UofU Patient May 03, 2013Dr. Powell is impressive. I had seen her over a year before this appointment and she remember the specifics of my previous appts and details about me that I believe may not have been part of the medical record. I appreciated her concern for me.
UofU Patient April 30, 2013Amy was very helpful she listened to my questions and concerns and when I told her about my extremely upsetting experience with Shauna when I called trying to figure out where I needed to call to get help with my leg pain. Amy referred me to Dr. Cuniffe and got an appointment right away.

UofU Patient February 11, 2013Dr. Powell is not the only MD I have seen at this clinic. She is the only one I choose to see me. I will wait to get an appointment with her as she takes the time to ensure I am comfortable and my shots are as pain free as possible. Powell obviously cares about me as a patient.

UofU Patient December 17, 2012I came back to see Dr. Powell because of the care I received several years ago. I have had ongoing issues for 25 years, and Dr. Powell seems to really want to figure out and get to the bottom of the problem. I have every confidence in Dr. Powell.

UofU Patient November 11, 2012I would send my Mother to Dr. Powell.
UofU Patient November 07, 2012The best! Had my ortho and friends do R shoulder and L hip, but this l shoulder is the best relief I've ever had. Makes me wish I could ask to do have the R one redone by Krim's group
UofU Patient November 07, 2012outstanding, inclusive and easy going
UofU Patient November 05, 2012Very good experience, even though I had a feeling that they were very busy and I should make my feelings and physical problems short and to the point. Which is not a problem with me. It may be for others
UofU Patient October 29, 2012Because I am of an age where "falling apart" seems to be creeping in, I have already referred a friend to Dr. Powell for hip issues. I am confident if Dr. Powell believes a different care provider would better address this friend's problem, she would refer her to an excellent physician, not just "the next in line" which can sometimes be the case.
UofU Patient October 16, 2012DR. POWELL AND DR.ENGLISH WERE GREAT THEY MADE ME FEEL COMFORTABLE AND CARED FOR AS A PATIENT. I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND DR. POWELL AND DR.ENGLISH!
UofU Patient October 15, 2012I would recommend this orthopedic center to others.
UofU Patient October 08, 2012My only hesitation to recommend this care provider is wait time.
UofU Patient October 08, 2012Dr. Powell was very informative about my options, and had the nurse take me right down to the therapy department to help me get an appointment. Dr. Powell seems so nice and genuinely cares about me.
UofU Patient October 02, 2012Dr. Powell is a real gem.
UofU Patient September 28, 2012Dr Powell had a VERY calming and reassuring manner that really was commendable

UofU Patient August 31, 2012Dr. was friendly, helpful and efficient
UofU Patient August 27, 2012good experiance not as good as the first one but efective
UofU Patient August 24, 2012For orthopedic problems, we stay with Dr. Powell. She treats Tonia right.
UofU Patient August 24, 2012seems to be a climate of thinking people are drug seekers or going to be if given pain medication.
UofU Patient August 23, 2012Always a very nice and sharp physician. This visit - awkward and dissapointing for me. Physician in a bad mood? and 'short' with me for the first time.
UofU Patient August 21, 2012Once again, an excellent experience. I can't imagine going anywhere else for my orthopedic needs.
UofU Patient August 20, 2012This was Jacob's first visit with Dr. Powell. Now everyone in our family has utilized her expertise on at least one occasion. Obviously, we are pleased with our experience and have recommended her to several friends with sports type injuries or issues. She is consistently professional, pleasant, and takes the time to address the concern, review options and rationale, and includes us in the action plan. She mentors the exceptional patient experience. Though interns/residents participate in the visit, we feel confident she actively participates & directs the actino plan.
UofU Patient August 11, 2012Dr. Amy Powell is FANTASTIC
UofU Patient August 07, 2012Dr. Powell is fantastic, despite my negative experience with delays on this visit.

UofU Patient July 16, 2012Optimistic and focused on my problem
UofU Patient July 16, 2012Good experience and I hope the course of action is appropriate to determine and cure the problem
UofU Patient July 16, 2012Very friendly and relates well with her patients. Spoke about my visit with my husband. Surprisingly she had treated him sometime in the past and also thought highly of her!
UofU Patient July 09, 2012AMY and team are excellent!
UofU Patient July 06, 2012See above
UofU Patient July 04, 2012Dr Powell, her Physicians assistant, I forgot her name, and Monica, her medical assistant were all excellent.
UofU Patient July 03, 2012This was a very positive experience.
UofU Patient July 02, 2012Dr. Powell is one of the best doctors I have ever visited. She has very good listening skills and most importantly takes time to review records from other doctors and PT visits. I could not ask for a better doctor. I really appeciate her care!
UofU Patient June 29, 2012Wonderful doctor.

