Susan Basta has helped me manage my cronic back Paine for about 5-6 years. I can't imagine not having her available to assist me. I suffered 8-9 years before I came to the clinic. I hopefully can continue in the face of the panic regarding the use of opioids being abused by others.

Sue Bata is one in a million. She is never rushed. I know she always has other patients but makes me feel like I am her only patient. I wish others were like that instead of feeling like you were just a number or a rotating person in a room. She makes me feel like she genuinely cares me and what's going on with me. She takes time to listen. She explains things in ways I can unerstand. She also asks about my other Dr visits heath concerns and we'll being as a whole. It's not just this visit and what she is treating me for like some Dr's do, everything is tied together and she understands that. I appreciate the fact she cares about me as her patient, as a person and I trust her. This helps when we discuss my care because I know she has my best interest in in and the whole picture. There is no doubt I would recommend both Sue & the pain clinic to others if I was ever asked for a referral.

UofU Patient
October 13, 2016
Dr. Basts is the best. She understands my problem with on-going pain in back, always discusses it but also recognizes it is a long term management issue. She is firm about keeping my doses in check to insure pain is managed without giving too much. I have expressed to her my concern about those who think those of us who manage pain this way think nsrcotics are too plentiful. I'm concerned for my pain management future and how difficult it may become to get the drugs especially if I travel out of state.

UofU Patient
October 08, 2016
This particular care provider is more than professional. She puts your problems on her shoulders or puts herself in your shoes during the exam consultation. She sincerely understands your problems to the best of her ability before any treatment is advised or given.

One of the best things that has happened to me in managing my back pain is that I came to the pain clinic. Susan Basta NP has shown concern and helped me to manage by using medications is a responsible and effective way. It's too bad there is so much abuse of pain medications making it hard on those of us who use them properly. The Dr's and nurses of the clinic has helped me to manage my problem for over 4 years and I am indeed thankful.

UofU Patient
March 04, 2016

I cannot say enough about how professional, knowledgeable and kind Susan Basta, NP is. As a retired nurse who worked at the University of Utah Moran Eye Center for 23 years I sometimes set the bar too high in expectation of care providers. Ms. Basta is the quintessential health care provider! I have been well-cared for and would recommend her to any patient with chronic pain who is looking for the person who will provide the highest possible care and concern!

UofU Patient
August 14, 2015
Sue Basta has always taken the time to evaluate my health by asking questions that evaluate my emotional well being, my physical comfort/discomfort, and even my nutritional health. She thought to check my blood for vitamin D levels and discovered that I am very deficient, and by addressing this could manage my pain levels. I appreciate the time Sue Basta spends with me on our visits, and I always leave with some new information and suggestions to improve my well-being. I trust Sue completely, and I would highly recommend the U of U Pain Management center to anyone in need of such care. I would recommend Sue as an incredibly knowledgeable, skilled and sympathetic care provider.

Dr Sue Basta has been one of the Very Best Care Providers I've ever had! Next to Dr Dana Clarke, (The very best Dr. I've ever known or worked with!) my old and Long term provider I had in Endocrinology at the University. (I originally came to the University solely to work with him.) You may not realize just how high a praise that is, for I have Never had a Doctor or Care Provider as wonderful and capable as he was! Dr. Basta, Like Dr. Clarke, is probably one of the few Care Providers I would follow.

UofU Patient
February 08, 2015
Susan Basta is very good at knowing the medication needed to help me with my back pain management. the pain management clinic has been an answer to my prayers since I started with them.

UofU Patient
September 28, 2014
I'm changing medication for my pain management and Susan too extra time in explaining and re assuring me about the change and its possible side effects. This was very nice to have happen.

UofU Patient
August 30, 2014
She started a change in my medications and took the time to explaine any suspected side effects. I'm appreciative of that as I have had some mild stomach upset but it is going away.

I love the service I am receiving. The care provider is awsome.

UofU Patient
April 06, 2012
I do not like the computer thing. It keeps the Dr. from looking at the patient, and it makes me feel as if they are not paying attention to my problems. I know they are, but they have to do 2 things at once, and it is just unfair to them and to us. Most people can't type and look at someone at the same time. The dr's aren't supposed to be secretaries!! I hate the idea of taking notes on a computer.

UofU Patient
March 14, 2012
Sue Basta does an outstanding job of taking care of the patient.

UofU Patient

UofU Patient
February 15, 2012
Sue Basta is very good at listening to my concerns. She is genuine. If she knows the answer to my question she make every effort to help me understad it. if she does'nt understand your question shes very good at trying to engage you until he does. if she does'nt know the answer there's no smoke or mirrors she tells you she does'nt know but usually has a answer the next appiontment. When I had a complication with my treatment I did'nt have a problem getting through to her & she arranged for me to be seen for which I will always be greatful. She cares not just about my symptoms she cares about me!
