Hawthorne Wellness Center

I’ve been seeing Dr. Shay for almost 5 years now, and he’s also my 2 year old’s doctor. I really appreciate the care we receive. He shares our health ideals and always helps us find a natural path to wellness first, but is really open-​minded and will let us know when we we should use prescription or big pharma care (ex. vaccines). He has stayed late to squeeze us in for urgent health concerns several times and never rushes us during our visits. Top notch care!

The staff are amazing, Dr. Dean works miracles! Thank you for such a positive environment!

Found Hawthorne Wellness Center through my HMO, which covers chiropractic care through qualified practitioners. After reading his profile on their website, I chose Dr. Scott Haines. He proved to be an awesome choice. Not only did he quickly diagnose and successfully treat my problem in a mere two visits, he helped me to thoroughly understand the underlying causes and has given me some very easy exercises to strengthen my musculature to help prevent throwing my back out again. At 60 plus years of age, I have been around the block enough times to know a doctor and office at the top of their game.

I began visiting HWC several years ago for chiropractic after experiencing some back spasms. What I found to be truly unique about HWC is that their practitioners live up to their «wellness» ideals; Dr. Haines didn’t just treat my symptoms, he offered me tools that I implement on my own which genuinely helped strengthen my back. These exercises and alignment tools have helped dramatically reduce the amount of spasms I used to experience. I still go in for «tune-​ups» every so often, but now for preventive care rather than hobbling in partially immobilized! In the same vein, I also started massage with another practitioner at the center, Sara Armstrong, who is nothing less than a miracle worker. Highly recommended!

Everyone here is very helpful. Great service and eager to please. Dr. Scott Haines helps me in ways I can’t explain. Highly recommended.

After coming to Unilocal to find a specialist in jaw pain that likely wasn’t caused by TMJ, I found a compelling review for Dr. Haines. The location is only a few blocks from where I live, *and* Scott Haines was on my insurance plan. And the receptionist I spoke with brought a smile to my face! I made an appointment.
I came in for the first time and was treated like an old friend. Dr. Haines introduced himself to me and I explained what had happened (I’d been popping the right side of my jaw trying to make it stop or something and then it basically had locked up 5 months prior), explained the jaw stretching I’d been doing in the interim, and that I really was there for him to evaluate me and just let me know if there was any hope at all. He listened attentively, gave feedback, and got to work.
I revealed I’d never been to a chiropractor before, and that I’d been raised in a household in which chiropractors were seen as ‘fake doctors,’ a bias which had been mostly removed because my life partner goes to one. Scott absorbed all of that with geniality. He did amazing things to my jaw and gave me some homework stretches to do at home. He also did some back and neck adjustments given my tension (and a lingering issue with a frozen shoulder from last year) that ROCKED MY WORLD. I simply didn’t know what adjustments were until I underwent them.
I’m now continuing my exercises and will stay in touch. Dr. Haines’ professionalism and terrific ability to explain what is a complicated body part (the jaw) put me at ease and I’m so glad I found him and this practice in general.

Dr. Snell is a miracle worker. I visited my first time through a recommendation from a friend and she was right. Dr. Snell is a straight forward no-​nonsense chiropractor who cares about getting his patients better, not getting repeat customers.
I bruised my tailbone about 4 years ago and couldn’t sit comfortably for several months until I saw Snell. Within four visits and some painful graston treatments he «saved my ass» literally and told me not to come back :)
Today I came in unable to breath with a pulled back muscle. 30 minutes after treatment I was almost ready to run home.
This place is awesome! Thanks Dr. Snell

Dr. Chaser was amazing!

Loved my massage here. Very friendly, professional, peaceful space. Would highly recommend.

I love this place. Since I moved to Portland I’ve been taking my baby to see Dr. Hosseinion and he is just wonderful — what you want in a doctor: wise, honest, down-​to-​earth, great with babies. He definitely has his patient’s best interest at heart… My father is a physician and these are his attributes, so I always endeavor to find the same in any doctor I see.
Last weekend, I got a massage at Hawthorne Wellness because I’ve been having back issues. The massage therapist, Carly Samish, did a wonderful job. I walked home relaxed, floaty, and my back feels better.
Coming from the East Village, NYC, I really appreciate having a wellness center like this available to me. It is a warm, caring environment, and things are run efficiently and kindly. If this kind of health care was the norm, America would be a happier, healthier place.

