mY VISIT WITH THE DR. SEEM QUICK. I DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO VOICE ALL MY QUESTION TO HER

Both the doctor and nurse practitioner were friendly, informative, and personable.

Dr. Khor is the most caring doctor I have ever had. She is professional, kind, caring and has helped me turn my life around. I have extreme confidence in her. I wish we had a lot more doctors like her. Dr. Khor is a great asset to the U of U hospital staff.

Dr Kohr was great. I'm looking forward to having her oversee my cardiac care.

My new doctor was extraordinary. She talked with me in a way that allowed me to understand what was happening and what needed to be done. She was clear and compassionate. She went over my instructions twice in a very orderly way that helped me to remember them and understand them. Thank you! Best visit with a doctor I have ever had. I truly appreciate the level of concern and compassion. To have a doctor and staff who truly have good caring hearts taking care of me and others with problems with our physical hearts is amazing. I believe you can't get any better than that!!
