Dr. Denker is great

by Jeff Winkler at Citysearch

I started seeing Dr. John Denker when I moved back to Portland from California in 2006. For those people who have complained about service at Mt. Tabor Medical, please, try getting any good service anywhere in California...I have found Mt. Tabor to be fine administratively and Dr. Denker is a very funny, nice, sincere guy. I wouldn't want any other doctor. We all have to deal with healthcare hassles-it's part of life in America- but I have found Mt. Tabor to be better than any other clinics I've dealt with before on a regular basis.

• Pros: neighborhood doctor
• Cons: none

Unsympathetic People

My fiance called in after having an episode on the floor where he couldn't get up and couldn't breathe. He had pulled a BAD muscle and was having spasms, and we thought he may have broken a rib. So, I call the doctor. The unprofessional receptionist transferred us to a nurse, who we thought would help us. But after describing how much pain he was in, she said, "You have an outstanding balance of $80, how can you pay for that today?"

My fiance's pain and concern wasn't as important as $80 funky ass dollars. It was hard enough trying to get him to go to the doctor after years of not going, but now he refuses to go to Mt. Tabor Medical Group again.

I will continue to go because of Dr. Schleef. She's a great doctor.

• Pros: Dr. Schleef
• Cons: Receptionists are horrible, nurses are bitchy

I see Libby Costello, a nurse practitioner here and she is AMAZING! She will run any and all tests I want, she makes me feel super comfortable. She has never discounted my feelings and has always treated me, my children and my husband with the most respect. The office staff is a little bit flighty and the billing department can be as well. BUT as long as she is there...so am I.

• Pros: Best NP EVER!
• Cons: Office staff a little flighty
