Upcoming Changes to the Practice

4/1/2019

0 Comments

 
It is with very mixed emotions that I write to you to share that I will be transitioning out of private practice and into a staff acupuncture position at the Portland VA Medical Center in May 2019. This is a brand new position in their Pain Clinic, which will provide me with the opportunity to introduce acupuncture to Veteran’s with chronic pain in an integrative team setting working alongside medical doctors, psychologists and counselors, physical therapists, nutritionists and others as part of the VA’s new Whole Health initiative. Being an Army Veteran myself, I look forward to this new chapter in my career. But it is not without much sadness that I’ll be making this change, thanks in large part to you all, the wonderful patients I’ve had the pleasure to work with over the last six years at Alberta Street Acupuncture Clinic.
 
I will not be leaving you all without care, however, as I’m excited to announce that I’ve hired Mallory Harman, LAc. to assume my practice at Alberta Street Acupuncture starting on April 30th. I’m very excited to welcome Mallory to the clinic – she earned her Masters of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (MAcOM) degree from the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine and is currently licensed to practice acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine in Oregon and Montana. Following graduation, Mallory spent four months working as an Acupuncturist and Primary Care Provider with the Acupuncture Relief Project, a non-profit organization providing medical support to underserved rural communities in Nepal. There she not only gained unique and invaluable experience, she was touched by the community and deeply reminded of the importance of trust, connection, and compassion in each of her patient visits. Read her blog post. She then traveled to Juárez, Mexico where she spent one week teaching and working with Promotores Descalzos (barefoot health promoters), a local school in the borderlands serving their community through acupuncture, safe spaces, and community support. 
 
Mallory often treats using an orthopedic approach (looking at structural changes and gathering information through objective testing), while also choosing points and other therapies to support the person constitutionally and energetically. She loves to incorporate cupping, gua sha, and massage into her treatments when warranted. She believes in an integrative approach, often requesting to look over medical records and consult with other medical providers when necessary. Please visit our website to learn more about her.
 
Mallory will be working on Tuesdays from 10:30am-7pm, Thursdays from 9am-4pm, and Saturdays from 11am-5pm. ***Please know that the transition will not affect the cost for your care.*** If you have been using insurance for your treatments, your insurance plan will continue without interruption when you see Mallory. If I have been treating you on a cash-basis, that will also continue ahead without change. 
 
Thanks for the many years of allowing me to be a part of your healthcare team.
 
With immense gratitude,
 
Stephanie Gregory, LAc.

Fall Season and New Clinic Hours

9/6/2017

0 Comments

 
As we leave behind our unseasonably hot summer and transition to fall, it’s a wonderful time to reconnect with the rhythms of nature. Just as the trees drop their leaves and nature lets go of its’ excesses in preparation for the colder, darker days ahead, fall provides an opportunity for humans to evaluate our routines. It’s a time establish and affirm activities that benefit and nourish our bodies and souls, letting go of habits that are superfluous or unhealthy.
 
And for many of us, myself included, fall also brings the start of a new school year! Soon I will return to my position as adjunct professor at Oregon College of Oriental Medicine teaching Anatomy to first-year Chinese medical students. From September through June of the 2017-2018 academic year, I will be teaching on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings, and Thursdays.
 
Starting September 13th, my clinical practice schedule at Alberta Street Acupuncture Clinic will adjust to accommodate the teaching schedule as follows:
 
Tuesdays 12pm-7pm
Wednesdays 2pm-6pm
Thursdays OFF
Fridays 11am-7pm
Saturdays 9:30am-2:30pm
 
To schedule an appointment, feel free to call me directly at 503-893-5711, or visit the appointments page for online scheduling. I’m looking forward to helping you maintain your healthcare routine this fall.

Exciting News!

​I took some time off last month to marry my partner of four years - hooray! With our marriage I have changed my name to Stephanie Gregory. I also have a new business web address reflecting the change, www.stephaniegregorypdx.com, though my old web address will continue to forward to the new address for the forseeable future.

I am also happy to share that I recently took an Adjunct Faculty position at Oregon College of Oriental Medicine here in downtown Portland, teaching first-year Master’s degree students human anatomy. With this new teaching position, my private practice hours at Alberta Street Acupuncture Clinic have changed a bit, to include adding a full day of appointments available on Saturdays.
 
My private practice schedule for the September 2016 – June 2017 academic calendar is as follows:
Tuesdays 10am-7pm
Wednesday 9am-1pm
Fridays 10am-7pm
Saturdays 9am-3pm
 
Rest assured with these new hours, I still have plenty of availability to see lots of patients. As always, you’re welcome to schedule with me online via my website, or by phone at 503-893-5711. And don’t forget, the best time to boost your immune system before the flu-season is during the fall!
 
In health,
Stephanie (Grant) Gregory, MAcOM, LAc.
