Excellent care
Providence Patient
Loretta is exceptional with her practice and is an absolute asset to this organization. Her care is empathetic, thorough, and thoughtful. Every concern was addressed, every explanation was clear and relatable. She's a gem and Providence is lucky to have her practicing with them. (Yes, this is a unsubtle hint that you should give her a raise, her own parking spot, 2 week all expenses paid trip to Europe, whatever it takes to keep her!)
Providence Patient
I received help within an hour of sending a request via MyChart!. Everyone I interacted with regarding this visit was exceptionally kind, cheerful, and well-prepared. Loretta Almann, NP, in particular, was amazing. Among other things, she presented me with a multi-page report she prepared that summarized essential issues associated with the exact problem that was affecting me, how it might be resolved, and when I should call back if it did not. I was impressed with the care I received and grateful.
