UofU Patient May 28, 2013
Dr. Sontheimer's professional insight and knowledge is superb. He was most courteous and helpful in answering my questions and attending to my needs.
UofU Patient May 21, 2013My husband and I always enjoy Dr. Southmeier. We will always come back to him
UofU Patient May 20, 2013Dr Sonheimer seems clinically excellent, with a very comforting "bedside manner". Only concern is that he did not look in my chart while in the room, and seemed to not recall events of my previous visit w/him, ie seemed to rely on me to fill in info from past visit.
UofU Patient May 20, 2013very much like the dr at both his facilities
UofU Patient May 07, 2013I felt really rushed at the end. I wanted to ask him some questions about acne, and he told me "next time," that he didnt have time during this appointment. I even asked the nurse if I could talk to him about the acne. That was a frusteration that I would have had to drive clear back there for another appointment just to ask him for some medication for my acne. And I wont...
UofU Patient May 06, 2013Excellent physician and care. Worth waiting for.
UofU Patient April 28, 2013dr. Sonthrimer is the best dr. I have ever had!! I feel complete trust in him.
UofU Patient April 11, 2013Again, excellent experience - not common these days with doctor visits.
UofU Patient April 09, 2013I have already recommended this care provider and both clinics have been exceptionally pleased and they are different ages and issues
UofU Patient April 08, 2013Dr. Sontheimer was really comforting to me with his obvious knowledge of the issue but also with the empathy and the confidence he expressed to me regarding the outcome of the condition.
UofU Patient March 28, 2013very good
UofU Patient March 02, 2013Ever visit Dr. Sontheimer takes whatever time I need to answer question & explain what & how of my condition. He never rushes me but takes the time I need to explain things to me so I understand. He's Great!
UofU Patient March 01, 2013good
UofU Patient February 11, 2013very happy with Dr. Sontheimer
UofU Patient January 21, 2013I have been to Dr. Sonheimer before and would certainly recommend him to anyone.
UofU Patient December 25, 2012My condition is rare and the Doctor described my condition in the exact way I had been describing it. Very glad to have it diagnoses
UofU Patient December 03, 2012Dr. Sontheimer is very caring. He has a wonderful bedside manner. He took time to listen to my concerns and answer my questions.
UofU Patient November 20, 2012Wanted to be contacted by my cell number, but a message was left on my home answering machine. It was good news, biopsy was benign, but am still trying to get to talk to care provider about the details of the biopsy.
UofU Patient November 19, 2012A little too touchy, more a salesman than provider
UofU Patient November 06, 2012uncertain that provider is giving most up to date or expidient remedies
UofU Patient November 05, 2012Great job by Dr. Sontheimer and his team.
UofU Patient October 29, 2012Dr. Sontheimer was very friendly and respectful. I felt like he was present with me and focused on my questions and concerns. I was nervous about the biopsy, and he worked very well with the nurse to put me at ease and do the procedure very quickly and painlessly. I was very impressed with their teamwork and very relieved to have such an experienced and respectful doctor.
UofU Patient October 25, 2012Good experience.
UofU Patient October 22, 2012Very neutral experience, nothing to set it apart in a good or bad way. I do feel like I was given good information, but also felt like it was very routine for the care providers and while I understand that they see issues like this often, it's not a common occurrence to me.
UofU Patient October 20, 2012I have already recommended this doctor to 2 people.
UofU Patient October 16, 2012The provider looked me over in about 30 seconds, said they were very busy or overbooked or something and is making me come back a second time for a seemingly minor procedure (punch biopsy). I'm not too impressed.
UofU Patient October 15, 2012Dr. Sontheimer is a very knowledgable physician and gave me quick and quality care during my appointment.
UofU Patient October 09, 2012Appreciated the follow up call

UofU Patient September 28, 2012Been long, drawn-out treatment with no solution obvious in sight. Although caregiver remains optimistic, patient remains sceptical.
UofU Patient September 27, 2012Dr. S didn't really know who I was, even though he had seen me once previously.
