UofU Patient May 09, 2013
Dr. Petron was very through as was his fellow resident.
UofU Patient May 03, 2013There were no bad experiences so far.
UofU Patient April 26, 2013The youngest medical professional ("Dr. Toby"?) had incredible people skills. The resident (a woman, sorry don't remember the name) was continuously curious, which helped her figure out the problem. Dr. Petron figured out what to do about it. All-in-all, a great team effort.
UofU Patient April 22, 2013The talk was pleasant and informative.
UofU Patient April 19, 2013I spent more time with the fellow than the Doctor. They were both friendly, but I would prefer to spend more time with the actual provider I am scheduled to see.
UofU Patient April 17, 2013Dr. Petron is amazing. I really appreciate all he does for me and my knees.
UofU Patient April 06, 2013Great
UofU Patient April 01, 2013Dr. Petron is a prince. Can't say enough about him and the care he gives.
UofU Patient April 01, 2013Dr. Petron has been my orthopedist for the past 6 years. He has always provided practical advice on my osteoarthritis. I have a trusting relationship with him as a medical services provider.
UofU Patient March 25, 2013Dr. Petron got me right in for MRI after I saw him. Dr. Petron is very friendly but quick. He gets what he needs to get done in a very short time.
UofU Patient March 15, 2013Both the visiting resident and Dr Petron were caring, concerned, and took the time needed to address my concerns & make sure I understood the plan of care.
UofU Patient March 12, 2013Dr Petron is very kind and caring, I have great trust in him
UofU Patient March 11, 2013I felt like a was a study specimen as he was explaining my conditions to the residents more than to me
UofU Patient March 05, 2013Maybe a tiny bit rushed--this is a very busy practice and I could see the faculty and satff hustling to take good care of so many patients.
UofU Patient March 05, 2013Great experience!
UofU Patient March 02, 2013I have recommended the procedure and Dr to 2 other people. I hope their insurance will allow them to have the help they need.
UofU Patient February 26, 2013It meant a lot that the PA would go through the trouble of providing me with a copy of my x-rays.
UofU Patient February 18, 2013I have utmost faith and trust in Dr. Petron and recommend him to all my friends and family.
UofU Patient February 11, 2013Dr.Petron spent a great deal of time with me and did not appear rushed.
UofU Patient February 11, 2013Very efficient getting me to the correct specialist.
UofU Patient February 04, 2013I am just complicated and they were great with me!!
UofU Patient January 28, 2013Again I love Dr. Petron but felt very rushed. I was told that I was going to need surgery and they scheduled me for an MRI. However, they were unable to inform me if I was going to need to drink contrast stating that it was up to the radiology technician. Dr. Petron talked with his PA more than he talked with me. I was told nothing about the surgery and sent on my way with some pain medication and an MRI appointment. I am expecting more information after the MRI.
UofU Patient January 23, 2013I have already recommended the Ortho Center and will continue to do so. Dr. Petron, Bob and the staff are just awesome!
UofU Patient January 22, 2013He was great.
UofU Patient January 22, 2013I was there for an injection. Dr. Petron did an excellent job.
UofU Patient January 18, 2013I will recommend Dr. Petron...
UofU Patient January 14, 2013Came into exam room without previewing record. I know everything is computerized but think the electronic record should be reviewed before he comes into the room.
UofU Patient January 07, 2013Thanks, Dr. Petron, for always showing concern and for taking good care of me!
UofU Patient January 04, 2013Dr. Petron has always taken every step to ensure that I was as comfortable as could be, and did everything possible to get me back to normal.( or as close to it as I come! ) I have faith in him and tell anyone I know that he is the greatest Dr. I have ever had. And I have seen a few!
UofU Patient January 02, 2013Both Dr. Petron and Bob Toth were great. Bob spent the most time with me and was very good. Dr. Petron was also very good. I felt comfortable discussing my condition with them and they were very good at conveying to me what was going on in a manner that I understood.
