This was my first time seeing Gretchen and she is an amazing provider who is very thorough, kind, and easy to understand. I felt comfortable with her and appreciate the time she spent with me helping me understand the medical issues I am having.
Providence Patient
Gretchen was very attentive and helpful to my needs.
Providence Patient
I feel like she is holding a check list of standard care and not listening to my personal experiences, not open-minded. She is quite professional and caring, but not a good match for me.
Providence Patient
Thank you

Gretchen is knowledgeable, professional and very pleasant.
Providence Patient
SHE IS A VERY GOOD COMMUNICATOR who was explaining to me the results of tests that had been ordered by Dr. Holst my primary physician. She did so very effectively and throughly without making the encounter seem rushed.
Providence Patient
I did all that I was told to do, but the headache lasted a week. Still don't know what it was.
Providence Patient
I feel more time was needed for my appointment. It seemed rushed at the end, and I had more questions, but I figured we would discuss them further when my blood work comes back.
Providence Patient
We are grateful for our provider Dr Gretchen Hillman FNP PhD
Providence Patient
She looked at a sore on foot, was uncertain what was happening and said she would set up an ultrasound and referral to a podiatrist. She said it did not look infected. I went to the hospital the following day fur to pain and was admitted with a "massive" infection of my foot.

Everything went will and I am happy to be with Providence.

She has been patient and thorough in her analysis and in explaining results in terms I'm able to comprehend. I'm thankful for her time to review each test and discuss possible choices and outcomes in taking a particular approach to healing/addressing the issue.
Providence Patient
Gretchen was great and so knowledgeable.I will be happy to see her anytime
Providence Patient
This was my first visit with her, as I'm new to the area and, as someone with ongoing care needs, looking to establish a relationship with a new provider. Gretchen was friendly, knowledgeable, validating, and believed me when I talked about my experience. That's a baseline not always achieved, so I'm looking forward to deepening the relationship.
Providence Patient

She provided me with appropriate follow-up care and summarized our agreements before we ended the appointment.

Providence Patient
This was my first appointment with this provider. It was an appointment to establish me as a patient. I was impressed with the ease of getting the appointment, the quick wait in the waiting room, the very personable and professional attitude of the provider and a NP student with her. I was disappointed that my lengthy intake form with detailed info about my prescriptions and medical history had not yet been inputted since I had turned it in a couple weeks earlier, and I had to try to quickly go over that information during this appt. We did not have time to cover everything and I needed a follow-up appt which was (thankfully) quickly scheduled.
