Portland VA Medical Center IM

He was supposed to call me at 2:00 PM. He called at 11:30 AM waking me up while I was completely disorientated. After a 7 month wait the call lasted 20 minutes & I don't think he could've cared less about my problem!!

Explains condition well, answers questions we had. Came in for one reason and he reviewed my whole health history. Good VA docs are hard to find, wish I can keep him as my permanent doctor.

Dr. DoNothing I've seen Timberlake for years now. It's my opinion that he's just punching his timecard without any real honest concern for his patients. Common remedy for almost everything is to eat right and get some rest. Does not like to refer patients to speciality clinics ect. Seems like there...

Dr. Talalotu is the best!

He was willing to listen to my Dad's extensive history. Dr Timberlake gave reasonable recommendations for the current stage of my Dad's life. I would recommend him for someone nearing the end of their life. He was compassionate and listened well to both my Dad and me.

Obviously has his own best interest above all else.

Does comp and pension veteran exams. I've seen him twice. He lies, whatever you tell him, never makes it into the exam notes. He makes up his own opinions. Complete waste of time. His soul purpose is to deny veterans claims. Don't expect to talk to him. He will cut you off and tell you it "isn't...

Dr. Iwaniec is very professional in his approach to care. He is also thoughtful and personable in appointments and easy to be around. I highly recommend him to others.

Required EMG and Nerve Conduction Testing. She left bruises on my arms and held the needle in hard while pressing down on it and telling me to relax. When I expressed pain and discomfort, she just told me to relax. I bled when she removed the needle in several places. A couple of days later,...

Wonderful, compassionate and knowledgeable doctor.

Just left this office with misinformation from a loud voiced man at check-in. Veterans CAN get their records immediately at the VA records department. And, learn the meaning of privacy. You talk too loud and the veteran was seeking HIS OEN FILES.

Intelligent, competent, informed and diligent. A good communicator. My illness - bladder cancer - was complicated by a rare genetic disorder. Dr. Kopp consulted with centers of excellence regarding latest developments in treatment. He quickly devised an effective treatment regimen and...

He's been my primary care doctor for almost a decade, and has helped me through several major health issues. He is always polite and professional. He referred me to some specialists when necessary and they were able to resolve my issues. I am very pleased with Dr. Timberlake and I think he deserves...

One if the best! Why? He listens!

It is obvious that Dr. Levitt has advanced expertise in her field but unfortunately she gave us the impression that she has lost much of her passion for her job. She comes across as uninterested and at times fearful. I applaud her for her service but prefer someone with more compassion.

Went from a decades long career as a successful and published Thoracic/Cardiovascular Surgeon to working as a C&P Examiner for Veteran’s Administration all the way across the country in Hillsboro, OR. Why would a successful surgeon leave a career earning 6-7 figures a year to move across the...

One of the nicest people you will ever meet in the medical field and even if he is busy he will find the time to help you. He is direct, proficient, professional, thorough and kind!

My husband has terminal prostate cancer metastisized into bones. Dr Timberlake and his staff were curtious, caring and compasionate. There was never a problem with getting an appointment. If he was caught up with a client before us the nurse notified us to an approximent wait time. Dr. Timberlake...

Skilled enough physician but an absolute nightmare to work with regardless of whether you are a fellow Pathologist, Tech, phlebotomist etc. Snide, hateful, angry, and just plain mean to everyone. EVERYONE who has worked with her feels the same.

Dr. Mudambi and Staff did a wonderful job with a very tough customer. These Guardian Angels worked on Brother James who has Traumatic Brain Injury with short term memory and suffers from inhalation of fast liquids and food into his bronchial cavities. Thanks for cleaning out and inspecting his...

If you have way to choose your primry doctor at the VA do not choose Dr. Ge. I cannot give more information because of privacy concerns and fear of retaliation. I've had great care from the VA in the past, but definitely not from Dr. Ge.

I found Dr Carr to be extremely knowledgeable and thorough.

Dr. Ardans is an excellent source for Psychiatric needs. She hears what you are saying, has a pleasant manner that helped me relax and get to my issues promptly. I would recommend her to those close to me to be a part of their health issues.

Refused treatment without even examining me. Then proceeded to threaten me with notes in my chart.

Did not communicate expectations well, or seem to listen to others. Appeared rather inflexible to having things not done her way.

Dr. Ardans LISTENS to what you have to say and asks pertinent questions. She is very personable and is able to get you to relax. She explains where her information comes from and gives statistics on expectancy of a 'plan' working or not working. I am extremely sorry to see her leaving the VA...

Very rude, abrupt, uncaring and doesn't know the most recent findings on how to treat Lynch Syndrome. Called me a polyp farmer and didn't understand how aspirin therapy slows down the new growth of cancerous polyps in Lynch Syndrome patients. His treatment is colostomy when a patient can live with...

Best primary care physician I've ever had. Listens to your concerns and doesn't rush you. Dr. Iwaniec has helped me out a lot since I've been under his care. While it isn't easy to schedule a visit with him because of the VA system, it doesn't reflect Dr. Iwaniec level of care as this is out of...

No through check up.Just a question and answer visit.All I get is blood pressure checked and that's about it and that's if my blood pressure is high.No prostrate check or other things I would expect to be checked.Looking for a new doctor at the vets.I am sure glad I have an outaide doctor for...
