Insurance

Before scheduling an appointment

  1. Check your network. If you have health insurance,  call your company to find out if the OHSU Health location or provider you plan to visit is part of your network.
  2. Ask what you will pay. Your insurance company can tell you what your costs are likely to be.

If you schedule an appointment and your health insurance does not include OHSU Health, you may have to pay more than if you go to a provider in your insurance network.

  1. Explained everything very clearly, and made sure I was comfortable. He was explaining the procedure to his assistant who was watching, and it was very informative and calming.

  2. Doctor was very friendly but also very professional. Laid out all my options in a very understandable and understanding way.

  3. Very short visit, got the info I came in for

  4. Great, and the student who also attended was very compassionate.

  5. Keep up. The excellent job taking care of everyone like me

  6. Very competent and knowledgable. Has done multiple procedures on myself and has done outstanding work.

  7. He remembered me from the last surgery he did for me over 5 years ago and listened and addressed my concerns moving forward.

  8. The wait time was minimal. The X-ray tech was very pleasant and kind. Dr. Nazir's staff were also kind and helpful, and Dr. Nazir was right on time and explained things very well. A very good experience. I was especially pleased with how quickly I was able to get in and the clinic itself is very peaceful. Even free parking.

  9. Great bedside manner

  10. Positive and efficient

  11. Amazing

  12. Excellent

  13. Dr Nowzir is fantastic. He did my hand surgery 2+ yrs ago & I am very happy he will do my shoulder replacement.

  14. Thank you so very much

  15. Doctor was not professional,not interested in reviewing my mri said they were too complicated, said he thought imaging useless, anyone on the street would have the same problem. Said I should kick the can down the road awhile. Useless appointment

  16. I FELT DR. WAS VERY QUALIFIED AND IT WAS FASCINATING TO WATCH PROCEDURE.

  17. It was very rutean visit with no needed followup that they got me in quickly for and I was done at the time set for the appointment, which I appreciated.

  18. Super, all around. Great folks, professional, compassionate. 10/10

  19. Very professional and nice.

  20. They were familiar with my situation, had reviewed transferred documents, listened, and were clearly facile with the subject matter. Now, if you could just find someone to answer the phones; a recurring problem!

  21. He was and out in minutes

  22. Had a good conversation with Dr. Nazir. But, next step is a nerve study and I wasn't able to schedule it until November. Kind of in a holding pattern until then so needing to continue physical therapy and wearing a brace.

  23. Fast effective clear diagnosis using MRI images.

  24. Very efficient and friendly, a bit rushed.

  25. He listened carefully to my description of my symptoms. Asked questions. Discussed options. He was easy to talk with. When we decided on a steroid injection it was quick and painless.

  26. Arrogant, imperious and totally lacking in empathy and bedside manner. I left feeling that he was not interested in my case due to the risk of sustaining another stroke. On his way out he waved his hand and said, it's up to you, I'm an exasperated tone. I will NEVER permit Nazir to operate on me. His staff on the other hand were nice and listened attentively to my issues.

  27. Have already recommended a friend to Dr. Nazir.

  28. Dr. Nazir was terriff!

  29. He was extremely friendly and efficient. He gathered all the info he needed, answered all my questions, and gave me a good idea of what to expect after treatment.

  30. Everyone was friendly, knowledgeable and understanding. I felt at ease!
