Providence PatientThis was my first visit to set up care. I was very impressed with everyone in the office. Everyone was helpful, kind, and efficient. And I absolutely loved Dr Fackler. She is one of the best I have ever seen
Providence PatientDr. Fencher was really thorough and careful to explain everything and to stop to answer any questions that I had. Very step-by-step and clear about what was happening and what lay ahead. The binder was excellent as a tool during the visit. Having a tape ensured that I wouldn't forget any of the information she gave me. Excellent visit.