UofU Patient September 26, 2012Dr. Sontheimner acknowledged my pain, my concerns, and answers all questions. He told me what to expect and was active in searching out answers.
UofU Patient September 24, 2012VERY informative and helpful!
UofU Patient September 24, 2012the doctor was kind of in and out he DID answer the questions i had for him and was patient with my questions.
UofU Patient August 22, 2012I feel I have finally found a physician that cares about me and what I am going through. I highly recommend him as an excellent caring physician that I can trust.
UofU Patient August 13, 2012I would absolutely recommend this physician; I do not like dermatology visits but for the first time ever I felt comfortable with this visit.
UofU Patient August 07, 2012Dr. Sontheimer was one of the friendliest doctors I've ever been too. He made me feel very comfortable and he was very good at letting me know what he was doing and describing his professional opinions/conclusions to me. I was very confident in the care I was getting.

UofU Patient July 01, 2012Everyone in the exam room was polite and thorough in their explanations to me.
UofU Patient June 29, 2012I really like Dr. Sontheimer. He is extremely kind, patient, and courteous. I find him very easy to talk to and will definitely recommend him to my friends and family!!!
UofU Patient June 19, 2012The doctor's visit was quick and to the point, concerning how to proceed with the treatment.
UofU Patient May 07, 2012My care provider was great! He explained everything well, and helped me understand what he was doing while I was there and what I needed for follow-up care.
UofU Patient March 28, 2012In regards to Dr. Sontheimer, I was very pleased. He didn't act as if he was rushed or had more important issues. He listened to my concerns and answered all of my questions thoroughly. He went into details about the things that were going on with my issue. I was really happy with how this visit went. If I ever have any other dermatological problems or a friend who needs a recommendation, I will definitely see Dr. Sontheimer again.
UofU Patient March 20, 2012I think the doctor was fine. Seemed knowledgeable. He gave me a new option and appeared confident it would work. I guess he was somewhat open to questions, but by that point, I had pretty much resigned that I wouldn't be heard and just wanted to leave.
UofU Patient March 20, 2012I felt very comfortable during the exam and was happy with the outcome. I would definitely see Dr. Sontheimer again and recommend him to others.
UofU Patient March 19, 2012The Dr. seen me for a total of five minutes. He entered the room, asked a couple of questions, and then predicted he would not be the best to assist me with the issue. The Dr. told me a specialist would be better for this type of mole removal. He said he would have their people contact me to follow up. I still have not heard from anyone from the clinic. I was frustrated with the whole situation. I payed a co-pay of $50.00 for being told they couldnt help me. I felt like I gave as much information I could before the visit..They couldve told me to see the specailist from the start. The appt. was a total waste of time and money. The most frustrating item is that there has not been any follow up whats so ever.
UofU Patient March 12, 2012It was a very positive experience.
UofU Patient March 12, 2012Explained options for treatment clearly.
UofU Patient March 02, 2012He was rude, accusatory, and did not physically examine me.
UofU Patient February 15, 2012This doctor's "bedside manner" is better than some others I have seen in this clinic in the past. He was friendler and smiled and didn't act "rushed."
UofU Patient February 14, 2012Very experienced, respectful and knowledgeable.
UofU Patient February 02, 2012Both Dr. Sontheimer and the graduate student doctor were really great. It was a completely different experience than other dermatologists I have seen for this problem.
UofU Patient February 01, 2012I had a very positive experience visiting Dr. Sontheimer. He made me feel comfortable and calm. He expressed real concern for my condition. He explained the treatment for my condition in clear and understandable language. He took his time with my visit and was willing to address another concern of mine, outside of the initial medical concern that brought me to the clinic. Dr. Sontheimer was just wonderful! I no longer have to worry about my dermatological needs, because I plan on visiting him if other issues occur! I most certainly would recommend Dr. Sontheimer to others looking for a dermatologist.
UofU Patient January 11, 2012Doctor was very nice, professional, didn't act in a hurry, explained things well. I was very comfortable around him and would recommend him to others.
