Always appreciate quality of care and experience of Drs. I see at Huntsman

March 07, 2013

I was very satisfied with Dr. Glasgow's care - he cared not just for my well being but also that of my daughter who is my caretaker. Stomach surgery is a serious surgery and the post op care is a great deal. I felt we were very well informed about it, orally and in written form. Thanks Dr. Glasgow for taking care of me and for me the beautiful incision that I now bear on my belly; it is very smooth.

February 19, 2013

Dr. Glasgow is a very patient physician - he had to put up with my daughter's questions, which were not few. He explained to her and me in detailed manner the aftermath of the surgery and the care that would be needed throughout the recovery period. I knew he was an unusual physician when he visited me on a SATURDAY! Who said that bedside manners were a thing of the past? Dr. Glasgow is a living example of what a physician should be, without concern for the age, education or social status of a patient. I wam very fortunate he performed the GI surgery on me. Thank you.

Every time I have been to see Dr. Glasgow - I wait - even for quite a while. However, as soon as he enters the exam room - he treats me as if I was his most important patient. He takes his time explaining everything and makes sure I understand all my options. He is DEFINITELY worth the wait because he is THAT GOOD and I believe he treats all his patients the same way!
