Dr. F-W is a very good listener (and hearer), took my concerns seriously, arranged for needed testing and also follow-up. Discussed health Issues going forward and how I can take more responsibility for my own well-being. She assisted with transitioning to a new PCP as she is retiring. I am grateful to have had Dr. F-W as my family practice physician. She exemplifies the Providence values; one in particular stands out: Dignity: DignityAll people have been created in the image of God. -Genesis 1:27We value, encourage, and celebrate the gifts in one another. We respect the inherent dignity and worth of every individual. We recognize each interaction as a sacred encounter.These positive experiences will remain with me going forward.
