The Portland Clinic – Beaverton

I think Dr. Chitwood is great but that’s probably because I’m not looking for pain meds.

Greatest medical care in Portland, every thing under one roof so to speak. Your PC, to Labs, to PT, to X-​Ray. And they take most health insurances including Tri Care. I have been w/​them for about 15 years.

I’ve had the most horrible experience with one of Dr. Griffith (primary) and Dr. Chitwood’s assisting nurses. I saw Dr. Chitwood for severe back pains on 24^th to which at that time he referred me out to a physical therapist and a chiropractic however after that appointment I had severe muscle spasms that were so bad that I had to go to Tuality emergency (where I was sent me home with precription of vicodine) and 2 shots in the buttox. Medicating I felt was not the solution to the spasms but I have put my trust into doctors to know what to do.
I then went to urgent care because I could get an appointment to see doctor Chitwood unit 2 weeks out (frustrating). There was nothing relieving the spasm. I’ve iced and heat my back. I’ve been crying, wet the bed, and numbness now and yet no one seems to want to help me with my pain. When speaking to the nurse yesterday she was very concerned but today the nurse I dealt with was rude. I’m not lying when I described the pain as f***king pain is unbearable how does one sit and wait for an appointment when you already know the doctor won’t do anything? I just saw him. Having to pay another $ 35 co-​pay was something I didn’t want to do after seeing him a few days ago. I was asking the nurse assistant if the doctor could refer me out to a pain management doctor. She said they don’t do that when it’s pain tht is chronic rather they would if it was from a car accident. I was looking for someone to be able to give me a shot in the back to stop the spasming. This is horrible pain. The assisting nurse insisted that I don’t curse at her. I told her I wasn’t cursing at her that the pain is so bad. «You obviously never experienced pain like this. » I was told by her «I’ve had 4 children so I do know.» This pain is worse than having children I thought to myself. Anyways, she was really mean and now I will be changing doctors because of her. Be aware of this clinic.
Needless to say the pain is not result yet!

I used to see a Doctor at this facility, 20 plus years ago. I was young and did not take his instructions to drop in and have my blood pressure checked (as I had a Nurse for a Mom and she was on it).
Next thing I know I get a letter from them telling me I am no longer welcome as a patient at this clinic, really? I attempted to call and plead my case but they were resolute.
Fast forward to 20 years and a bunch of maturity later, I called to make an appointment with a Specialist at this facility and I am still banned 20 fucking years later? I think it is no the verge of abusive and most certainly not fair to me.
They were adamant that I was still barred from their facility. I find this lifetime ban ridiculous. «Do no harm» yeah right.
I would stay as far away from this place as you can.

I used to have Kaiser but when I got insurance through work, I wasn’t able to keep them. I am SO RELIEVED to find a clinic like this! Everything is in the same place for ease of appointments!
The best part in my opinion? I visited the Hillsboro location and needed xray. I didn’t have to make an appointment for xray — just showed up! It’s so convenient!
Everyone that I’ve come in to contact with have been nothing but amazing!

This clinic definitely met my expectations today. Everyone was friendly efficient and did a thorough job. I would suggest this clinic to anyone. They have everything in house. I was in at 9 to fill out forms, did my appointment at 930, did blood work and was out at 1030. This will be my clinic for a long time. Doctor hopson is the sweetest!

Agreeing with a previous comment on the unreliable business and billing department. I went there for an annual checkup and the procedures that are covered for the past 10 years in different cities and by different insurances turned out to be not covered, because the way the doctor ordered them. It has been more than half a year, going back and forth with them to fix the ordering form, which they refused to do so. I’ve given up, moved since then to a different place. Avoid them unless you have a life threatening emergency.

If you’re looking for a clinic with shady business practices, then this is your clinic.
For a number of years, I was a patient of the Portland Clinic, LLC, at both this location and the one in Beaverton, off TV Hwy.
While undergoing treatment for my mild traumatic brain injury, my primary care provider recommended an elective procedure that would help me improve my sleep, which would assist the treatment program prescribed by my specialist. As expected, I filled out a bunch of paperwork, including a pre-​authorization form, so that the clinic could submit the procedure for approval /​coverage, and then I went home. After a period of time, the clinic phoned to schedule the appointment, saying that the procedure had been approved by the insurance.
I had the procedure (didn’t end up helping), and when I received the statement of benefits report from my insurance, I was informed it was not covered. The clinic then sent me a bill. I contested it because I’d only had the procedure because I’d been told it was covered. (I’ve since learned my lesson about relying on providers to do pre-​authorizations for me, and I now do them myself.)
Though my mental faculties were not what they are now, due to the brain injury, I attempted to work with the clinic to figure out what had happened and what could be done about it. The representatives in the billing department were not interested in that. Instead, I was dismissed as a patient and handed over to a collections company.
I’ve since tried to work with the collections company — another horrible organization by the name of Atlas Financial Services — and they are also unwilling to negotiate. Rather than come to some sort of compromise, I’ve been served with notice that I’m being taken to small claims court.
The moral of this story? If you’re going to use them as your doctor, make sure you get a copy of the pre-​authorization approval form for your own personal records. Don’t allow them to just show it to you, or tell you over the phone that it was approved and it’s okay to make an appointment. If/​when they lose the form, you’re the one stuck with the bill.
Please save yourself years of trouble, and find another doctor’s office.

This is more of a ‘mini hospital’ than a clinic. I was impressed by the full range of physicians and surgeons they seem to have available. This location is spacious and professional. I did have to wait a little longer than expected (but not More than visiting a private doctors office normally demands). I definitely did not feel like I was in a clinic, in the traditional sense of the word.
As for quality of care, that (like in all heath care situations) depends on the practitioner themselves.
