UofU Patient October 01, 2013
I still feel really unsure about my daughter's condition and her future.
UofU Patient September 30, 2013Dr. Degrie was considerate of my concern to not 1st use drugs but find alternative ways to help my brain heal. She was very nice.
UofU Patient August 27, 2013DR. DIGRE ALWAYS HAS A TWO-WAY CONVERSATION WITH ME. SHE LISTENS, ANSWERS QUESTIONS, AND TREATS ME LIKE AN INTELLIGENT INDIVIDUAL. WHEN I LEAVE HER OFFICE I HAVE A CLEAR SET OF INSTRUCTIONS, BOTH VERBAL AND WRITTEN . SHE "WALKS ON WATER."
UofU Patient August 26, 2013Dr. Digre and her assistant were outstanding.
UofU Patient August 16, 2013Follow up care was not discussed. I like the online connection offered to stay in touch with the doctor with questions or concerns. Very re-assuring.
UofU Patient August 05, 2013I came for help and guideance and received exactly that, in a professional and courteous manner. I left feeling well cared for (but not treated as fragile or as if I were "suffering"). This was an excellent encounter, from my point of view.
UofU Patient August 03, 2013Very good experience. Would choose this clinic for all my vision needs, even though I live in Las Vegas,NV. My Las Vegas Dr. (Dr. Emily Fant, Shepard Eye Center) is the person who suggested I see Dr. Digre.
UofU Patient August 02, 2013Over all a good experience!!
UofU Patient July 17, 2013Dr. Digre is the best--very caring and dedicated to her patients and an excellent teacher to her residents
UofU Patient June 24, 2013Very good explanations, gave me confidence in the knowledge and competence of the care providers.
UofU Patient June 21, 2013Dr. Digre was most helpful. She explained things and was able to ask the right questions to get to the source of my problems. She knew immediately what action was needed and explained the process. I was very happy with the information and care I received from her.
UofU Patient June 10, 2013I am very appreciative of the time that Dr. Digre spends with me. I feel that there is sincere concern for my welfare.
UofU Patient June 10, 2013I have spent years trying to find out the problem. Dr. Digre was the first to give ne a diagnosis. I am very grateful.
UofU Patient May 27, 2013Dr. Digre is awesome! I just really like her and respect her. She has helped me so much! She's great!!!
UofU Patient May 20, 2013The Doctors at the Moran Eye Center are also VERY GOOD singers. Thanks for the Birthday song. It really made my year!
UofU Patient May 20, 2013Dr. Digre is thorough and while extremely busy, takes time to discuss issues while she is teaching residents and medical students. She is the consummate teacher and practitioner.
UofU Patient May 14, 2013The time spent with Dr. Digre was very valuable. She asks good questions and developed a very specific plan for me to implement over the months in between visits. This is very helpful when you are waiting for a follow-up appointment.
UofU Patient May 13, 2013Dr. Digre is very personable and thorough about the history of my son's condition. She was able to discuss what conditions are related to the Glaucoma as well as willing to consult with other Neurologists about his x-rays, etc. and other possibly related conditions. I really appreciate her looking at my son and all of his symptoms and not just the Glaucoma and headaches. She knew rightaway the type of headache he has and has advised me to return in the fall/winter when the headache comes back to discuss the medications at that time.
UofU Patient May 07, 2013Overall, I felt that this was a positive experience. However, I did feel like there were times when Dr. Digre did not listen completely to what I was trying to say about my symptoms.
UofU Patient April 29, 2013Dr. Digre always takes plenty of time to understand the problems and goes the extra mile to help in any way she can. Her depth of caring is unequaled in medicine and is much appreciated.
UofU Patient March 12, 2013I feel Dr. Digre was very thorough, I'm very satified with her. All the staff were great.
UofU Patient March 11, 2013SHE'S THE BESTEST as they ALL ARE .
UofU Patient March 08, 2013I was somewhat insulted and caught off guard by Dr. Digre's comments on my preventative care with my migraines and her off the wall comments on how I dealt with my pain. She made no apology for not responding to the numerous messages left while she was at her Head Convention and the times I was in the office for shots and in the hospital. I feel as though I am doing everything in my power to get better, I hate pills. I have done my best to make life changes in my diet, exercise, stress management to get rid of these migraines but still need Dr. Digre's help. She is very knowledgable and wonderful, but there seems to be a communication breakdown somewhere.
