Patients express high satisfaction with Dr. Steven Mark Wheeler, praising his thoroughness, kindness, and ability to communicate complex information in an easily understandable way. They appreciate his personalized approach to treatment, especially in sleep apnea and related conditions, and commend his ability to build trust with patients. However, some patients mention dissatisfaction with the scheduling process, citing delays in appointment setting due to a shortage of providers, and preferring script renewals through their primary care provider instead of the requirement for a sleep clinic appointment.

Steve Wheeler was such a kind provider who took the time to build trust and rapport with an elderly patient with dementia so that she was then open to listening to him and trusting the information he gave her. He considered her personal situation and didn't give her a one-size-fits-all solution. Steve is a truly exceptional provider.

I have always been very satisfied with the services I have received at Providence/St. Patrick Hospital in Missoula, especially the ER staff. But, in as much as this survey seems to have been prompted by my recent visit with Steve Wheeler, I would like to commend him for his thoroughness, his insightfulness, and his ability to articulate the complexities of sleep apnea in a clear and simple manor.
