Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Ordered many varied tests + referrals>found cause
Dr Wanchu went after all the information we could get through tests and seeing other specialists to find out what could be wrong and what we could do about it. I greatly appreciate his dedication.

So disappointing
Waited 8 months for this appointment only to be given 20 minutes of his time. I was diagnosed in January and I know as much now about RA as I did then, which is not very much. I was really hoping for some good medical advice but all I got was prednisone.

Dr. Wanchu always takes the time to be certain I understand the process we are taking to attempt to get my RA in remission. He has a very kind and empathetic manner with his patients. I always feel confident and included in the decisions about my care and that he strongly advocates for his patients.

Dr. Manchu is the FIRST doctor I have ever had at the age of 32, to spend so much time with me and ask any/every question to get to know my situation and condition. I have SLE and Discoid Lupus as well as Alopecia Areata. He is kind, knowledgeable and has wonderful bedside manner. I've seen many doctors since my initial diagnosis prior to being referred to OHSU. I have anxiety about doctors offices in general too. I felt comfortable at my visits and confident in his care plan. Highly recommended
