Excellent Doctor, she listened to my concerns and provided excellent Information regarding my sleep apnea.
Providence Patient
Very knowledgeable very personable and very professional.
Providence Patient
Since this was a referral from the specialist, the office contacted me with a date and time for the appointment. Timeframe was ok, as there seems to be a lack of sufficient providers available. As this was for a specific issue, it was to follow up from a pulmonologist regarding a sleep disorder issue. As I neither fit the "guidelines' for other equipment to help sleep apnea, (ie.body mass index, severity of issue) I was not a candidate for what other steps beyond a cpap machine...so nothing more can be done. The staff, from receptionist, to nursing medical assistant to the clinician were great and professional, and competent. If I needed to get ahold of them with questions, I believe I could get answers from them in a caring and professional manner.

Doc was a good teller and a poor listener. I plan to search for another Doc. If I can find another Doc within Providence, fine. If not I will look elsewhere.

Providence Patient
Cannot say enough good things about Deborah! She was by far the best medical professional I've seen in a decade. She helped with my pressing issue of sleep health but also provided great recommendations for where to follow up with other medical issues/questions. She took the time to KNOW MY CHART before she even walked in the room. Took the time to answer my questions and really explain the process in a clear way that I felt confident walking out the door to know what to do next. She was far above and beyond and such a breath of fresh air! Thank you thank you thank you for all your help! Sincerely, has helped me in many ways. ....6 months to get in was a little tough to take and wait.....but honestly well worth it. Have been talking to everyone I know about what I learned and going to see her if they are in need!

This provider exceeded m expectations. She was prompt, knowledgeable, experienced, courteous, relatable, empathetic and very real. This was a refreshing reminder that visiting a medical professional can be quite pleasant and personalized. The provider put me completely at ease, and I trust her completely with my medical needs. Because of her manner and way of expressing the possibilities and options for my care and treatment, I feel relieved and well cared for. I feel confident that I will hear from someone in her office this week, and that they will be helpful. This provider is a real asset to her work group, and the medical community. I think very highly of her, and will continue working with her in the future.

Providence Patient
Appointment was booked 7 months out. Happened to get lucky and got a cancellation appt 5 months out. Way too long of a wait for a serious condition. That said, it was worth the wait. The provider I saw was the most attentive, knowledgeable, thorough provider I have ever seen for my sleep disorder (and I've seen many). I feel that I finally found a provider that truly cares about my health and is willing to advocate for my wellness. I've already recommended her to a coworker. I can't say enough good things!
Providence Patient
Deborah was seen for DPDP checkup. She is always helpful and does a good job. She doesn't prescribe meds or other health care concerns...only breathing with CPAP.
Providence Patient
Excellent experiences, they take the time needed to thourly cover allaspects of your treatment.
Providence Patient
Helpful and friendly, competent.
Providence Patient
The only downside was how long it took to be seen but I definitely understand that healthcare is a high-demand field so it's not a make-it or break-it situation. Dr Fertakis was fantastic and validated all of my concerns and listened with compassion and empathy.
