Providence Patient
Melissa is excellent both professionally and personally. She is thorough in her explanations. She knows her info so well that I think she thinks that I understands the charts too. I don't. It's a lot of information. I would appreciate it even more if she could slow down abit. I've never had any negative experiences with her.

Providence Patient
Excellent service provided by all practitioners! Melissa Sloan, NP is very professional, efficient in her time and delivery of information and extremely knowledgeable about ALL subject matter relative to pulmonary and sleep medicine!
Providence Patient
I was impressed with the time spent with me during my appointment to provide updates and gather details about my medical history that did not appear in the questionnaire that I had submitted. The contrast between the level of service provided by Melissa Sloan vs. my past experiences with Kaiser Sleep Medicine was dramatic. Melissa Sloan took the time to explain options to me, set up a new sleep study (because Kaiser had no record of my previous results), and provided me with all of the documentation I would need to order supplies and travel with my CPAP machine in the future. Moreover, she shared valuable tips and information about a battery backup and travel-sized CPAP machine.

Providence Patient
Great people very caring
Providence Patient
NP Sloan seems almost to follow a script. Meaning that she doesn't really seem to register anything I say. When I questioned the type of medical device I am using -- saying that it was causing me pain -- she basically blew me off. She also, like many of Providence's providers, clearly uses a "template" when typing up her notes. Templates are good when used as a starting point. Not so good when, as with NP Sloan's notes, statements are left in that were not made/addressed. I find it extremely frustrating when the notes say that she said or did something that was not said or done.
Providence Patient
All my experience with this provider has been excellent.

All OK
Providence Patient
Contrary to my expectations, the ZOOM meeting was highly productive and appropriate for my limited physical mobility. Melissa Sloan observed incorrect setting of my Bipap mask and we were able to resolve the issue in real time; my sleep patterns have improved radically due to her insight. This is a real step forward!
Providence Patient
Good experience.
Providence Patient
Nurse Practitioner Sloan was very thorough in her assessment as well as courteous and thorough in answering all my questions. She explained things clearly and in detail.
Providence Patient
Because my initial appointment was rescheduled 2 months later I needed replacement CPAP equipment beforehand. So, prior to my appointment, one of the PA/MA helped me and I was able to get new tubing and a mask. On the day of my appointment, from the receptionist, PA/MA to Melissa, the Provider I received excellent, polite and high quality service. I ALWAYS appreciate it when the PA/MA introduces themselves at the outset which she did!! Sadly, this is more rare than it should be. Excellent care all around!

Providence Patient
Very good
Providence Patient
I have been seeing Melissa Sloan for my Sleep Apnea for over10 years. I am very confident in her care. Thank you!
Providence Patient
I bought up connected health issues and their comment came off as if I didn't care to do my own part or that I was not trying to solve my health issues. They gave off the impression I was just another appointment in the day that they didn't want to deal with.
Providence Patient
I've been seen by providers in this office for 20 years. I am very happy with the service that they provide.
Providence Patient
Melissa assisted me with my CPAP machine and answered all needed questions. She was professional, friendly, knowledgable and gave me the time needed.
Providence Patient
The provider gave me 100% of her attention for over 30 minutes as we talked about details of CPAP, the hardware and the different hardware providers that have been involved, including what happened with the recall. She suggested a new size for the fitting and that has made a big improvement. We got a new hardware supplier set up and I felt very strongly that she cared about my health and my ability to get more than the minimum (4 hours) CPAP sleep each night.
Providence Patient
Very satisfied with the appointment
Providence Patient
Good Info, good service

The staff were efficient, friendly and professional, including the instructions for any forms that needed filling out. Ms. Sloan was prompt, professional and friendly. She had taken the time to review my history for this annual visit so she was well versed on my history. She took the time to review the functions of my equipment and explained features that would assist me that I hadn't been aware of. I have nothing negative to say about her or the office. I would recommend them without question.
