Patient Reviews

I have seen a lot of doctors & medical facilities lately, after a nasty workplace accident. I was referred here for nerve conduction testing, which is basically being zapped repeatedly with small jolts of electricity, to see if your nerves are firing correctly. The tested area twitches and flops, and it can be really disconcerting.

Despite the factually gnarly medical experience, CPM clinic itself was really exemplary. Friendly, communicative, organized, patient, professional, timely & clean. Reception is fiercely illuminated & unmercifully air-conditioned. My cranky request for a copy of my AI intake chat was heard, and kindly fulfilled with a printout. (+$0.02, the chatbot summarizes incorrectly, just ignore the intake request and come in 15 min early for paperwork.)

I regret that I did not retain the name of the person who did the first part of my study. They deserve individual praise for a reassuring manner which was firmly compassionate & neutrally informative. I felt respected & cared-for while being electrocuted, a very specific & serious mood absolutely brought into the room by this person and their expertise. They also took time to correct my two-word referral, and properly record my symptoms & presentation before we began, which I really appreciated. Ankle tattoo, gray or silver hair.

Dr. Yoon has a cheerful manner, and is very forthright in a breezy sort of way. My questions were generally well-anticipated, expectations were calibrated, and due consideration was given to my specific case before we started the second part of the study. I was included in my treatment. Being repeatedly shallow-poked and listening while I clenched my muscles, felt a bit like we were doing a science project together. Initial impressions were shared immediately, and the final results were posted promptly.

My thanks to Dr. Yoon & CPM team, for making a hard thing easier.

The staff is amazing! They are caring and very professional! Highly recommend the Kyphoplasty procedure! In and out and high success rate. Pain free

I had severe lower back pain for almost 20 years. I finally got my procedure done yesterday and it's like day and night. I'm like a new man. Thank you Dr. Sarah Yoon!!!

I came here to get an EMG test done and I can’t say enough about how much I enjoyed the overall experience. The staff were so nice and down to earth. They were all such a pleasure starting from the front office ladies all the way to the doctors helping me during my testing. Also, for anyone that has to get the same test done and is wondering about if it hurts or not, for me, it was painless.

As a person dealing with more than one autoimmune and genetic issue that cause chronic pain, both Dr. Lee and Dr Yoon were able to evaluate and determine a starting point in a complicated treatment plan. If you're are looking for a clinic to just manage pain medication this is NOT the place for you. In my opinion.
Working towards an ablation of nerves that contributes to pain is my goal. The staff and doctors mentioned have been awesome in navigating complicated insurance requirements.

Every practitioner in this group provides exceptional care as does the front office. I have multiple issues that continue to improve and a better understanding thanks to their compassion.

Excellent care by everyone! Have gone to other pain management facilities and received great care but never quite got to pain relief that lasted more than 10 days - not so here! The faculty and doctors are all top notch! Highly recommend???

Physician assistant Mike in the Tualitan location was great. Dr. Yoon in Milwaukie was so kind and easy going during the procedure.
It is wonderful they offer sedatives for procedures.

I have been a patient of Laura Scobie for 4 years....treating my idiopathic progressive polyneuropathy. She has always been very professional, patient, understanding, and reasonable. She has an amazingly calm 'bed side manner' and you can tell She truly cares for her patients. There have been a few office personnel that I would say are not so good at patient care, but that is rare and does not sway me to give a lower review. At the end of the day, I am there for the doctor, and she is amazing.

I saw Dr. Yoon for a cortisone injection on my L4-L5 joint on the right side. I have suffered from nerve pain from a bulging disc there for a long time. Dr. Yoon was a really good provider, talked me through everything, and placed it very well. One day later I am already feeling relief.

Holly’s team is so professional and always greet me with a smile. I never wait more than a few minutes in the lobby and her MAs are friendly and knowledgeable. They are all a pleasure to work with.

