My wife Has been suffering from a case of shingles. This was spotted by our son, who is a nephrologist doctor at OHSU in Portland Oregon, when we arrived for a visit. He referred us to another doctor there who prescribed a one-week antiviral course which she completed today. Because her case had improved but not completely resolved, we visited the Manzanita Adventist clinic this morning to see if she should renew the antiviral course, seek an alternative medication, or just get something to relieve the sharp headaches associated with the shingles. The visit was extremely pleasing from beginning to end. The staff hotel with her on arrival, were pleasant and efficient and there was not a long wait time before she could be seen by extremely competent medical personnel. The first, hall asked preliminary questions as physician assistance or similar personnel generally do before one sees a doctor, was an EMT and very good. After the preliminaries, my wife was seen by an outstanding, extremely knowledgeable and competent nurse practitioner named Lee, whom we thought must be all fall scale medical doctor because he was so good. He was very careful and thorough in examining my wife and asking questions about when the illness began, what had been the symptoms, and in checking for any possible other issues besides the shingles. He recommended against renewal of the antiviral because of potential side effects of longer term use and because her case was resolving satisfactorily. He prescribed a steroid to deal with the pain, saying that he thought it preferable to opiates. Everything about him was impressive. On hearing my wife’s report on the visit and Lee’s prescription decisions, our doctor/professor son fully concurred. Based on this visit, I would rate this medical facility A-1!!!
