Positive Experiences
Many patients have had excellent experiences at Portland Backsmith, praising the staff's exceptional bedside manner, friendly and professional service, and personalized care. Dr. Z has been commended for his expertise, knowledge, and ability to listen to patients' concerns. The team has also been praised for their exceptional treatment, attention to detail, and commitment to making lasting changes rather than just treating symptoms.
Negative Experiences
However, one patient had a poor experience, citing issues with charting and communication. They experienced difficulties with scheduling appointments, which led to cancellation and rescheduling. Additionally, they felt rushed during appointments and felt that Dr. Z didn't review their charts. Another patient's experience was marred by inefficient communication with the front desk staff, leading to missed appointments and miscommunication.
