Dr. Pohl is professional and answers any questions I have. I think she is a great health care provider.

May 28, 2013

Dr. Pohl was very nice and seemed to really care about helping me. She spent time asking me questions and explaining treatment options and never seemed rushed. I will definitely continue to see her and would recommend her to anyone.

May 27, 2013

I really like how Dr. Pohl discussed and wrote out her differential diagnosis.

May 27, 2013

She was incredible. She spent quite a long time with me explaining blood test results and their meaning.

May 24, 2013

some issues presented to the MA and in the computer on intake were not followed up with MD

May 21, 2013

very good

May 20, 2013

I feel like Dr. Pohl knows her stuff and treats me like a colleague, not a patient. Since I work in the medical field I appreciate that.

May 20, 2013

I already do recommend her to my friends.

May 13, 2013

Dr. Pohl was very straight forward, which I appreciated and asked for my feelings about treatment, ie medication vs diet for controlling the issues I came in for.

May 07, 2013

Dr Pohl is an excellent listener. She was seeing me for trauma as a result of an automobile accident. I felt that she heard me and answered all questions that I had. I never felt rushed.

May 07, 2013

Good

April 23, 2013

She was very patient and focused. She was so direct with her information but also supportive.

April 15, 2013

Dr. Pohl is by far the best physician I have encountered in the University system. She is caring, informed, and constantly searching for better ways to address my health care needs. She listens carefully, and responds appropriately. She is thorough. Outcomes are better from following her advice than from any previous physician consulted. Please clone her!

March 27, 2013

I don't have any health issues, I came in for an annual. But I would imagine that the same care I received at this visit, would be the same level of care if I was sick or had a medical issue, just in the manner and approach Dr Pohl had. I have alreadt recommended her to my husband.

March 08, 2013

Dr. Pohl is the best, this is the first time ever she was a little late, she was with an emergency patient, and explained this to me with her apology.

February 16, 2013

Was not told about negative effects of medication.

February 11, 2013

I have already recommended this caregiver.

January 28, 2013

I encountered Dr. Pohl, she was wonderful - excellent communicator, good information, overall I enjoyed her service and would continue to see her in the future. She was very efficient but did not make me feel rushed. I was just in for a basic check up so I didn't really have a problem I needed her to address though I would feel comfortable with her style/communication.

January 22, 2013

The care provider could not answer my questions about the flu shot and did not offer to look them up or ask anyone else.

December 26, 2012

I've had a lot of experience with medications and treatments. I just wanted her to listen to that instead of repeating treatments that I already have not had success with.

December 18, 2012

Dr. Pohl worked with me on getting all my prescriptions syncronized so I could make appointments on a regular schedule rather than every time a prescription ran out.

December 04, 2012

Did not see the care provider only had labs done.

November 15, 2012

I couldn't ask for a better primary care physician. Dr. Pohl has a very effective method of care. She listens to me, asks questions, and then reflects what she hears for verification from me. Then she discusses her thoughts, asks if I have questions, formulates a plan and then reviews everything. Aside from being very personable, she is EFFECTIVE. She is genuine, funny, and respectful. And, furthermore, she clearly works hard to consider the 'big picture' rather than just treating the symptoms.

November 08, 2012

first time to see Doc. pohl. She is wonderful, now my wife and son is seeing her. The U-Chart is great.

October 29, 2012

Dr. Pohl is simply superb.

October 15, 2012

Same as with our nurse dr. P. went above and beyond, she was straight forward great with tatum and followed up with me on Monday to ensure tatum was getting better. Wow, what a wonderful experience. Going to the doctor is no dun with kids but the nurse and doctor were amazing.... Wow.

October 15, 2012

My provider was unapologetic for being 30 minutes late to our appointment. I felt that my provider was in a rush to complete my exam and offered no explanation for my rash. I don't feel heard by my provider and I continue to have concerns that are not being addressed. I intend to switch providers as I would like more thorough care.

October 09, 2012

Dr. Pohl seemed kind of rushed but I didn't mind.

October 08, 2012

I came to this clinic and this doctor through recommendation. I would also recommend her.

October 04, 2012

susan is the best

October 02, 2012

I feel very confident in Dr Pohl, I suggested that my wife make an appointment with her.

September 24, 2012

Dr. Pohl is EXCELLENT

September 18, 2012

I was very satisfied with my experience with Dr. Pohl. Up unto this point I did not have a general care practitioner in the state of Utah, but after my experience with Dr. Pohl, I intend to use her as my general care practitioner. I was very pleased with the way she listened to my problems, respected the education level that I have and adjusted her approach based on my general knowledge, and addressed the issues I am facing with genuine concern for helping me. I was very excited by the way she approached my situation by assessing my problem in a way that avoided treating my symptoms and focused on finding the cause of my problem so that I can lead a normal life. Susan Pohl is an excellent physician.

September 03, 2012

I am very, very impressed with Dr. Pohl. She seems to know just as much about thyroid disorders as an endocrinologist! And the time she spent with me showed that she is very concerned with her patients! She's an amazing doctor!

August 27, 2012

Overall I like my provider and plan to keep seeing her in the future. However, I do wish she offered more of an explaination regarding my condition

August 21, 2012

It is interesting that Dr. Pohl doesn't review my record ahead of time. I had to remind her of my history and the tests we ran last year. But she addressed everything I brought up and I do have a lot of confidence in her.

July 16, 2012

Dr. Pohl always seems to be late, but I know when she is attending to me finally that I will not feel rushed, which is fabulous!

July 06, 2012

She is awesome! I have been looking for a primary care provider for several years and just didn't quite mesh with anyone I have seen. Dr. Pohl has all the qualities that I was looking for. She is insightful, thorough without too much intervention and w

May 15, 2012

Dr. Susan Pohl is excellent

May 03, 2012

Having the MA do the computer part was great. My Dr could listen more attentively to me, and the conversations was faster. I felt taken care of.

April 12, 2012

Dr. Pohl is usually behind schedule, but I know that when my turn comes, she will spend as much time as needed to help me, which is a relief. Thus, it is slow sometimes waiting for her but then I don't feel rushed either.

April 12, 2012

Dr. Pohl has always been a great doctor to see. I feel that she does take great care of my medical needs.

March 30, 2012

As usual Dr. Pohl explained all my options and allowed me to choose how I wanted to proceed.

March 29, 2012

This was my first experience w/ Dr. Pohl. She was outstanding. She was very considerate, took her time listening to my story and was very thorough with her interview. She gave me the choice between conservative vs. medical management which I really appreciated. I would not hesitate to recommend her to friends and family, in fact, I already have!

March 06, 2012

she is busy

February 09, 2012

I always feel well informed and confident I am receiving the best care during and after my visit.

February 03, 2012

Very good experience. I have referred patients to Dr. Pohl already

January 26, 2012

Dr. Pohl is always very informative and concerned. Makes me feel at ease and able to talk about my feelings. Great at making suggestions and asking how I feel about her plan of care. I recommend her to everyone. Wish she was a little easier to get in with.

January 26, 2012

Dr. Pohl is very informative and offers very good suggestions. She is not pushy and does not say what I need to do, instead offers many suggestions and different ways to do things.

January 19, 2012

I appreciate that Dr. Pohl is a woman who has children herself.
