ORTHOPAEDICS CENTER
The Doctor seemed like he was really In a hurry. I have no idea why but I really hope the hospital doesn't over book him so he treats patients this way. Also he seemed to only look at the spine specifically and rule out sciatica. Each doctor I've seen has done similar physical tests, and seemed puzzled that they dont confirm sciatica, but then offer no proper diagnosis. Also Dr. Petron did not mention degenerative disc disease to me, but it says something about it in mychart in post visit summary. So I'm confused about that. I have to be honest, for data purposes you can apply these grades across the. board to my experience in the past year trying to diagnose my pain issues. I feel the u of u hospital has failed me abysmally. I am suffering and if it's not sciatica they dont seem to know much.

was my first visit with Dr Petron, couldn't really come up with a plan until I had an mri done.Petron also told me to take ibuprofen 800 but then never prescribed them for me or anything else for the pain.

I have recommended Dave Petron numerous times. He is impeccable. I forgot to thank him for also recommending Dr. Barg who also was superb in minimally invasive solution for foot issues. I not only get excellent treatment, including good recommendations for when to just wait for things to heal on their own, but learn what the processes are, and how to prevent injury and maintain healthy activity.

treated well at the time. The medication prescribed caused tinnitus, I called to see if there were other options, and was told to take Ibuprofen, which I had already expressed concerns about taking. I have not received any explanation of what may be causing my pain. It feels like the goal is to just get me in, and there is no care after the visit. :(

I felt like I was finally being seen by the appropriate doctor. He looked at my back and had me do some flexibility tests. He prescribed a steroid pack that finally took the pain away. I am so glad I finally was told to go to the right kind of doctor. I just can't believe that took 5 weeks! But, one thing that bothered me was that the dr seemed more excited to joke with the nurse instead of discuss my health options with me. I wish he had paid more attention to me.

Dr. Petron's injection provided me with almost immediate relief. I'm very appreciative of that. He didn't spend a lot of time with me, but that's certainly an acceptable trade-off for obtaining a reduction in the pain I was experiencing.

After 2 costly MRI's, I was then referred to a spine specialist, but no sooner than 7/18. I have been pleased with the doctor for past issues, but for my present issues, I feel he kind of "washed his hands" of me. I realize there are other patients with more serious problems, but that doesn't make my pain and discomfort any less.

Thought the Dr. was very thorough in his examination and explained things well. Immediate XRay to get additional information and scheduled an MRI
UofU Patient
June 03, 2018
This doctor actually explained why my knees hurt and showed me with xrays, plus told me about a couple options for the future. My previous doctor wasn't as good at that. My only concern is if I start experiencing pain again during physical therapy if there will be something the doctor can do besides having me take ibuprofen, but that is yet to be seen.

UofU Patient
April 22, 2018
I have recommended Dr Petron to several friends and they all were very happy with the care they received from him
UofU Patient
April 16, 2018
He's the first medical provider I've had in some time - maybe ever - who actually read all the intake forms... and even read all of the 3 page narrative I wrote about my condition and history - and I could tell he actually read it from his exam and the discussion. He doesn't have the best bedside manner but I've always said that if I have to choose between bedside manner and competence, I'm going with competence (caveat being that the bedside manner has to be at least good enough the get relevant history from the patient). It turns out that my condition wasn't in his field of expertise but he referred me to the right place, something that 5 other providers failed to do. If you have a complicated history/condition, I highly recommend writing your own narrative before you come.

I left feeling stupid it coming in, I felt rushed, dismissed & talked down to. I did not feel like he thought I was worth his time & that my problem wasn't serious enough for him. I will not be returning to see him for my follow up & will not be recommending him. I have never left a doctors office feeling so discouraged.

September 26, 2017
I had some questions/concerns about the treatment and feel that I was not given the opportunity to ask questions. The doctor only seemed interested in completing the procedure ASAP and did seem concerned as to whether or not I had any questions before proceeding. This bothered me given that I had told the assistant that I had questions. I am not an aggressive person and didn't know how to slow things down long enough to be heard.

I've seen several people in your clinic who took such good care and time. This doctor was fine, but I didn't feel that I'd received the extra good care I've come to appreciate.

the doctor was not kind at all I have seen him 3 other times and just thought maybe he was having bad day. but he has horrible bed side manners. doesn't answer your questions when you ask him. treats you like a number and doesn't care about you or your problem. I would not recommend anyone to see this doctor it is a waste of money. I also had injections done both legs was numb his assistant walked me out into the waiting room and left me my son was there to drive me that day with my two year old she didn't even care to see if we needed help but he was chasing the two-year-old also to help me stand up getting to the car not very professional at all

Dr. Petron is always so great! He has taken care of me intermittently for along time but he always recognizes me and knows about my treatments. He is very aware that I have a history of cancer and knows to look for signs that my cancer may be back.

I was experiencing numbness & tingling in my leg, but also pain with some movements. I appreciated the discussion between the two care providers, the evaluation of movements, the x-ray review with me .... it all made me feel confident in their decision re: diagnosis and treatment.

Dr. Petron is one of the finest medical professionals I have ever had the experience of interacting with to assess and resolve my medical concern.
UofU Patient
November 18, 2016
I should have asked more questions, but I would like to have had more information/guesses about what might have caused my problem and what I would be likely to expect in the near and distant future. But I recognize that time was short. AND I didn't ask questions.
UofU Patient

My husband and I have referred at least 3 of our friends to Dr. Petron and all of them were very satisfied with the care they received.

UofU Patient
November 04, 2016
I didn't feel he gave me ideas to treat my problem other than an injection or sitting correctly. After researching my condition, many people live without every having surgery. I don't know how to do this and would like to know.

