Olga is fantastic! Compassionate, funny, and eager to provide quality care, and conscious of the patient's time and expenses. Absolutely a joy to work with. I'm almost disappointed that I won't need to see her over a year...almost. :)

Very caring! Dr Senashova explained the procedure thoroughly before she began. During the procedure, she talked me through it as she worked and let me know how much longer the needle would be removed between every aspiration. She calmed my fears and informed me about the time frame for results of the biopsy and my risk factor. She was wonderful!

- Sep 19, 2019
Dr. Senashova was dismissive of my concerns, overstated the likelihood of side effects from a procedure I have been attempting to pursue, refused to listen to my experiences and symptoms, and attempted to blame my symptoms on a possible iron overload because my hematocrit is 1% above the standard range."If I do this procedure you'll be my patient for a really long time and you'll be upset that you had your thyroid removed" congrats I won't be your patient anymore.
- Sep 19, 2019

I, very very much liked Olga.

So I just, I thought that she was just great.

Olga was very comfortable and knowledgeable. She explained things completely and answered all my questions. She was caring in the way she did the biopsy, making sure I understood what was going on.Liza, her assistant, was also very conscientious. At the end of the procedure I wanted to just rest and take a short nap -- Liza figured out a way for me to do this (in a different room) and it really made my day more pleasant after the stress of the procedure. Thanks to both of them.

Yesterday was my first experience being seen at your clinic and it was like a breath of fresh air. I came in with a list that I had compiled, ready to plead my case, but it was not needed. My well being seemed to be of the utmost importance to Dr. Senashova. This had not been my experience with other providers. It was a refreshing experience and I now understand why OHSU comes so highly recommended. Thank you.

I was seen in the timely fashion after my ultrasound, and all my labs were taken care of, and the doctor was very prompt in seeing me. I didn't spend very much time at all in the office.
