July 18, 2012

Personable and efficient

July 09, 2012

explained everything and talked about concerns and even ask my husband if he had questions

July 02, 2012

I already recommended Ingrid to a friend.

This was the first time that anyone really sat down and explained things in detail as to what was going on inside my body. She had a diagram and explained things thoroughly so that I REALLY understood the situation. Thank you, Ingrid.

Dr. Nygaard is a very caring and kind physician who provides excellent patient care and exhibits true concern for her patients - their comfort and health.

Dr. Nygaard is so warm and genuine. I really felt she actually cared about me as a person and wanted to make sure I understood everything. I have had a very pleasant experience dealing with her and her staff. I would recommend them all very highly!

Wow. I am so impressed with Dr. Nygaard and her staff and the hospital staff. I loved Dr. Nygaard's enthusiasm and concern, and letting me make the decision about surgery. Excellent experience with every single person I met at the clinic or the hospital.

I have rarely had such a good experience with a doctor. She answered my questions, took time to explain, and made an exam that could have been embarassing very matter-of-fact.

February 07, 2012

I was so impressed by the great professionalism of the doctor and her staff.

February 02, 2012

Extra time was taken to give me quick procedure. I was very impressed that they were able to work me in and answer questions about what I should do for follow up care. Dr. Nygaard and her nurse are very caring and knowledgeable.

January 19, 2012

The entire staff and the care provider were extremely caring and knowledgeable. I felt that I was in good hands. I got information that was new to me - and I wasn't as prepared with questions as I would have liked to be. 20-20 hindsight. As far as instructions for followup care - I was given a note to go to physical therapy and told that it might take care of one of my problems but not the other - the one I find most disconcerting. I guess I am supposed to go to pt and go from there -- but I am a little unclear on "what next" and timeline.

January 12, 2012

There was a world of difference in the the first physician I saw in Idaho Falls (who said "This is what I am going to do.") and Dr. Nygaard (who said, "This is what we found - these are your options.")

Dr Nygard is trying to find the right treatment for my problem
