Oregon College of Oriental Medicine

Great staff. Great treatments. I would recommend them to anyone. Thanks guys. God bless you!

Appointment didn’t start on time and there was no water in the waiting room after a long after a long bike ride from the South Waterfront – I needed water to drink.
Receptionists were friendly. I had a student appt for 25 $ and since I think I have bronchitis, I was glad to be getting attention. Tamsin, intern student, did a lovely intake with me and her acupuncture was spot on. I floated and felt de-​stressed.
The herbal portion was 19 $ and when I went down to the dispensary, I was told it would take ½ hr. All I wanted to do was to go home so I will pick up the herbs tomorrow. All in all it was a wonderful experience, very calming, and I think I was listened to well and really enjoyed the intern and also her supervisor. I would suggest giving this place a try.:

I’m visiting from California and was attending the Dragon boat festival where Oregon College of Oriental Medicine had a free booth and offering free acupuncture. So myself and a friend par-​took of the experience. I’ve had acupuncture just a couple of times before, so I was familiar with the process a little, however my friend was not at all familiar with the process.
We were treated by Dr. Wen Jiang and an Asst. or Intern. Anyway, Dr. Jiang was very kind, friendly and informative. She was able to answer our questions and continued to address the numerous issues I kept reminding myself that I was ailing me.
Anyay, to make this some what quick, I was very pleased with the services provided. My friend felt comfortable with the process and came away with an open mind and a willingness to check it out in her own home state.
I would definitely become a patient here, if I lived here. Just try it out!

I’ve had several treatments by students here, and I’m always so impressed. They are clearly learning not only the medicine and how to treat ailments, but how to be compassionate and professional healers as well. I recommend both regular acupuncture appointments and the awesome (and inexpensive) massage options. The new clinic in Old Town is absolutely beautiful too!

I’ve been here for herbs several times, and although it can be a bit of a process (sometimes you have to go back and get your treatments adjusted until they find just the right formula), I’ve always had good results. Last Summer, I had an amazing herbal formula to take for my intense hay fever, and it was a lifesaver! I could actually function like a normal human despite the grass pollen in the air. I’ll be back this year to visit the herbal internship for my allergies.

OCOM is my bi-​weekly spot to regain my sanity. I come to detox myself from a night of over drinking, get needled and/​or messaged to ease the tension on my back from the 9 – 5, relieve my nerves and increase my focus to do well on the exams, or cure the cold I caught due to my hectic schedule and bad eating habits without the nasty side effects of western medication.
This place is ideal for those who are interested in Chinese alternative medicine or the seasoned vet whose been at it for years. The prices are highly reasonable due to it being a teaching clinic. The fees are on a sliding scale based on your income. However if you are a college student it is just a flat $ 20 fee per visit, not including herbs – if they are prescribed to you.
Keep in mind that this form of medicine has been around for hundreds of years, and although one can tell that the so-​called Western version of this Eastern secret is somewhat watered down if he/​she has had authentic treatment, one still should try it!