I've seen this provider before and have generally had a good experience, but for this particular problem/visit, he kept interrupting me while I was trying to tell him things. It was pretty discouraging. Left the appointment feeling very down.

I had been to 2 previous doctors for mystery foot pain who did not seem to understand how much pain I had, and had no strategy to reduce my pain so that I could live my life. While the source of my pain remains a mystery, I felt like Petron et al. understood that I was miserable and tried hard to help.
UofU Patient
August 29, 2016
I feel like I am in good hands with Dr Petron. He is concerned about your problem and ways to solve that problem. I appreciate that very much. My knee pain the last few days has been better.
UofU Patient
August 29, 2016
The APC working with Dr. Petron was terrific. Went out of his way to speak with the surgical team about me and get me in to see them minutes later.
UofU Patient
August 26, 2016
I would have liked more time with Dr. Petron to discuss other medications and future surgeries.
UofU Patient

Dr. Petron is a top notch doctor and person in every sense of the word. He is thoroughly professional, extremely knowledgeable and explains things well
UofU Patient
August 22, 2016
Dr Petron was teaching a young woman on our visit. She was assessing my daughter. I was very impressed with his questions to her to broaden her view point to figure out what was a possible alternative issue with my daughter's health. He appears to be a great teacher as well as great doctor. Dr Petorn also has a gift of humility concerning his patience. Wonder person!

UofU Patient
August 03, 2016
very satisfied with care provider
UofU Patient
August 01, 2016
I think the care provider was good. But it doesn't seem like I had an injury that required extreme knowledge or care, thus I'm not saying I wouldn't recommend my doc, but I didn't have a notable experience that I will be talking about for years to come. Also, I did not get any after appointment instructions or exercises that would be good or anything which I found odd, so I asked 2x but sure enough nothing to help me heal faster or get back to normal activities any faster. So I googled it and found some things "that will help."
UofU Patient

UofU Patient
July 17, 2016
Doctor was efficient but spent little time discussing treatment options if minimal care options did not work. Minimal examination. of physical area of concern.
UofU Patient
July 15, 2016
I did not feel I understood my future options for taking care of my problem. I was just referred to another Dr. I waited 4 weeks to see this Dr just to be referred to another Dr and am now waiting 6 weeks to see him.

UofU Patient
March 03, 2016
Felt very rushed, and that the doctor was quick to make an assessment without a good patient history exploration. I'm sure he has an assessment protocol and is confident in that, but the speed of it diminished my confidence in the assessment and next steps.

As a type I diabetic I was a little concerned that there was no discussion about potential neuropathy in my foot, especially since I was reporting very low pain levels. This is no longer a concern, but it wasn't what I expected.
UofU Patient
January 08, 2016
Dr. Petron spent a considerable amount of time with me during my visit. He explained in detail his findings including the long and short term implications of my injury. My treatment options along with the pro's and con's of all the choices were covered. I had a lot of questions and Dr. Petron was very patient spending time fielding my concerns. What I appreciated the most was that he made me the primary decision maker in my treatment plan after I knew all of my options.

My daughter came in to see Dr. Petron about her back pain. She is a dedicated Nordic skier with huge goals and expectations in her sport. Within a few minutes we were informed that she had a fracture in her vertebrae and then very little else. It was a huge blow to my daughter, and upsetting to me. We had to ask doctor about suggestions and recommendations on how to manage this problem. He seemed unconcerned that this news might have a huge effect on my daughter, and paid very little concern to her. Nordic skiing is her life, and after this appointment, she was very devastated. We just wish that we had a Dr. who would take her future care more to heart and be just a little more compassionate.

Love Dr. Petron. He shows concern for my ongoing issue, remembers me each visit, has great treatment solutions and makes me laugh. I'm using secondary insurance rather than both primary and secondary so I can see him. My primary won't cover UofU but secondary will. It's worth it for me to have Dr. Petron continue to help me with a pesky back issue that seems to reoccur.
UofU Patient

I set the appointment with Dr. Petron and was surprised when his PA initially came in to see me. Later, both the PA & Dr. Petron were in attendance. Perhaps offer a notice that someone else might be involved in care. If there was such notice, I must not have paid attention.
UofU Patient
September 12, 2015
Dr. Petron was great. He cared not only about my injury but about me as a person. Plus he included my father in the discussion instead of acting as if he was not there.
UofU Patient

Dr Petron and his staff saved my career as a fire fighter. Without their treatment I would have had to retire. This is no way I can express my gratitude for what they have done for me and my family. A thank you is not enough.. The pain I was in is the worst I have ever experienced. While I will probably never fully recover from my injuries. I am at a point where I can fully function and do the job I love. Thank you for all you have done.
UofU Patient
August 08, 2015
Dr. Petron does and says what needs to be said but I have the feeling that he is not very interested in my problems. We were there to talk about options and when he said "I can't tell you what to do." it made me a little angry that we were wasting his time and ours. We were there for a recommendation and got a "who cares" response. It was more his lack of concern that bothered me most. Guess I'm too old for him to care about.
UofU Patient
July 27, 2015
When working in physical therapy, I was told I had a back issue and should let the doc know. When I did he was only interested in my shoulder. If I do have a back issue, I would like it check, but was unsure how to bring it up again.

UofU Patient

anytime I have an Orthopaedic issue, Dr. Petron is the first Dr. that I want to see. The time he spends educating me about my medical problem goes a log ways in helping me see the path to healing and allows me to know what steps I need to take.

Based upon the experience I had at the University Orthopaedic Center, I would recommend them to anyone.

