Hawthorne Chiropractic & Healing Arts

I love the staff here! They always fit me in if I’m having a chiro emergency. Amy Lennon is the best. They’re a green office & they send you home with homework so you can continue your care at home. I love supporting this local business.

My whole family and myself have been seeing doctor Amy Lennon and Cliff Marhoefer for years. They are amazing! They are always very helpful, insightful, knowledgable, kind and resourceful. A couple of months ago my son hurt his knee playing soccer and he asked right away to see Dr Lennon or Dr. Marhoefer. Due to everyone’s schedules we ended up seeing Dr. Arica. She is just as amazing! She has a great way to communicate with my teenager and gives him the respect and time he needs. What a great addition to Hawthorne Chiropractic!

Amy Lennon gave me the best chiropractic care I’ve had anywhere in Portland on two occasions, one of which involved serious disc herniation. She’s professional, extremely knowledgeable, clear and communicative and most importantly — effective!

Just love this place! They always have easy times available with my schedule and they are so friendly!

Horrible billing. Hawthorne Chiropractic continues to send me bills for what should be insurance-​covered expenses, but these bills identify neither the practitioner nor the treatment. Naturally my insurance company will not pay bills that give no information about the treatment other than «additional incident» .
Phoning my insurance company is an exercise in frustration because they blame the biller. Phoning Hawthorne Chiropractic about these unidentified charges is a waste of time, since they can’t identify the practitioner either — their records have only the date of the charge. This is offensive because its their poor billing practice that is causing me to pay out of pocket for a covered expense.
The house has a homey feeling and notwithstanding the very loud noise during the summer from the outdoor bar next door, the treatment rooms are pleasant.

I have been seeing Amy Lennon for just under 15 years. It started when I was pregnant with my first child and I haven’t stopped. Amy is a gifted, empathetic Dr. Amy and Bridgette are a wonderful team and keep my body in good working order. I don’t have constant back issues but when they spring up they work hard to get me in and see me. I can’t recommend Hawthorne Chiropractic enough!!! They gals at the front desk are super sweet!

The team here has gone above and beyond in dealing with my insurance company and keeping me informed. Amy and Bridgette are very knowledgable and work well as a team. Everyone is friendly and helpful. My only hesitation in giving 5 stars is that I sometimes spend time during the visit waiting as other patients are seen. However, I don’t really mind because the rooms are comfortable!

This place is amazing! I had been working with another chiropractor for a year, but stopped seeing any forward progress. I was seeing him 2 times a week.
Since I’ve been working with Amy (over a year now) I am pain free, and only visiting once a month.
I’ve also seen Beth, the acupuncturist and she’s amazing too. I was nervous about trying acupuncture, but after Amy recommended it, I figured it was time to give it a try.
I can’t say enough positive things about everyone I’ve met here. They make me feel at home and I can tell they really care about me.

I feel spoiled being a patient here. The ladies at the front office are all amazingly sweet and have never given me a problem when I need to reschedule or have a special request that needs to be done ASAP. I have been seeing Amy Leslie for almost three months now for chiro treatment on MVA related injuries and she is AWESOME! There are days when my body feels okay and times where I feel like s#@t, but Amy always has the best attitude and works really hard at getting my body back to feeling better. She has taken the time to get to know me and has been very sweet to my 4 year old when he’s had to tag along with me.
I also have recently seen Cam for therapeutic massages and hands down he is one of the best. He has really strong hands, but always applies the right pressure to problem and painful areas. He’s really chill and can come off as quiet, but man o man he does such a fantastic job I’m okay with his hands doing all the talking.
I recommend both Amy Leslie and Cam and suggest you book your appointment a week ahead because the schedules can fill up quick. Just don’t pick the times I need :)

Great staff, caring people.

I have some observations, but I’m not sure if they are based in fact or if it is the blissed-​out-​endorphins talking.
1). Do they only hire attractive people to work here?
2). Do they screen all receptionist applicants until they find the most über-​sweet hipster gals?
The first time I visited for a massage it was with Cameron. Now this can be a unisex name and to be honest, I just ignorantly assumed I would be rubbed down by a lady. I was surprised, nay, panicked, when I realized the sitch. I’m pretty sure there was a lot of stuttering and an inability to maintain eye contact. I vividly remember a ton of self talk…“pretend he is an obese, hairy, Yeti of a man.“
Don’t worry, the spaztastic response did not last long as Cameron’s professionalism and nurturing nature put me quite at ease.
His technique is masterful and magical. He intuitively uses the right amount of pressure and thoroughly treats your problem areas.
Also adding to the awesomeness: weekend hours, accepts my crappy insurance, and discount with check-​in.
So, if in need of a massage, why not get all lubed up by a talented cutie-​petutie?
Wait, better yet, don’t ever go here. This place sucks. (Petrified that Unilocalers are going to hoard in on this sweet massage action leaving no Saturday appoints with Cameron for me!)

Parking is kind of a pain but the office is homey and cozy. The people are very friendly and helpful.
Road work outside on Division makes for some traffic problems but have no fears, you will feel better coming out of here than you do coming in.

I’ve been going there for about a year now, but I don’t have constant back problems, so I don’t go every month. They are very friendly, and it’s usually easy to get an appointment. They offer a variety of techniques, but I haven’t felt the same kind of «relief» as I got from my old chiro in Boston, so I’d give my experience with the chiropractic services three stars.
But I have to agree with Christina N. that Alex gives the most amazing massages, and that’s why I wish I could give three and a half stars. He alone is the best reason to go there. If you get massages fairly regularly, like I do, you can tell that some massage therapists truly have «the touch» as Alex does. He has excellent sensitivity for where you are sore and how much pressure to use.

I had a great experience at Hawthorne Chiropractic. Amy really listened and asked many questions so that she could clearly understand my problem and properly treat. I went through a series of treatments that ultimately aided me in walking again. I had heat, and electro-​stimulus, taping, home stretches, ice, manual adjustments, massage and Graston therapy. I will go back for sure and advise anyone who needs a great chiropractor!

Been a patient for years and I highly recommend Dr. Lennon… she is kind, patient and knowledgeable. The rest of the staff are great too, and I always feel taken care of.

I have had very pleasant experiences with massage at the Hawthorne Chiropractic in Portland. Their massage therapist Alex gives the best massages. He will find every little knot in your body and work them until they are gone using the perfect pressure. I highly recommend him!
The staff in the whole place is friendly and attentive. The only drawback is their billing. It’s a nightmare actually. They didn’t bill my insurance for over three months from treatment and then it took them another month to get it all straighten out because they didn’t have any record of my payments. So make sure you save all your payment receipts because you will have to go over them one by one with them. If Alex wasn’t such an awesome masseuse I’d probably not go back just for the additional stress of having to deal with their billing mistakes.
