Providence Patient
I haven't had any bad experiences. She is the best and most caring physician I have ever had.
Providence Patient
This visit was my first with Dr. Puukka Clark. My previous Providence physician retired or left the Providence Sunset clinic practice clinic so I needed to get established with a new doctor. I really appreciated the professional friendliness of Dr. Puuka's staff and Dr. Puukka herself. She is a real gem in the medical world because she comes across as understanding people and how to relate to individuals. During this visit I did not have any medical issues to discuss but I did tell her that I should get lab work done once again to see exactly how bad my cholesterol currently is. I have a history of high cholesterol. Dr. Puukka ordered a lab test for me as well as giving me a referral to an eye doctor in Tigard. I have not had a vision check-up in 3 years, so it was time to do that, too. I had the lab tests done the Monday following my visit with Dr. Puukka and received my results from the lab that afternoon with a note that the result had not yet been reviewed by Dr. Puukka. Therefore, I expect to be receiving a follow-up note form Dr. Puukka soon.
Providence Patient

Providence Patient
Dr. Puukka Clark is the best physician I have ever met. I am very grateful for her and the whole care team.The only down side is that she is so popular with many patients, so it is almost impossible to get a same week visit with her. She os usually only available several months in the future.

Providence Patient
This was my initial visit with Dr. Pukka-Clark. I had to wait a while to get this first appointment and it was very much worth the wait! She wanted to get to know me and listened carefully.

Providence Patient
I am always impressed with Dr. Pukka-Clark's attentiveness, professional, methodical and caring approach to my concerns. It is difficult to get an appointment to see her and I lucked out for this last appointment since there was a cancellation. I believe the scheduling issue isn't a reflection on the Dr.or staff, more a sign of the times.
Providence Patient

Providence Patient
She is the best doctor I have ever had! Really listens to me and does not jump to the worse case diagnosis like some doctors I have had.
Providence Patient
When Dr. Pukka-Clark become my provider, I knew that she would be a great doctor for me. Unfortunately as her practice has grown, it has become more and more difficult to see her. I am able to get an appointment with one of her team, but when I'm in acute pain, I would really like to see her as soon as possible. The problem with "as soon as possible" is that it mean 3 months out unless there is a cancellation. But when I get to see her, I remember why I chose her as my doctor. She is attentive, genuine, and compassionate. Who could ask for a better doctor.
