UofU Patient
November 06, 2018
The Billings Clinic oncologist gave me partial information about the onco-typing results and sent me off to decide whether or not to have chemotherapy. Dr. Buys knew my test results and took the time to explain them along with the risks and benefits of the treatment options. I will always consider meeting with Dr. Buys to be a great blessing in my life!

UofU Patient

Dr Buys is simply amazing.

UofU Patient
September 30, 2018
I think this appointment was a fluke in that is was so short for a number of reasons; and due to a mistake in sending a tissue sample to be studied, the main reason for my visit, and the answers to my questions, and why I had come for the appointment were not completed. I found it very frustrating. I still have the utmost confidence in Dr Buys and think she is excellent. I am grateful to have gotten in with her as my oncologist as I know how busy she is. However, this appointment was not what I expected; and I feel left hanging for the moment.

UofU Patient
September 29, 2018
Dr. Buys never seems rushed and she takes the time to explain my health conditions and respond to my questions. I feel like she cares about me and is going the extra mile to provide the best health care possible. I enjoy seeing her.

A wonderful caring doctor

UofU Patient
August 04, 2018
I felt Dr. Buys took the time necessary to explain treatment plan, along with follow-up care and did not feel I was being pushed into making a decision along her ideas, unlike the feeling I get when spoken to by the medical assistant.

UofU Patient

always the very best care

Dr Buys represents all that one can expect/ask for in a care provider--intelligent, caring, unassuming, attentive to details, bringing research findings into explanations. I am very fortunate to have her as my oncologist (and HCH is also fortunate!)

Both Dr. Buys and the resident who worked with her gave me the impression that they had all the time in the world for me. I felt cared for---and their concern stayed with me.

Dr. Buys is an excellent oncologist with a warm and gentle approach. I could never wish for a better caregiver.

She's great!

UofU Patient
October 17, 2017
this was a lab appt only with a nurse so none of these apply

UofU Patient

UofU Patient
October 14, 2017
I felt that the physicians listened to my responses and responded well to my questions.

Dr. Buys is not only a pre-eminent cancer doctor, but she shows a great deal of empathy and interest when explaining the treatment protocol she has recommended. She answered all my questions and concerns and also wanted to know about my general health and condition -- and how these factors might influence my recovery and my future. She spent a generous amount of time with me -- which I thought was remarkable. I'm fortunate to be in her care.

UofU Patient

UofU Patient
June 26, 2017
Dr. Buys explained all the possibilities for treatment, pro and con, and when I left she gave me the detailed notes of our conversation; I am a visual learner, and this was quite helpful, especially on later rereading. She was sympathetic and helpful with my underlying feeling of loss, not previously acknowledged nor understood by me.

UofU Patient
June 23, 2017
Both Dr. Buys and Chantal are outstanding professionals; Huntsman is fortunate to have them on staff as are all the patients who see them.

UofU Patient
June 14, 2017
Dr Buys is extremely gifted in the way she handles patients and the amount of compassion she exhibits. Pair those traits with her brilliance in how she explains your condition honestly and the amount of knowledge she has and there is no one better in the industry.

UofU Patient
January 23, 2017
The only bright spot in all this is having Dr. Buys, Chanteel, and all the wonderful nurses who take care of me

UofU Patient
January 13, 2017
I'm so fortunate to have Dr Saundra Buys, Chanteel, Sharon, Anne, Emily, Lisa, and her entire team ready to take care of my every ache and pain with the utmost patience and support. I must have done something good in a previous life to deserve the karma I get from my team of health-care providers.

UofU Patient
September 19, 2016
Just before my appointment with Dr. Buys, a friend (most recently diagnosed w/ breast cancer) called to talk with me about Huntsman Cancer Center and Dr. Buys because she knows how pleased I am with both Huntsman and Dr. Buys! My friend is already talking with her surgeon and asking for Dr. Buys as her oncologist. And...............I met a friend in the mammogram waiting room (who is the wife of a retired Dr. in SLC) and she said "oh this is the only place to come for my annual "mamo"!

I learned more about my cancer in this "second opinion" appointment than I had in the last 3 years of going through cancer treatments. I loved the way she explained it and the pictures she drew. I am very visual, so it helped a great deal.

UofU Patient
August 06, 2016
I never felt rushed by anyone and I was given time to absorb the information I was given. They all had the utmost patience with me. I felt very safe and protected in a stressful situation.

UofU Patient
August 03, 2016
I think Dr. Buys is one of the best and caring Doctors there are.

