I tried to explain about my problems with heat --not able to cool down and how my new medication would be making this problem worst.... she just brushed it off without getting a clear picture of how my problem with cooling down is and could be potentially dangerous

April 26, 2013

I would recommend this facility and my health provider to everyone!

dr Legant is caring and conscientious

Dr Legant ordered an echo cardiogram before oncotype test results were back since I did not need chemo according to her this test was unnecessary and an expense I cannot afford. She had given me very strong impressions that we would be doing chemo or I would have asked that the test be postponed

March 11, 2013

this Dr seemed really concerned and interested in me, she gave me a good physical and was very interested in learning about my cancer so I feel she will be a great dr for my problems. I feel comfortable in having her be my doctor since my move to South Jordan.