UofU Patient March 08, 2013If there was a rating higher than Very Good, it would be checked. What a great doctor.
UofU Patient February 25, 2013Dr. Digre is the very BEST doctor I have ever been seen by. Very smart and energetic. I appreciate how accurate she is with her diagnosis. Thank you!
UofU Patient February 11, 2013Dr. Digre is an excellent doctor. We have seen many doctors over the years and she is by far the best.
UofU Patient February 04, 2013I had a good experience. Everyone was extremely polite. Thank you.
UofU Patient January 30, 2013I'm especially appreciative of the time Dr. Digre spends with her patients--both fon the exams and on the explanations/consults. I never feel as if I'm just being rushed through the appt with cursory attention. That kind of concern is especially rare in medicine today, I'm afraid. Thank you.
UofU Patient January 17, 2013good
UofU Patient December 26, 2012Dr. Digre is always very concerned about my eye and neurological problems and is able to help me work with other doctors when there is a legitimate need.
UofU Patient December 19, 2012Dr. Degri has been the best doctor I have ever seen.
UofU Patient December 15, 2012Could not be better.
UofU Patient December 10, 2012Truly excellent in her skill and exceptionally responsive to my medical needs. One of the most exceptional physicians as a humanitarian... and I am a physician also... know when someone really cares immediately.
UofU Patient December 09, 2012Dr. Digre was the epitome of a physician. She presented as someone who is obviously deserving of the high praise I heard of her from many sources. She left no stone unturned, asked questions trying to come to the cause of my headaches. The amount of time she spent with me astounded me, as I know how busy she is. She carefully explained the anatomy of a "migraine brain," and gave me information I needed to make an informed decision about my treatment. She gave me several options, and many things to think about. After I left, she called me, and said she'd been reviewing my meds, and decided to make a change in my prescriptions. I appreciate so much the level of concern for my well being, and would recommend her (and the office) to anyone! Sincerest thanks for all you have done for me!
UofU Patient December 09, 2012She gave me hope , she spent a great amount time with my history and me. very thorough.
UofU Patient November 29, 2012I feel like I was put on medications that I have already tried and failed to work for me. I was really hoping for something different to try as a preventative.
UofU Patient November 28, 2012I have tremendous confidence in Dr. Digree and the staff and have hope for a resolution to my problem. I am very impressed with the mychart product and find it useful and informative.
UofU Patient October 22, 2012Dr. Digre deserves her reputation as the guru of migraines. She is simply outstanding.
UofU Patient October 09, 2012Dr. Digre LISTENED to me and was very empathetic and thorough. She said she would work as hard as she could to find the answers and get me some RELIEF. She gets an A plus!
UofU Patient October 05, 2012My quality of life, I know, would not be as good as it is if not for Dr. Digre. She is a real blessing.
UofU Patient October 04, 2012I have complete confidence in Dr Digree. She has always been able to properly diagnose my visual problems, where other opthomologists have been lacking. I appreciate her expertice, knowledge and skill.
UofU Patient September 19, 2012I have recommended Dr. Digre to 5 other people because of the great quality of care and advice that I received. Very thankful to have someone (finally) that can help me.
UofU Patient September 17, 2012Dr. Digre treats me as if i were her only patient and my needs are her most important priority. We couldn't ask for a more compassionate and caring doctor, always going the extra mile.
UofU Patient August 13, 2012I was very impressed by the care that I received. I would definitely recommend Dr Digre & and Moran Eye Center to anyone in need.
UofU Patient August 10, 2012What can I say? Dr. Digre is the best! It never feels as though she is rushing through my appointment and she always listens to what I am saying VERY carefully and makes sure that I completely understand the plan and am ok with it.
UofU Patient July 30, 2012Dr. Digre is very thorough and offers her best suggestions although I have not yet taken the medication she has recommended. I just don't want another pill.
UofU Patient July 16, 2012very good
UofU Patient July 16, 2012High quality people giving care and service
UofU Patient July 10, 2012I have always had a great experience at The Moran Eye Center. Dr. Digre is just the best. The PA's and others have always been so friendly and prompt.