I was previously treated at Columbia Pain Center for low back problems and I am now being treated for neck problems. Each time I have been greeted and treated with the utmost respect and care. I highly recommend this location to any and everyone experiencing chronic ongoing pain. Thank you Dr. Khemlani and staff for the wonderful treatment you have provided to me.

Words cannot express all the attributes of the staff at Columbia Pain.
Special kudos to Dr.K, my pain management specialist! No drugs, just locks/epidurals/and RFAs. I'm 83 yo and enjoying the least amount of pain in 30 years. In most area, with periodic procedures, I have 100% pain relief. This has kept me from invasive surgeries
A NW Orthopedic Spine Surgeon referred me to Columbia Pain.

Laura Scobie is a thoroughly professional counselor it has been my pleasure to work with. There is no doubt she has my well being in mind. I am very appreciative of this. Thanks Laura.

Dr. Yoon tended to my MRI and medical issues, professionally. She was respectful and willing to find common ground.

The pain management landscape is bumpy and difficult because of the recent opioid crisis in the States. It's difficult as a patient but it's also difficult as a medical professional. Additional, potentially misplaced responsibility is now placed on clinics. Medical professionals, in addition to managing and directing patient care, are also responsible for screening and investigating criminal drug pursuit before administering care. This can drive a wedge between the patient and their doctor.

Dr. Yoon at Columbia possesses the extraordinary qualities that true, bonafide Doctors tend to exhibit. She used intellect, kindness and maintained her confidence. Dr. Yoon exudes real Doctor qualities. Many doctors struggle to find the ground to work from when it comes to patients with chronic, severe pain. Dr. Yoon can help patients traverse this landscape. After many years of climbing an increasingly tall, dark, cold mountain all alone, finally, I feel like I might have found a real pro to help me manage the pain.

I have nothing less than success with my needs from the drs and staff. It's clean and friendly by all. Most get my sense of humor. I have recommended them several times. I would continue to do so.

I am a patient of Laura Scobie. She is an excellent provider She has treated me for multiple issues and understanding my adverse reactions to certain medications, found effective alternatives. I have a much better quality of life.

I went in to Columbia Pain Care extremely nervous and came out a very happy camper . Doctor K was the perfect doctor for me . I have a pinched nerve in my upper back , had my injection today and felt marvelous afterwards . Will definitely continue to see the professional and compassionate people at this office. Would very highly recommend these people for back care to everyone dealing with back problems if you want the best , Columbia Pain Care is the place for you!.

I had a 7:30. a.m. appointment for an epidural injection procedure. All of the staff were so kind and professional. Mila (PA?) was especially nice to meet. She was compassionate, knowledgeable, and thorough.

The injection was so gentle (not my first), and my nerves told me it was right on target, but not painfully so. I was also shown imaging of the procedure, which I really appreciated. Regretfully, I don't remember her name, but she was really skillful and gentle in how she did the injection. Minimal discomfort for me, and I chose local only, not sedation.

This is a place of healing. Highly recommend if you have a choice in PM providers, My back and leg thank you all for your help! 😊🥰 I especially appreciate that it will help me to experience some less painful time while I wait for my lumbar surgery to address the core problems.

It is a pleasure working with Amanda! She makes me feel comfortable and important. She goes over my tests/ treatment/ and prognosis skillfully and thoroughly. When I leave, I knowI can call Columbia Pain Management if I have any problems.

Very happy with my treatment here, Dr Yoon is very knowledgeable and also very caring, I enjoy our interaction very much and she does help me with my pain. She knows the answers

Dr. Khemlani is highly recommended and I am ever hopeful he can help me with my back issue!
He was delightful during my first visit and I was at ease immediately!

I started seeing Dr. Russo about 6 months ago after being treated by a spine specialist for 2 years without relief. I especially like that Dr. Russo has talked with me personally at every appointment, including a Telehealth session. The procedure I had 3 months ago is working as expected for someone my age (70's), and should accelerate when I start physical therapy next week. I'm looking forward to Dr. Russo's ongoing care!