UofU Patient December 26, 2012did not discuss bone spur, which is secondary pblm. will ask at my follow-up visit.
UofU Patient December 24, 2012Dr. Petron and his PA provide excellent care
UofU Patient December 14, 2012I have recommended Dr. Petron to many of my friends and acquaintances. My son is also Dr. Petron's patient.
UofU Patient December 07, 2012Joy English was my first contact with an MD, she took her time and explained things to my understanding. However, Dr. Petron was a blast in and out with an ok that sounds good, let's do that. Rather short and sweet.
UofU Patient December 07, 2012Dr. Petron was great in helping me understand what was wrong. He helped me get the necessary treatment as quick as possible.
UofU Patient December 03, 2012Dr Patron and Dr Plet are the best.
UofU Patient November 28, 2012This was my first visit with Dr. Petron. I wasn't sure what to expect, considering his name on the pictures of all the famous people in the waiting room. He was very friendly and I felt confident in him as health care provider.
UofU Patient November 22, 2012Once in the exam room, my experience was very good.
UofU Patient November 19, 2012I have already recommended Dr. Petron to a friend.
UofU Patient November 19, 2012good
UofU Patient November 16, 2012Both Dr. Petron and his PA were very professional, patient and easy to talk to. They both listened to and "heard" my questions and concerns. An excellent experience.
UofU Patient November 13, 2012Dr Petron and his staff are always EXCELLENT in taking care of my needs
UofU Patient November 12, 2012The doctor was awesome.
UofU Patient November 06, 2012Excellent experience
UofU Patient October 31, 2012Dr. Petron came in the room after reviewing my chart so he knew the specifics of the case. He is personable and friendly
UofU Patient October 30, 2012Dr. Petron is the best. He has a great bed-side mannor and is always friendly and fun.
UofU Patient October 30, 2012t i was very grateful that dr. petron was there.
UofU Patient October 30, 2012He was knowledgeable and communicated well.
UofU Patient October 22, 2012Although the doctor was busy he took the time to discuss a related problem with me--he asked questions, examined my joints, and generally helped alleviate an orthopedic problem i was having
UofU Patient October 16, 2012Dr. Petron is an excellent provider. He knows what he's doing and he explains everything very well.
UofU Patient October 16, 2012The injections have decreased my pain level. I am happy with your team and the results.
UofU Patient October 09, 2012I have recommended Dr. Petron to others including my husband and other family members
UofU Patient October 09, 2012Excellent
UofU Patient October 08, 2012The time I spent with Dr. Petron on the telephone was more than adequate.
UofU Patient October 08, 2012Dr. Petron is an excellent provider and I have always been very happy with the care that he has provided for me through the years.
UofU Patient October 02, 2012The provider spoke directly to the PA when viewing my MRI and did not explain to me what I was seeing. Perhaps I wasn't aggressive enough (I'm not shy), but I think that explaining the film directly to the patient is important - shouldn't have to ask.
UofU Patient October 01, 2012Time was short with the doctor
UofU Patient September 24, 2012I have seen Dr. Petron before, and trust his judgement.
UofU Patient September 24, 2012Really like Dr. Petron. Very kind and concerned. If I have to have the surgery, I would want him to do it.
UofU Patient September 24, 2012great experience, diagnosis i agree, but swelling persist and feel pt should maybe be put on hold. i am planning another visit very soon. my first thought was how professional everyone was, i felt comfortable with everyone involved.
UofU Patient August 31, 2012A great experience overall for a procedure I'd been nervous about and heard horror stories about from other people.
UofU Patient August 28, 2012I liked Dr Petron. He was very approachable and helpful.
UofU Patient August 27, 2012Dr. Petron has been patching me up for many years now, and has done a fantastic job of keeping me going. I recommend him highly to anyone I meet who has ortho problems.