Dr. Petron and his resident took a great deal of time to explain everything and answer all our questions. We are extremely grateful for their excellent care.
UofU Patient
November 10, 2014
I think Dr. Petron is the best. I have already referred him to others.
UofU Patient
November 05, 2014
I was taken aback by how unfriendly Bob Toth, the PA - who I've seen several times previously - was to me during my visit. I don't know what I could possibly have done to warrant such rude behavior. I was also fairly shocked when Dr. Petron addressed his comments to my husband rather than me. I was the patient, was in pain, am an adult, have many degrees including a Ph.D., and I found his talking about me to my husband (while I sat there) offensive. I will not return to either Dr. Petron or Bob Toth.
UofU Patient
October 30, 2014
He took the time to explain future options I will have to relieve pain in the future.
UofU Patient
October 24, 2014
I have infinite trust and faith in Dr. Petron, would advice anyone to go to him.
UofU Patient
October 23, 2014
I have seen Dr. Petron for my care for many years. It was great to know that he understood my concerns that this pain could be metastatic cancer. Her did not hesitate to order the MRI if the pain continued. It was wonderful to be told that I just have arthritis in my back and not cancer.
UofU Patient

Excellent physican

UofU Patient
September 02, 2014
great care
UofU Patient
August 30, 2014
Dr. Petron needs to listen better, explain things better, and show more concern - especially for newly discovered problems. He seemed very distant and detached. I needed to pose questions and drag information out of him that he should have volunteered. I still ended up not understanding the nature of the injection he prescribed. He should also make better eye contact, rather than doing most of his speaking while looking at the xrays, chart or computer.
UofU Patient

UofU Patient
August 06, 2014
I had great concern about going to Dr. Petron and when I walked in and he was not in the room I wanted to bolt⿦. The procedure was very painful.. Dr. Petron was in the other room on the phone except for the end. My experience was nothing like what had been explained to me by my friend and parent who had similar procedures. I felt way to much of the procedure when others said they felt nothing after they were frozen. I would never want this again. My results have not been what I had hoped for either⿦.
UofU Patient

Dr. Petron is great. Ive sent a number of patients to see him

UofU Patient

Speaking as a physician, some of the hardest patients to please are other physicians. The whole team who treated me, including nurse, MA, resident, and attending physician were great, friendly, professional, and thorough.
UofU Patient
July 04, 2014
Dr Petron was excellent. I will request an appointment with him when need arises because of his knowledge and skill.
UofU Patient

Doctor took initiative and felt like my issues/family history were included. Also, MD called early next day with lab results and worked out a collaborative treatment plan and follow-up schedule

Dr. Petron and his PA work very well together!!! I wish I could remember the PA's name. Excellent care
UofU Patient

Dr. Petron was very informative and showed great concern for me and my worries about my condition.

Dr. Petron even went over to Dr. Burks' clinic to see if he could see me right after my appt to avoid a return trip.

Dr Petron was very thorough and pleasant.

Dr Petron is always very professional and explains thing on my level.
UofU Patient
May 12, 2014
A very busy clinic. Once in the room Dr. Petron was knowledgeable, answered all my questions and gave specific treatment plans for me.
UofU Patient
May 11, 2014
I will for sure recommend Dr. Petron to my friends and family, same for Bob Toth PA.

Dr. Petron is an awesome Doctor! He has helped me tremendously over the years. He has made it possible for me to keep working far longer than I would have otherwise. He is a top notch healthcare provider! I tell everyone I care about to get in with him, he will take care of their needs!

