UofU Patient June 05, 2013
The cardiologist specialist (and others) spent way more time with us than we had expected or hoped for! Thanks for your concern, your efforts to ease our worries, and your invaluable expertise! Priceless!
UofU Patient May 18, 2013Good.
UofU Patient May 10, 2013Dr. Akoum made me feel like I got the best care.
UofU Patient April 29, 2013There was a doctor who talked to me before Dr. Akoum came in. Maybe he was an assistant or maybe he was a medical student. I don't remember his name because it was unusual. But I want to say that he was fabulous with his degree of concern for me personally. I felt important and not just a patient to be pushed through the visit. By the time he finished talking to me I was ready to let him do the surgery (even though he wasn't the surgeon). He seemed to really care about me. He asked me detailed questions and took time to find out my whole history. Then he went and discussed everything with Dr. Akoum. Then they both came back in and Dr. Akoum also was kind and interested. He sat right next to me and discussed everything in detail, answering any question I could think of. He never showed a sign of being in a hurry and needing to get to his next patient. Both of these doctors were so very kind and thorough. By the time the visit was finished, I felt confident that these doctors would take good care of me.
UofU Patient April 26, 2013Dr. Akoum has done a great job for me. He is a very good doctor.
UofU Patient March 27, 2013I felt that the doctor actually had time to listen and to talk.
UofU Patient March 20, 2013Everything went well during the visit. The communication was good and I understood the discussion. In hindsight, there was more information I should have gotten, but I wasn't knowledgeable enough about my issue and U of U practices to ask some important questions.
UofU Patient February 25, 2013My experience with the doctors was excellent! It was so nice to have the doctors listen and explain everything to me so I could understand!
UofU Patient January 21, 2013Dr. Akoum is a wonderful physician. He cares about his patients and is genuinely concerned with me as a person - he thinks about the whole person not just a symptom. I actually look forward to seeing him every three months.
UofU Patient January 08, 2013This hospital is amazing and efficient.
UofU Patient December 31, 2012I have been working with Dr. Akoum now for over a year. He is good to talk me through everything I ask him about. He looks me in the eye and really makes me feel important. I met Dr. Noonan for the first time this visit and he did an excellent job as well. He took a lot of time with me to discuss my options and he was very warm and comfortable to talk with. It was a great visit.

UofU Patient August 20, 2012Dr Akoum is not only the best in his field in the state of Utah, but he is compassionate and LISTENS. He speaks to me from one healthcare provider to another and respects my knowledge and input as an RN. I am so fortunate to have him as my physician on my team. I trust his care of me implicitly.
UofU Patient July 30, 2012Dr. Akoum is a super individual with good bedside manner and caring/concern for medical needs.
UofU Patient June 11, 2012The entire care team was excellent. They discussed the issues with me and my wife and presented the options for treatment. I was very pleased with their efforts and thoroughness.
UofU Patient May 03, 2012Considering my issues I am concerned that some further testing may have been appropriate rather than dismissing my dizziness and my again feeling the skipped heartbeats which I had not felt for some time.
