Devaux Christian DO, Salem OR

My husband and I both find Dr. Devaux to be excellent. He is thorough and thinks outside the box which helped me deal with a chronic pain issue that for years several doctors thought was stomach/gallbladder issues. He explains everything in detail and addresses our questions and concerns without being an alarmist. He is the first doctor my husband will visit regularly. He is not warm and fuzzy but that’s not why we see him. We like him and will change insurance if our plan no longer carries him.

Very good when dealing with seeing how the whole body is affected and interacts, specifically when dealing with physical symptoms that may or might be related to trauma and stress factors.

He is moderately conservative and not a quack who seems quick to recommend invasive procedures to networking colleagues (I had a Dr.who tried to schedule me for a colonoscopy and endoscopy after one initial visit- mild nausea and upset stomach were related to stress and an injury Is endured, so I walked out of the office, wouldn't even take my cat to Wear Salem Clinic.)

He also takes time to check your ears, listen to you breathe, and will remove your stitches himself to ensure it's done right.

He's a big supporter or vaccines and preventive health, but also expects you to get your yearly mammogram too.

Didn't bother diagnosing my new debilitating pain. Sent me to chronic pain management instead.
Ignored me about a hip injury I could have had repaired back when I told him about it initially. Now it's been too long and I just have to live with it.
If you have any real medical problems, go somewhere else.