dr. petron is AMAZING!!! he really listened and made me feel like he was genuinely concerned about my condition! he epitomizes what all physicians should strive to be!
UofU Patient
April 26, 2014
This was an uncomplicated follow up visit.
UofU Patient
April 26, 2014
i CAME TO SEE THE DOCTOR BY ADVICE FROM MY PREFERRED PROVIDER. DR PETRON WAS HONEST AND SAID HE WOULDN'T GIVE ME AN INJECTION DUE TO THE MY PAST HISTORY WITH INFECTIONS OVER THE PAST 3 YEARS. I APPRECIATED HIS HONESTY AND CONCERN FOR MY WELL BEING.
UofU Patient
April 25, 2014
I am extremely sensitive about the pain medication that I take for my neck. I have decintigration in my facet joints and I have resotimies on the neck twice a year. One of the individuals reviewing my history made me feel sad about the fact that I am on the pain mediciation. I'm sorry but that it something that really disturbs me and makes me feel like less of a person. I'm certain that they were just doing their job.
UofU Patient
April 24, 2014
Dr. Petron called me the day after the appointment to explain my blood results. He spent time talking to me about my concerns and treatment. I really appreciate the amount of time he spent with me.
UofU Patient
April 20, 2014
I really do mean to select very good for everything. I was very impressed with this doctor visit. He was not condescending. He explained my condition well enough for me to understand it without needing to know the complicated medical terminology.
UofU Patient
April 18, 2014
Dr. Petron was most understanding of my issues and gave good advice on how to keep myself in as good as shape as possible. He also was gracious in offering to see a colleague with serious back problems.
UofU Patient
April 18, 2014
Dr. Petron is an excellent care provider. The PA working with him (Bob) is very good. I was very impressed by the orthopedic resident, Alex, that I met during a prior visit.
UofU Patient
April 17, 2014
Dr. Petron's empathy and humility are the characteristics all docs should have.
UofU Patient
April 14, 2014
Delay in obtaining appt was not good. Long clinic wait time was not so good either. I want to refer within system, but these were 2 negatives.
UofU Patient
April 14, 2014
He did not recognize the infection in my arm the first time I went to see him.
UofU Patient
April 13, 2014
Every thing he did was awesome. If I had to go back I would see this doctor again.
UofU Patient
April 06, 2014
Dr. Petron and his PA were fantastic. They showed a genuine concern, trying to come up with anything they could to help my progression after surgery. They were both very knowledgeable and communicated in a way that I could easily understand. I would recommend them to anyone asking about my visit.
UofU Patient
March 31, 2014
in a short time, Dr. Petron's expertise gives me lots of information about the long term plans for my chronic knee and hand problems.
UofU Patient
March 21, 2014
I ALWAYS recommend this clinic.
UofU Patient
March 20, 2014
Just don't think he was interested in my opinion or desired outcome.
UofU Patient
March 19, 2014
I felt rushed. I wanted to talk about options, what would happen if therapy doesn't work, etc.
UofU Patient
March 16, 2014
I brought up request to see hip specialist after this visit and he arranged it immediately. At first told me to see how things went over next 6-8 wks.
UofU Patient
March 12, 2014
I was extremely happy with my care providers. It was obvious they were concerned. I actually had three of them in the room at the same time. I love teaching hospitals!
UofU Patient
March 12, 2014
I adore Dr Petron and have great confidence in his treatment. he's a busy guy, and things sometimes feel rushed, but I do always get all of my questions answered. just not long chats (which is ok)
UofU Patient
March 05, 2014
I have always been treated as a valued and important patient in the clinic. Realistically I know I am not the only patient of the clinic. However, the attention patience and face to face time with my care provider, and nurse assistance make me feel as if they are there for me.
UofU Patient
March 03, 2014
Wish an MRI would have been done on the first visit as the xray missed the diagnosis and PT was done improperly since wrong diagnosis was made initially.
UofU Patient
February 23, 2014
Dr. Petron is an excellent physician. Don't take him away to an administrative position.
UofU Patient
February 16, 2014
Dr Petron has shown a lot of compassion toward me and cares about my pain and condition.
UofU Patient
February 13, 2014
Bob, PA is also excellent.
UofU Patient
February 08, 2014
The caregiver could not really tell me what he thought was wrong. I was referred to physical therapy and they were excellent diagnosing the problem and helping me.
UofU Patient
February 08, 2014
I have already recommended him.
UofU Patient
February 02, 2014
Both PA and provider were excellent...and provider's expertise/manner is why I returned to Petron!
UofU Patient
January 31, 2014
I really liked that Dr. Petron called in Dr. Aoki to look at my knee and give me his advice and recommendations as well. It made me more confident in moving forward with the decision for surgery after hearing from several care providers who all agreed on treatment recommendations!
UofU Patient
January 31, 2014
Very thorough explanation of my problem, very friendly and caring staff.
UofU Patient
January 30, 2014
amazing
UofU Patient
January 30, 2014
Dr Petron is the BEST !!!
UofU Patient
January 26, 2014
he understood my concerns. He understood my perspective in wanting to get back to my activities and running. He looked for a treatment approach that would work for me.
UofU Patient
January 26, 2014
I like Dr Petron very much. He got to the heart of the problem quickly and Mede me feel confident about recovery.
UofU Patient
January 20, 2014
The doctor came in with two other individuals. He talked to them about the process of getting my knee stable and feeling better but spent very little time going over the process with me, the patient. I felt like he was rushed or didn't want to bother with me, as if my injury wasn't too significant. I later saw a paper that was handed to me by the nurse? for physical therapy and I have no idea what to do with that or the process to get that started. My knee feels better due to a cortisone shot but I will probably cancel my follow-up with him.
UofU Patient
January 17, 2014
Dr. Petron and his staff are so kind and concerned. I would highly recommend him to everyone.
UofU Patient
January 16, 2014
I gave a couple fair rating decause I came in with multiple problems, and was well aware that the doctor would not be able to cover them all thoroughly. I will be back for follow up care.
