It takes way too long to get someone on the phone to make an appointment. Dr. Wheeler was great and I am glad that I was able to see her. I saw her because my normal provider was not available for an extended period of time. That seems to be the norm these days. However, I want to emphasize how happy I was with Dr. Wheeler.
Providence Patient

Providence Patient
I AM VERY PLEASED WITH MY CARE PLEASE GIVE EVERYONE A BIG FAT PAY RAISE!
Providence Patient
Dr. Wheeler was excellent. She gave me a thorough explanation on what she felt was going on with my leg. She then let me decide if I wanted to confirm that with an additional test which I didn't. My daughter in PT school had said she thought it was possibly a nerve too, so it made sense. Dr. Wheeler gave me some options and let me decide how I wanted to proceed. I declined one medication, and she said if it became more uncomfortable to message her, and she'd prescribe it at that point. I would definitely recommend her! She gets a 10. The office only gets a 7, because it's so hard to see the doctors I typically. I lucked out getting Dr. Wheeler the next day, and I may switch to her if that's typical. I'm guessing it probably isn't though. I don't like going to urgent care instead of my own doctor.
Providence Patient
Dr seem respectful but concerned, very professional
Providence Patient
Nothing but good things to say.
Providence Patient
My appointment was for a physical and my normal Dr had an emergency. Dr Wheller was very personable and friendly, but never did any physical exam of ears, throat etc. Just ordered tests.

Providence Patient
*1st time patient with Providence *info on how to go about getting the ultrasound that was recommended was not provided, I had to call back. * appt felt rushed * Dr was not able to come back to discuss something I forgot to mention regarding my health, while I was still in the check-in room. Receptionists were very receptive and clean facilities. I was not able to locate my recommended BP # anywhere in my paperwork and was not pointed out to me. I left a message for my doctor the moment I left the building to confirm the pick up location of my birth control - still no response.
Providence Patient

Providence Patient
I have seen Dr Wheeler a few times & feel more comfortable with her every time. I was feeling the need to change my primary care provider & have told her I would like her to be my primary care provider. I felt good about my visit ( although I did forget to ask a few questions that I need to ask. It was very good to see her again & I felt encouraged. Was also blessed that she recognized & commented on my weight loss. I'm hoping she stays with the practice indefinitely!

Providence Patient
Very friendly, listened, received care
Providence Patient
She was kind, polite, and friendly. She very clearly listened to me and what I said even more so then great doctors I have had in the past.
Providence Patient
I feel that the provider I saw on this date of [Date] 2024 could've shown more empathy and asked if I had any further questions about anything before she stood up and was ready to leave. It seemed she was in a rush to get through my visit. She did not check my hearing, eyes or anything other than my chest for breathing and heart, that's it.
Providence Patient
Dr. Wheeler was very personable, professional and knowledgeable. I look forward to developing a long-term doctor/patient relationship with her.
Providence Patient
I love all of my Providence Doctors.