UofU Patient July 09, 2012Outstanding care. I could go on and on with praise. but I'll just say that everyone who
UofU Patient July 02, 2012Dr. Digre and her fellow were respectful, helpful, and extremely knowledgeable. They gave us answers and hope where other doctors had just told us they had no idea what to do. They treated my husband and me with respect and kindness. I would definitely re
UofU Patient June 29, 2012Dr Digre is an amazing doctor. She gave me an increible amount of information. My issues are in regard t o the way I was ushered out at the end of the day. It had been a long day for both of us I'm sure, however, in only having met me on the day of my visit I needed to dicuss further the information given and needed further questions answered. I disagree with some of the findings and would have liked to clarify that information further. When I asked some questions the doctor gave cliche' answers. Again, was completely impressed with Dr. Digre's knowlege and the information, but left the office feeling deflated and rushed out the door with many unanswered questions.
UofU Patient June 29, 2012This is one of the best experiences I have had
UofU Patient June 18, 2012Dr. Digre is #1 in my book. She shows the same concern every time I have an appointment. I have come to rely on her expertise. I feel extremely blessed to have Dr. Digre as my care provider.
UofU Patient June 13, 2012I am always impressed with the degree at which Dr. Digre shows compassion and concern. She also shows a positive impression for a good outlook and confidence.
UofU Patient June 13, 2012the dr spent a lot of time which i really appreciate, but sometimes seemed to disregard the symptoms i described. then i was concerned when i got the followup ltr and there were inaccuracies in it. not sure if the dr or nurse typed up the report, but it was misleading
UofU Patient June 08, 2012The care provider seemed really interested in may case, helped clear up some questions I had, and was helpful with suggestions for what I could do to reduce number of incidents I get.
UofU Patient June 08, 2012Dr. Digre is an excellent example of what a great Dr. is: she shows concerns, uses words and make sure that i understood and shows concern about my problems, excellent Dr. with attention to detail and compassion for her patients.
UofU Patient June 04, 2012A "Very good" rating is too low to express my rating.
UofU Patient May 10, 2012Dr. Digre is wonderful! I wish she had better people working with her. John and Ann act like they can't be bothered with patients. It's bad. But like I said, Dr. Digre is wonderful! She is a great doctor! She has helped me very much over the past years.
UofU Patient May 10, 2012Much more positive experience this visit. I appreciate this very much. Congratulations to Dr. Digre and her husband on the distinguished award they received. They surely deserved it!
UofU Patient April 17, 2012My experience at the Neurology Dept., from the making of the appointment, to the registering, the vitals taken, and my time with Dr. Digree could NOT be improved. I've had superb and thoughtful attention, and caring attention.
UofU Patient March 29, 2012The entire process of my visit to the clinic was as comfortable, comforting informative as I can imagine it could be. My confidence in my doctor and the staff is absolute. I will and have been recommending this clinic and doctor to anyone who will listen.
UofU Patient March 29, 2012very good
UofU Patient March 27, 2012very good she is awesome
UofU Patient March 22, 2012It took four years to find solutions to my problems and I found them here!
UofU Patient March 20, 2012I have been to many different doctors trying to figure out my headaches. I have never felt so understood and had such a detailed examination. I felt like there was a plan in place and a direction to follow when I left the office. I have never had a doctor spend so much time with me and make me feel like I was the only patient in the office at that time. I really was so grateful for this visit.
UofU Patient January 26, 2012Wish all doctors communicated as well and cared
UofU Patient January 26, 2012Dr. Digre was great the resident was a little degrading in how she responded to me at times.
UofU Patient January 05, 2012Dr. Digre was the first to have much of answer for all this, other than Dr Scheuller who sent me to you, can't tell you how much relief it was just to know what we are dealing with
UofU Patient January 05, 2012You all are doing a great service with your knowledge of our eyes etc.
UofU Patient January 05, 2012My only comment is that Dr. Digre talked a little too fast and it felt like she was hurrying a little too fast to get us done and out the door. Maybe she always works that fast. But it felt like it had been a long hard day with an unusual happening in the office that delayed things a lot and we were the last patient of the day and she was in a hurry to get us through and out the door. She really talked fast and it was hard to follow her and keep up.