UofU Patient August 22, 2012Dr. Petron was extremely nice and very professional about my injury and what I needed to accomplish in order to heal quickly
UofU Patient August 13, 2012I have never been treated better by any clinic anywhere. Kudos
UofU Patient August 09, 2012I've always felt that his was sound, the best.
UofU Patient August 08, 2012Dr. Petron is very good but also very pressed for time. He does a good job explaining issues in that limited time but he could improve on checking for understanding.
UofU Patient August 06, 2012Very efficient and professional in all areas!
UofU Patient August 06, 2012MD very friendly, and able to convey concern & not appear hurried, eventhough he obviously had a very busy clinic.
UofU Patient August 03, 2012despite my appointment being pushed back an hour, the service was excellent from both the primary, 1st yr residents and PAs. I was actually impressed by the service provided.
UofU Patient August 03, 2012Dr Petron and his PA, Bob were excellent and I have already referred.
UofU Patient July 30, 2012Again, I felt I was not well informed about the results of the MRI I had earlier in the day, and in fact was never even told if I needed to make a follow up appointment. Although everyone I worked with was awesome, it seemed like a very rushed procedure.
UofU Patient July 30, 2012Felt rushed, had questions I didn't get a chance to ask. There were to many patients and not enough time.
UofU Patient July 30, 2012I felt like it was professionally done.
UofU Patient July 30, 2012If he spent this little time with everyone and I was a new patient, I don't understand how he could be so far behind.
UofU Patient June 29, 2012Dr Peteron and his staff were great. I appreciated the time Dr Petron spent helping me understand the issues and how to treat my health problem.
UofU Patient June 28, 2012I would recomned him to any one
UofU Patient June 18, 2012Dr. Petron is one of the best
UofU Patient June 18, 2012Felt like Dr. Petron took time to answer my questions and took the time to go beyond the scope of why i was there to explin what was going on with me and how he felt that it would resolve a lot of my issues when i have surgery.
UofU Patient June 18, 2012I left without a clear understanding of my diagnosis. I can't tell you what specific tendon is having what specific problem, or what specific muscle isn't tracking properly in my shoulder.
UofU Patient June 18, 2012My recommendations will be on skill and knowledge that I felt my health care provider had. That's what makes me come back and recommend.
UofU Patient June 18, 2012Very good
UofU Patient June 13, 2012Dr. Petron is the man the myth and legend!!!
UofU Patient May 16, 2012I was still a little unsure about the plan for my recovery, timing on recovery and what would need to be done, however I think this may have to do with the fact that my ankle was so swollen, maybe the doctors don't know a plan or timing yet.
UofU Patient May 04, 2012I had difficulty with the injections (vaso-vagal response) and they took quick care of me and tended to my needs. Very helpful.
UofU Patient May 04, 2012The doctor was unclear about the treatments he wanted me to do. However he was very friendly and caring.
UofU Patient May 01, 2012This was one of the better /best experiences I've had in regards to feeling heard and being walked through what was going to happen. I was nervous about not being taken seriously because my injury doesn't cause me constant pain. Its induced from certain activities. I feel Dr Petron understood my want to be as active as I used to be.
UofU Patient May 01, 2012They came in, see me, ask for the condition, when out, came back, drain fluid, when out, and never came back. Here then came the nurse at 5:00 PM on Friday, told me I can leave. I was laying on the bed with my shoe and sock of and still waiting for further instruction. Then I was asked to leave. With the condition of my knee on that day, I couldn't even wear the sock by myself. I was asked to leave in pain, without proper help and further instructions. I was frustrated about the medical service that I received.
UofU Patient May 01, 2012Dr. Petron did an effective job and was quite personable and responsive.
UofU Patient May 01, 2012Very favorable impressions
UofU Patient April 24, 2012Dr. Petron is fantastic. I couldn't ask for anything better from him as a doctor or his staff. A++++ all the way.
UofU Patient April 20, 2012Dr. Petron is fantastic! Very easy to talk to, answered all my questions, explained treatment options. I would recommend these providers to anyone.
