January 15, 2013

I 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.

I 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.

Top notch staff!

December 14, 2012

Totally impressed.

December 13, 2012

I 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!!!

December 10, 2012

I was unclear as to whether I should see Dr Smith again.

November 10, 2012

I 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.

October 18, 2012

Dr. Gibson and Dr. Smith are excellent and I would absolutely recommend to anyone.

Exceptional time spent reviewing issues. Would definitely recommend service to others.

I 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.

June 01, 2012

I 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.

May 15, 2012

I like my Dr. and trust him. he has always made good decisions when it comes to my condition.

May 15, 2012

I told Dr. Smith if he ever moved I would follow him. I have complete faith and trust in him and his care towards me.

May 15, 2012

This was the 1st time I felt completely confident in the ability of the doctor to help me.

May 08, 2012

Simply great people.

April 05, 2012

The experience was very good. I have Botox injections, and the botox is more effective when given by Dr, Smith rather than by a resident.

February 14, 2012

Did not connect with the assistant. Not sure he gave the dr the correct information I told him.

February 09, 2012

Dr. 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!!

February 07, 2012

My 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.

February 01, 2012

He seemed hurried

February 01, 2012

I have not met with a doctor yet. I was there only to schedule an appointment.

January 31, 2012

The amount of time your staff spent with me was wonderful and as I have said before, you are the best.
