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.

A good HEART
I felt as though I was confiding in a friend. Dr. Iwan is competent and kind.

Dr. Iwan was very professional, informative, open and compassionate. She had reviewed my chart prior to my visit and knew the information she needed to give me at my initial visit. At my procedure, she communicated every step with me, making sure I understood what she was doing and made adjustments according to my response. She provided excellent care in an efficient and straight forward way, very professional and caring. I would choose her as my provider and refer other potential clients to her and to Restore PDX.

I suffer from lower back problems. After talking with me Dr. Iwan suggested injections. I went in and had the procedures. My pain has reduced significantly. I am extremely happy with the results. I would highly recommend Dr. Iwan.

I've been dealing with neck and back pain for several years. I tried chiropratic treatment and just never got better. I knew I had to do something different. I was referred to RestorePDX to seek a different type of treatment. After a visit with Dr. Iwan and injections, things are going great! I'm improving and I'm back to playing golf and other physical activities. She's changed my life for the better. I believe in Dr. Iwan and am so grateful to her.

Dr Iwan has always shown compassion, and understanding. She takes the time to explain procedures thourougly and any questions I may have. I came to Dr. Iwan after multiple back surgeries and working with my back surgeon it became apparent another surgery was not an option. Dr. Iwan is setting up a plan of injections and possible spine stimulation to ease the pain along with referring me to physical therapy to help with my balance and strength in my legs.

Has been an amazing asset for my chronic back pain. I have Lumbar disc Pain, facet arthritis, and si joint pain. Her injections with regenerative medicine have been a game changer. No surgery, and I’ve lost 40 lbs because I can exercise and Peleton regularly. And that helped motivate me to eat better, etc. I feel 20 years younger. Ty Dr I!

Ok I wrote the great review which I wish I could change. There was a couple I rode up with on the elevator for my appt. She was struggling and they went ahead of me. No one was at front desk. She was new so they had to get special papers. When I was finally checking in they said I was a minute late and I had to reschedule. I have had radiation damage to my neck. No meds. She did steriod shots which made my pain worst. I will never return. UNACCEPTABLE!

Excellent physician. Compassionate and caring. Dealing with chronic pain it can be difficult to find empathy in most people. Quite the opposite in Dr. Iwan’s case...I am lucky to have been able to see her. I hope all those who struggle with pain can see someone as caring and knowledgeable as this doctor. Highly recommend her to anyone!

Scarey doctor who has NO empathy, compassion, professionalism or even knowledge of pain or its effect on people. This lady is a junior doc and she is totally cold and callous. I do not trust her at all. VERY TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE.
