Clearwater Clinic

I started seeing Dr. Basinger two months ago for some chronic hip pain that was diagnosed as arthritis. I was told there was not much I could do, besides prepare for a hip surgery in the next decade. At barely 40 years old and in good shape, I was not ready to accept such a fate and decided to see Dr. Basinger on the recommendation of a good friend who had also had great success with him. He was very thorough in his diagnosis, and I started seeing him 2x/​week for therapy. Dr. Basinger is one of the very few chiropractors in the area who is licensed to do what is called internal pelvic floor work, and this therapy was a game changer for me! When I began seeing him, I could not sit in a cross-​legged manner at all. After two months of regular therapy, my hips no longer ache and I can sit in a full butterfly with my knees nearly reaching the floor! My husband was very skeptical at first, but he is the first one now to tell people how amazing my progress has been.
I also apprecaite that Dr. Basinger knew when it was time to scale back treatment. After three weeks of seeing him 2x/​week, he told me we were ready to go to 1x/​week. Now, after 5 weeks of seeing him once a week, he told me we were ready to scale it back to once/​month (but more if I felt it was needed). I trust that he is honestly looking out for my best interest, and not just looking at me as a predictable payment on the books, which I have felt from other chiropractors in the past.
From lovely Heidi at the front desk, to the warm and kind assistants, to Dr. Basinger himself, this is a place worth checking out if your body needs a bit of TLC!

I highly recommend Clearwater Clinic!
Dr. Lekas is awesome! I have been seeing him for years — best neck adjustment I’ve ever had :)
His assessment of any issue I come in with is very thorough, he never makes me feel like he is too busy or that he needs to rush off to the next appointment, and he is very helpful by answering my many health and fitness related questions, whether in person or by email.
Couldn’t ask for a better chiropractor! :)

I have been put Back together by Doctor Brian Baisinger and Doctor Greg Lekas over and over for many years. I have referred well over a hundred injured police officers, athletes and friends to the Clearwater Clinic. So far I have never had a single person I refereed come back to me with anything less than a enthusiastic and positive review of their experience.
The thing I appreciate the most is the fact everyone at Clearwater is interested and expert at getting me fixed up and back in the game. I’ve never felt like my treatment is being extended unnecessarily. The treatment is effective and designed to get me back to 100 percent as quickly as possible.
If you want experts to help you heal and get the most out of your physical capabilities Clearwater Clinic is the only choice. Integrity, honesty and expertise are all hallmarks of the doctors and staff.

Can not say enough good things about clearwater clinic. I have been going to Dr. Lekas off and on for a couple of years. He was the only chiropractor that did a thorough enough exam to actually find out what was causing my problem and fixing it. After years of massages and chiropractors to get rid of painful muscle knots and spasms in my upper back, Dr. Lekas was able to see, just by looking at my pelvis, that one of my legs was ever soo slightly longer than the other. I went and got an xray and it was 1.5mm longer.
He prescribed a small rubber lift for the inside of my short leg’s shoe. i almost laughed when he told me that «this is going to be a big change, you will be back in less than a week». Sure enough, that little lift thoroughly threw my back and shoulders for a loop. After two more adjustments however, problem solved! I can’t believe that years of pain in discomfort could have been solved by putting a thin piece of rubber in my shoe.
I’m a bit of an extreme sports guy and tend to beat up on my body pretty badly. Dr. Lekasis personal, professional, and is far and away the most skilled chiropractor I have ever visited.

I really love the staff at this clinic. They are friendly and caring. Dr. Baisinger is a excellent chiropractor. I had a traumatic accident that left me with numerous sprains and muscle injuries. He has helped me so much in the healing process. I would recommend him to anyone with back, neck or muscle pain. He is very knowledgable about the body, Knowing just what treatment will help the most. He is warm and caring, so refreshing to find a doctor with a great bedside manner. If you’ve been in any kind of accident I would highly suggest you make an appointment at this clinic.

