2BWell

The 2BWell Group was formed in 2002, and the clinic says it is one of the first acupuncture clinics established in the Portland Metro area. Founder Siamak F. Shirazi has practiced in Portland since 1995 and formed the group with the aim of changing how the public views complementary and alternative medicine in the United States. The clinic describes its team as highly trained, and its staff includes naturopathic physicians, licensed acupuncturists and a licensed massage therapist.

Care is built around the individual. Each patient gets a care plan based on their needs, goals and circumstances, and the team aims to treat the whole person rather than only symptoms. Clinicians build long-term relationships so they can understand each patient's health over time. Preventive care and maintenance are central to the approach, and the clinic says its core values include an inclusive community and affordable, flexible payment options. It serves people of all ages, identities and income levels.

2BWell is a clinic that draws on history taking, physical exams, laboratory testing and traditional Chinese diagnostic methods. According to the clinic, its treatment methods include clinical nutrition, botanical medicine, homeopathic remedies, biotherapeutic drainage, flower essences, acupuncture, energetic bodywork, lifestyle counseling, low dose immunotherapy, biopuncture, compounded medicines and pharmaceuticals. Its naturopathic care spans botanical, homeopathic, physical and psychological medicine. Patients commonly come in for anxiety, depression, fatigue, digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, autoimmune disease, allergies, menopausal complaints, infertility, stress-related issues and smoking cessation.

Cosmetic acupuncture is a non-surgical treatment intended to reduce visible signs of aging. It uses thin disposable needles made for the face, and is based on principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
