we have never had any care provider spend the amount of time that Dr. Farrell does and follow up w/ phone calls. Also we are given a written summary of what was discussed which is very helpful.

It is a pleasure working with Dr. Farrell. He is always professional, courteous, and immediately communicates any concerns that need to be addressed answering all questions with care with all the necessary instructions for followup and monitoring progress. We would highly recommend Dr. Farrell and everyone at the Utah University Clinic. Thank You.

Dr. Farrell is the best doctor I've seen for taking care of my mother who is soon to be 92. He is genuinely concerned about her health and well-being and keeps us informed of everything possible to help her. He goes the extra mile in every way. I have already recommended him to several people.

Dr. Farrell is the most caring physician we have ever had. He calls with lab results and is interested in our problems. There was some problem with an Rx of my husbands while he was OOT and his explanation of the problem and what to do in the future allayed any fears my husband had that he didn't want him to have the medication. He is truly caring.

This is the best care I have every had and I have seen several doctors over many years. Dr. Farrell is the best Doctor on the planet. I don't know how I could be served better. I have the highest regard for Dr. Farrell .

I had been a little upset over some problem in getting some prescriptions refilled but Cr. Farrell not only explained what happened but bent over backwards to let me know it was a misunderstanding and would not happen again.

Dr. Farrell is amazing. It is not always easy to work with the elderly, but he won both my mother's and my confidence in his ability to help her as well as his consideration of her.

He takes unusual amount of time

September 10, 2012

We have never had a physician who spent the time and concern for us . There were a couple of other peeople w/ Dr. Farrell and their input into the problem I was presenting w/ was very helpful. We always receive a written summary of the visit which is most helpful to us Geriatric pts. But we have told people about Dr.Farrell and his knowledge and concern which is unusual to find in health care providers. Having been in Health Care for 40 years I know how difficult it is and I still run into former pts. who tell me they can find no one who cares like we did.

Avery good experience

February 28, 2012

I started with Dr. Farrell, after taking my mother-in-law to him for 2 years. I was so impressed with the care she received that now that I am turning 60 I enrolled. I have MS and diferentiating MS problems from aging is difficult. I have never witnessed care as good as in the U of U system
