Merritt Health & Wellness

"Former happy client discharged from the clinic after they sent me to collections for $128. Not only did this happen without my knowledge, i didn’t find out until I reached out for a refill for my life saving mental health meds. From my understanding it’s common practice to at least prescribe 3 months of meds while someone finds a new doctor. They would only give me one month and said good luck. “Better start calling now to find someone new who can write your prescriptions.” Beyond disappointed as I was a client in good standing wasn’t trying to not pay, been dealing with my husband and his 8 surgeries this year. Seems I’m not the only one discharged from this clinic. Good luck to anyone still here and I won’t be referring this business to anyone but instead will be telling them to steer clear. Oh and if you’re in mental health crisis they will simply send you links to 988 but clearly not care if you’re in crisis or what your outcome might be. Be ware of this business. Also they make you pay through PayPal and not easy to use any HSA or any other type of payment. Their system and billing manager is a joke and not nice or understanding."

"Update: They fired me as a patient for writing this review! Original: “Another great place if you’re white straight cis abled and rich. I loved my queer doctor who used to work here. Now it just feels like the portland legacy white men’s club complete with rude entitlement. They failed to update my home address despite me filling out the paper work and then sent bills to my old address and didn’t try to reach me by phone or email, then sent a collections threat for a $60 bill. Who does that? Let’s ruin people’s credit for $60. Nope. Now they aren’t replying to my response. Also the math on these reviews does not check out. A number of 1 star reviews somehow not affecting the overall average. Finally, the responses from Seth on here are just gaslighting boilerplate. Why is he talking about verbal abuse toward staff in response to a comment about the rudeness OF staff? Nice try.” UPDATE: I started with Ali, who is great, but the white men fired me as a patient. STILL didn’t have the right address and sent it to the old one certified mail so I had to make the extra trip to the post office to get fired by my dr office in these times when it’s very hard to find a primary care doctor, especially as a queer, trans, neurodivergent person. It’s no surprise that the non cis white men at this clinic have great reviews, and most of the good reviews for the merritts are from assumably cis male clients. The Merritts should retire and sell the practice for $1 to the women who work there and know how to treat people."

"Have been coming here since 2014 and have seen nearly all the providers. They tend to be more on the woo woo side of things with supplements and such, but I prefer that more than having tons of meds pushed. Lindsey has really helped me resolve SIBO issues after a bad raw oyster infection that sent me to the hospital. I get most of my care here and they all have good bedside manner and skill level. Big props to them for taking OHP as well, I have employer insurance now but back in 2014 I really needed to find a decent clinic on OHP which is hard to find. I love that it's in this cute house in Sellwood as well."

"Absolutely the best health care I have ever received. I feel heard, and am able to discuss my concerns and care options without feeling railroaded into things. I appreciate that Seth is always learning new things about treatments for health issues and doesn't just rest on the same old "take two of these and call me in the morning" care ideas of the past. I love being able to schedule appointments online day or night, and Seth has always been very punctual in answering my questions via email when needed. I am very thankful to have found such an excellent provider to help me."

"Seth Merritt has been my doctor since 2013 and I could not be happier with him. He is a true professional and one of those doctors who really cares about my outcomes on a personal level. He is constantly looking to find me the least expensive treatment options, and gives great follow-up care. His online appointment system is a so easy to use and he has been very helpful to me in navigating the tangled mess that is our billing system in the US. I highly recommend him!"
