Providence Patient
Nothing but good experiences at this office or all other Providence offices. I have had excellent care and thoughtful discussions over the past 40 years with Providence Health & Services. I continue to refer many people to Providence doctors as they inquire about their health care needs. I am extremely satisfied with the care and the passion that all the doctors offer and share.I would just share that my family, all of whom see Providence providers, and myself have only one desire and I'm sure you are doing your absolute best to remedy the situation, is the length of time it takes to get an appointment with all of your providers. I've experienced 2+ months wait to see doctors over the past 6-12 months. I know staffing is virtually impossible in these times but I am hopeful that these wait times will begin to shorten soon.Thank you for being my lifesaver during these past 20 years especially.

Providence Patient
Dr. Fisher-Wright is the only reason I selected Providence for my medical coverage. She is a fantastic doctor. In the past the only issue was the front desk. I had to wait on hold sometimes more than 30 minutes to talk with the person from the front desk. Now it looks like even for the email service, it might take up to 5 days for a response. It would be nice to see your doctor when you're sick (not a nurse, or another doctor that doesn't know you).
Providence Patient
Visits are hard to schedule because she is so busy. She needs more help so she can be more efficient. But I have been going to her for 20 yrs and I have no intention of changing, just wish it was easier to talk with her.

At my recent visit she recommended a psych consult which has been scheduled. During my visits, I always feel that Dr. F-W remembers me well and is attentive to my needs. She is a compassionate, intelligent, and insightful physician!
