Wilsonville sits far enough south that a trip into Portland for specialist care costs most of a morning. The Tualatin clinic is about seven miles north instead — a short run up I-5, off at the Nyberg Street exit, with parking at the end of it rather than a garage.
What Wilsonville patients usually call about
A few reasons come up more than others:
- “Everything looked fine” — a basic panel came back unremarkable, the symptoms did not, and nobody widened the search.
- Weight and energy that stopped responding — unchanged habits, worse results, usually a thyroid, cortisol, or blood-sugar question rather than a willpower one.
- Low testosterone symptoms in men — energy, drive, and focus fading through the forties and fifties, wanting proper testing before any prescription.
- Appointments that fit a commute — one in-person visit, then virtual follow-ups that do not require leaving work.
Getting here from Wilsonville
About seven miles and roughly ten minutes outside of rush hour. Take I-5 north and exit at Nyberg Street; the clinic is a couple of minutes from the off-ramp, in the Tualatin Commons district at 18861 SW Martinazzi Ave.
It is around the corner from the Fred Meyer shopping center and minutes from Legacy Meridian Park Medical Center. For most Wilsonville addresses — Town Center, Villebois, the Memorial Park side — it is a shorter trip than crossing town.
There is also a train. TriMet’s WES Commuter Rail runs weekday mornings and afternoons between Beaverton and Wilsonville, stopping at Wilsonville Station on SW Barber Street and at Tualatin Station on Boones Ferry Road — the same part of central Tualatin as the clinic. For appointments that fall inside commuter hours it is a genuine alternative to driving.
Hormone, thyroid and adrenal conditions we treat
The Tualatin clinic is where this practice started, and the full range of care is available here.
- Hormone decline in women — menopause, perimenopause, PMS, and PCOS, treated with bioidentical hormone therapy dosed from your own lab work.
- Hormone decline in men — andropause and low testosterone, addressed with BHRT for men or testosterone replacement once testing shows a genuine deficiency.
- Thyroid and autoimmune — thyroid imbalances and Hashimoto’s disease, evaluated with a full panel rather than a lone TSH.
- Energy and stress — adrenal dysfunction and chronic fatigue, where the whole stack gets tested instead of one suspect at a time.
- Steady-state hormone care — hormone pellet therapy for patients who prefer fewer touchpoints between visits.
Does insurance cover a naturopathic doctor in Oregon?
This is worth knowing, because Oregon is unusual. State law allows licensed naturopathic physicians to credential with insurers as primary-care providers, and many Oregon commercial plans cover naturopathic office visits — coverage that patients in most other states simply do not have.
To be straightforward about our own practice: we are not currently in-network with any plan and we do not bill insurers directly. We provide a detailed billing summary you can submit for possible reimbursement, depending on your plan’s rules. Our FAQs cover how appointments and billing work in more detail.
The Northwest factors we actually test for
Living through Willamette Valley winters puts predictable pressure on the systems this practice treats, and the effects get written off as normal for the season every year.
- Vitamin D — Months of overcast weather at this latitude make deficiency genuinely common here. It is easy to measure, it is straightforward to correct, and its symptoms overlap almost perfectly with low thyroid and low mood.
- Seasonal energy and mood dips — Shorter days shift sleep and cortisol rhythm, which is worth separating from a thyroid problem rather than assuming one explains the other.
- Thyroid symptoms mistaken for winter — Cold intolerance, weight gain, dry skin, and flat energy all read as “just the season” until someone runs a full panel instead of a single TSH.
None of that replaces a diagnosis. It means the workup accounts for where you live, so the season never becomes the explanation by default.
Your first visit as a Wilsonville patient
It starts with a free 15-minute discovery call — your symptoms, your goals, and an honest answer about whether we are the right fit. The first appointment itself is a full 60 minutes: a real review of your history, symptoms, and any labs you already have, then targeted testing and a plan built from the results. Follow-up labs confirm whether it is working rather than leaving you to guess.
Dr. Rob Dramov, NMD has practiced in Tualatin for more than two decades, and it is the same physician at every visit. Our approach walks through the whole arc, from first call to follow-up testing.
Planning the drive from Wilsonville
A few practical things make the first appointment more productive:
- Bring any labs you already have — including results you were told were normal. Previous panels show a trend, and a value sitting at the edge of a reference range often reads very differently in context.
- Bring your current list — prescriptions, supplements, and doses. Several common supplements affect thyroid and hormone results and change how your numbers are interpreted.
- Check your benefits first — call ahead and we will help you work out what your Oregon plan covers before you commit to anything.
- Allow the full hour — appointments run Monday through Thursday, 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM, and Friday 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM.
The clinic is at 18861 SW Martinazzi Ave in central Tualatin, in the Tualatin Commons district just off Interstate 5 at the Nyberg Street exit — around the corner from the Fred Meyer shopping center and minutes from Legacy Meridian Park Medical Center.
Wilsonville patient FAQs

About seven miles, generally ten minutes or so outside rush hour. Take I-5 north to the Nyberg Street exit; the clinic is a couple of minutes off the ramp at 18861 SW Martinazzi Ave in the Tualatin Commons district.
Does insurance cover naturopathic visits in Oregon?
Frequently, yes. Oregon law allows licensed naturopathic physicians to credential with insurers as primary-care providers, and many Oregon commercial plans cover ND office visits. To be straightforward about our own practice: we are not currently in-network with any plan and we do not bill insurers directly. We provide a detailed billing summary you can submit for possible reimbursement, depending on your plan’s rules.
Can I do most of this without taking time off work?
Largely, yes. The first 60-minute appointment is in person, but Oregon licensure means follow-ups, lab reviews, and dose adjustments can happen by telemedicine. Lab draws usually run through a commercial lab, so that step can often happen near you.
What happens at the first appointment?
A free 15-minute discovery call first, then a full 60-minute appointment covering your history, symptoms, and any labs you already have, followed by targeted testing and a plan built from the results.
Do I need a referral to be seen?
No referral is needed. Every patient relationship starts with a free 15-minute discovery call, so you can describe what is going on and get an honest answer about whether we are the right fit before booking anything.
What conditions do you treat?
Hormone decline in women and men, thyroid imbalances and Hashimoto’s disease, adrenal dysfunction and chronic fatigue, PCOS and PMS — with bioidentical hormone therapy, testosterone replacement, and hormone pellet therapy at the Tualatin clinic.
