First impressions always have a lasting impact for anyone. It gives an individual a warm feeling that a professional really cares. And I sincerely felt it with Dr. Melissa Purtteman. IF there were doctor's with her traits and amazing communication then so many patients would look forward to the visit. It's such a huge loss to know she will not be my doctor . I wish her a happy and rewarding experience in the teaching profession. Passing that knowledge will truly benefit the opportunity for others to gain a great respect for life. Thank you for sharing your smile Dr. Purtteman!

Dr. Purtemann is wonderful - kind, empathetic, able to explain challenging topics like puberty to my daughter with humor, grace, and accuracy. She is an amazing doctor, and I'm so grateful that my daughter is under her care. Thank you, Providence!

Dr P. Is fabulous!!! I'm sad that she is going on to a teaching position, but wish her the best!

Dr Purtteman was so good in reviewiing records, lab tests and treatment and surgery I had received from several providers outside of the Providence system as I was somewhat concerned about any coordination or concerns that might be missed.

I only have good to say about my experience with your facility

It was very nice!

Very nice and competent

I have only positive feedback for Dr M Purrteman in regard to her attention and guidance during my recent "Wellness" visit. Her consulting was very helpful. I do wish it was easier during the rest of the year to be able to see Dr Purrteman when I have a medical issue. She is very busy and I have never been able to get into her in a timely fashion.

My provider and facility are great! The only issue I have is she's so booked and busy that scheduling appointments with her are about 4 months out.

I'm deaf with a memory impairment. Dr P. Is always thoughtful and helpful and works to make sure I understand and have a memory note for important things. Not all providers do that.

She is very thorough and checks in with me emotionally and physically. I feel heard and really appreciate it.

Melissa Purtteman is always consistent, thorough, and attentive during my office visits. I never feel like she rushes, and she always seems to allow enough time. I always get sound advice or opinions which I value. Very knowledgeable too.In our fast-paced world I just wish there were more Dr.Purttemans out there.

This is the first time I have a doctor that cares about me, motivates me, and listens to me. She is the best of the best. Thank you

Everyone at this office is so wonderful. I have only good to say about the care and the staff. It is unfortunate that it takes so long to get in to see my provider.

We are well taken care of by Dr. Purtterman. She is always on top of things.

Great listener and had clearly reviewed my records.

I have a great care team and trust them with my health care. The only problem I have is the long wait to get an appointment. The office is extremely busy and it takes weeks/months to get an appointment. Other than that, Dr. Purtteman is a wonderful doctor and a great fit for me.
