very good

May 06, 2013

Sometimes I have to wait longer before seeing Dr. Randall; however I don't mind. I know from my own experience that he does not push his patients out until all of their issues have been addressed. I have a a really bad day and there have been times he has spent over an hour with me. So when I am waiting in the waiting or exam room I don't mind because I know that someone else is needing extra time to deal with their medical issues. I have never had a physician who is as compassionate and caring of and with his patients as Dr. Randall. I also like the fact that if he thinks surgery is not the answer and gives you a possibility of improvement he will not do it just to do it. That says a lot about him. I could never say enough fantastic and great things about Dr. Randall. It would take forever.

April 29, 2013

We did not get the results we were hoping for but we did get the care and honesty we expect. Dr Randal is wonderful and we appreciate him speaking honestly

February 17, 2013

Dr. Randall is my hero. I could not have gone through what I did without him. His knowledge, concern, care, the way he explained everything to me and my family was excellent. I can't complain at all.

February 04, 2013

Dr. Randall is one of the finest physicians I have ever met. He is super knowledgeable, skilled and really cares about his patients. My whole family considers him a friend. Huntsman and the SLC area are very fortunate to have one of the top sarcoma specialists in the world on staff!

Very capable and caring doctor, resident and PA.

January 15, 2013

Besides the long waits for the MRI and the delayed Dr. appointment time, the visit with Dr. Randall was fine. The sarcoma is gone and the leg is doing great.

Attitude of concern and willingness to share time and knowledge

August 26, 2012

My confidence in my surgeon is huge and I would recommend him without question.

August 03, 2012

I knew right off, the Dr knew what was going on. Very knowledgeable. I was pleased with the entire experience. I felt good the minute I walked through the door. The staff was very caring.

July 25, 2012

I was very grateful to get in to the specialty doctor but was a bit overwhelmed by all the physicians I had seen before him. When he came in it was very brief and it was to the point. I felt a bit like I was not quite of his intelligence...but I am grat

July 14, 2012

Dr. Randall was very friendly and professional, and I was left with the impression he was more concerned about proper treatment that pushing care. He said there were further tests that could be done but recommended against them in my case as a waste of ti

June 22, 2012

An amazing experience filled with trust building and knowledge with healing words.

June 15, 2012

We had some difficult questions and they were answered with professionalism, care, and compassion.

June 15, 2012

Dr. Randall was very sweet and caring. He actually took the initiative to schedule an xray of my hand from a past medical issue to follow-up on it as well as my new hip issue. I really appreciated that.

May 15, 2012

This was my last visit to HCI. I have been dismissed as cancer free. I couldn't have had better care, and I would reccomment them to anyone.

May 15, 2012

Dr. Randall has been a very caring, knowledgeable doctor. We have great confidence in him. He always says it is a privilege to treat me, and I believe he feels that way.

May 08, 2012

my experience was very good. I understood what he was telling me.

May 08, 2012

I have always been happy with any care giver experience at Huntsman.

April 24, 2012

When Dr Randall said that all thisappointment was for was for his curiosity I was upset because I figured that there was somthing that had been discovered on the previos scan that needed to be reevaluated. This was not the case.

April 10, 2012

I have nothing but good things to say about Huntsman. Everything from making the appointment to being seen, to my eventual surgery was seamless and although I had confidence in the staff and doctor from the outset, this efficiency made me feel REALLY good.

March 20, 2012

My experiences, all of them, here at the Institute have been very positive. I have been informed concerning my condition, I have had recommendations for treatment, and have had appointments with other physicians made for me rapidly which I could never have made myself.

March 20, 2012

very professional and genuinely cares about patient and their family

March 16, 2012

Dr. Randall spent plenty of time with me before the procedure, but none after. His PA spoke to me briefly.

February 14, 2012

This was a very difficult visit for my wife and I but Dr. Randall and his staff were frank, honest, clear and complete in their presentation of my situation and responses to our questions. They also demonstrated care and compassion for us which we greatly appreciated.

February 14, 2012

As I said, I am beyond grateful for the opportunity I have had to work with Dr. Randall and his team through all of this. I feel so strongly that my ability to cope so well with my diagnosis is in no small part due to my complete confidence in Dr. Randall and his staff. I know I am in the best possible hands. The factor that plays in my recovery and health moving forward is hugely important!

January 25, 2012

It was a busy day and time was in short supply for the doctor. Nevertheless, he gave me the time that I needed, so I tried not to hold him up unnecessarily. If there had been more time, we could have talked things over more, but at this point in my treatment process, it was not necessary for more. Mostly I'm making this point to say that even though it was a busy day, they spent the time with me that I needed.
