UofU Patient January 15, 2013I know they are busy, however I felt they were just not too concerned about problems. symptoms does not fit anyone's box they think this is it, pass me on to the next doctor. I would like to definitively know.
UofU Patient January 08, 2013I was very dissapointed in the care I recieved from my Physician. I was given to formal explanation of how my issue is to be resolved - none. Furthermore, he said the issue would "just go away". My Neuropathy has been nothing but progressive for the last 6 months and I have told him this repeatedly. I left the office feeling like I wasted my time, money, and felt like thier was no direction or further care directed. Very very dissapointed.
UofU Patient December 16, 2012Top notch staff!
UofU Patient December 14, 2012Totally impressed.
UofU Patient December 13, 2012I truly enjoyed Dr. Smith. He treated me with total respect and was concerned about my situtation. It was great that we were able to joke around a bit, I really felt so comfortable with him. Sometimes doctors are stuffy and in a hurry, but I did not feel that way at all with Dr. Smith. GREAT Neurologist!!!
UofU Patient December 10, 2012I was unclear as to whether I should see Dr Smith again.
UofU Patient November 10, 2012I could not be more pleased with the care I have received at the University of Utah Medical Center and related clinics. I recommend your facility and care providers to everyone I speak with.
UofU Patient October 18, 2012Dr. Gibson and Dr. Smith are excellent and I would absolutely recommend to anyone.
UofU Patient October 16, 2012My care was excellent. Dr. Smith and staff did a great job in educating me about my medical issues.
UofU Patient October 15, 2012Very caring
UofU Patient September 29, 2012Very good.
UofU Patient July 06, 2012Exceptional time spent reviewing issues. Would definitely recommend service to others.
UofU Patient July 06, 2012I feel that everyone was attentive to Betty's new problem. They allowed us to use skype so my sister was also present at the visit.
UofU Patient June 01, 2012I felt he was so rushed that I did not receive an adequate evaluation and had little time to converse. I am extremely disappointed with my visit.
UofU Patient May 15, 2012I like my Dr. and trust him. he has always made good decisions when it comes to my condition.
UofU Patient May 15, 2012I told Dr. Smith if he ever moved I would follow him. I have complete faith and trust in him and his care towards me.
UofU Patient May 15, 2012This was the 1st time I felt completely confident in the ability of the doctor to help me.
UofU Patient May 08, 2012Simply great people.
UofU Patient April 05, 2012The experience was very good. I have Botox injections, and the botox is more effective when given by Dr, Smith rather than by a resident.
UofU Patient February 14, 2012Did not connect with the assistant. Not sure he gave the dr the correct information I told him.
UofU Patient February 09, 2012Dr. Smith was quite ill with a nasty cold. He was sniffling and blowing his nose and clearing his throat a lot. I was a little grossed out by that. He did gel and use gloves but I really think he should not have been at work. Other than that he was great as usual!!
UofU Patient February 07, 2012My care provider seemed knowledgeable, and although she communicated in English very well, I think she lacked an understanding of of cultural nuances. Consequently, she seemed a little aloof.
UofU Patient February 01, 2012He seemed hurried
UofU Patient February 01, 2012I have not met with a doctor yet. I was there only to schedule an appointment.
UofU Patient January 31, 2012The amount of time your staff spent with me was wonderful and as I have said before, you are the best.