UofU Patient
January 11, 2014
The doctor was great. Very warm and friendly, and knowledgeable.
UofU Patient
January 10, 2014
The MD spent very little time or expressed very little care about the lack of progress or my improvement. The fellows cared and seemed to care more. I am very disappointed by my progress. Dr Petron didn't tell me the side effects of the medicine he prescribed. I am very displeased with my results at this time.
UofU Patient
January 09, 2014
Dr. Petron is a fantastic physician. He provided outstanding patient care from start to finish.
UofU Patient
December 31, 2013
The education from the care provider was lacking. I left feeling a little lost, and I am a health care provider. I wish there had been a nurse to do some follow up teaching with me, or that Dr. Petron had taken the time.
UofU Patient
December 07, 2013
I would definitely recommend the physician and orthopedic center to others.
UofU Patient
December 03, 2013
Dr. Petrone has always taken the time to detemine my progress and answer questions, both from me and my husband.
UofU Patient
December 03, 2013
I felt like I was not listened to, and that my issues were not important. Despite 10 weeks of pain, I was told "well, your MRA is not normal, but just stay off it for 2-3 months and see if it gets better" After further testing and evaluation by a second physician, it turns out my problem is significant and requires surgery to prevent further degeneration.
UofU Patient
December 02, 2013
Petron cared about my experience and understood that I wanted to get back to an active life as soon as possible and clearly did all he could to help me reach that point.
UofU Patient
November 25, 2013
always nice
UofU Patient
November 25, 2013
Great
UofU Patient
November 25, 2013
Dr. Petron went above and beyond what most doctors would do to listen and understand my situation and made a great recommendation for further care.
UofU Patient
November 18, 2013
My knee feels great.
UofU Patient
November 01, 2013
I prefer to go to him as he does not automatically recommend surgery.
UofU Patient
October 31, 2013
Previous visits convinced me Dr. Petron is an excellent doctor. However, this time I was sent away with no recommendations for my problem. We never really discussed if it would heal itself or I would just have to learn to tolerate the pain and discomfort I'm now feeling.
UofU Patient
October 24, 2013
Knowledgeable, attentive and pleasant.
UofU Patient
October 23, 2013
I came in thinking I either had bone cancer or was a hypochondriac. Dr. Petron was very nice about telling me I am not a hypochondriac, because I did have a broken bone, but also that it was very unlikely to be cancer because it was healing nicely.
UofU Patient
October 21, 2013
Dr. Petron was great! He asked all the questions and did the range of motion, strength and movement testing (along with x-rays) that addressed the questions/issues I had. I felt completely well cared for, heard and able to voice the questions I had without censorship or dismissal.
UofU Patient
October 15, 2013
excellent care provider
UofU Patient
October 08, 2013
Dr. Petron and his PA were very friendly, informed, and attentive to my problem. They were thorough and discussed treatment with me and I was confident in the plan.
UofU Patient
September 30, 2013
We LOVE Dr. Petron and his staff. Despite his busy and demanding schedule and his high caliber of usual patients we were treated with equal importance and concern and care. He allowed my daughter to continue with her two loves (cheer and golf) and put our worries to rest. Reassured us that if anything changes he is available and explained the next step in the process. He didn't just jump ahead into expensive and maybe unnecessary testing, i.e. mri, scan.
UofU Patient
September 27, 2013
I was very pleased with the level of concern, treatment and care I received.
UofU Patient
September 26, 2013
I highly recommend Dr. Petron
UofU Patient
September 25, 2013
the times I have been there, I have seen a assistant to take first notes, then a resident, and then the resident with Dr. Petro. When Dr. Petro and resident are in the room, a female (nurse, LPN, assistant?) is in the room taking notes on computer.
UofU Patient
September 24, 2013
I had a lot of unexpected pain following the procedure. Had I anticipated it, I could have asked for information about how to treat it. There was some written information but I think a follow up call from the provider would be really great.
UofU Patient
September 22, 2013
Very unsatisfied with the treatment I received following the cortozone injection. The manipulation that was carried out put me in immense pain and completely nullified any good effects I had following the injection, with Dr. Petron even stating that he thought the second part of his manipulation of my shoulder went too far. I am very concerned that this manipulation was carried out without any anaesthetic as the pain I suffered was immense.
UofU Patient
September 04, 2013
I have never had a bad experience at the clinic. Been seen several times, have had xray's, MRI's, and even surgery there.
UofU Patient
September 04, 2013
Petron is very good technically and is a nice man.
UofU Patient
August 28, 2013
Seriously outstanding exam, care, team approach and explanations
UofU Patient
August 27, 2013
There were three people who saw me, so it is hard to rank all three in one survey. The first person who came in--a technician?--seemed to want to be some where else. The PA was slightly more interested.
UofU Patient
August 26, 2013
Dr. Petron is one of the best in providing patient care. He is very caring and considerate , not to mention knowing his field. I recommend him to everyone who has joint issues. You are lucky to have such a great physician.
UofU Patient
August 26, 2013
I had 3 doctors in the room and felt very well taken care of and that they were all very interested in my issue. Loved them all :)
UofU Patient
August 24, 2013
Great!
UofU Patient
August 23, 2013
My only issue with my visit was no one explained the possibility of pain after the treatment, but I didn't ask either I was just so happy that it wasn't hurting any more at the time and really it only hurt that evening and Ibuprofen took care of the pain. Very happy with the results the next day pain was gone
UofU Patient
August 15, 2013
Dr.Petron is the BEST !!! He has been my Doctor for over 20 years and i have never had a more caring and careful Doctor! I recommend him to all my friends when asked.
UofU Patient

