It was my first time at a Providence clinic and being seen by a neurologist. It was a good and productive experience. Dr. F. Villanueva was engaging and provided insight to my questions and concerns. It was my first appointment with her. The nurse assistant was efficient and has a caring and friendly demeanor. The office space was adequate and personnel were nice and treated me respectfully.
