Dr. Stanford and NPJensen were incredibly thorough and respectful during our exams. They answered all of our questions and did not rush through the appointment. We left feeling that we had been listened to.

I expected up spend more time with Dr. Stanford, not the NP. It was frustrating having to wait several weeks to see him and then spend more time with her.

Dr. Stanford is the best.

UofU Patient October 01, 2019

5 out of 5 stars

Dr. Stanford is thorough and was willing to answer my questions. I felt like he knew what he was doing and was knowledgeable. I could tell he had a plan but I felt like I had to ask more questions than I expected to ensure it was fully communicated. Him: Take X medication every Y days. Me: what should I expect after completing that regimen? when do I need to call you if things don't happen the way you expect?

I couldn't recommend Dr. Stanford highly enough!! He was so attentive and he listened very intently to my concerns. He spent a lot of time with me and included me in the treatment decision process.

UofU Patient November 13, 2018

Dr. Stanford never seems rushed to get you out the door. He spends a significant amount of time making sure all of our questions and concerns were addressed. It is refreshing to find a provider who really takes the time to listen.

UofU Patient September 14, 2018

Dr. Stanford is phenomenal! He personally e-mails and calls me back when needed. He is knowledgeable and very kind. I've very much appreciated being his patient.

5 out of 5 stars

He seemed very knowledgeable and asked lots of questions. He was very respectful during the exam and talked me through everything before he did it or asked before he touched me. It made me feel very comfortable and made the experience far less uneasy than past experiences.

UofU Patient February 05, 2018

Always patient and willing to spend time with me

UofU Patient December 10, 2017

Dr. Stanford is very thoughtful, thorough, and friendly.

UofU Patient November 26, 2017

I was pleasantly surprised with how much time Dr. Stanford spent with me discussing my concerns, looking over my charts, and explaining any potential issues that I may have. He was patient in answering my questions and used terms I understood.

UofU Patient September 21, 2017

I didn't feel like he cared about my situation as more than a mild disturbance to his research into my overall problems. I was trying to hold back tears and he didn't seem to notice. For months all I wanted was for him to show emotional awareness and when I needed it most he failed.

UofU Patient August 06, 2017

Excellent physician showed great concern, experience, and bedside manner.

UofU Patient July 15, 2017

I wish he would have been sure about my diagnosis and told me rather than assuming we all knew since he just kept saying it.

UofU Patient July 06, 2017

He was so knowledgeable and helpful. explained things clearly and made me feel very comfortable.

UofU Patient June 05, 2017

He seems knowledgeable which is great. But sometimes it seemed like he struggled to express his thoughts. I'd rather just spit it out, even if he's going to go a different route. I appreciated all the time he spent with us, but felt at times like we were just waiting for him to sort through his own thoughts. Not a lot of clarity. Felt like at times he wasn't sure what he wanted.

UofU Patient March 13, 2017

As long as we have plenty of questions, we get as much information as we need!Dr. Stanford is very good to answer all of our questions in detail.

UofU Patient December 19, 2016

Dr. Stanford has been wonderful. He has been available to answer any questions I have, even on the weekends. I really appreciate that.

UofU Patient November 07, 2016

I felt like Dr Stanford was very thorough and informative. He was looking at all of the details of my health and concerns. I appreciate that. I feel like I am getting good care and answers to my questions.

UofU Patient September 12, 2016

We had an excellent experience and I would recommend Dr. Stanford to anyone seeking help with fertility.

UofU Patient September 12, 2016

I have made several attempts to get the physician on the follow to follow about about blood work I had done and each time I get that he's left the clinic early... by 8 am on a work day.

UofU Patient June 26, 2016

He was very thorough in his evaluation of me, he was even highly interested in knowing about other conditions that I have so that he could ensure that he was giving me the best treatment and care possible.

UofU Patient April 02, 2016

so grateful to have found Dr. Stanford and his team!

UofU Patient January 26, 2016

I'm so grateful for Dr. Stanford's depth of knowledge in regards to fertility issues. He was finally able to confirm a hormonal problem that I have strongly felt was wrong for a over a year but could not find a healthcare professional who would listen and/or who had proper experience and knowledge to diagnose it.

UofU Patient May 19, 2015

Dr. Stanford is very sensitive and caring

UofU Patient December 06, 2014

we've been so impressed by Dr. Stanford! Even before we met him and visited with him we heard so many great things about him, from the staff on the phone to his patients in the lobby! So many people fat and rave about him. He took time to personally email me about my questions and concerns before even having an appointment with him. We are so grateful to be working with Dr. Stanford!

UofU Patient November 02, 2014

Care provider could have used the technical terms and defined them for me if needed. I'm pretty well-versed in the more technical terms, and he seemed to avoid using them in favor of talking around them in simpler terms, which made it more difficult to understand what he really meant.

UofU Patient June 16, 2014

Dr. Stanford has always been very great taking care of my husband and I.

UofU Patient May 12, 2014

I've never had a better more thorough experience!

UofU Patient April 19, 2014

Dr. Stanford was more thorough and concerned about our overall health than any other doctor. Everything seemed very personal to our situation and needs. :)

UofU Patient June 18, 2012

I recommend Dr. Stanford all the time. He's the best doctor I've ever met (and that says something as I'm a nurse!)

UofU Patient April 23, 2012

I always appreciate the time Dr. Standford spends with me. I know he is very thoughtful and thorough. I never mind waiting because I know he is a good doctor who cares about his patients.

UofU Patient February 27, 2012

He is an excellent doctor, I am lucky to see him.

UofU Patient January 07, 2012

These questions are not applicable since I had a lab only appointment.

Research Statement

I seek to understand and improve the impact of reproductive health on child health and development. Since 1991, I have conducted research in natural family planning, natural procreative technology, reproductive epidemiology, and life course epidemiology, including serving as principal investigator or co-investigator for five preconception cohort studies. I am currently principal investigator for the Utah Children's Project, a cohort to investigate child health outcomes in relation to early life exposures (back to conception) and genetics; and one of the principal investigators for the participation of UCP in the NIH Environmental influences and Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) consortium. I am also working on international practice-based research for restorative reproductive medicine- a primary approach to infertility that empowers couples, has cumulative live birth rates comparable to other treatments, and has much lower rates of perinatal and neonatal morbidity and lower cost.