Clearwater Clinic is the bomb and Dr. May is the go-​to guy for aches, pains and structural issues; I’m a believer. A few years ago, I was having repeat pain issues in my upper back and shoulder — I am no wimp and this was killing me. I NEVER call the doctor unless I’m bleeding to death and twice I called the clinic almost in tears and they squeezed me in to see Dr. May the same day. He would work my shoulder until it gave in and I was able to reconvene normal living until the next episode. After several sessions, he recommended an MRI and I learned that I had a bone spur growing into my spinal column at my neck that was causing the muscle and nerve pain. I am so grateful to Dr. May for having tended to my discomfort and then guiding me to the cure for it.
Recently, I saw a Groupon for the clinic and excitedly gave them a call. I had been thinking about having my son’s posture checked and was planning on calling Dr. May so the timing was perfect. When I called the clinic I was informed that the Groupon was typically for another doctor but, since I was a patient of Dr. May’s, they were happy to honor it. Again, a testament to the clinic’s customer service.
My son had a great exam — Dr. May is as awesome with young people as he is with old at explaining the way our bodies work — and also enjoyed his treatment. We both left the clinic happy and feeling great. I highly recommend this clinic and their staff!

This is in response to Larry L! What the what… I wonder what problems you were having?! The front desk has been nothing but helpful, friendly, courteous! Answering any questions I have had… never making me feel like they don’t have the time or patience. I’m thinking you just caught someone on a bad day. Bryan is one of the most knowledgeable Chiropractors I have ever met! Helps with things you would never associate with the back… phenomenal!

Wow and thank you is all I can say. I went into Dr. Jacob May’s office with serious pain in my back and left with barely any. Dr. Jacob is thorough, caring and funny. I would recommend this clinic to anyone who is dealing with pain or wanting to work on something specific.

I recently saw Dr. Baisinger on a visit to Portland, and was very impressed. I’ve been to several skilled chiropractors over the years here in the San Francisco bay area, and his skills at least match or exceed most of the doctors I’ve seen here. First of all, the office is very professional, yet relaxing and has a calming atmosphere. Dr. Bryan adjusted me from head to toe, and was very reassuring in the quality of his touch — I’m a former massage therapist and appreciate when people have sensitive hands, which he does. I’ve been to a few doctors who were rougher with the adjustments but not Dr. Bryan, he was quick, accurate and the right amount of firm/​gentle. After just one visit, my posture is naturally straighter. I also saw Mel for a one hour massage, and she was fabulous — I don’t know how she managed to keep the right amount of pressure during the whole massage without me asking her to adjust it, but she did. I definitely will be back to see this awesome chiropractor and massage team every time I go back to Portland and highly recommend them!

I still feel the same about these guys! Yet, better! I have seen them repeatedly over the years for various issues.
I started following the hcg diet about one year ago, and struggled with maintenance even with following all of the dietary specifics regarding re-​introducing foods, etc… I lost quite a bit of weight and went in to see Dr. Baisinger and Dr. Nelson, again for other items. I mentioned that I was struggling with maintenance and that I had recently started exercising.
I FINALLY did the VO2 testing and purchased a heart monitor and found that I was exercising above the zone that I should have been. After giving it a good, solid month at my new «target» heart rate zone, I ended up stabilizing on the scale and feeling a WHOLE lot better about myself.
Previously (when I was exercising at a higher rate), I would get a little sweaty on my forehead, but once I re-​focused at a lower rate, I found that I would sweat a lot more on my midsection, etc… and I felt a warmth come over me about 10 minutes into the workouts. I feel that it has allowed me to focus on my fitness more, instead of just focusing on my weight.
I just love this place! You will too :)

Brian Baisinger is incredible. I have been using his service for years now. I had a certain type of insurance that covered chiropractors. I tried 12 on the list and went straight back to Brian and paid full price. It gave me the insight about what is out there and how great Brian and Clearwater truly is. Any referrals I have sent to him have been very pleased as well.

