UofU Patient May 06, 2013
Dr. Vanhorn is great at listening to and addressing any of my concerns. This is my first pregnancy, and I am amazed at how patient she is with me. She goes the extra mile to assure me everything is going as expected. She has a great balance of high energy friendliness and seriousness about medical issues. I absolutely love her!
UofU Patient May 06, 2013I wish I could see my doctor and build a relationship with her. It is hard to get to know someone in just one visit. I not feel like any doctor should have more patients than they are able to see. I want to be more than just a number. I value relationship.
UofU Patient April 28, 2013I have enjoyed working with all the NP's and Dr. Vanhorn. They have kept me well informed. Have been very courteous and professional. I felt that they have showed good concern and listen when I talk with them about any concerns I may have. I felt that they addressed my questions very thoroughly. I like that they always take the time to sit and listen to me. It makes me feel more valued as a patient.
UofU Patient April 23, 2013I appreciated Dr. Van Horn calling me, herself, to let me know the results of my test.
UofU Patient April 15, 2013I have only met my OB once at my 1st appt. (after waiting 2 1/2 hours), since then, I have only been seen by a NP for 30 weeks of my pregnancy. I was not happy with the care I was receiving, so I switched to a new OB at 31 weeks. I am VERY happy now.
UofU Patient April 15, 2013Dr. Vanhorn has such great enthusiasm why showing genuine concern. A nice combination. She is attentive and patient with my many questions. Love her!
UofU Patient April 03, 2013These comments all apply to the care provided by Dr. Trauscht Van Horn who was excellent. I had far less confidence in the PA who saw me prior to the Dr. visit.
UofU Patient March 25, 2013GOOD
UofU Patient March 20, 2013Dr. Van Hornw was amazing. I feel like she really cares
UofU Patient March 15, 2013Dr vanhorn is amazing! Best doctor i have ever had
UofU Patient March 15, 2013NP Kathleen and Dr. VanHorn were very kind and attentive
UofU Patient March 13, 2013Dr. Van Horn and Rita are both wonderful to work with.
UofU Patient February 18, 2013good experience
UofU Patient February 18, 2013I have never had the MD or the midwife talk to me about nutrition or appropriate weight gain during my pregnancy. Why isn't this part of the standard?
UofU Patient February 18, 2013Kathleen Frame was great at listening to my problem and desire for treatment. I felt very safe in her care and appreciated her listening to me so well.
UofU Patient January 28, 2013The doctor was excellent - very professional, intelligent, and caring. In addition, she takes the time to explain the procedures as she is performing them and to listen patiently to any of my concerns. Could not ask for a better Ob/Gyn - a credit to this hospital and its community of doctors.
UofU Patient January 28, 2013I love my doctor and her staff. Everyone is always courteous and considerate.
UofU Patient January 21, 2013I love Dr. Van Horn. She is extremely competent and pleasant and I always feel my questions answered and that I've been well taken care of in her care.
UofU Patient January 18, 2013Dr. Van Horn is always nice, and always answers my question. However, I am 30 weeks pregnant, and have only had 2 appointments with her. The rest have been with either the midwife or a nurse practitioner. Since I am in my last trimester, I now always request to be seen by Dr. Van Horn. However, I feel that I should not have to ask to be seen by my doctor- I feel that I should be seen by my doctor at all of my appointments, unless she is sick or on vacation.
UofU Patient January 15, 2013Dr Van Horn is awesome. She is very caring and informative.
UofU Patient January 14, 2013I think the staff and providers in Clinic 4 should have an in-service about the Hypnobirthing class offered at the U hospital.
UofU Patient January 09, 2013very friendly, shows concern and explains things well.
UofU Patient December 31, 2012My friends need a gynecologist familiar with problems experienced by older women. I would recommend Jennifer to someone who is pregnant or of childbearing age. She did refer me to a neurologist. I'd like to know about the specialties of different gynecologists.
