The Buddha's Medicine - Ayurveda and Integrative Medicine in Portland, Oregon 3310 Southeast Oak Street, Portland, OR 97214

"Beginning his care in March 2019, Dr. Van Auken has been my MD for over five years. He's helped me with a lifestyle change (no longer pre-diabetic), my BP is excellent, and my recent blood results were all normal, all without medication. The OMT methods he practices help me with chronic structural pain from a 1981 car accident when I was in chiropractic college. Chiropractic adjustments helped but didn't reach Dr. Matt's total releasing methods; there is a significant difference. I was also healed within 20 minutes of food poisoning, thanks to his healing touch with OMT. He listens to all patients with respect and concern for our health. At every appointment, I and all his patients receive his full attention and care. I feel younger and attribute my health to Dr. Matt's guidance, and I fully support all other recommendations. His expertise is beyond his age; I highly recommend him."

"I have been working with Dr. Matt Van Auken since mid-2023. I decided to consult him because he combines modern medicine and ancient wisdom for working with health challenges. Dr. Matt practices active listening, has a friendly, joyful nature and he brings a can-do attitude that I truly appreciate. Working with him has put me on the path to better health."

"Dr Matt is an incredibly gifted provider. His knowledge of integrated medicine makes him an outstanding candidate for clients whom suffer from chronic and acute difficulties. He treats the “whole” person and follows through with creativity and kindness. He is easy to understand and respectful of time. He is a true gem. I highly recommend Dr Matt."

"Dr. Matt Van Auken is a calming presence that was felt upon arrival. His office is located in quiet neighborhood near Laurelhurst Park. I felt like I was listened to and he was truly concerned about what has happened to me. He uses his experience and also dedicates his time to figure out what is the true underlying cause to help. I've never had a medical doctor be so thorough on intake before. If you feel like western medicine hasn't given you the answers you are looking for or are suffering from a chronic condition, I would highly recommend The Buddha's Medicine."

"I was referred to Dr. Matt by a friend and feel very fortunate to have found him. I needed support with an issue I have been dealing with for 25 years. With Dr. Matt I feel heard and like I can be myself In his presence. I have never experienced Ayurvedic medicine before and can tell you 100 percent that I am experiencing genuine healing and a return of vitality. Dr. Matt shows a deep respect and compassion in his practice and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone I know."
