Samuel Fellin, DO, emphasizes prevention in his practice and encourages patients to participate in their own care and health. "I feel my main role is as an educator, to teach patients about preventive measures, and when they're sick, to educate them about the importance of taking medications as prescribed and other ways they can contribute to the healing process," he says. "I enjoy being able to serve as a positive force in people's lives."
Dr. Fellin is a graduate of Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, Washington. He earned his DO at the College of Osteopathic Medicine of Pacific in Pomona, California, and completed his internal medicine residency at Providence St. Vincent Medical Center.
In his free time, Dr. Fellin enjoys outdoor activities, including running, hiking, camping and gardening.

the wait was a little longer then usual due to the sick season but everything was handled professionally and respectfully. The reason I have been coming here over 20 years.Providence Patient
This visit was especially amazing. I arrived early, and I remember that my name was called either early or on time. Dr Fellin and staff were extremely courteous and helpful. He ordered an X-ray for my finger. The X-ray team was able to see me right away, and took the images very efficiently. From the time I stepped in the office until the time I stepped out was only about 40 minutes (from check-in, to nurse, to Dr, to X-ray, to exit). By the end of the day, I even had my X-ray results in MyChart. Wow, keep it up!Providence Patient
I use the mychart information for questions, test results, checking. i always get a reply within 24-48 hours on m-f, so they're really on top of their game. and while i might not be seen within the tone of appointment, its because someone else took a little longer, or there isn't enough staffed doctors, so it takes a little longer. but Dr. Fellin is a great doctor, and his backup, [...], can be seen easier if he's not available. 10/10 rating. [...]Providence Patient
such a great doctor, who is compassionate and cares about me getting healthier.Providence Patient
I trust and respect Dr. Fellin and consider him a valuable medical asset.Providence Patient

I love seeing my doctor. Every time I visit, it's always a professional environment. Highly recommended.Providence Patient
I have no complaints about Dr. Fellin. [...]Providence Patient
He is a good doctor, concerned and listens to my questions.Providence Patient
In regards to results from blood work, it is always posted on My Chart but no follow up for explanation of the result. There should be some place to show whether everything is okay or not. Yes, I can read the range, but if it is not in the parameters how do I know whether I need to do anything.Providence Patient
Dr Fellin took the time to understand my concerns and we agreed on a plan of action that met my needs. Quite satisfied.Providence Patient
I have been seeing dr Fellin for more than 19 years so I must be happy with himProvidence Patient
Dr. Fellin is terrific. I waited several months longer than I should have and due to my own fault, ran out of time. The most important items were taken care of and referrals were set up. Most of my questions were dealt with - I often have a list with me.Providence Patient
Dr Fellin is always attentive and ready to help out. This time my issue required a little more time and Dr Fellin made sure to deal with my issue. Thank youProvidence Patient

dr fellin is an outstanding and caring doctor. I don't live as close as I used to his clinic, but I still go to him since I trust his care.Providence Patient
It takes too long to get appointments with the Doctors. Providence needs to hire more Doctors. If doctors are overworked they can't do their best work. However, Dr. Fellin has always taken good care of me.Providence Patient

I am very fortunate to have Dr. Fellin as my Primary Care Physician. He is customer-friendly and it's easy to discuss my medical/health concerns with him. He always takes the time to listen to me and in return offers sound medical advice. Whenever I send him an email he is always quick to respond. When I need a referral to a specialist within the Providence network he is quick to respond with a highly qualified doctor,Providence Patient
I was treated like a human being, and all my concerns were taken care of and he sincerely wanted to see me get better with my health. so glad I found my Dr.Providence Patient
Dr Fellin is probably the best primary care physician I have ever had. I came to him about 15 yrs ago, when he was treating my father(now deceased). I thought so highly of him, I decided he should be my primary care doc.Providence Patient
Dr. Fellin has been my Primary Care Physician for eleven years. He has become a personal friend. His whole approach to medical problems has been to resolve medical issues with minimum prescription drugs when possible, which I am in full agreement with. His attention to me personally has been outstanding.Providence Patient

all excellentProvidence Patient
Dr Fellin is always great. He remembers everything about you and I have been seeing his over 20 years.Providence Patient
Dr Fellin has been my doctor for 15 some odd years. I have no plans on switching doctors. The only complaint I have is when I'm asked to show up 15 minutes before scheduled appointment then typically wait 30 plus after scheduled appointment before I'm seen by doctor Fellin.Providence Patient
Saw my doctor for foot pain. He attempted to find source of pain. Gave me options for how to relieve pain and it they didn't help, then he suggested I go to a foot specialist. I really appreciated the fact he brought in a medical aide to use computer during my visit so that he was able to devote 100% of his time & attention to me.Providence Patient
GoodProvidence Patient
Every thing was OKProvidence Patient
It was the usual normal physical although I have another issue I came in for and I fell he did not go far enough to help resolve that issue. That is I found out I have Severe Ostio Arthritis in the hip and I would have liked for him to hook me up with help.Providence Patient
always seems to careProvidence Patient
quite satisfied with the appointment and service provided however, I did have to wait 50 minutes to give bloodProvidence Patient
I'm very comfortable to talk to him about any questions or concerns I have. I have nothing bad to say about my providers,Providence Patient
goodProvidence Patient
Dr.Fellin really a wonderful doctor and always get an interpreter every appointment. Really appreciated his service.Providence Patient
I have been seeing Dr. Fellin since 1995 (+ 23 years!) and he is, frankly, the best doctor I have ever had. He is knowledgeable, seems to be up on the latest medical info/advancements, open to questions/issues, is willing to share info/the "why" behind any medical issues, and LISTENS/CARES to my input. All of this makes me a more knowledgeable and helpful patient. Together, I feel very confident that we are both fully aware of my medical condition and future expectations. I am in "excellent" health and a large part of that is due to Dr. Fellin's knowledge and assistance to helping me *stay* in excellent health. In closing, I hope Dr. Fellin never retires and is my doctor until I depart this big ol' ball of dirt spinning 'round and 'round in space. Cheers. :^) [...]Providence Patient

Dr. Fellin is an excellent provider. Wait times for the lab for blood draw was over 40 minutes. The front desk staff failed to check me in properly as (has arrived) so the Dr. Fellins assistant thought I was a no show which delayed me seeing the doctor and wasting more of my time. Now I am getting multiple emails stating that I was a No Show. You need to improve the front desk process and wait times for lab work. Also, please stop sending me emails that I was a No Show when I did see the doctor. Thanks.Providence Patient
Dr Fellin is a professional with a sincere interest in the patient. [...] Dr Fellin was very clear and understanding with my Dad. A tough conversation but he handled it with just the right approach for my Dad. ThanksProvidence Patient
