Dr. Douglas Austin, MD

In my first surgery in 2016, Doctor Austin gave me an air embolism! He didn’t keep the fibroid he was removing fully submerged which sent air straight to my heart. Then in June of 2019 he was to remove another fibroid, discovered in surgery it had grown inside the uterine wall. Instead of stopping at that point Doctor Austin decided WITHOUT my person to perform uterine ablation! This was NEVER discussed prior to surgery as a plan B! A good doctor would NEVER do ANYTHING to your body without your permission! Doctor Austin convinced me he had done it in my best interest. Then he recommended a laparoscopic vaginally assisted hysterectomy. I put my trust into him regrettable again and did the operation in October of 2019. During this surgery he put a very large hole in my intestine! The hole was so LARGE that a specialist was required to do the repair! I have to live everyday of my life now with over 50 staples in my intestine and daily pain because of Doctor Austin’s poor surgical skills!

Dr Austin spent great quality time explaining to myself and my husband about hormone replacement therapy, the pros and cons. He was full of knowledge and a great listener. I would highly recommend Dr. Austin. I look forward to my follow up appointment(s) with him.

Dr. Austin has been very kind to us in conducting regular tests himself and giving appropriate decision right away. Specially, happy with his decision of embryo transfer regardless of numbers. All we need is one baby. It's always better to try if there are more than two embryos and they are handled in lab carefully. It was devastating for us when our doctor in another state stopped the process suddenly and left us with the feeling of loosers and hopelessness. Hope all goes well until week 10.

Dr. Austin told me I would not be able to have biological children and donor eggs were my only option. We got pregnant naturally after working with (1) an integrative medicine doctor & a naturopath who helped me discover my extreme food allergies (once I removed the allergic food and added supplements my AMH and AFC counts came up) & (2) a reproductive endocrinologist at OHSU who prescribed medication to bring down my slightly elevated prolactin (which had been shortening my luteal phase.)

Couldn’t be any better in my opinion. Excellent bedside manner as well as being highly knowledgeable. He takes extended periods of time to listen and consult with you about all the options. He really seems to care and is passionate about what he does. I don’t have a single negative thing to say about him.

His complete dedication to my gynecological and infertility care is astounding. His deeply intuitive medical expertise as well as state of the art office facility are the cornerstone to my healing. My daughter turns 18 this year and after careful monitoring by Dr. Austin I had a full term pregnant. Never give up hope !

This doctor is just interested in making money, he will gladly take your money and will advise all kind of procedures which will all fail and then his excuse would be that he has no idea why they failed. His office manager is cold and her excuse is too bad patient did not know better. Look for someone who will take due care and is up to speed to latest treatment plans because this doctor is not. He is the only one in the area, that is why he has patients and he does his best to exploit this sit

Stay away from this doctor, he will gladly take your money and will advise all kind of procedures which will all fail and then his excuse would be "I do not know why it did not work". His office manager is cold and when you resolve issues with her, she will say "too bad, you did not do your homework". Look for someone who will take due care and is up to speed to latest treatment plans because this doctor is not. He frequently mis diagnosis the real cause because he is greedy.

Dr. Austin is the best physician I have seen for ANY speciality. Period. From first meeting my husband and I had with him, to my laparoscopy, to treatment, he has always made us feel comfortable. His whole team is top notch. Thank you Dr. Austin for making this tough time a little easier!
