UofU Patient May 14, 2013
I have so many health issues going on, I hope someone will eventually tie them altogether.
UofU Patient May 07, 2013Long time waitilng but doctor spent time with me and answered all our questions.
UofU Patient April 30, 2013I am so impressed with Dr. Shami's willingness to take the time to clearly explain the many possibilities of my illness and to answer all of my questions. He was compassionate while being thorough and professional. He made me feel like I was in the "BEST HANDS" possible.
UofU Patient April 16, 2013My husband and I always prepare questions for our appointment with Dr. Shami. These questions are always answered clearly and we leave with a sense of well being, knowing that Dr. Shami and all of his team know everything about me. All questions are dealt with in a friendly, non-hurried manner with clear explanations.
UofU Patient March 13, 2013We never, ever, feel rushed during our appointments. We ask many questions and always receive clear answers to them. Follow up on test results are conveyed on the spot with copies so we can examine the numbers. At this appointment, some results were not available until the next evening. I was sent an email at 9 p.m. with a personal note from my doctor explaining the bone marrow draw results. Now that is SERVICE!
UofU Patient March 04, 2013Dr. Shami rocks and I am lucky to have him as my physician
UofU Patient February 25, 2013Dr Shami is the best!!!!!!!!!!
UofU Patient January 28, 2013Outstanding - great listener.
UofU Patient December 18, 2012Dr. Shami has such a calming manner about him as he talks to us in a way we can understand. He ALWAYS takes his time to answer all of our questions and provide information for our many inquiries.
UofU Patient November 19, 2012My husband and I consider the experiences at Huntsman the absolute best anywhere. We drive 5 hours to and from our home to Huntsman because of the medical care I am receiving. So worth the trip! From the team at the front desk, lab technicians (Jolin today) nurses (Deirdre and Amy), and Dr. Shami... all make the total experience one in which my husband and I know we are receiving the very best care. Nick, who did my scheduling for my next appointment was very patient with me as I tried to make a decision about my December appointment. Very gracious and accommodating.
UofU Patient November 19, 2012Outstanding facility, outstanding professionals! I have the ultimate confidence in them all.
UofU Patient October 29, 2012What more can we say...coming to my appointments to Huntsman exceeds our expectations. Renee, who performed my bone marrow draw, made special accommodations, late in the day, to do the procedure. And it was a GOOD ONE! Deirdre was very gracious in listening to our request and ensured that this patient was comfortable and a "happy camper"! Dr. Shami truly listens to both me and my husband. How he maintains that calm, unhurried demeanor and concern for us as individuals when I'm sure he has so much going on, I just don't know. Recommend to others...YOU BET! All of my friends and family know I'm receiving the very best care!
UofU Patient October 27, 2012We have dealt with surgeons and doctors here in Idaho, and they did not inspire confidence on my part. On the other hand, our experience with HCI was a complete contrast to our experience here at home. All the doctors we dealt with at HCI did give us the confidence that I would be just fine.
UofU Patient September 24, 2012We love Dr Shami - he's the best
UofU Patient August 28, 2012I am very impressed with medical staff.
UofU Patient August 27, 2012We love Dr Shami !!!!!!!!
UofU Patient August 22, 2012My husband and I continue to boast about the personal care and concern I am receiving. Dr. Shami had just returned from vacation and am sure he had a huge list of patients and things to do. But never once did we feel rushed during this appointment. His humor, sincere concern, and patience with us is so greatly appreciated.
UofU Patient August 14, 2012Dr. Shami is excellent. He has a very kind and gentle manner about him. I appreciate how he explains things in terms I can understand. He uses helpful analogies in explaining things. I have full confidence in his abilities and his advice. I would highly recommend him.
UofU Patient July 16, 2012I have great faith in Dr. Shami and his assistants (Deidre, Sam and Renae)and feel rather insecure whenever they are not available and I have a medical issue that needs attention.
UofU Patient June 25, 2012Dr Shami is GREAT!!!!
UofU Patient June 09, 2012excellent
UofU Patient May 03, 2012Dr. Shami is the BEST!
UofU Patient March 29, 2012I absolutely adore Dr. Shami & Renee!!!
UofU Patient March 22, 2012Dr. Shami was very generous in time commitment to us. We did not feel rushed and felt that all of our numerous questions were answered in detail. Especially for me, the patient, I felt that both doctors explained the details in a way that I could understand what they were saying. Whenever we asked for a copy of reports or lab results, they were immediately printed off for our review. The bedside manner of both doctors was excellent.
UofU Patient February 23, 2012I feel confident about my care with your doctors, I know I am in good hands.
UofU Patient February 13, 2012The medical staff thinks you know everything they know. They ask for questions but don't give you anymore info than you ask for. What if I don't know right questions to ask?
UofU Patient February 09, 2012Dr. Shami is great.
UofU Patient February 02, 2012Spent some time at the Mayo Clinic. The level of service provided at Huntsman surpasses.
