  The doctor took time to explain and set my mind at ease. ..., Apr 28, 2010

Having an allergic reaction for the first time is a very scary experience. Dr. Mechanic took the time to listen and ask many questions about the incident and was able to answer all my questions. I felt very relieved talking to her and left the office knowing that the situation was under control. Her offices were easy to find and the staff were very kind. I was seen promptly at my appointed time. I would recommend Dr. Mechanic to friends, because she was easy to talk to, very knowledgeable and was able to set my mind at ease.

  BAD DOCTOR!! dont waste you time with this lady. shes nuts!..., Jan 26, 2012

Worse doctor I have ever seen.. multnomah county should be EXTREMELY ashamed. She has no idea what it takes to be an intelligent and outstanding doctor. She needs to stand back and ask herself if its more helpful to do more bad then good. Very sad in
  My visit to Dr Jankelowitz's office was a very pleasant experience..., Jan 22, 2012

Patient, caring, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to have as my doctor. Office staff were wonderful. Wait was short. Dr J spent time talking to me and my family. He answered all my questions and never seemed to rush me.
  She Saved My Life and Listens to What I Have to Say..., Jan 14, 2012

Dr. Gamble has been my primary care physician for 2 years now. After countless doctors office's where the wait time was unbearable and the care limiting and impersonal I have finally found a doctor who listens. Dr. Gamble spent time listening to me, not just about my medical concerns, but to all the pieces that make up the puzzle to a healthy mind, body and soul. I finally felt a long awaited validation! Dr. Gamble saved my life. She discovered a disease that had gone unnoticed in me and brought me back to life through her concierge vision of medicine. I now feel healthier then ever. Having Dr. Gamble as my physician has changed the way I see my future, it is never to late to be healthy and learn about what makes your body work best. I will forever be grateful to have a Doctor who cares as much as she does.
  Nice doctor with a heavy work load that causes her to make mistakes...., Dec 13, 2011

Dr. Hoing is very pleasent to talk to, however her case load and inability to remember or take detailed notes affects her performance as a doctor. She has made repeated mistakes lately and then lied to try to save face. So far the mistakes have cost my family financialy. We left her practice as we belive she can make a mistake at anytime that will cost us our health and well being.
  Disappointed with Dr. Brian S. Edkin's abandonment of care after so many mistakes..., Sep 23, 2011

Dr. Edkin performed 2 hip implants on my wife using the DePuy ASR implants. He did such a poor job on both that my wife never recovered from crippling pain, then he informed her that both of her implants had been recalled due to a high failure rate and poisoning from chromium and cobalt. He offered no apology, no remedy, and no advice. As soon as he felt she became a liability to his practice he basically dropped her. It took him 8 months after informing her of the implant recall and that she could be in danger of chromium and cobalt poisoning, to do a blood test for it and he found her metal levels were elevated. She has had these implants in her body for over 2 years. Aside from a test for infection he ran because of her constant crippling pain he basically told her “just give it time”. He never did the appropriate testing to discover her true condition. So we had to find another specialist and we did. They immediately ordered MRI, Bone Scan and Hip aspirations to determine her true condition, after which they replaced both implants correcting Dr. Edkin’s work. They found and removed significant damage of her soft tissue from chromium and cobalt ions. If we had continued to trust Dr. Edkin that damage would have only been getting worse, and who knows how long he would have let it go?
