About Carriage House Medicine

What is Carriage House Medicine?

Carriage House Medicine is a naturopathic family practice in Gresham, Oregon. Its one named prescriber is Dr. Jennifer Reid, who holds a doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine (N.D.). The practice offers five services: Naturopathic Family Medicine, Bioidentical Hormone Therapy, Natural Treatment for Depression & Anxiety, Bowen Therapy, and a Far Infrared (FIR) Sauna. Dr. Reid is certified to practice Bowen Therapy.

In its own words: "Dr. Reid utilizes bioidentical hormones to help patients achieve balance as they age." Nothing published says which hormones are used or how levels are checked.

Two street addresses appear for the practice, both in Gresham, so ask which office you will be seen at. It names Gresham, Portland and Oregon City as the places it treats patients. On Google it is rated 5 from 111 reviews, under the category Naturopathic practitioner. It is accepting new patients.

This listing is for its Gresham office at 60 NW 2nd St.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices. No consultation fee is given, and it does not say whether it accepts insurance. Nothing says whether medication, lab work or follow-up visits are included in any fee. Call 503-492-9427 and ask for the new-patient visit fee, the follow-up visit fee, and whether it bills insurance or takes cash only.

What should you ask before you book?

New patients are asked to call rather than book online. Existing patients book online. Ask who writes and signs any hormone prescription, and whether that will be Dr. Reid. Ask whether the hormones are brand-name or compounded, and who makes them. Ask what the first visit, lab tests and follow-ups cost, and how often labs will be needed.

The practice links to an online pharmacy, Fullscript. Ask whether you must buy supplements or medication through it, and what they cost. Telehealth is not mentioned, so ask whether visits can be done by video. No office hours are published, so ask when each office is open. Ask how to cancel or reschedule, and whether sauna or Bowen sessions are sold in packages and refunded if unused.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a naturopathic family doctor in the Gresham area who also offers hormone therapy, and you are prepared to pay out of pocket until you know what insurance will cover. If you are looking for a prescription weight loss program, ask about it before you book. None is listed, though weight loss comes up often in its blog posts.
