Last July after being bitten by a spider I was treated by my regular doctor 2 times with antibiotics and nothing took away the swelling and itching. I ended up with all kinds of other weird symptoms as my histamin system went berserk. I tried other doctors, including an herbalist and a dermatologist and nothing would ease the symptoms let alone take care of the cause. Finally I went back to Portland and saw Dr. Scopes. She listened to my symptoms, prescribed about 5 different kinds of herbs and homeopathics and two weeks later all my symptoms are gone. Yahoo! Dr. Scopes listens well, is knowledgeable, thoughtful and kind, and she’s affordable and takes insurance. I highly recommend her.