UofU Patient
August 01, 2016
Dr Buys area of expertise includes my particular situation with the BRCA 2 gene & breast cancer - I feel there is no one better

UofU Patient

UofU Patient
April 09, 2016
I feel fortunate to have Dr. Buys as my oncologist. She has been incredibly kind, reassuring, and professional. Her expertise in the area of breast cancer has been remarkable. I would (and have!) recommended her several times to other women with breast cancer. My daughter is scheduled for a diagnostic mammogram next week. If further treatment is necessary, without question we will contact Dr. Buys.

UofU Patient
April 06, 2016
Dr Buys was wonderful. she explained everything so all members of our family understood, she Ripon her time with us and had a wonderful bedside manner.

Dr. Buys always takes time to explain things. She is also sensitive to all of the people present and was able to sense that my daughter needed a bit of extra support when we were discussing difficult issues about her mother (me).

UofU Patient
April 05, 2016
Chantele and Dr Buys made me feel very comfortable. I have complete confidence in their care.

UofU Patient
April 05, 2016
Dr. Buys is an extraordinary human being as well as a fine Doctor.

UofU Patient
March 29, 2016
Dr Buys and her NPs spent quality time with us, answered all our questions and could not have been more gracious, understanding and thorough. They even got to the bottom of the missing oncotype results and began to rectify that problem. I cannot say enough good things about Dr Buys and her associates

UofU Patient
March 20, 2016
This was a very good app in every way.

UofU Patient
March 01, 2016
Excellant

UofU Patient
February 21, 2016

UofU Patient
February 12, 2016
I greatly appreciated the visuals provided in helping me understand cancer and treatments, including the hand drawn examples, PowerPoint printouts and the binder of organized information. very well done!

UofU Patient
February 09, 2016
Dr. Buys is so much more than a fantastic doctor. She truly has the empathy, compassion, kindness, and most genuine personality of most every human being I have met or known in my life. She is a gift from God and the best thing that came from getting cancer.

UofU Patient
February 08, 2016
I was on a follow up from an initial diagnosis almost 3 years ago. I learned more about my type of cancer from Dr. Buys than I had learned from the 3 doctors I met with during my 9 months of treatments for stage 3 breast cancer. The explanations/education was very informative and helpful.

UofU Patient
January 25, 2016
All highest score, best cre, explanations and concern

UofU Patient
January 18, 2016
Very excellant service and care

UofU Patient
January 16, 2016
Saundra s the best! I didn't mind that she was running very late because I will never forget the amount of time she spent with me, while I am sure others were waiting, when I was being diagnosed and treated for breast cancer.

UofU Patient
January 16, 2016
Absolutely positive experience, felt like I was recieving the best care available.

UofU Patient
January 16, 2016
Every time I work with Dr. Buys, I am more impressed with her ability to help patients with the complexity of the disease and the difficult decisions that must be made. She has respectfully included me and my whole family in the decision making process and leaves us feeling empowered and cared for. It would be easy for her to quickly pass through the room and say "this is what we are doing today" but she never does that. She always asks about how you are really doing. She remembers what is important to you and helps formulate a plan with this in mind.

UofU Patient
January 15, 2016
They don't come any better than Dr. Buys and her PA!!!!!

UofU Patient
January 10, 2016

Dr. Buys stayed and answered all of our questions. When we paused, she did not get up and leave. Instead she lingered a moment to be sure we really had asked all of our questions. She did not act like she was in a hurry even though she was very busy. That is a rare quality.

UofU Patient

I love my oncologist Dr. Sandra Buys!!! She takes her time to explain my condition and my choices for the cure; and also makes sure I understand everything. Trust is a must and I trust Dr. Buys! I know that she wants me to get well and she cares. I am in a situation right now having cancer for the second time... When I talk, I sometimes sound angry and argumentative, but I am angry at myself. However, Dr. Buys still is patient with me.

UofU Patient
November 18, 2015
I called on a Friday. I hadn't needed Dr. Buys for ten years. When the appointment clerk told her of my new situation, she called me at home and made special arrangements to see me Monday morning. So thankful for her attentiveness.

UofU Patient
October 27, 2015
Dr. buys continues to go out of her way to help me and my family. Things don't always turn out like you hoped but she and her staff continue to treat me and my family with compassion and are helping us to try to meet goals and landmark events. we are very grateful for the care I have received.

UofU Patient
October 20, 2015
Dr Buys had done her homework before our visit. She knew more about my condition than the doctors who have been treating me for more than six years. She was kind, attentive, professional and caring. I did not feel rushed and felt as though my case was the most important. I loved her willingness to hug and comfort me during a sobering discussion about my condition. Huntsman is very fortunate to have Dr. Buys. She is a gifted practitioner. She gave me peace and the courage to fight this challenging battle.

