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.

Would not recommend.
Dr. Halsey has no right treating patients if he can't take care of people with compassion and kindness. When I described my pain after my first spinal fusion failed, after he gave me a hook at the top of my spinal fusion when it had been known for 3-4 years previous that it was a faulty painful piece of equipment that doesn't work well he said i had a intimate relationship with my pain. He also 'forgot' to write a prescription for me after I woke up from my spinal fusion and thought I was lying when I couldn't move my feet to full motion. I didn't feel comfortable or safe under his care, nor do I like dishonest people.

Dr. Halsey is a wonderful doctor. We’ve been with him since our five year old was first born, and plan to stay with him for years to come. Any parent that has had a child that has had to undergo surgeries is very scary, and Dr. Halsey made my husband and myself feel confident in his expertise, and put many of our fears to rest. He has always been non judgmental, and made us feel more than comfortable. I couldn’t ask for a better doctor for us to put our child’s wellbeing in. Thank you Dr Halsey

Although Dr. Halsey became an MD in 1994 he does not make an impression of a knowledgeable and experienced doctor. He apparently also believes that his position allows him being rude and repulsive.

Portland, OR – Nov 07, 2018

Dr. Halsey was pleasant, kind, and established rapport well with my sensitive teen who has seen plenty of physicians, thus, is not easily impressed with doctors these days. Dr. Halsey seemed caring, genuine (resident was ok). We agree with the plan. This was *not* an urgent appointment, so scheduled over a month prior to the visit. We were given a buzzer at check-in to notify us of when staff would bring us back for the exam. This allowed us to walk a bit and grab a coffee as we were early.
