Dr. Kubiak is outstanding! Would recommend others to seek him out.

April 11, 2013

I still love my doc

April 08, 2013

My favorite clinic to visit.

April 01, 2013

It seemed the doctor came into the room carrying on a conversation that had started in a different room. My gut feeling is that the doctor wanted to get the exam over with, that he needed to be somelwhere else. When the possibility exists of major surgery for the patient, take the time to make the patient be at ease with the situation. I left with more questoins than when I arrived.

April 01, 2013

My favorite doctor! He shows so much care and concern. He treats me like family. I know that he is cheering for me. At times I feel that he leaves the office without giving me an opportunity to ask questions. As a result, I have had to call after the appoinment to have his medical assistant get information not given at the appointment.

March 26, 2013

Doctor Kubiak is an excellent doctor. He is knowledge, patient, kind and caring. I feel like I am family when I come to see him. He genuinely cares and I can feel it. I appreciate his cheerfulness and thoroughness. He makes extra time to address any concerns that I or my husband may have. As well as he is one of the best Surgeon's and I appreciate all that he has done for me.

March 11, 2013

He was rushed and was not specific/clear in the instructions given to me. I had to call the office for clarification.

February 28, 2013

Dr. Kubiak is a caring, knowledgeable, intelligent surgeon. He takes the time to address my concerns. I know he truly cares and can feel his genuine concern for my health. He treats my spouse with kindness as he helps us by explaining things in "layman" terms. I am so thankful to have Dr. Kubiak as my surgeon.

February 25, 2013

I would recomment this place to anyone! I was very impressed!

February 25, 2013

I am continually impressed with the compassion, kindness, and concern that he shows to me. He stays positive about my condition and seems to be working hard to improve my health so I may return to full health.

February 25, 2013

Dr. Kubiak has a wonderful way of relating to patients and is worth the wait!

February 25, 2013

Comparing to my previous medical care, I feel that I have "hit the jackpot". Indeed, i am most grateful.

February 19, 2013

January 14, 2013

very impressed by Dr. Kubiac's care for my knee issues. My wife and I were well informed and are very confident in what Dr. shared with us. He talked to us not at or above us. He was and is genuinely concerned about making my knees better. I would definately recommend him to others.

January 14, 2013

Dr. Kubiak is a great team leader. I hope his onset of Laryngitis was only a brief experience.

January 07, 2013

I could not ask for a better doctor.

January 07, 2013

December 10, 2012

Dr knew who to send me to, that could help me solve my problems.

November 28, 2012

Dr. Kubiak was as recommended - outstanding!

November 19, 2012

Dr. Kubiak pin pointed problems I was not aware of.

November 19, 2012

Very good care the only thing I would like more time on is things to do following. Being my first serious injury in life I still feel I have many things to learn about self care which has been difficult to get good advice on.

November 19, 2012

I wish my doctor would have spent more time discussing my condition and showing more concern for my worries. I thought I deserved more than 5 minutes of his time actually being together.

November 13, 2012

doctor is very good was in a bit of a hurry. would be nice if they could spend a few more minutes with you

November 12, 2012

Dr Kubiak is awesome. He listens, explains, encourages, and he doesn't do unnecessary procedures if they aren't warranted.

November 09, 2012

Dr. Kubiak is a very caring, kind, knowledgeable and hard working. He is always personable and positive. He focuses on me as a whole person as well as the injury. He looks out for my best interest for work and my life.

November 05, 2012

Noted nothing that would create negative response from me regarding any aspect of my visit.

October 25, 2012

I have and will continue to recommend Dr. Kubiak at any and every opportunity.

October 05, 2012

Drs. Kubiak and Gaffney are excellent and give exceptional care.

October 01, 2012

Doctor Kubiak is personable, very intelligent, knowledgeable and wise. I appreciate that he always takes the time to talk to me about my injury and the different pain that I feel. He uses medical terminology and layman terms to help me. He is enthusiastic full of energy and positive. I appreciate that he listens to my concerns as well and helps me through.

September 17, 2012

Dr. Kubiak and Shannon Bonneli are my favorite doctor/pa I have ever seen. Most excellent friendly care providers.

September 03, 2012

Everything was handled to my satisfaction without question

August 27, 2012

Dr. Kubiak is an excellent surgeon. However, he is overworked and probably stressed. I really appreciate that he was able to see me even though he was trying to get out of town. It turns out that he was so busy he could not go to the meeting. There seems to be a need for a pain management nurse or PA to assist with pain. Dr. Kubiak needs to use his skills for surgery and not prescribing meds.

August 20, 2012

I had the best experience with Dr. Kubiak and Shannon Boffeli. Very nice people and so caring.

August 20, 2012

I've been to so many different doctors and Dr. Kubiak is the first who has completely understood everything I've been through and knows exactly what I need! I was in shock and still have a hard time fathoming the the great doctor he is...and that he's the real deal!! I'm excited to get things taken care of and to move on with my life.

July 09, 2012

I felt at ease with Dr. Kubiak and felt he listened. I wish all physicians would listen.

July 02, 2012

very good.

June 19, 2012

This was actually my third visit and by this point I finally had a personal understanding of what I was going through. My first and second appointments I did not get enough time with the doctor. But, at this 3rd appointment I appreciate that Dr. Kubiak took the time to listen to my complications I was going through and he showed general concern especially when he took the time to understand what I required to get back to work. I appreciate that he explained the way I walk in layman's terms.

April 26, 2012

Time spent was efficient and thorough.

April 20, 2012

Totally positive experience--so thankful I did it. I appreciated the information and the manner it was presented very much.

April 06, 2012

I have already recommended Erik Kubiak to other people. He did an amazing job!!

April 06, 2012

surgery went well and it actually worked, had two other surgeries at a different hospital that failed and i was referred. The docter was excellent and the hospital itself was top notch.

March 23, 2012

Care provider recommended that I think about additional surgery which I have thought about for a few minutes. I probably won't choose to do that but I appreciate the information. I think with time I can solve the situation without surgery.

March 23, 2012

In spite of having a migraine, Dr. Kubiak took the time to go over my situation with me and make recommendations.

March 16, 2012

He spends a couple minutes with me and does not address my concerns. The bill is $20,000 and climbing and the arm is not better.

March 15, 2012

I would highly recommend the Doctors that I have personally encountered at the University of Utah Health Care Center. Kudos to all the medical healthcare providers that I have encountered there.

March 09, 2012

Dr Kubiak is awesome and very personable.

February 23, 2012
