It is with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to Dr. Pace, Dr. Pickworth, and Dr. Torrens, who transitioned out of Northwest Integrative Medicine at the end of the residency program at NWIM in April, 2023.
Unfortunately, we are so sorry to say that with these doctors leaving, Northwest Integrative Medicine no longer has the ability to support your healthcare journey. As a result, Northwest Integrative Medicine will not be able to retain you as a patient at our practice. We know changes like this can be difficult. Our clinic will be working closely with Dr. Pace, Dr. Torrens, and Dr. Pickworth to ensure a smooth transition of care to your new physician at another clinic who can meet your healthcare needs.
We also understand you may have many questions. Please see the following pages for an explanation of the scope and duration of care that Northwest Integrative Medicine can provide during your transition to a provider at another clinic. There is also a list of alternative healthcare providers who may or may not be suitable for your needs. The list Includes information like the insurance companies each provider takes and their potential specialties.
Please feel free to contact us at (503) 855-4341 with any questions or concerns. We wish you the best in your healthcare journey.
