Cancellation policy:

Definitions for Cancelled Appointments

Late Cancellation (LC): Appointment that is cancelled less than 24 hours in advance. For Monday appointments, any notification after the close of business on Friday will be considered less than 24 hours.

Same-Day-Status (SDS): Client may only schedule appointments on the day they call to schedule. All previously scheduled appointments will be cancelled.

Medical Services

PLEASE NOTE: Our providers need at least 48 Hours Notice for Any Cancellation. It is very difficult to fill cancellation spots with notice of less than 48 hours.

In the event of the first No Show or Late Cancellation the patient will receive a notification reminding them of our policy.

For all subsequent No Show or Late Cancellations, Be Well may assess a charge of:

$75 Acupuncture/Massage/Nutrition, $45 Chiropractic, $125 Psychotherapy, $90 Naturopathy

For this purpose we may hold your credit card on file, and/or send an invoice for the No Show/Late Cancellation charge.

If a patient has three No Shows or Late Cancellations within a six-month period of time, they may be placed on Same Day Status for a three-month period.

Once the patient has consecutively shown up for two Same Day appointments, Be Well may consider reversing their Same Day Status.

For New Patients:

a. If the initial appointment is a No Show or Late Cancellation, the new patient will receive a reminder of our policy, as mentioned above.

b. If a new patient has a second No Show or Late Cancellation for an initial appointment, Be Well may choose to not take this person on as a patient.

Covid related cancellation:

Please cancel If you or someone you are in close contact with has covid symptoms or a positive covid test. Please reschedule and attend your appointment after symptoms resolve or you receive a negative covid test or consider updating your visit to Telehealth for supplement/herbal recommendations for immune support.

Tasha Searles

(she/they)

advanced practice nurse

Tasha Searles, APRN, AGCNS-BC is a Queer, Autistic, ADHDer with Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome + some other commonly co-occurring conditions. Originally from Indiana, they now reside in Portland, Oregon with their two rambunctious cats. Tasha enjoys spending time outdoors, reading, learning, and finding new ways to be creative.

 

Professionally, Tasha is trained as a Clinical Nurse Specialist (a type of advanced practice nurse, similar to a Nurse Practitioner), and has been a nurse for over a decade —mostly working with individuals impacted by chronic or complex health conditions. They started in diabetes care and became a Certified Diabetes Care & Education Specialist, so much of their work has been related to diabetes and nutrition. They also spent many years as a Nurse Navigator helping clients navigate the healthcare system. Their personal health journey, and realization of the huge gaps in available care, led them to shift their professional practice to serve others on similar journeys as their own.

 

Tasha has been told she’s inquisitive and “a very good detective”. Being curious, digging deep, and thinking outside of the box (all while keeping the whole picture in mind) are really her favorite things in this life. Tasha’s style in working with patients is as a consultant & coach. She believes you are the expert in your own self and aims to empower you, provide hope, and help you to use your own innate wisdom to live your best life!

 

Tasha’s goal is to create a safer space for all to receive appropriate healthcare that is affirming & accommodating of individual needs; a space that encourages exploration and self-determination of what wellness & thriving mean in your individual life. They practice from a trauma informed perspective that is neurodiversity, LGBTQ+, disability, & HAES affirming. Tasha is able to order diagnostic tests and prescribe medications, but also works with clients on nervous system safety, nutrition, hydration, gut health, musculoskeletal health & movement, sleep, mental & emotional health, stress management, creating a life they love, finding joy, & more.

 

Tasha is available for telehealth consultations for Oregon Health Plan members and is accepting new patients ages 16 & up. Because all visits are conducted virtually, Tasha does not serve as a Primary Care Provider (PCP).