UofU Patient April 19, 2012the Doctor seemed to be too busy or behind to even take a look at my file before he came in the room, he thought I had arthritis, I have TOTAL loss of all cartlidge between both knees, not even close
UofU Patient April 19, 2012I think DR Petron is one of the very best, always professional, timely and efficient.
UofU Patient March 31, 2012I asked about one of the six injections. When I asked about whether there was a problem, I did not get what I believe was an adequate explanation. This one was out of alignment with the others and still do not know why.
UofU Patient March 30, 2012Dr. Petron always goes the extra mile in providing care and information. At this visit he really assisted me with a minor secondary item--the removal of a troublesome corn/callus on my foot that I didn't expect but really appreciated that he did. I have recommended Dr. Petron to many people on numerous occasions. really appreciated.
UofU Patient March 27, 2012I was impressed with everyone who took care of me. It was nice that we were able to talk on a level that was comfortable for all of us. I appreciate the time that was taken and I felt that I was able to voice all of my concerns. The doctors answered my concerns, provided the information that I needed. They were both very friendly. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs their services.
UofU Patient March 27, 2012I am unhappy that I waited 60 minutes to see this doctor and he spent less than 5 minutes with me in the examining room. Furthermore, he wasn't going to give me a prescription for physical therapy - I had to ask for it and then he said "oh, that might be a good idea". Very disappointed. I will go out of my way to recommend that friends and acquaintances do NOT go to him.
UofU Patient March 27, 2012Petron is Excellent and he knows his stuff but is often times very busy.
UofU Patient March 23, 2012Dr Petron was appropriate in medical evaluation. I appreciated that they took the time to investigate and listened to my LONG answers and they stated they actually benefited from additional information that I shared even though it was from an injury 10 months prior. Thank-you.
UofU Patient March 16, 2012my visit was very positive
UofU Patient March 02, 2012The Dr. went right to the problem and solution. I received an injection the very 1st visit which helped my shoulder almost immediately. Excellent care.
UofU Patient February 23, 2012Dr. Petron and team have been outstanding to work with and I would gladly recommend them to anyone needing lower back care (as it relates only to my injury).
UofU Patient February 23, 2012The fellow performed the procedure with Dr. Petron supervising. The fellow did a great job!
UofU Patient February 16, 2012Dr. Petron is always good with me!
UofU Patient February 14, 2012Dr. Petron and staff are outstanding in terms of bedside manner and explaining options for care.
UofU Patient February 10, 2012Dr petron in very good but always in a hurry
UofU Patient February 07, 2012Petron is the best!!!
UofU Patient February 02, 2012I didn't think about it at the time but 2 days later I realized I needed pain medications so I could sleep. I wish I was offered that when I was in the office the first time.
UofU Patient January 27, 2012The PA was very nice and explained things very clearly. The Doctor appeared very confident and experienced. I still need to find out the issue, which is the only negative thing about my visit. I'm scheduled for an MRI and follow-up visit later this month. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to contact the MRI lab to find out if I need to prepare for the lab procedure in any way before showing up (fasting, what to wear, or not to wear, etc.) because no one at the office told me anything about it.
UofU Patient January 26, 2012Yes, I will tell others.
UofU Patient January 19, 2012Dr Petron and his staff were attentive and responsive to my needs. Fantastic job.
UofU Patient January 10, 2012Dr. Petron is excellent. Goes right to the issue, treated it right away, made suggestions about the short and long term prospects of knee injury treatment, etc.
UofU Patient January 07, 2012Dr. Petron is caring, kind and expert care provider. He is amazing, that is all I can say.
UofU Patient January 06, 2012Although the doctor didn't spend a lot of time with me, he spent the necessary time with me given my problem. There was not a need for more time--he explained the cause and treatment and I was on my way.
UofU Patient January 03, 2012i've recommended you to everyone I know.
