Get a referral there. I suggest John Nutt, as he seems to be where one
usually starts, but your doctor can confer with his office. We were way too
far for him. this is a caring, thoughtful department. Here are some
addresses;
503-494-8070--this is Dr Burchiel's number, the head of
neurology and a fine neuro-surgeon. They will forward your call. Dr. nutt is
in the same complex.Address: 3181 S.W. Sam jackson Park Road Portland
97201-3098. Now, make the connection and they will send you brochures,
maps,etc. We stay at the Red Lion downtown. They have a hospital fee.You can
always taxi up. I mean up--up Pill Hill as it is called. If you do drive,
remember your parking tag, so it can be stamped, otherwise it is $5.00 an hour!!
So: do it, today. These guys are increasingly busy, but a doctor to
doctor call is what you need..Regards. Thea and Gordon Seese
Any cost questions, merely ask the Billing Department. They know
everything. Everything is tax deductible, except food. guess the IRS figures
we have to eat, anyway..
