Dr. Vanek was professional and compassionate. He thoroughly went through all of my records and then asked about what I have researched and what other doctors have told me. He listens!! It was a great experience. I've seen many doctors who I felt didn't listen so today's visit was a breath of fresh air.

He didn’t even read my intake sheet. Was condescending and dismissive after waiting 3 months to get an appointment. I would never recommend him

This MD is remarkably ignorant about hypothyroidism causes & treatments. Without looking for evidence to prove his position, he's insisted for five years that I have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. Never mind that he's never tested my autoantibodies to seek proof that this is the correct diagnosis for me. I've paid, out of pocket, 3 times to have both types of thyroid autoantibodies tested on me. Each time, the labs indicate that there is no evidence of any form of thyroid autoimmune disease in me.

I had a terrible time getting on medication for hypothyroidism.
Dr. Vanek knew right away what my difficulties were and prescribed the right medication for me.
And if you need to ask questions later, he always responds quickly through ohsu messages.
I will always be grateful for his help.
I highly recommend this physician!

I "bounced" between several Doctors and Residents for 1+ years before I had the extreme fortune to meet Dr. Vanick. He is extremely knowledgeable about Grave's Disease. He answers all my questions with thoughtful, easy to understand responses. He reviews my case history BEFORE I walk into his office so he does not have to waste time during my appointment reading my history. He reviews my other medical issues so as to have a comprehensive view of me as a patient. I would highly recommend him.

I am so thankful to have found Dr. Vanek. He is an amazing doctor. After years of searching for a diagnosis, I saw Dr. Vanek and he discovered what was wrong with me in a very short amount of time. He literally gave me my life back. He ran the right tests and methodically ruled out possibilities to find the correct answers. One of the most valuable things he does is really take the time to listen, believe the patient and thoroughly go through your symptoms to discover the cause(s).
