This was the BEST chiropractor I have been to. My impression was that he is a doctor who knows how to re-train the muscles (and the mind) in a way that builds long term strength instead of just short term relief from back pain (although short term relief from pain was part of the treatment). He listens, he hears, and he incorporates up to date back research and physical therapy techniques for treatment. His attitude encouraged me to engage in healing a back injury for the long term instead of the more typical experience of going in to be 'fixed' by the chiropractor on a regular basis. And after a few short visits and over a month of working on my own, I am more pain free and mobile than I have been in years.
??My experience: When I was a college athlete I had a bad head and back injury. Throughout the subsequent years I have had some physical therapy and periodic chiropractic sessions with other doctors to manage the injury. In general there was little cohesive treatment with an eye toward long term movement, and the general attitude was that surgery was an option and in the meantime I could just keep coming back for more sessions. I was tired of feeling dependent on a chiropractor when my back went into a spasm, absolutely did not want surgery, and felt that I just needed to find a way to strengthen what had become weak inside. After a short treatment plan with Dr. Snell, I have learned exercises to strengthen specific core muscle groups, learned how to work through the 'good pain' vs. 'bad pain' ?syndrome (i.e. soreness from working specific muscles vs. pain that is your body yelling 'stop!'), and I feel for the first time in twenty years that I no longer have to be 'crippled' periodically by this injury.
??I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DR. SNELL to anyone, especially if you are suffering from an athletic injury or other pain that is preventing you from being fully mobile or as active as you would like to be.
Pros: effective, caring, listens, professional
Cons: none

Club sports is a 5 star gym and fitness center. I travel an hour at least once a week to use this facility. They have amazing rock walls that no other gyms in my area have. The gym itself is huge and offers everything imaginable. I really can not say enough good things about club sports.

I really love this place, the care and style of the docs is second to none. Now that they have a chiropractor it makes this place complete. Karen really spends time with you, which is so rare in a chiropractor. I love that she includes cranial sacral.
Pros: Acupuncture, Chiropractics and Massage
Cons: None to think of

I recently worked with Dino Paris addressing the specific problem of anxiety. The result of our work together was remarkable. Dino assisted me in tracing the anxiety back to a particular childhood memory that was representative of numerous such instances which had taken place. I have been able to complete a forgiveness process which has given me an emotional freedom which I desired for as long as I can remember. I have the highest regard for Dino as a highly skilled and compassionate professional, and have no hesitation in recommending him to others who have anxiety and/or long-standing trauma which they would like to address.
Pros: Genuine, great listener, highly skilled psychotherapist

This is a great clinic for hair removal with a great staff that makes you feel very comfortable in an uncomfortable situation. I am a rather large gal that has been having her bikini area, upper inner thighs and stomach done (rather embarrassing when your are a large person) but the staff is great at making it seem like the most natural thing they do. I would recommend this place to anyone who asks. And I have.
Pros: Staff that makes you feel comfortable
Cons: None

I went in this week with nausea fromshoulder pain, and squeezing around the eyes and ear canals. Felt restored to normal functioning after the adjustment. What a relief!
My right kidney had been hurting, and that was much improved, unexpectedly.
Dr. Scott isn't the conventional crack-crunch method, and you think it can't be effective, but it is. I've been going to him for some years, though a 2 year hiatus between last appointment and the one before, as I've been broke.
Highly recommend the effectiveness of his treatments. He's very Western - no earthy crunchy or woo-woo (as a friend of mine would say) at all. I'm more on the woo-woo side, but it all works.
Pros: Effective - magical - pain reduction

I really want to thank Dr. Clark first for his kindness. He is very giving and generous. Oh yeah...almost forgot?he's an excellent chiropractor. I was skeptical at first because the massage therapist I had been going to wasn?t able to relieve the pain and numbness in my arm. I?ve been to other chiropractors but never had results like this. My arm doesn?t hurt anymore and the numbness has gone away. Thanks again Dr. Clark!
Pros: Dr. Clark knows what he's doing
Cons: He doesn't make house calls

A classic co-op, this cozy but efficient grocery is like Whole Foods shrunk to 1/10th the size and scrubbed of its corporate sheen. Produce, bulk, deli with freshly produced dishes, household supplies, and a best-of collection of packaged foodstuffs, you could get away with only shopping here. One of only a small handful of co-ops in all Portland.

I was unsure of where I wanted to take my pets. The clinics I was familiar with and leaned towards were too expensive for me. The ones that I COULD afford were shady and some of my pets had a different personality after a surgery there. Then, in an emergency, one of my cats was taken to Mt. Scott Animal Clinic!!! What a blessing! They treated him SO WELL and made the treatment affordable by working with me. The veteranarians are super knowledgeable and love animals and their main focus is on the health and welfare of the animal - who could ask for more??? ALL of my pets will go to Mt. Scott now!!!
Pros: Vets, staff, treatment, clean facility, comfort
Cons: None
