UofU Patient May 06, 2013
Dr. Firszt is an excellent doctor. His response time to questions submitted after the appointment was great.
UofU Patient April 15, 2013I almost never see the care provider. It would be nice to have a follow up every so often. I work almost totally with the CNA.
UofU Patient April 09, 2013I have high confidence in the doctor. Would appreciate more explanation of what to expect from condition, effects of drugs in short and long term and potential causes of my condition.
UofU Patient April 08, 2013At first, I was taken a back by Dr. Firzst's personality. He comes off a bit cold and very clinical. I kept coming because I knew he was good at what he did. The longer I've gone, the more I understand his personality and it doesn't bother me anymore. But, I almost stopped going at first because he can be quite blunt. I didn't feel he took my concerns seriously because my son was so young. I felt he brushed me off since babies can have lots of reasons for reactions. Once we found out my son's disease and that there was reason for concern he's been on board and very thorough.
UofU Patient April 02, 2013My experience seeing Dr. Firszt was excellent all around. He was able to clear up a lot of questions and concerns I had and was very caring and thoughtful with no signs of having to hurry along to the next patient.
UofU Patient March 16, 2013It took close to 2 weeks before anyone got back to me about the lab work, but once the doctor contacted me he spent close to 1 hour with me on the phone. I felt very good about Camas' treatment plan and available options!
UofU Patient March 13, 2013Dr. Firszt is our favorite doctor ever! He explains everything very clearly, as well as explaining relevant research to assist us in making an educated decision for our son. My son loves going to see Dr. Firszt and is always excited when we have an appointment coming up.
UofU Patient February 25, 2013This is the first time I can honestly say that I didn't like one of the U's physicians (and I've seen my fair share). After discussing my symptoms with one of the assistants, Dr. Firszt came in and told me, in a condescending way might I add, that he wasn't convinced I had a food allergy. He made me feel like I was wasting his time, but because I insisted that I'd like to rule things out, he reluctantly ran some tests. And after the test results came up negative, he walked in with a smug look on his face because he had been right. After months of waiting to get in to see an allergist, I felt stupid for even coming in to see him. I will never go back to Dr. Firszt, and I will never recommend him to any other potential patient.
UofU Patient February 05, 2013Dr Firszt is an excellent doctor. He has changed our son's life!
UofU Patient January 31, 2013I found the care provider to be condescending and at times arrogant
UofU Patient January 22, 2013first experience with an "allergy" and now i can finally relate to other allergy sufferers. This clinic is a huge asset for our organization. My hope is that appropriate access and clinics are in alignment with the demand, as i am unfamiliar with the demand.
UofU Patient December 17, 2012I have never had a doctor just sit and talk me through a problem like Dr. Firszt. It was so nice to feel like he genuinely cared about my situation.
UofU Patient November 08, 2012i really like him!!! i feel better already and its only been a week!
UofU Patient October 09, 2012I was very pleased with my entire experience.
UofU Patient September 18, 2012Dr. Firszt was very nice. He too seemed very hurried. It felt like the staff was dividing time between too many patients. I didn't feel like we really had anyone's full attention. I wish Dr. Firszt would have listened more to my concerns. We didn't really come away from the appointment with any new information.
UofU Patient September 03, 2012Dr. Fritz seems to already have a full practice. Waiting time at the Greenwood clinic was several months out and at PMC it is 6 months. Dr. Fritz came accross as busy.
UofU Patient June 04, 2012Provider was offish at the beginning of my appt, but then warmed up.
UofU Patient June 04, 2012Dr. Firszt was awesome at explaining the entire process of what I was looking to have done and the risks, etc. He seemed very genuinely concerned for my well being.
