I adore Susan and am almost disappointed I don't need to come back for a year.

May 06, 2013

The conversation about the meds was frank and informative as we discussed what was going on and what my options were.

May 02, 2013

Dr. Brennan took the time to tell me what he was doing and explaining any issues I may run across from this procedure. he was great!

May 01, 2013

Always have great experience with Susan Baggaley. I have a great deal of confidence in her and her ability to meet my medical issues and needs.

April 08, 2013

It is impossible to have a bad experience with Susan Baggaley. She has given me a new lease on life and the only problem I now have, is that I anticipate and expect the same from any physician only to be quickly disappointed. My expectations are now much higher because of the excellence of Susan's treatment of her patients.

March 23, 2013

Not as caring as she used to be. Tried talking to her about paper work I need her to feel out and she was very cold I know I have more health problems but my migaines are almost every day. I can Not work with my head aces the way they are.

March 08, 2013

She took the time to listen and make sure all of my questions were answered. She was very personable.

February 18, 2013

Susan is amazing, friendly, caring, knowledgable and helpful

February 18, 2013

Very nice and understanding. She also has a great sense of humor and makes you feel comfortable.

February 08, 2013

I think every doctor I've ever seen could take lessons on both professionalism and communications from Ms. Baggaley.

January 18, 2013

MY LIFE IS SO IMPROVED WITH SUSANS HELP!

January 14, 2013

Susan Baggeley is always so friendly and encouraging. I have full confidence in her ability to manage my care.

January 12, 2013

Susan Baggley also treated my headaches 5 years ago when I was last in Utah. Her knowledge on the topic is considerable and she does take a comprehensive approach that I appreciate. Another headache specialist pulled out a card with a list of medications and told me I could try any of them. Since I have medical experience he assumed that I knew what was best. My headaches have been difficult to manage and are related to other issues, I have also had very serious adverse medication events. Susan did spend time reviewing prior experiences, my current needs, and concerns. I appreciate that she made recommendations and took time to explain her plan and reasoning.

December 26, 2012

Dr Susan Bagley is by a far stretch one of the finest Dr's I have been associated with....

December 20, 2012

Susan is always concerned about what is going on in my life and how I am feeling. She goes over everything completely and makes sure I have no questions and that I understand everything we have gone over.

December 14, 2012

Susan Baggalay is one in a million. If every provider I ever had was like her I would be happy forever. She is brilliant, funny, compassionate and knowledgeable. She is respectful. I adore her. (And I am not her mother.) I am so lucky to have found a medical person who understands migraine and other issues I have that relate to my health. I feel totally trusting of whatever she recommends. She follows through with contacting my other care providers and does not treat my headaches in a vacuum, but uses all the medical information about me to provide wrap around services. About a year ago I had a serious liver infection, and her timely response to the specialist on my case helped him respond to the medical problem I was having.

December 08, 2012

Susan is an awesome healthcare provider. I recommend her whenever I get a chance because the care she provides is simply exceptional.

December 05, 2012

I have never felt rushed. I feel at ease and appreciate the relaxed conversations. It is a thoroughly enjoyable experience to come to appointments. These comments are coming from a person that seldom gives positive feedback. Plus my headaches of many years are gone. Can it get any better?

December 04, 2012

Susan Baggaley is truly the most excellent care provider I have. She takes the time needed to listen and to find new solutions when something tried has failed. I would recommend her to anyone, and some of my friends are now her patients.

November 29, 2012

She is a great Dr. I feel confident with her and the office gives me a comfortable feeling. She is personable and never rushes my appointments.

November 20, 2012

Only saw a nurse.

Susan Baggaley is awesome. She is so good at what she does and is so knowledgeable. She has basically saved my life with migraine headaches.

November 05, 2012

Susan is excellent - a master in her field. I have been to many medical professionals trying to find relief from my pain. Susan let me know there were many treatment options available that I have not yet tried. I especially liked her straight forward way of communicating with me and her ability to relate to me. I left the clinic feeling less despairing about my condition and amazed at the level of care I received.

October 29, 2012

Susan saved me and because of her, I can now have my life back. I am a happy person.

October 23, 2012

Susan Baggaley is a very open, upfront person. It is refreshing to meet with someone who is willing to deal the problem at hand and also offer direct and clear responses to my questions.

I am always included in decisions about my care. Susan always makes sure I understand what is happening with my meds and how I am being treated. I appreciate everything everyone does to see that I am well taken care of. It is a pleasure to come to the clinic. I am treated with respect every step of the way by everyone with whom I come in contact.

June 07, 2012

Susan is an amazing provider. She is concerned about every aspect of my life as she knows it affects my condition. She is encouraging when necessary and tough when needed. She tells me what I need to hear, not just what I want to hear. I am extremely confident in her expertise and would recommend anyone to her for care.

May 17, 2012

Susan always goes out of her way to listen and address each need that is there. She is totally unique in her ability to relate to her patients and remember past issues that contribute to their care. She has done so much for me in my migraine care.

I have recently had a very large blood clot and went to the ER at Mckay Dee. I was released without understanding about the clot. Susan went through the whole thing, explain the blood clot and all that entails and how the blood clot effects my migraine and how we would work with the two. I appreciate Susan so much and trust her with taking care of me. She is a very loving and kind person. My only wish is that I could see her for all my heathcare needs.

After seeing several doctors about this condition over a period of several years it was a relief to finally see Susan. I felt that she was by far the most knowledgeable about my condition and I felt like she could finally be the end-all answer to my concerns. It was worth the wait to see her.

We are grateful for her expertisem, friendliness, compassion and sense of humore.

March 02, 2012

I believe I have already covered this information in previous answers.

February 28, 2012

I have been very satisfied with all of my clinic visits. However, I do not always receive very prompt follow-up from other means of communicating with clinician--calling in prescriptions, emails, etc.--which is a strong source of frustration to me, particularly as this is becoming a consistent pattern.

Love Susan Baggaley! Have recommended her to others.

January 31, 2012

Susan Baggaley is a wonderful provider. She is always able to answer my questions and addresses my concerns. She is very encouraging about my understanding my condition, and is willing to work with in my schedule as much as she can. I have recommended her to several friends due to her level of knowledge and care.

January 17, 2012

I have never had a provider who has listened as well as Susan does.

January 09, 2012

Susan is awesome! The ONLY complaint I would have is that she sometimes forgets to call when she says she will - for example, she says she will call with results of a blood test in a day or two and then she doesn't. This time she told me what to do in case she forgot to call, so I consider that an improvement:)

January 03, 2012

Susan is an excellent NP. She is straight-up answering my questions. She provided me with understandable terms and straight-forward outlook for my condition. She very pleasant, considerate and a person I trust. From the first visit, I knew the professional relationship would be good.
