If I could give him a 6 or higher I would. He should be recognized by UOfU. I didn't know him at all before my first visit last month but he identified things which have been lingering problems and plan to fix them

It would be really nice if all people in the healthcare system would spend time LOOKING at their patients instead of typing on a computer screen. Do you all watch posture, facial expressions, etc. I have had appointments elsewhere where another person made the record and the health care professional listened and watched and had a discussion.

This was my first encounter with Dr. Pestotnik who I found to be very efficient and thorough in my physical. He listened to my concerns and addressed them. An excellent physician in my opinion (and both my wife and son are physicians and I taught medical students so I do have some knowledge in this area).