UofU Patient December 20, 2012I was scared to death of the LEEP procedure. Dr. Vanhorn and the Nurse were able to sedate me and I am so grateful. I feel they went out of their way and showed genuine concern for my health. I cannot thank you enough for making this tolerable, you promised it would be and I can't thank you enough for your care and concern!
UofU Patient December 19, 2012I would recommend the nurse I saw, but not my doctor that I was supposed to see.
UofU Patient December 10, 2012Dr. Van horn was wonderful, and actually called me at home later to follow up on the appointment.

UofU Patient November 05, 2012I thought she was very nice. She answered all my questions and went over my medications and what to do with them with my medical history.
UofU Patient October 22, 2012I really like my doctor though and liked the midwife I saw also.
UofU Patient October 15, 2012Been with Dr. Van Horn for many years.......great lady and fantastic doctor
UofU Patient September 24, 2012It has been ~9 months since I last saw Dr. Van Horn. She clearly reviewed my chart and my history before I met with her -- there were details about my history (both medical and personal) that she knew and asked about when we talked. Her attention to detail made me feel extremely well cared for. I have already recommended her to friends of mine, and I will continue to do so!
UofU Patient September 21, 2012I would highly recommed Vanhorn to anyone! She is very thoughtful and helps me out on things i need answered and my concerns.
UofU Patient August 16, 2012I would love to recommend Dr Van Horn to others
UofU Patient July 25, 2012She is an excellent doctor so I have no problems waiting to get an appointment or waiting in the waiting room.
UofU Patient July 16, 2012The PA is always so welcoming and happy! The NP is so nice and calming to help me with my answers. the Doctor (vanhorn) is just so happy and always has a smile on her face which i love to see that makes me know she loves her job and what she does is what
UofU Patient July 16, 2012I love how thorough she is in answering my questions. such a nice Dr!
UofU Patient June 11, 2012Dr van horn in awesome
UofU Patient June 11, 2012What is not to love about Dr. Vanhorn?? She is so positive and caring - I love her! I felt that all of my questions were answered, and she followed up on my labs. I feel fortunate to have her as my physician.
UofU Patient June 04, 2012Dr. Van Horn is a very caring doctor.
UofU Patient May 09, 2012I felt very comfortable and welcomed.
UofU Patient April 25, 2012I have recommended Dr. Van-Horn to many friends.
UofU Patient April 19, 2012The appointment only lasted 5 minutes so there wasn't that much discussed. Just a normal monthly check-up.
UofU Patient April 17, 2012Dr van horn is wonderful. She spends time answering all of my questions and is open to giving me options about how my birth will go.
UofU Patient April 13, 2012I am grateful to have such good care at this clinic. I feel like Dr. Vanhorn and Rita care about my health and are always willing to answer any questions or talk about any concerns that I have. They are both very kind and knowledgable.
UofU Patient April 04, 2012Vanhorn is always enthusiastic and welcoming. She is thorough and detailed. I enjoyed my experience here.
UofU Patient April 04, 2012Dr Vanhorn is great! So lucky I found her
UofU Patient February 14, 2012I love Dr. Van Horn, she is a awesome provider and makes you feel like you are her only patient!!
UofU Patient February 13, 2012My doctor always spends a great deal of time to talk about my issues.
UofU Patient February 09, 2012Had a wonderful experience with physician.
UofU Patient February 09, 2012I didn't get much time with the Doctor herself because the clinic was very busy. I understand this however, and was not angry or annoyed. I just dont know her well enough to say if I'm confident or not in her and if I would recommend her.
UofU Patient February 08, 2012My past three visits were with NPs, they were all great, but I do want to see the doctor herself, so maybe space out the doctor's times with NPs so I feel I get seen by the doctor herself more often.
UofU Patient January 26, 2012It would be nice if the providers use some diagram to explain things since everything was done by orally.
UofU Patient January 13, 2012I have had very very good experiences with Dr. Van Horn, and have already recommended her to a number of my friends.
UofU Patient January 10, 2012Dr. Vanhorn called me after my last visit and answered other questions by phone; I was very impressed that she would call me personally not just have a secretary call
