Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

A True Health Partner
I was thrilled to connect with Dr. Dempster 5+ years ago when I moved to Portland and needed a new primary care doctor. I was able to have an open and honest conversation about my health; it felt like I was talking with a friend. My appreciation deepened just over two years ago when I started having a series of seemingly unrelated health issues and Dr. Dempster ordered the tests that ultimately diagnosed a rare and serious condition. She helped me navigate a complicated diagnosis and treatment plan and was a true advocate for me every step of the way. I encountered several other doctors as part of my treatment that commented on how astute Dr. Dempster had been to arrive at my diagnosis, which made me all the more grateful. She really is the best.

I had Dr. Dempster as my PCP for several years, and found her to be a good practitioner. Unfortunately, I did not get the attention I expected for a chronic illness I have because she was focused on a medication that I was tapering with excellent success! When my blood pressure was high and having had a serious bout of CHF, she wasn’t as focused on my cardiac symptoms as I expect.ed Also, I found several staff members to be unfriendly, and one to be openly rude, especially to my spouse.
