Samantha Stuart DC, PC

Lissie, Dr Stuart, and Sylvia were fantastic in helping me heal from a car accident. Lissie went out of her way to look up methods to get me able to use my hand again. all amazing. Now that the cases isnt going i miss them!

I have been a patient of Dr. Stuart’s for nearly nine years.
At first, my work hours and assignment locations (north central Portland) allowed me greater convenience to select flexible appointments. Later, when my hours and work location (I’m in Beaverton now) moved me further away and sometimes limited my choice of appointment times, I ignored the advice of many of my friends telling me to locate a closer Chiropractor and stayed with Dr. Stuart; her being the ONLY reason or need for me to come into Portland (from west Beaverton to east Portland).
I tell you this because she is the genuine article. She’s worth my trip. One thing she won’t do is toot her own horn. She plays it off, but she cares a great deal about her clients care and well being. Dr. Stuart is meticulous and compassionate in getting to the root of your discomfort and finding the cause. She also respects her patient’s privacy.
She is prompt with her appointments; your time with her IS your time; she doesn’t double or triple book like some offices. She works the neck, head, spine and hips and has even done some TMJ work on me; doing wonders for my pain management! She has a modified schedule (closed Thursdays but open Saturdays) to help accommodate those with weird schedules.
Her office also utilizes several Licensed Massage Therapists if the need (and your insurance covers) arises. Sorry, it’s not just the Doc; they also work miracles by the hour as well. (I’m coping with the idea that my favorite therapist is leaving someday soon to become one of our nation’s BEST nurses… so proud!)
She bills some insurance (you’ll need to call, I don’t know who). I’ve seen worker’s comp cases come in, but since it wasn’t any of my business, I didn’t pay any attention; I can’t tell you about what is and isn’t accepted.
Give Dr. Stuart a call. Stop in and give her a chance. It says «Appointment Only» below, which is mostly true. Sometimes they have cancellations and they may be able to fit you in… keep in mind
Then find out if your insurance covers the massage with it. If not, see if you can handle that part of the cost.
The SMARTEST THING in pain management I’ve ever seen was to have a Massage Therapist in a Chiropractor’s office. They go together like peanut butter and jelly. Give Amanda, Lissa (short for Melissa) or Sylvia a chance to work out the rest of the kinks before or after your adjustment. YOU’LL GET HOOKED!
(this is my opinion. Dr. Stuart did not ask for this review.)
