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.