Dr. Petron is what I wish all Doctors were like, expert in his field and extremely friendly and down to earth. He is such a class act and answers any questions I have.
UofU Patient
August 12, 2013
Petron is a great Dr. in my opinion. He has helped me more than any other Physician with my particular ailments. He is AWESOME!!!!!!!
UofU Patient
August 12, 2013
I was nervous coming in because I hurt so bad and thought that the only way to fix the problem would be to "slice" & "dice" my shoulder, but both Toth and Petron were quite cool and calm, happy and kind when telling me that surgery was not the means to fixing my shoulder and that cortisol would be the first attempt in avoiding "the knife". No surgery!
UofU Patient
August 09, 2013
As I mentioned before both Dr. Petron and his PA's and staff were wonderful

UofU Patient
July 24, 2013
the provider spent less than 2 minutes in the exam room did not examine me or give me any instructions about further care. Just that "hope this last a while for you" and left the room. Over my three appointments none of the providers moved or felt my knee except for locating the injections site.
UofU Patient
July 15, 2013
if I could give Dr. Petron 10's instead of 5's I would.
UofU Patient

UofU Patient

You feel like a number with Dr. Petron. He seems rushed and is very brief. He seem arrogant
UofU Patient
May 27, 2013
Dr Petron showed concern about my shoulder and he wants to help me. He has always treated me well and his staff has always treated me well.
UofU Patient
May 24, 2013
Dr.Petron is one of, if not the best Doctor I have ever had treating me !!
UofU Patient
May 21, 2013
Dr Petron is top notch! He is by far, the best Dr. I have ever been to. Unfortunatly for me, there have been a lot of them! He has helped me more than the others combined.
UofU Patient
May 20, 2013
I got good and friendly and efficient treatment throughout, in the front office, the examining room and the x-ray facility. Bravo!
UofU Patient
May 20, 2013
Bob and Dr. Petron are a great team. They both were interested in my concerns and answered my questions with clarity.
UofU Patient
May 20, 2013
Dr would ask a question and then cut you off half way through the answer as if he did not really care for the answer. He did this several time. He seemed more interested in showing the residents how smart he was. I never got a chance to even tell all the problems related to my problem but maybe he can read minds!
UofU Patient
May 18, 2013
Dr. Petron is an exception physician - knowledgeable, savvy, personable and attentive to the presenting problem and questions I provided. He was effective in his use of our time yet did not make me feel rushed - answer all my questions and left me feeling that we had a treatment plan and confident in different approaches if Tx choices were not effective.
UofU Patient
May 17, 2013
He walks in with a whole entrauge rarely speaks to me and tells me I need an injection. I wait, he comes back. He barely talked to me. It was if i was a burden to him and his time. He was just "trying" the injection first then would try something next. I don't want to be an expirement, I want quality care for my problem.
UofU Patient
May 15, 2013
I LOVE Dr. Petron!! He seems genuinely concerned, does not waste time, and lets me look at the ultrasound of my shoulder whenever I am in the clinic. He helped me very much during a recent panic attack I had while in the exam room. He inspires confidence.
UofU Patient
May 13, 2013
Very good experience
UofU Patient
May 09, 2013
Dr. Petron was very through as was his fellow resident.
UofU Patient
May 03, 2013
There were no bad experiences so far.
UofU Patient
April 26, 2013
The youngest medical professional ("Dr. Toby"?) had incredible people skills. The resident (a woman, sorry don't remember the name) was continuously curious, which helped her figure out the problem. Dr. Petron figured out what to do about it. All-in-all, a great team effort.
UofU Patient
April 22, 2013
The talk was pleasant and informative.
UofU Patient
April 19, 2013
I spent more time with the fellow than the Doctor. They were both friendly, but I would prefer to spend more time with the actual provider I am scheduled to see.
UofU Patient
April 17, 2013
Dr. Petron is amazing. I really appreciate all he does for me and my knees.
UofU Patient
April 06, 2013
Great
UofU Patient
April 01, 2013
Dr. Petron has been my orthopedist for the past 6 years. He has always provided practical advice on my osteoarthritis. I have a trusting relationship with him as a medical services provider.
UofU Patient
April 01, 2013
Dr. Petron is a prince. Can't say enough about him and the care he gives.
UofU Patient
March 25, 2013
Dr. Petron got me right in for MRI after I saw him. Dr. Petron is very friendly but quick. He gets what he needs to get done in a very short time.
UofU Patient
March 15, 2013
Both the visiting resident and Dr Petron were caring, concerned, and took the time needed to address my concerns & make sure I understood the plan of care.
UofU Patient
March 12, 2013
Dr Petron is very kind and caring, I have great trust in him
UofU Patient
March 11, 2013
I felt like a was a study specimen as he was explaining my conditions to the residents more than to me
UofU Patient
March 05, 2013
Great experience!
UofU Patient
March 05, 2013
Maybe a tiny bit rushed--this is a very busy practice and I could see the faculty and satff hustling to take good care of so many patients.
UofU Patient
March 02, 2013
I have recommended the procedure and Dr to 2 other people. I hope their insurance will allow them to have the help they need.
UofU Patient
February 26, 2013
It meant a lot that the PA would go through the trouble of providing me with a copy of my x-rays.
UofU Patient
February 18, 2013
I have utmost faith and trust in Dr. Petron and recommend him to all my friends and family.
UofU Patient
February 11, 2013
Very efficient getting me to the correct specialist.
UofU Patient
February 11, 2013
Dr.Petron spent a great deal of time with me and did not appear rushed.
UofU Patient
February 04, 2013
I am just complicated and they were great with me!!
UofU Patient
January 28, 2013
Again I love Dr. Petron but felt very rushed. I was told that I was going to need surgery and they scheduled me for an MRI. However, they were unable to inform me if I was going to need to drink contrast stating that it was up to the radiology technician. Dr. Petron talked with his PA more than he talked with me. I was told nothing about the surgery and sent on my way with some pain medication and an MRI appointment. I am expecting more information after the MRI.
UofU Patient
January 23, 2013
I have already recommended the Ortho Center and will continue to do so. Dr. Petron, Bob and the staff are just awesome!
UofU Patient
January 22, 2013
He was great.
UofU Patient
January 22, 2013
I was there for an injection. Dr. Petron did an excellent job.
UofU Patient
January 18, 2013
I will recommend Dr. Petron...
UofU Patient
January 14, 2013
