Providence PatientDr. Sorotzkin and her team are always courteous, professional, and good at communicating. It's an excellent office.
Providence PatientDr Sorotzin has answered my questions and recommended or referred me to a specialist if need be.
Providence PatientGenerally very good. However, my recent visit did not include a breast exam and other hands on treatment that had always been provided at other visits. Because they now draw blood work on the same day as the exam, (rather than a week prior), we can't talk about results during the appointment.
