    She is absolutely phenomenal and UofU is lucky to have a NP like her on staff. I really enjoyed my time with her and have already recommend her services to my coworkers

    My experience with Dr. Edlira B. Farka was a good experience given the situation, because I felt like an actual person while meeting with her and not just a number to get through. She listened to me and went over and explained the concerns she had while also not demanding or pressuring me, but by making me feel empowered to make my own decisions on the matter, with the information that was given. I felt that she was genuine and understanding of my fears and worries and even brought in extra support (a social worker) for me to speak to which showed that she really cares for not only the physical health, but the emotional and mental health of her patients as well

    She's amazing!! I wish all of my bone marrow biopsies could be done (would have been done :) ) by Edlira. I honestly could not believe it when she said she was done! She was so careful to make sure it was not painful and she succeeded 1000%!

    Edlira B. Farka, APRN has a bedside manner to be idolized. Not only was her bedside manner to be idolized but her level prior to meet me was impressive. I ended up being an hour late for my appointment due to traveling circustances and she still chose to see me anyways. She understood how long it takes to get an appointment. She listened to all of my concerns and even when A and B didn't connect she didn't make me feel uneducated. When my son began acting up, as a mom with three kids ends up juggling kids and appointments, she suggested the day care where they provided my kids with snacks and entertainment that kept them distracted from the place they feat most for their mom. Thank you for your impeccable first impression. -Heather Gonzales
