About Oregon Natural Medicine

What is Oregon Natural Medicine?

Oregon Natural Medicine is a Portland practice that offers naturopathic medicine alongside hormone therapy. Its services are naturopathic medicine, digestive health, women's health, men's health, toenail treatment, low dose naltrexone, and hormonal health. The hormonal health services cover estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and thyroid hormone replacement. Google lists the practice as a naturopathic practitioner.

The one prescriber named is Dr. Ruthann Rees, MD, PhD. Telehealth consultations are offered, and for those the practice names Dr. John Reynolds, but no credentials are given for him. No street address is published, and no office hours are listed. Call (503) 946-8700 to confirm where in-person visits happen.

On hormones, the practice is direct. In its own words: "We only use compounded bioidentical hormones."

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices for hormone therapy or any other service. The one cost stated is a free consultation, which works in three steps: you select three possible times, the doctor confirms one, and then you have the consultation. It does not say whether insurance is accepted, and it does not say whether medication is included in any fee. Google reviewers give the practice 4.8 from 31 reviews, but a rating does not tell you what a course of care will cost.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs your prescription, especially if your first visit is by telehealth. Ask what credentials Dr. John Reynolds holds, since none are given for him.

Ask whether the monthly or per-visit fee includes medication, and what the compounded hormones cost on their own. Because the practice uses only compounded bioidentical hormones, ask whether a brand-name product is ever an option and what that would change.

Ask what the hormone tests cost, including the thyroid and adrenal testing it offers, how often they are repeated, and what follow-up visits cost.

If thyroid care interests you, ask how the natural thyroid replacement compares with levothyroxine, the synthetic option the practice names. Ask whether either one would be prescribed for you, and why.

Finally, ask whether insurance is accepted, and how you would cancel or pause care.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want naturopathic care alongside hormone therapy, can meet by telehealth or in Portland, and are comfortable calling to get prices and medication costs in writing before you commit. If you need a published price list before any contact, start by calling and see what they tell you.
