, just how I experienced his professional conduct. It's weak and aspirational, and has no apparent substance or integrity.

I gave my CC# to my Therapist at to the Billing Lady and both agreed to run my card monthly for whatever I owed, and I was ok with that. I have no problem paying my bills. Once Western became Lifestance something happened and this was no longer happening, and I also was switched to getting electronic statements and had no idea that I owed money, and wasn't aware that my card wasn't being ran. I finally found out I owed $300, and agreed to pay $50 a month which the billing office said was ok. I paid for a couple months and then just paid off the balance December 6th. January 21st I get a notice that my account is in collections. Huh? How can a fully paid off account be in collections?? I have the receipts from Western and my Bank to show I paid the balance in full. It seems that there is a lot of communication break down at this place. This doesn't surprise me at all. I worked here a few years ago, and it was horrible. Western is more about making profits that helping people. The Therapist and Psychologists are great, but the old owners Darryl Quick and his wife Sylwia are all just wanting to make money, they don't care about the helping people- anyone who's ever worked there knows this. Anyway, back to my issue... I plan on making a complain with BBB because this is nonsense, I also never got any sort of letter or calls, about this either. I plan of fighting this.

I have emailed the office 6 times and left 5 voicemails requesting calls or emails back. Instead, they text saying that it will be sent to the account manager. The account manager has yet to follow up with me, but has had no problem adding late fees to my bill. When Dr. Shay remembers to follow up with previous providers and complete paperwork, he is a very friendly and helpful doctor, but he's very inconsistent with those practical parts of medicine. I ultimately changed providers due to lack of follow-up and their new implementation of a required subscription for primary care patients.

This is my first Yelp review, and I hope it will help other Portlanders avoid what I've experienced…read morewith this provider. While he is capable of a friendly bedside manner, his host of administrative issues and ethically questionable billing practices negatively impacted me--and my health. I would advise others to seek another primary care provider. I scheduled a wellness visit with Shay (Dr. Hosseinion's first name) online a year ago after moving to Portland. During this first visit, we talked through my medical history and he also refilled two existing prescriptions from my prior MD. No physical exam beyond listening to heart/lungs. He wrote me a letter for my employer stating that he had seen me "for an annual wellness visit." Finally, he ordered a single blood test; I declined the standard panel. After the appointment, he billed my insurance company for $390. I wrote to ask about this--my last handful of wellness exams/physicals were covered at 100%--and he told me the care I received was defined as a "problem visit," offering to see me for a second visit to use the wellness exam benefit. I spoke with my insurance company, who confirmed the visit should have been billed as a wellness appointment plus an additional code for extra services. I contacted Shay's offsite billing office to request this change. I was willing to pay for the appointment, but believed it was billed improperly, resulting in an unfairly high balance left to me. It took one year of calls every month or two to get a response: No, he will not change the billing to include the wellness code or compromise on the balance. Why did it take so long to get a response? Per the billing office rep: "There's nothing we could do. We're not in his office. He's very hard to reach." In the meantime, I decided not to return for a second "wellness" visit, as Shay suggested, after my insurance company told me that getting lab results but billing for a wellness visit would be fraudulent. Instead, I waited a month, then requested a copy of my lab results three times in December. And again on Jan 4th. And again on Jan 10th. Finally, I called the lab, where a tech assured me the results were delivered to Shay in late November, less than 24 hours after the test. I sent Shay an email expressing my dismay at the wait; he did not apologize, but said they'd mail me a copy. I waited another couple weeks. When it didn't arrive, an assistant told me it was lost in the mail. I finally went to the office in person and got a paper copy. In the midst of this, the billing office told me part of the reason I wasn't receiving an invoice was because they had the wrong address on file for me - received from Shay's office (which had a copy of my driver's license). In any case, the labs showed a treatable medical issue -- something I would have liked to have known about ASAP. All told, it took me about two months to get that piece of paper. About six months later, and some eight months after the initial appointment, I got an email from Shay. He said he had my lab results and asked me to schedule an appointment. He said he found a problem in them. I would have appreciated more timely, accurate and honest communication from this physician and his assistant regarding billing and my lab results. I could have been informed during my visit that the wellness billing code would not be used in any way (using it plus another code could have, per the insurance company, mitigated some of the cost). Because such communication was lacking (and because this doctor wrote a letter to the opposite effect), I think some compromise on the final balance due would have been fair. Shay had paperwork explaining that refilling prescriptions could result in additional billing, but I could not have predicted that the entire visit would be coded to the maximum possible reimbursement. I think it is unfair to expect lay people to have this level of knowledge, particularly as there is a variance among providers in billing practices for these visits. At the least, I would have expected timely communication of my lab result. I would have begun taking a needed supplement months earlier if I had seen my lab results, and would have appreciated a simple acknowledgement that my health was comprised when I didn't receive it. For what it's worth, I paid my bill in full before submitting this review, and within days of hearing back from the billing office.

He will take the time to review your medical information and is sure you understand it. He will never rush you out, or make you feel he's in a hurry or too busy to spend time with you.

He won't hesitate to point out how your life decisions effect the way your body (and your mind; they are kinda connected) feel. His office is small, friendly and very welcoming. It's located on Scholls Ferry Road. If you're even remotely near that area, and looking for a Primary Care Physician, I whole-heartedly recommend you have visit with Dr. McBride and his team.

Typically I just visit for my annual physical but I'm a big fan, yes he can be brusque (as another reviewer put it) but I find it necessary.
