Providence Patient
I appreciate the warmth and professionalism of Dr. Zhong-Gaff and her treatment team. They all did a great job! I especially appreciated their patients and the extra steps that Dr. Zhong-Gaff her medical assistant and phlebotomist's (I cannot remember their names) took to help alleviate my Issues with weight when I got on the scale for my appointment, and the extra steps that the phlebotomist took to help me feel comfortable because I really have problems getting my blood taken and almost pass out every time. This may seem like something small, but It really made a big difference for me because I have had major struggles with my weight and with blood draws. Also, I like that Dr. Zhong-Gaff are very knowledgeable and efficient at what they all do, and I can't say it enough how much I appreciate the care that I have received and my care team's professionalism and patience (I sound like a broken record here). I have always been pleased with the quality of care that I have received at Providence when I compare It to other healthcare organizations where I have received care.

Care from this provider has been unexpectedly excellent since Providence finally streamlined many services and duties to be performed In-house; e.g, finger pricks for diabetes, brine samples, flu shots etc rather than sending patients to labs, etc.
