Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I have been a patient of Dr. Cekleniak’s for over 15 years…..she is amazing!! She listens to you and truly cares about her patients and their wellbeing. I really miss her since she has left InterMed and hope to learn where she is practicing so I can move over to her

An outstanding physician and person
I've been a patient with Dr. Cekleniak for almost 15years. And can say that she is by far one of the best! Intelligent, caring, and respectful. A true credit to the medical profession. We are fortunate to have her in the Portland area..

I have been a patient for more than a decade. Dr. Cekleniak is calm, smart and intuitive. I never feel rushed and I have never seen the doctor as anything less than focused on what I am saying. When I was quite ill I felt all the As an older man my only concern is that she will leave medicine before I leave this earth. I hope not.

Dr Cekleniak is the worst doctor I've ever met with. She was ill-informed, condescending, and shared factually incorrect "medical" information. Her dislike for her patients was palpable. I walked out of the office and requested to be assigned to a new doctor immediately. If you are seeking basic medical care, let alone informed current best practices and compassionate care, she is NOT the doctor for you. Intermed is can be a great practice, just choose a different doctor to have that experience. I wouldn't wish her on my worst enemy.

I’ve been with Dr. Cekleniak for the better part of 13 years. She is the best Dr. I’ve ever had. She is very smart, but also she clearly stays current either through continuing education, medical journals or both. She knows about some of the mental health issues one of my kids contends with and always asks about all of my family members by name. Very thorough, and very caring.

Terrible bedside manner and no care for what you have to say. If you require medical care of even the most basic kind find a different doctor fast. She doesn’t listen and most certainly doesn’t care about your health outcomes. The absolute worst doctor I’ve ever seen.

Absolutely no personal connection between Dr and patient. Your just another number to herd through.
