Dr.ora Botwinick is not a doctor one would want as her/his doctor.In my experience with her,I felt judgement,discomfort,talked down to.She is not kind about people's situation,her dirty looks or "advice" which feels like you just got told ,scare me away from seeing a doctor I need a doctor for many tests I'm behind on now.I called a different office in another part of Portland.The return call I received I believed it was my new doctor I was telling what's wrong,why I needed to be seen.This doctor said she hadn't seen me since...I knew then it was her.As if I was directed to my provider.I had talked to this clinic about how bad my visit was with her and I requested a different doctor My chart report that she write painted me in a very bad light.it hurt my feelings and I disagreed.theres no way for me to get that off my first page .Very disappointed.havent been to the dr.since.i have been hospitalized for an extended period.i feel stuck.

If you are looking for a good therapist, consider contacting Dr. Ryan Parsons. He listens and gives you good advice. However, the people who run the front desk tend to be really rude and may see you as a threat instead of seeing as just another human being.

Terrible. I have private health insurance and I don't need to go to the county clinic. But this was very close to my house and they accepted Blue Cross insurance. At first I thought this was good. I went to Dr. Yeast and she was a very good provider. Starting late 2020 it all went downhill. I had to get some tests for a pre-surgery authorization in December 2020. The surgical center sent a list of tests that were needed to the North Portland Clinic. They performed a number of tests including an EKG which was normal. However, they did not do all the requested tests and failed to record the result of my EKG. So they requested me to come back in for the EKG and the additional tests that they failed to do the first time. Since they failed to record my EKG result they wanted me to take the same test again. I told them, I'm not paying for this test again. They said they would waive the fee. So I took the test again. This time the technician didn't bother to shave my chest hair and ended up getting a "slightly abonormal result" So they referred me to a cardiologist at Legacy Emmanuel. The EKG at Legacy Emmanuel was totally normal. So this was just extra time and effort just so I could get pre-authorized for surgery. I can't believe a medical office would lose records. I can understand it happening after some years. But this was literally a week later they couldn't find my EKG result. Also just because I took the test a week before, doesn't mean you shouldn't shave the patient before an EKG again. Also this location never answers a phone call and when I send an email, I MIGHT get a response a week later. But it has been as bad as getting a response 2 weeks later. So I don't trust this clinic with my health any longer and will be seeking a new provider.

I have been go in my here for nearly 3 years now. My toddler son and I have the same PCP, which has been a blessing since I'm still breastfeeding feeding as well as dealing with ongoing medical conditions that I'd be afraid had we had different doctors, medications and resources may have been overlooked. I have never had a terrible experience here as a result of the staff at this location. This is also my pharmacy, though the hours sometimes conflict with my schedule, I am always happy to see familiar faces and feeling comfortable to ask personal and intimate questions regarding my health or medications.
