Staff was very pleasant and made my visit comfortable and pleasant

April 28, 2013

We received unrushed, extremely helpful advice specific to our needs. Thank you.

April 08, 2013

Dr. Zamrini spent 95% of our visit facing his computer screen, inputting data. The student in the room seemed to make him more impersonal. He seemed to care about my wife only to catalog her.

April 05, 2013

The UofU personnel are all super

March 11, 2013

Dr. Zamrini is wonderful! What more can we say.

February 10, 2013

good experience

December 21, 2012

Spent a lot of time with documentation on the computer, so my questions were not answered. He told me that Health educator would review the findings with me. Since Health educator was retiring that same week, so she gave me handouts to read, that were not exactly helpful. I have a terminal disorder and I believe I deserved the courtesy of explaining the test results!

November 30, 2012

An explanation as to the Dr's conclusion that my degree of memory loss now indicates a dx of Alz. disease in the near future and how his recommendation of a support group might help.

November 12, 2012

I don't want to knock my doctor, but it seemed that he was not prepared for my visit and that he took a lot of time reading my case before he actually talked to me. Then he had not acquired needed information from another doctor in order to be prepared to tell me what the next step would be for my care. Almost a wasted visit.

November 08, 2012

An extensive questionnaire was filled out prior to the visit and the doctor obviously had not read it. It described a CT scan recently conducted yet the doctor still requested another. It just showed a sloppiness and disregard for detail not acceptable in a medical care provider.

October 07, 2012

Excellent. Dr. Zamrini was helpful, unrushed, very prepared, informative. We feel extremely grateful to be under his care.

September 28, 2012

While Dr. Zamrini has always been unfailingly courteous, knowledgeable, professional, this visit he did speak in a harsh tone to my wife as he directed her to find safety pins she had watched him place under pillows, etc. (She couldn't remember nor find them.) His harsh tone was not called for, in my opinion.

September 23, 2012

I like him professionally and personally!

August 16, 2012

We have no doubt that Dr. Zamrini is a competent Neurologist, however he is lacking bedside manner, interrupted my mother-in-law several times to get the conversation moving, and didn't offer any verbal update as to her degenerative status based on his exam that day.

August 16, 2012

Excellent care.

August 13, 2012

Dr. Zamrini is terrific!

July 18, 2012

Just frustration of not knowing what the problem is with my husband. It seems there are no answers. Not the doctors fault, just can't find the answer.

July 13, 2012

I would recommend him with the caveat that he was not a friendly doctor, but I trusted him.

July 02, 2012

the Dr. made comments before looking at the MRI and then change his mind about further tests, but never acknowledged if his first comment would or could change. We will ask him after the additionial tests are done.

June 14, 2012

Dr. Zamrini was very informative and caring on this visit. I was very impressed because it seemed that he cared and yes I have recommended him to others.

June 04, 2012

I feel like we are back to square one with my husband. We still know something is wrong but do not know what.

June 01, 2012

Dr. did not seem rushed and took the time to answer my questions/concerns.

April 30, 2012

good

April 17, 2012

Dr. Zamrini is amazing not only with the my Mom - but with our family. My Mom loves him and he is so caring for her, but yet firm with her about what she need to be doing.

April 11, 2012

He was rather kind person. He was good.

April 09, 2012

Dr. Zamrini is very professional and a strait shooter. He doesn't mince words. I would describe his approach as stern but caring. He gave me confidence to finally have a better understanding of my cognitive problems.

March 13, 2012

Thank you for the patience and tender understanding you showed my father as you met with him. As a family who cares for our father and want him to have the best quality of life possible at this time, we express gratitude for your expertise and care.

March 12, 2012

Provider always permission to as my wife questions, then asked her questions about me with kindness and awareness of my feelings. Very impressed.

March 06, 2012

Zamrini is arrogant , should read his patient's charts, before entering their diagnostic room.

March 06, 2012

good

March 05, 2012

The doctor was very clear, warm and thorough. it couldn't have been better. I was very satisfied and hopeful.

February 22, 2012

cancelled

February 01, 2012

January 10, 2012

January 03, 2012

The level of care that we are getting is what we expect -- so that is why it is good.
