South Tabor Family Physicians

Dr. Jansen was very rude and he did not know what he was doing. He seemed careless and was too lazy to go back and read my last chart from the last time I went in and visited him. Not only that, but the receptionist, Heidi was very VERY rude as well. I’m definitely not going back there again.

I have seen the same two Doctors since I was 12 years old. I am now 47 years old. My family physician retired and I was lost! My longtime OBGYN referred me to Dr. Joshua Reese at South Tabor. I am so very glad he did. Dr. Reese and his team are awesome. Now my husband, daughter, son-​in-​law and nephew see Dr. Reese as our primary care physician. I have always been treated with respect by all staff members. On the rare occasion I have to leave a message I am always called back right away. My husband and I have both had lab work done and have gotten the results right when expected. Dr. Reese and his nurse treat us like family. They have taken the time to get to know my family and myself. I love that! I would highly recommend South Tabor.

This practice is directly responsible for diagnosing my colon cancer when others missed it. Exceptional service and communication during my diagnosis and treatment.
I have dropped by without an appointment twice over the past few years when in need of medical treatment. Each time the front desk did their best to accommodate.

I called today to become a new patient for myself and son. It’s convenient to my home and has good hours, plus takes my insurance. Great! NOT!!! The automated system prompted me to select «new patient» I did, to which a woman sourly answered, «tabor». I explain my reason for calling and she rudely stated I needed to talk to new patient person… which is what I chose. Without warning I’m sent to a voicemail system. Left my info and eventually got a call back. I again explain that I would like to become a patient and start that process, she sighs and puts me on hold, hangs up on me and though there was almost two and a half hours left to their business hours just never bothered to call me back.

I can not speak highly enough of Dr. Stager. I have a major panic disorder when it comes to seeing doctors. It takes everything in me just to show up. After a few appointments with Dr. Stager I became much more relaxed and after years of avoiding doctors offices I now feel comfortable going in.
Dr. Stager took the time to listen to me and heard all of my concerns. Unlike many doctors who just dismiss my issues as «general anxiety», Dr. Stager went out of her way to make sure I felt safe.
Anyone who has anxiety about going to the doctor should go see Dr. Stager!

This practice is one of the best in the Portland Metro Area. The Doctors are experienced and accomplished. The Physician’s group here even has weekend Clinic hours. I chose this group because a Pharmaceutical Representative friend told me they had the best and brightest Doctors here. As for the low ratings in other reviews, the issue those people had were with their Insurance companies, not this practice. I would not hesitate to recommend this group of Physicians to family and friends.

I do not know why there are such bad reviews for this place. I have been coming here for 3 years now and never had a problem. From calling prescriptions, to in clinic visits– they are always very helpful in fulfilling the needs of their clients.

So, we’ve been seeing Dr. Crover (both my husband and I) for about a year now and she was totally fine. My husband has had a lot of trouble with allergies and we had an outstanding bill of a mere 60.00 for all the testing and treatments he’s had done recently. No big deal right? Well, he was in an ATV accident over the weekend and hurt himself badly. He called to set up an appointment because he is in a lot of pain. He explained this to the receptionist… she seemed very concerned «oh, no let me transfer you to someone who can help» then he gets «Mr. Bersine, it looks like you owe 60.00» ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!? How about you take care of the patient FIRST then say «oh, by the way it looks like you have an outstanding balance, can we take care of that today?» I understand this is a business… but take care of the sick FIRST! At least get the appointment set up and make the patient feel as if he’s more than a $$ sign. I called to pay the 60.00 and the receptionist told me that my husband misunderstood… that what happened was standard business practice. We will be seeking out a new clinic. Sad to say.

Doctors dont diagnose or mis diagnose frequently. It took them a year to figure out that I had carpal tunnel. I can site other instances of disapointment as recently as this month. They dont know your name and dont take the time to review your chart before your visit. Want to feel like a number? Then south tabor is the place for you. Simple procedure with scissors to cut off skin tag on my shoulder was billed at 160 dollars (for less than 3 second job and a band aid).I am ashamed of myself for not having changed after 4 years of let downs. The truth is, the staff are great and the facility is very nice and clean. But the advice nurse is cranky on the phone and every time I talk to someone or have a tiny question, they want to book me for another waste of time appointment and bill my insurance again. Why cant I expect a written diagnosis and action plan from my doctor at the end of each visit? Why cant they remember to review and follow up on my last visit. Why cant I get results and feel better. Why cant they provide me with a reference to another doctor if they are not able or capable of treating my injury? Why cant they understand that a pain ranking of 9 is severe and it requires treatment? The people that give this clinic 5 star reviews have forgotten what a family doctor is and what it means to be treated with care and genuine concern. Or maybe they just had a hangnail. I really think they overbook the clinic and my Doctor is always in a rush to see his next patient. I have tried 3 doctors at this clinic. Crover is probably the best of them. I really wish health care in America was respectable again. Find a different place if you can. Sorry.

I’ve lived in Portland for almost 2 years now and decided it was about time to find a doctor. I was pleasantly surprised with how friendly and thorough everyone was from my first phone call thru the end of my appointment.
While setting up my appointment, I spoke with Joyce, she was very informative and nice. When I arrived the ladies at the desk were nice as well! Then during my appointment, with Alex Connor PA, it just got better. She was very attentive and thorough; She asked questions about things I had never been asked, and informed/​educated me. She also seems to try some more natural things before jumping straight to a prescription. They also seem very available, which is great for us with complicated schedules.

I do not love this office. Their customer service systems seem unnecessarily cumbersome. I have to wait a long time for return calls and often don’t receive the requested info if they leave a message in return (thereby the cycle begins).
The front desk gals are friendly enough, as are the nurses. It really is just in the phone service that lacks.
Our doc, Dr. Douglas, is kind, wise, friendly — an excellent doctor on ever level.