Came into exam room without previewing record. I know everything is computerized but think the electronic record should be reviewed before he comes into the room.
UofU Patient
January 07, 2013
Thanks, Dr. Petron, for always showing concern and for taking good care of me!
UofU Patient
January 04, 2013
Dr. Petron has always taken every step to ensure that I was as comfortable as could be, and did everything possible to get me back to normal.( or as close to it as I come! ) I have faith in him and tell anyone I know that he is the greatest Dr. I have ever had. And I have seen a few!
UofU Patient
January 02, 2013
Both Dr. Petron and Bob Toth were great. Bob spent the most time with me and was very good. Dr. Petron was also very good. I felt comfortable discussing my condition with them and they were very good at conveying to me what was going on in a manner that I understood.
UofU Patient
December 26, 2012
did not discuss bone spur, which is secondary pblm. will ask at my follow-up visit.
UofU Patient
December 24, 2012
Dr. Petron and his PA provide excellent care
UofU Patient
December 14, 2012
I have recommended Dr. Petron to many of my friends and acquaintances. My son is also Dr. Petron's patient.
UofU Patient
December 07, 2012
Dr. Petron was great in helping me understand what was wrong. He helped me get the necessary treatment as quick as possible.
UofU Patient
December 07, 2012
Joy English was my first contact with an MD, she took her time and explained things to my understanding. However, Dr. Petron was a blast in and out with an ok that sounds good, let's do that. Rather short and sweet.
UofU Patient
December 03, 2012
Dr Patron and Dr Plet are the best.
UofU Patient
November 28, 2012
This was my first visit with Dr. Petron. I wasn't sure what to expect, considering his name on the pictures of all the famous people in the waiting room. He was very friendly and I felt confident in him as health care provider.
UofU Patient
November 22, 2012
Once in the exam room, my experience was very good.
UofU Patient
November 19, 2012
good
UofU Patient
November 19, 2012
I have already recommended Dr. Petron to a friend.
UofU Patient
November 16, 2012
Both Dr. Petron and his PA were very professional, patient and easy to talk to. They both listened to and "heard" my questions and concerns. An excellent experience.
UofU Patient
November 13, 2012
Dr Petron and his staff are always EXCELLENT in taking care of my needs
UofU Patient
November 12, 2012
The doctor was awesome.
UofU Patient
November 06, 2012
Excellent experience
UofU Patient
October 31, 2012
Dr. Petron came in the room after reviewing my chart so he knew the specifics of the case. He is personable and friendly
UofU Patient
October 30, 2012
t i was very grateful that dr. petron was there.
UofU Patient
October 30, 2012
Dr. Petron is the best. He has a great bed-side mannor and is always friendly and fun.
UofU Patient
October 30, 2012
He was knowledgeable and communicated well.
UofU Patient
October 22, 2012
Although the doctor was busy he took the time to discuss a related problem with me--he asked questions, examined my joints, and generally helped alleviate an orthopedic problem i was having
UofU Patient
October 16, 2012
Dr. Petron is an excellent provider. He knows what he's doing and he explains everything very well.
UofU Patient
October 16, 2012
The injections have decreased my pain level. I am happy with your team and the results.
UofU Patient
October 09, 2012
Excellent
UofU Patient
October 09, 2012
I have recommended Dr. Petron to others including my husband and other family members
UofU Patient
October 08, 2012
The time I spent with Dr. Petron on the telephone was more than adequate.
UofU Patient
October 08, 2012
Dr. Petron is an excellent provider and I have always been very happy with the care that he has provided for me through the years.
UofU Patient
October 02, 2012
The provider spoke directly to the PA when viewing my MRI and did not explain to me what I was seeing. Perhaps I wasn't aggressive enough (I'm not shy), but I think that explaining the film directly to the patient is important - shouldn't have to ask.
UofU Patient
October 01, 2012
Time was short with the doctor
UofU Patient
September 24, 2012
I have seen Dr. Petron before, and trust his judgement.
UofU Patient
September 24, 2012
Really like Dr. Petron. Very kind and concerned. If I have to have the surgery, I would want him to do it.
UofU Patient
September 24, 2012
great experience, diagnosis i agree, but swelling persist and feel pt should maybe be put on hold. i am planning another visit very soon. my first thought was how professional everyone was, i felt comfortable with everyone involved.
UofU Patient
August 31, 2012
A great experience overall for a procedure I'd been nervous about and heard horror stories about from other people.
UofU Patient
August 28, 2012
I liked Dr Petron. He was very approachable and helpful.
UofU Patient
August 27, 2012
Dr. Petron has been patching me up for many years now, and has done a fantastic job of keeping me going. I recommend him highly to anyone I meet who has ortho problems.
UofU Patient
August 22, 2012
Dr. Petron was extremely nice and very professional about my injury and what I needed to accomplish in order to heal quickly
UofU Patient
August 13, 2012
I have never been treated better by any clinic anywhere. Kudos
UofU Patient
August 09, 2012
I've always felt that his was sound, the best.
UofU Patient
August 08, 2012
Dr. Petron is very good but also very pressed for time. He does a good job explaining issues in that limited time but he could improve on checking for understanding.
UofU Patient
August 06, 2012
MD very friendly, and able to convey concern & not appear hurried, eventhough he obviously had a very busy clinic.
UofU Patient
August 06, 2012
Very efficient and professional in all areas!
UofU Patient
August 03, 2012
despite my appointment being pushed back an hour, the service was excellent from both the primary, 1st yr residents and PAs. I was actually impressed by the service provided.
UofU Patient
August 03, 2012
Dr Petron and his PA, Bob were excellent and I have already referred.
UofU Patient
July 30, 2012
Felt rushed, had questions I didn't get a chance to ask. There were to many patients and not enough time.
UofU Patient
July 30, 2012
I felt like it was professionally done.
UofU Patient
July 30, 2012
Again, I felt I was not well informed about the results of the MRI I had earlier in the day, and in fact was never even told if I needed to make a follow up appointment. Although everyone I worked with was awesome, it seemed like a very rushed procedure.
UofU Patient
July 30, 2012
If he spent this little time with everyone and I was a new patient, I don't understand how he could be so far behind.
UofU Patient
June 29, 2012
Dr Peteron and his staff were great. I appreciated the time Dr Petron spent helping me understand the issues and how to treat my health problem.
UofU Patient
June 28, 2012
I would recomned him to any one
UofU Patient
June 18, 2012
Very good
UofU Patient
June 18, 2012