Amazing clinic, great staff and Dr. Baisinger provides the most thorough exam. I do a lot of long cycling events … a hour or so massage with Diane and I’m ready to go another 100 miles

I went to go see Dr. Jake May today and all I have to say is wow.
I’ve never gone to a chiropractor before but I heard about Clearwater Clinic from Portland Fit and the Helvetia Half (they give runners free 5 minute massages). So when a groupon special came up for an assessment + 30 minute massage, I jumped on it.
I arrived at 3:20, thinking my appointment was at 3:30…it was actually at 3pm but because I don’t have any major pain, they were able to accommodate me with my full treatment (though they did also offer to split it up so I could come back for the massage – which was REALLY nice of them considering it was my mistake.)
Dr. May was awesome. He is EXTREMELY personable and I liked him right off the bad. During the assessment he was very thorough and made me feel comfortable. Not only did he talk me through the «technical jargon» but he also explained it in layman terms. As someone who just started running, I was very appreciative of all of the insight he was able to offer and the tips and exercises he shared with me.
Overall, fabulous experience. If I ever need to see a chiro again, I’ll definitely be going back. Even if I don’t, the massage was worth it – he was able to pinpoint where my muscles were tight or hurting and make them feel better than new.

I recently had the best body work I’ve ever had by Dr. Jake May. I’ve been to chiropractors before, and tons of massage, and his holistic approach to both left me feeling extraordinaly confident in his care. I also felt like a complete noodle after my treatment, which consisted of a full-​body scan and evaluation, adjustment, and incredible massage.
I am reasonably athletic and really appreciate Dr. Jake’s knowledge of not only anatomy, but sports as well. He asks questions and listens, and is able to sniff out those little tweaks that naturally happen with specific forms of exercise and activity. Because of this he’s able to dig right in to get things back in their proper working order, and he’s not afraid to try various forms of treatment to find out what’s just right for your specific body and injury.
If you’re looking for an amazing health experience, go see Dr. Jake.

I’m grateful for the outstanding care I’ve had a Clearwater. Dr. Bryan Baisinger has amazing diagnostic abilities. He’s also focused on solving the root of the problem, not merely treating the symptoms. He adjusted me over three visits and used a handful of other techniques (electro stim is awesome! It’s like a hot rocks massage!) to get my muskoskeletal system back online. Then, I worked with Dr. Lekas who trained me to do exercises specific for my problem. He does an outstanding job of teaching you to feel when you are doing it correctly or not so that you have proper form at home. These exercises are a magical spell that keep my back from flaring up.
The clinic is a very relaxing, comforting place with warm yellow walls and soft lighting. Everyone I’ve met there has been pleasant to work with. It’s a great environment for healing.
They have specialists for sports, pregnancy and kids, naturopathic care, acupuncture and more.
Give a man a fish and he’ll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he’ll eat forever.
Clearwater has taught me to fish rather than giving me one fish per visit.

Amazing clinic, amazing staff and Dr. Baisinger provides the most thorough exam. He gives me enough information so that I know what’s going on but not so much that I’m getting flashbacks from my 200 level bio classes. They have massage therapy, chiropractic and naturopathic care and I have been treated for a migrane, typical runner’s ailments and as well as allergies — both seasonal and food. I am able to call and with pretty short notice they have always been able to get me in. Also, they are able to work with my insurance company (Aetna). I’ve paid out of pocket for a massage and it was the best possible investment of $ 70.
Also, for my small business owner friends and clients, they have plans for affordable «small batch» health care for those who are unable to provide insurance. If you go to their website it’s under microCARE. Kind of a new concept, but it’s really been a benefit to the downtown small business owners whose employees can’t afford health insurance. I think I tell almost every new client about them, it’s that cool.
AND? Great front desk staff. So friendly and helpful! They are the BEST and helped me out BIGTIME when trying to get my insurance to pay for my services.