About a week ago, I went into the Hawthorne Wellness Center for a routine check up and adjustment. I was greeted by a friendly and efficient receptionist who was very helpful and answered my questions. The ambiance in the Hawthorne Wellness Center creates a feeling of health, cheerfulness, and calm. I was a little nervous before I arrived but once I got there, I felt very comfortable. Dr. Bruce Chaser answered my questions and evaluated my health. After 14 years of having a dizzy head from two acoustic neuroma surgeries, I was stunned to discover that after my adjustment that I was no longer dizzy. Not only did I feel better generally, but the added benefit of not being dizzy was an unexpected and most welcome result of an adjustment by a professional. Dr. Chaser followed up my visit with a phone call the next day. What a nice touch! I highly recommend Dr. Chaser and his staff of caring and knowledgeable professionals. I will be returning on a regular basis.

I am a wimp, that’s all there is to it. I had been in pain for days and the only way to make it feel better was to lay down. After much convincing from my boyfriend I decided to seek out a chiropractor. Thanks to my insurance and Unilocal reviews I decided to come here.
The office staff is so friendly and welcoming and everything is very clean. After expressing to Bruce Chaser (the chiropractic physician I saw), my anxiety over being there he explained how everything would go. He was very good at explaining to me everything that he was doing and why and made sure I was comfortable the whole time. After being zapped and adjusted I walked out of there, standing and little straighter, and with a lot less anxiety over going back.
If you are in the market for a good chiro, or a wellness center I would recommend coming here… worth the trip and the anxiety for me :)

I was having some stress induced pain and saw Dr. Haines. He made me feel really comfortable, listening to what I had to say. He was able to make me feel better and based off that I would recommend him to anyone. A couple weeks ago I was in a car accident and suffered some major back and neck pain. Without hesitation I called the next day I was in the office. He was amazing! He took the time to identify every sore muscle and every place I needed adjustment. I didn’t feel rushed and I felt like he really cared. He took the time to show me how to avoid further damage and pain.
Oh, and the people at the front desk are always welcoming in person and on the phone.

We went to go see Dr. Sharam Hossenion (a.k.a. Shay) here because our daughter had an ear infection. We were from out of town and she had never seen a doctor before. It was the strangest thing because he rode up on his skate board and invited us up to his «office» and then for almost 45 minutes he treated us like human beings. He talked to us, joked with the kids and gave helpful advise. At the end we paid him $ 90 or so (because we didn’t have insurance) and it was the best $ 90 I’ve ever spent in PDX. I wanted to go back the next day. Maybe we’ll send the kids to daycare to get them sick.

I started seeing their resident natureopath Dr. Owens in July of ’09. I love this place! The front desk staff are always extremely nice, and the facility is very clean and inviting. Dr. Owens takes the time to genuinely listen to my health concerns, then we work together to create a plan that works for me that I can stick to.
This is my first time going to an «alternative medicine» facility and was a little skeptical that I may be prescribed a pet rock or something (I’m only half-​way joking), however much to my surprise, this place is fantastic and I couldn’t be happier.
When it came time to see the Chiropractor, this was my obvious choice. I got set up with Dr. Chaser and again, I received stellar service and ease with scheduling appointments!
I will continue to go here for all my preventative care.

I had the pleasure of going to get some acupuncture done after a long stint away from the art of eastern wellness… and boy I was very pleased to return to it with someone like Taya. Very kind, fun to talk to, listens intently to what’s going on with the bod. I really just don’t feel like I could have asked for more. She really cares about what she’s doing and wants me to be as healthy as I can be… and it all just makes so much sense that I don’t understand why it took me so long to return. Sometimes I can be not so bright… and I’m okay with admitting that. But I don’t like to do that very often… it won’t happen again.
