Very Profession
Providence Patient
The dr and support staff are amazingly helpful and efficient. The dr is also amazing, I appreciate him and his procedure he did for me. He advocated for me, the support nurses did too. It was a long wait for my first appointment, but after that the staff seamlessly scheduled all appointments for me that were needed. I could call and get rapid answers to any problems or concerns. Thank you so much everyone!!!!!

Providence Patient
He also had a student with him and I was asked in advance from his nurse if that was ok, and I told her he had one the last visit as well, though embarrassing but being a retired nurse I am used to those actions in the past, and this was just his means of knowing that my previous cancerous rectum no longer has the cancer and is now healthy and doing it's job.

Providence Patient
It was my visit to the medical providers office. The clerks and receptionist were so very kind, helpful, cheerful. They are excellent and eased my anxiety about my first visit there.The assistant was the same, kind, helpful, very accurate on the meds I take. I really appreciated her too.I was very nervous for what to expect with the dr. I found him calming, taking the time to listen and being my advocate to address my medical concerns. I felt very comfortable and treated with dignity and respect. He spoke with me so I understood my further treatment plan. I am so impressed by all in the office, everyone was so competent in their jobs and seemed like such nice and good people. I am a prior RN, so I can judge performance well in hospital settings. Thank you all for such great care!!! I will be having a follow up appointment and hope I can report a great outcome as well. I have confidence in them!!My memory for names is impaired by my medicines, or else I would name all of you who cared for me. I hope you can get this feedback to them for me.

Providence Patient
Excellent visit with this provider. It is very frustrating that I'm having to wait up to 9 months to see a specialist for the conditions I have. I'm lucky this one was a 3 month wait but I got in earlier due to a cancellation. I am happy these two drs I'm seeing are very competent and great to work with. I feel like they care about my health and helping me feel better.
