Civil Surgeon Portland Or. Area (I need)

[Chuckles 0]

I am having a problem finding a Civil Surgeon in the Portland Oregon area who understands that my wife does not need another physical exam and just needs the I-693a supplement. I am not interested in paying 170 dollars for this unnecessary exam.

Does anyone know of, or have experience with a Civil Surgeon who will not insist on doing an exam and will just fill out my I-693a?

Yes, I totally understand and was frustrated with the system too. I too came on a K1 and phoned all the doctors who do this around Oregon (I'm very close to Portland). Here is the fellow that I went to and he only charged me $5 for the supplement to be transferred since I had the Ds - 3025 document with me from my Canada medical there.

He is:

Dr. Al Torres

2220 NW Pettygrove Street

Portland, OR

97210

(503)224-0103

You can phone if you want but you don't need to set up an appt. You just show up on either Thursdays or Fridays with your immunization record/ or immunization worksheet that you got from your own country and he will transfer it onto a I-963A for you right away. He was extremely nice and very helpful and knew almost every language of all the people that were in the waiting room. Go between the hours of 8am-11am and 1pm-4pm (I went at 1pm and didn't have any prob getting it done within the hour).

Also, there is one other doctor that I called that just did the supplement but it was for $35 and you droped off all your documents and picked them up a couple days later - that doc is:

Dr. Michael J. O'Neill

356 SE Ninth Ave

Hillsboro, OR 97123

(503)693-9050

But i didn't go to him, so i don't know any of the details. I would have rather been there and waited in person. I didn't phone anywhere in central or eastern OR because i don't live around there so you can always phone around there too. But DO NOT pay $170 for the supplement - you don't have to get the whole medical done again if it hasn't been a year!

Sorry for it being so drawn out of a response, but it just annoys me about how rediculous these doctors try to scam people.

Good Luck.

No Problem, I knew how daunting it was trying to find a doc here! I was almost at the end of my string - I just didn't understand why it was so hard to find one! :wacko:

Glad I was able to help out. Good luck with the rest of your journey. Plus, it is sunny outside so I am a little more on my toes!

I had all my vaccinations done at my regular doctors, and then went to see Dr F. Douglas Day, who charged $50 to check all the forms, transcribe my UK vaccination record, and the ones i had when i arrived in the US, to the I-693 form, then sign it all off for $50. I took all forms in, was asked to come back in 30 mins, and it was ready and waiting for me to collect. Very efficient, i think it was worth spending the money for piece of mind. The receptionist is very helpful!

They also offer a full range of vaccinations, but mostly i found it was cheaper to go to a pharmacy or a family doctors clinic for those.

Hello...this is an information for people who live in Portland and around.

I talked to Dr A. Torres and he told me he had a terrible accident and he is not working to USCIS anymore at least so far.

I got my vaccination report in Salem and the Dr. Howard Tsang only charged $20. It was fast.

This is the completed information:

Salem Occupational Health Clinic

Dr. Howard Tsang

2168 Lancaster Drive NE

Salem, Or, 97305

Good luck!!

This very old thread is being closed to further comment, in favor of the following reasoning. The information in the two posts just above has been posted in the master "Civil Surgeons Who Don't Rip You Off" thread:

In addition, another (more recent) Portland-related thread has been merged into the master thread.

The outcome of this reorganizing is that options for the Portland/Salem area are now posted in the master thread. Thanks to all the area contributors for their intrepid research.