UofU Patient June 18, 2012I have, and continue to refer friends and family to Dr. Powell, the most recent was my father.
UofU Patient June 14, 2012Dr. Powell is very kind and compassionate. She answered my questions and asked "do you have any other questions?" at the end of the visit. She involved me in the decision about the next step in my care after presenting options.
UofU Patient June 13, 2012Dr. Powell is very kind and explained everything to me.
UofU Patient June 10, 2012Dr. Amy Powell is great, she is caring and understanding. A great asset to the University staff.
UofU Patient June 08, 2012I look forward to working with Dr. Powell to detect the root cause of my problem. I appreciate her thoroughness and even sharing with me some of her thought processes (and informing me that she was thinking aloud). She communicated brilliantly, really seemed interested, concerned, and professional. Thank you.
UofU Patient June 06, 2012Dr. Powell was incredible. I will definitely recommend her. I don't think I can say the same thing for the resident who provided care.
UofU Patient June 04, 2012Dr. Powell was superb. I would highly recommend her to others.
UofU Patient May 09, 2012I really appreciated Dr. Powell, and thought she gave me good advice and comments.
UofU Patient May 04, 2012Dr. Amy Powell and everyone at the U are very nice and they make you feel very comfortable.
UofU Patient May 03, 2012Amy Powell provides the type of care and concern that is welcome and appropriate.
UofU Patient April 04, 2012very compitant health care providers all questions were answered
UofU Patient April 01, 2012Didn't find out till after the care provider left the office that I was to have not only an MRI, but an MRI with contrast. Any time something is going to be put into my body, I feel there must be a discussion of why this is necessary, what the advantages and risks are, what extra information will be gained, as well as an opportunity to decline.
UofU Patient March 13, 2012Dr Amy Powells bedside manner was excellent She was very respectful
UofU Patient March 01, 2012Dr. Powell was great. She was very friendly and attentive.
UofU Patient February 25, 2012Very impressed with the physician. Should concern and was treated with very good care
UofU Patient February 25, 2012Amy Powell was the doctor.
UofU Patient February 22, 2012i like the group discussions of all the care provders. they discuss and come to a meeting of the minds as to what would be best for me.
UofU Patient February 22, 2012She provided excellent care and the braces that she suggested I use help me so much to relive the pain of walking up and down stairs.
UofU Patient February 18, 2012I know the center is a teaching school, but I wish for the olden days when I saw only the real doctor. This is not just your office but now it's all medical offices.
UofU Patient February 16, 2012I am trying once again to find solutions to a long-term chronic problem. I've given up on the medical community repeatedly. I asked the Dr. if she would commit to solving the problem. She was non-committal and even said that the tests she proposed were the 'end of the road' concerning this problem. That was NOT what I wanted to hear.
UofU Patient February 08, 2012a wonderful experience - will recommend her to all my friends-- Extremely well educated and informed
UofU Patient February 04, 2012They were very helpful and very informative.
UofU Patient February 04, 2012Explained everyting very well and quickley. Asked for any questions and all questions were answered to my satisifaction.
UofU Patient February 04, 2012Dr. Powell is great, but because of fellows and residents she only spent about 3 to 5 minutes with me and I was not able to ask all my questions. I also have to make another appointment to see her about another matter that needs to be addressed. MD should be able to address more than one issue at a time and you shouldn't have to make separate appointments for each issue.
UofU Patient February 01, 2012Dr. Powell always is working to find the best care regimens.
UofU Patient January 28, 2012good
UofU Patient January 25, 2012If my shoulder mostly or completey recovers, then the last two questions will increase to very good.
UofU Patient January 25, 2012I have confidence in this physician and her staff...
UofU Patient January 19, 2012Amy Powell is a gem. I've never had someone explain something so well. The entire visit was a sheer pleasure.
UofU Patient January 14, 2012Overall exam was great. The follow up instructions were a bit cloudy. I expressed my concern that i did not understand what i could / could not do but I don't feel i received a satisfactory answer. I did appreciate that she did allow me to call her directly to clarify.
UofU Patient January 14, 2012Dr Powell was very helpful and informative about concussion care and made us understand what needed to be done for recovery.
UofU Patient January 12, 2012She is always clear and listens well!
UofU Patient January 11, 2012This visit was very much improved. I have felt very disappointed on prior visits that much questions were not answered well and not much concern was given. This visit answered all my questions and I feel much better about returning in the future.
UofU Patient January 07, 2012Amy was very good at making me feel comfortable and explaining what was going on. I appreciated her time in the office with me, because I've had doctors in the past spend less time with me and it was discouraging. She did a great job.
UofU Patient January 07, 2012Dr. Powell provided what I can honestly say was the best experience I have had with a doctor's visit. She was very personable, nice, professional, and best of all seemed honestly interested in my specific problem and was willing to take the time to make sure I had all of my questions answered. I never got the feeling she was trying to rush me out to get to the next patient even though she knew I was only there to get a second opinion on my shoulder. It was great.
UofU Patient January 07, 2012I have already referred multiple people to Dr. Powell
UofU Patient January 05, 2012I left the appointment without an understanding of what was wrong with me but a treatment plan of getting an injection in my hip. I didn't realize it while i was talking to the doctor but afterward I was really unsure about whether I wanted to do the treatment. I didn't feel like I knew enough about it, what it was meant to do, if there were any side effects, or whether it would be the best thing for me in the circumstances I was in. I realize some of this was my failure to ask questions. Maybe there could be a resource or written material that patients could refer to later.
UofU Patient January 05, 2012Dr Amy Powell is an excellent doctor- very informative, very competent with wide range of help in all areas. Also, the REHAB center is very good and has a very good staff to help with exercises for your particular problem - have used the water therapy program as well as back and limb strength after operations or accidents. I have always had good help from that center.
UofU Patient January 05, 2012I have already referred someone to Doctor Powell.
