I have visited with Dr. Grossman every six months for 9 years and always found him to be thorough, professional and informative. We have almost become friends now. My visits with him and the staff are as comfortable as possible for the nature of the visit. My concerns are always welcome and discussions helpful. I am always invited to call at any time if I need to have something checked. I know that he would fit me into his schedule if it was needed. He is very interested in making sure we do not miss anything that leads to another surgery.

April 29, 2013

i can add nothing other than to say perfect

April 29, 2013

Dr. Grossman not only does his exam, he is willing to help lift the patient from his wheelchair to the exam chair and back--clearly above and beyond what most doctors do. He also spends probably twice the time with him.

April 01, 2013

Dr. Grossman and Dr. Bowen are personable, thorough and always take time to explain things completely to my satisfaction. I trust their care and would not consider going anywhere else for my dermatology needs.

March 26, 2013

My only negative comment is that my exam still seems too hasty. I have a large number of moles and it takes more time to look at my whole body carefully enough.

March 11, 2013

Dr. Grossman is very knowledgeable & kind.

March 07, 2013

very pleased with the care provided

March 05, 2013

great followup

February 26, 2013

I have already recommended Dr. Grossman/Huntsman Cancer Institute to others who wish to receive the care/services I am receiving, and I will continue to do so.

February 25, 2013

Dr. Grossman is friendly and very knowledgable.

February 20, 2013

Dr. Grossman even offered to instruct family member on what skin changes to note.

February 11, 2013

Both my daughter and I came for initial appts. I have had 2 different melanomas and my daughter was extremely anxious about the appt. The doctor quickly put her mind at ease and presented the option of body mapping to check the atypical moles. I have recommended this doctor to my other daughters who will come in for body mapping as well.

January 29, 2013

I appreciate the chance to see Dr Grossman for annual follow-up.

January 29, 2013

I always know I am in good hands with Dr. Grossman.

January 28, 2013

I'm always impressed with the access, responsiveness and speed of follow up from this clinic. It couldn't be any better!

January 21, 2013

FIrst time for me to see Dr. Grossman. I appreciated the time he spent. He didn't appear to be rushed and was thorough and listened carefully to me. PA Scerpico has been seeing me every 6 months for about 2 years now. Each time i see him I am astounded by the compassion, support, detailed explanations and over all care he puts into my appointments. I feel blessed and lucky each time i visit Hunstman based on the care i get from PA Scerpics. This feeling is supported by the front desk staff at Clinic D. Also the the overall cleanliness of the facility adn beautiful finishes and good food help too!

January 14, 2013

I had never been to that clinic or seen that doctor before, yet the nurse and doctor saw on my chart that it said I had been there before. That made me worry a bit that they had the wrong chart. I've never had a dermatology check before so I have nothing to compare it to, but I don't feel like I got a very thorough exam because he didn't look very well at every part of my body. I guess he saw enough though. An administrator asked if she could sit and observe the exam so she and the nurse were sitting on a small sofa in the exam room and it felt weird - like I was sitting in someone's living room while they sat there watching without assisting or commenting.

January 05, 2013

Dr. Grossman is a very good doctor, he is responsive and honest in his conversations with me. I appreciate this in him, and those working with him. The University of Utah is lucky to have a fine Doctor like Grossman.

over all very good

November 07, 2012

October 23, 2012

Dr. Grossman was very friendly to me and my wife. After the body exam, he showed my wife what signs of mole growths, to look for! He was more open and informative than in past. In the past, he seemed preoccupied with other concerns!

August 08, 2012

I felt a bit rushed. My questions were answered but somewhat abruptly. Doctor disappeared at end of examination as if he were late for another appointment. I would have liked him to say: "Do you have any further questions or concerns?"

July 31, 2012

Dr Grossman has been seeing me for over 10 years and in that time have diagnosed basal cell and melanoma. I honestly believe without their mole mapping program, these cancerous moles may not have been caught in an early, treatable stage. I can't say en

May 05, 2012

Sometimes I get the impression from my physician that he thinks I'm overreacting/ overly anxious

April 28, 2012

Thanks to Dr. Grossman and Huntsman staff for their time and help.

March 31, 2012

Dr. Grossman included me in the decision making process, this was excellent. He proposed that my husband check my skin monthly, which was good. He combined ths visit with my annual follow up tests, which was very helpful.

March 21, 2012

exam was a little hasty, skipped my scalp

March 14, 2012

I am a little concerned about a little pink mole, on my top right hand, that was of little conern to me or the doctor that has turned out to be cancerous and will need futher surgery!

March 14, 2012

February 25, 2012

Doctor didn't take any attention to my problem. Very rude and was not listening to anything. Spent only 5 or 10 minutes that too in hurry.

February 04, 2012

I have already recommended Dr. Grossman to a friend. I am very pleased with the care he provided and I will be back each year for my follow up visits. Dr. Grossman did a great job explaining what I need to do between now and the next time I see him. I will definitly recommend him to anyone seeking similar care.

I appreciate the chance to see Dr Grossman

January 04, 2012

I dont feel like the care provider (DR) really cares much for my concerns. I get the feeling like he feels I am waisting his time. Like my concerns are not severe enough to be bothering him.
