Issue with foot not yet resolved!

April 03, 2013

Dr. Beals has been wonderful; he's an excellent surgeon, and a fine man. I have really appreciated his care and concern for my health. Thank you again so very much.

April 01, 2013

Very impressive doctor - friendly and yet super knowledgeable. Solved my problem for which I'd nearly given up hope of solving.

March 11, 2013

I have the highest regard for Dr. Beals and he was very attentive in talking to me and instructive of what I needed to do to help alleviate my foot problem.

February 26, 2013

Dr. Beal's really took the time with us to explain the plan for my daughter's surgery, and our concerns.

February 26, 2013

Even though it was a long wait we love Dr. Beals.

February 25, 2013

He was great and very helpful

February 25, 2013

Dr Beals is one of the best, knowledgeable, concerned and friendly Dr. I have ever experienced. He listens to you and determines if your symptons validate what the pictures show as the problem. If they are different, he tries to come up with a suggestion as to next steps to be taken.

February 18, 2013

Dr. Beal's and his staff are amazing. No complaints, except for the extraordinary wait time.

February 18, 2013

Dr. Beals did a great job with my surgery. I forgot to thank him for that at this visit. If this message can be passed on to him from me, please do so.

February 18, 2013

I feel very confident in my decision to choose U of U and with my Dr to perform my ankle surgery.

February 18, 2013

I really appreciate Dr. Beals' conservative approach.

January 14, 2013

Dr. Beal's and all of the attending personnel were excelent.

December 31, 2012

I came from another orthopedist ( not unhappy with him but a change in insurance networks contracts had eliminated him). Though I wasn't un happer with former at the time, I was really enthused by Dr Beals and resident by time and thoroughness. And a recommendation that there were possible repercussions of having surgery on adjacent joints. Dr.Beals could empathize by telling me how he treats his own osteoarthritis. He said (unlike the previous doctor) that he thought waiting rather than surgery was the better option.

December 10, 2012

Dr. Beals made another doctor (Skip Coleman) aware of my presence as I was a former patient. I really appreciated that extra effort because it relieved some of the stress of my visit there and the procedure I am facing. Dr Beals was also making good use of a learning opportunity for the Resident Physician (James) and showed particular interest in my case and me

December 10, 2012

Dr. Beals is exceptional--a great physician.

December 03, 2012

Dr beals is very down to earth and easy to talk to.

November 19, 2012

As always, I think of all the questions I want to aske AFTER I leave. I still have some questions. He said I had a strange combination of injuries. Why didn't I just say "What do you mean?" That's why I went to him was to find out specifics and then I don't ask while I was in there. There was a spot on my MRI (cuboid area-ish) my dr here wasn't sure about... wanted to ask Dr. Beal about it.

November 05, 2012

Felt like we were the only thing he had going that day! Impressed with time spent and the extent of exam.

November 05, 2012

In spite of the long wait, it was worth it to see Dr Beals and get the good news.

November 01, 2012

Dr. Beals is great, the wait time is rediculous

October 24, 2012

Really, this was excellent service.

October 15, 2012

Dr. Beals took care and used good sterile technique when removing stitches. He cautioned me to wait a period of time before walking because of the placement of the incision ( stitches). It's always a good experience to see him.

October 15, 2012

Dr. Beals is awesome!

October 09, 2012

Dr. Beals has always been very attentive and listened to my concerns. He clarified the procedures and answered my questions.

September 29, 2012

Dr. Beals is a good man

September 14, 2012

I appreciate that Dr. Beals listens to his patients and gives them the time they need. I have always felt that way about how he has dealt with me. However, I wish I had been informed that he was delayed with another patient while I waited for over an hour for him.

September 04, 2012

He is so good that I would place my life in his hands if need be.

August 06, 2012

Everything was most excellent. Well above my expectations!

August 06, 2012

This was a very good experience from the beginning. Dr.Beals explained the process and my options to me and answered all my questions very patiently, the staff, the anesthesiologists and the nurses were very nice and made me feel very much at ease. I could not have the progress I have had without their help and support.

July 30, 2012

All care providers did their very best to accomodate my needs. The Doctor was especially great in explaining my problems and solutions. I really don't have the adequate words to describe how pleased I was with the visit.

July 23, 2012

He listened to my concerns very carefully and then reviewed the problems with my feet and ankles. He then clearly outlined the best way to try to relieve the pain. He was very thorough and spent the necessary time not hurying through the examination. [

July 23, 2012

Dr. Beals is exceptional at what he does. He is fantastic. But, if he is going to spend a long, long time with every patient and know this is going to put him so far behind, his appts should be scheduled further apart so patients don't have to experienc

July 10, 2012

Dr. Beals rocks. Great bedside manner. He's one of the nicest doctors I've ever had.

June 28, 2012

I felt confident and relieved to have such great care from Dr. Beals and staff.

Dr. Beals is the best!!

April 13, 2012

I would recommend Dr. Beals to anyone with foot problems

April 06, 2012

Excellant

March 30, 2012

Dr. Beal's explanation of his analysis of my problem and treatment were clear.

March 30, 2012

Dr. Beals is great. Just wish the wait times could somehow be improved. I do appreciate that he takes extra care with patients but maybe that should be factored into scheduling. I need to make money too and staying excessively long in waiting impacts me also.