I left without a clear understanding of my diagnosis. I can't tell you what specific tendon is having what specific problem, or what specific muscle isn't tracking properly in my shoulder.
UofU Patient
June 18, 2012
Felt like Dr. Petron took time to answer my questions and took the time to go beyond the scope of why i was there to explin what was going on with me and how he felt that it would resolve a lot of my issues when i have surgery.
UofU Patient
June 18, 2012
Dr. Petron is one of the best
UofU Patient
June 18, 2012
My recommendations will be on skill and knowledge that I felt my health care provider had. That's what makes me come back and recommend.
UofU Patient
June 13, 2012
Dr. Petron is the man the myth and legend!!!
UofU Patient
May 16, 2012
I was still a little unsure about the plan for my recovery, timing on recovery and what would need to be done, however I think this may have to do with the fact that my ankle was so swollen, maybe the doctors don't know a plan or timing yet.
UofU Patient
May 04, 2012
The doctor was unclear about the treatments he wanted me to do. However he was very friendly and caring.
UofU Patient
May 04, 2012
I had difficulty with the injections (vaso-vagal response) and they took quick care of me and tended to my needs. Very helpful.
UofU Patient
May 01, 2012
They came in, see me, ask for the condition, when out, came back, drain fluid, when out, and never came back. Here then came the nurse at 5:00 PM on Friday, told me I can leave. I was laying on the bed with my shoe and sock of and still waiting for further instruction. Then I was asked to leave. With the condition of my knee on that day, I couldn't even wear the sock by myself. I was asked to leave in pain, without proper help and further instructions. I was frustrated about the medical service that I received.
UofU Patient
May 01, 2012
Dr. Petron did an effective job and was quite personable and responsive.
UofU Patient
May 01, 2012
Very favorable impressions
UofU Patient
May 01, 2012
This was one of the better /best experiences I've had in regards to feeling heard and being walked through what was going to happen. I was nervous about not being taken seriously because my injury doesn't cause me constant pain. Its induced from certain activities. I feel Dr Petron understood my want to be as active as I used to be.
UofU Patient
April 24, 2012
Dr. Petron is fantastic. I couldn't ask for anything better from him as a doctor or his staff. A++++ all the way.
UofU Patient
April 20, 2012
Dr. Petron is fantastic! Very easy to talk to, answered all my questions, explained treatment options. I would recommend these providers to anyone.
UofU Patient
April 19, 2012
I think DR Petron is one of the very best, always professional, timely and efficient.
UofU Patient
April 19, 2012
the Doctor seemed to be too busy or behind to even take a look at my file before he came in the room, he thought I had arthritis, I have TOTAL loss of all cartlidge between both knees, not even close
UofU Patient
March 31, 2012
I asked about one of the six injections. When I asked about whether there was a problem, I did not get what I believe was an adequate explanation. This one was out of alignment with the others and still do not know why.
UofU Patient
March 30, 2012
Dr. Petron always goes the extra mile in providing care and information. At this visit he really assisted me with a minor secondary item--the removal of a troublesome corn/callus on my foot that I didn't expect but really appreciated that he did. I have recommended Dr. Petron to many people on numerous occasions. really appreciated.
UofU Patient
March 27, 2012
I am unhappy that I waited 60 minutes to see this doctor and he spent less than 5 minutes with me in the examining room. Furthermore, he wasn't going to give me a prescription for physical therapy - I had to ask for it and then he said "oh, that might be a good idea". Very disappointed. I will go out of my way to recommend that friends and acquaintances do NOT go to him.
UofU Patient
March 27, 2012
I was impressed with everyone who took care of me. It was nice that we were able to talk on a level that was comfortable for all of us. I appreciate the time that was taken and I felt that I was able to voice all of my concerns. The doctors answered my concerns, provided the information that I needed. They were both very friendly. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs their services.
UofU Patient
March 27, 2012
Petron is Excellent and he knows his stuff but is often times very busy.
UofU Patient
March 23, 2012
Dr Petron was appropriate in medical evaluation. I appreciated that they took the time to investigate and listened to my LONG answers and they stated they actually benefited from additional information that I shared even though it was from an injury 10 months prior. Thank-you.
UofU Patient
March 16, 2012
my visit was very positive
UofU Patient
March 02, 2012
The Dr. went right to the problem and solution. I received an injection the very 1st visit which helped my shoulder almost immediately. Excellent care.
UofU Patient
February 23, 2012
The fellow performed the procedure with Dr. Petron supervising. The fellow did a great job!
UofU Patient
February 23, 2012
Dr. Petron and team have been outstanding to work with and I would gladly recommend them to anyone needing lower back care (as it relates only to my injury).
UofU Patient
February 16, 2012
Dr. Petron is always good with me!
UofU Patient
February 14, 2012
Dr. Petron and staff are outstanding in terms of bedside manner and explaining options for care.
UofU Patient
February 10, 2012
Dr petron in very good but always in a hurry
UofU Patient
February 07, 2012
Petron is the best!!!
UofU Patient
February 02, 2012
I didn't think about it at the time but 2 days later I realized I needed pain medications so I could sleep. I wish I was offered that when I was in the office the first time.
UofU Patient
January 27, 2012
The PA was very nice and explained things very clearly. The Doctor appeared very confident and experienced. I still need to find out the issue, which is the only negative thing about my visit. I'm scheduled for an MRI and follow-up visit later this month. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to contact the MRI lab to find out if I need to prepare for the lab procedure in any way before showing up (fasting, what to wear, or not to wear, etc.) because no one at the office told me anything about it.
UofU Patient
January 26, 2012
Yes, I will tell others.
UofU Patient
January 19, 2012
Dr Petron and his staff were attentive and responsive to my needs. Fantastic job.
UofU Patient
January 10, 2012
Dr. Petron is excellent. Goes right to the issue, treated it right away, made suggestions about the short and long term prospects of knee injury treatment, etc.
UofU Patient
January 07, 2012
Dr. Petron is caring, kind and expert care provider. He is amazing, that is all I can say.
UofU Patient
January 06, 2012
Although the doctor didn't spend a lot of time with me, he spent the necessary time with me given my problem. There was not a need for more time--he explained the cause and treatment and I was on my way.
