Woodstock Natural Health Clinic, Portland OR

This clinic has literally saved my life. Dr. May is nurturing, compassionate, and a true advocate for all of her patients. I honestly have no idea where I would be without her. She does not rest until she has an answer for you and is so willing to go back to the drawing board time and time again for adjustments as necessary. I feel that most of the care I have received has been a numbers game and no one really listening to what was happening with me. Dr. May really deeply listens and believes in you. This place is truly the best, you are in great hands here!

As the first time patient you need to sign some documents. Since when you tell the patient sign this and the you read? That was the first red flag to me. The second was that were keep repeating that by law I need to wear a mask. Where in the law said I need to wear a mask to have service?

Awful service, discrimination all over the place. DO NOT GO IN HERE.

After the response of my first review I'll update.
This place only response about the mask. But never response about the comment from the fronk desk girl saying "sign first and then read" which by LAW I have al the rights to do it.

This place is only concerned to receive money not to care for people and service the community.

Dr. Val and Dr. May are a wonderful contribution to our community and to our family. We have been seeing them for our healthcare for years. I always feel at home, like I’m listened to and understood. The healthcare they provide is phenomenal and they’re always very timely and understanding of personal situations, lifestyle goals and encouraging. They’re so flexible and I seriously cannot give them the praise they deserve. Thank you for all that you do.

Very poor communication with this doctor. Love her personality but I feel as though money is her primary concern. I’ve worked with her for about 6 months and all she does is promise things will get better. Has not given a referral to any doctor that could possibly help.

I don't really have words that can do justice to W. N. H. C, and, specifically, Dr. Valerie Ferdinand. The best I can come up with is the distinction between just doctors and true healers; Dr. Val is one of the few who are the latter. Anyone who lives with a chronic condition, or has a child with one, has probably been to a lot of doctors and hopefully has the good fortune to be cared for by a healer - someone who you can trust because their goal is yours: To live your best life, no matter what brought you to their door. And to achieve this goal, we patients need both to Be and Feel heard, to feel that our care providers are working with us, not just pushing their medical agenda. Dr. Valerie Ferdinand is all of this and so much more. I think I tell her every time I see her how thankful I am to have her captaining my health and Quality of Life!
After coming here from a small town in California, where you don't have the luxury of choosing your doctor, I suffered bad medicine for 12 years. Clearly this man forgot the medical maxim, "First, do no harm. "
W. N. H. C.and Doctor Val would get the highest marks regardless, but getting such amazing care (because she really does care) after receiving the polar opposite was such a blessing, I can't not let the world know!
As well, the entire support staff (Belle & Jen) is awesome.
Like a few other people have written, going here changed my life! Thank You️.