September 02, 2015
Dr. Buys is amazing. I have never had a provider spend so much time with me patiently explaining and reexplaining when necessary. The appointment was long, and she did not act like she was even thinking about leaving until she was confident that our questions were answered and we understood our options. She was very compassionate not only to me but also to my husband asking him how he was doing (which never happens) and giving him a hug before we left.

UofU Patient
August 24, 2015
Dr. Buys took a lot of time with us, explaining our options and going over our concerns. Every time I have an appointment with her, she and her staff treat my husband and me as if we are the only ones that are in the office that day. Amazing, when I know they see many, many patients and they have such a full schedule!!

I've been treated for breast cancer for 6 months now and have been studying extensively about this. Dr Buys spoke to me as if this was the first time I was learning about cancer. I would prefer if she assessed my understanding and built on that. It felt like a waste of time.

UofU Patient
May 12, 2015
I just switched to Huntsman a little over a year ago as my previous oncologist (20 years) retired from his practice in Houston. I felt I got a much more thorough check-up with him as he also ran cancer specific blood tests, and none are ordered at Huntsman. I realize this may be giving me just a false sense of security, but it made me feel as if they were looking harder for anything amiss. At this visit, I simply had a breast exam and mammogram and, frankly, felt that could have been done just as easily by my local family physician.

UofU Patient
April 29, 2015
Dr. Buys gave me thrilling news--that I do not have to continue to see her regularly, and she hugged me. I appreciate that.

UofU Patient

I have been seeing Dr. Buys since breast cancer diagnosis in 2005. She is a superb physician; she has experience and expertise to treat the cancer, and the heart and compassion to care for the patient, (me). Huntsman is indeed fortunate to have this physician on its staff.

UofU Patient
November 24, 2014
Only someone who knows that I value my cat's comfort and health more than my own: but I sure wish my veterinarian were half as good as Dr. Buys and her colleagues at Huntsman in explanations and sharing information. I'd have a lot more confidence in the vet's decisions then!

UofU Patient
November 11, 2014
I enjoy my visits with my doctor, and I realize there are many more patience in the office besides me. I work extra hard to cover my questions as quickly as possible, and to leave as soon as possible with out feeling like I'm being rushed through, or hurt because I could talk all day with her. I was glad to be able to return to work that afternoon, instead of taking half a day of PTO.

UofU Patient
November 05, 2014
I recommend Dr Sandra Buys and the Huntsman Cancer Center at University of Utah to anyone I know who is dealing with breast cancer.

UofU Patient
November 03, 2014
Dr. Buys is pleasant and informative. She includes me in the decision making process.

UofU Patient
October 30, 2014
Dr. Buys is the best! I had some concerns about medication during a planned extended travel, and Dr. Buys was quick to address them. It was apparent that she had reviewed my file because she asked me relevant questions that followed up from my last appointment. Dr. Buys also explained my case with her trainee during this meeting, which made me feel important and well cared for.

UofU Patient
October 28, 2014
Anyone coming to Huntsman on a regular basis is facing something not very pleasant, but despite that, I always look forward to my visit with Dr. Buys.

UofU Patient
October 01, 2014
I have the utmost confidence in Dr. Buys. I believe she is the best at what she does. She always listens and gives the best possible answers. She makes an effort to discuss whatever is bothering me at the time even if it is not directly related to breast cancer. I couldn't ask for anything more in a physician.

UofU Patient
September 29, 2014
I wish I didn't have cancer, but since I do, there's no one I trust more to care for me than Dr. Buys.

Dr. S. Buys called us the night before the actual appointment with her telling us about some of the report information.. It helped to relieve our anxiety a great deal.

Dr. Buys always shows that she cares and monitors my cancer very closely. I feel reassured by scheduling to see her every 3 months. I feel confident being in her care.

UofU Patient
July 21, 2014
Dr. Buys takes plenty of time with each appointment and never gives the feeling of being rushed.

UofU Patient
July 20, 2014
Dr. was running behind and normally I do not feel rushed, but this time I felt a little confused after she left. I do trust and appreciate her, but I hate feeling rushed through after I have driven 350 miles for the visit and want to feel like my questions are answered.

UofU Patient

UofU Patient
July 16, 2014
Dr. Buys is a phenomenal physician. Her personal connection to me as a patient means so much. I truly have never had a provider with her qualities and expertise. She is one of a kind!

UofU Patient
July 07, 2014
Listen to me!!! Allow me to make my decisions. DO NOT push me through before I am prepared emotionally. I have needs that need to be taken care of before I start treatment. I still have to schedule things for work, kids & home before I was pushed & rushed into all this. Just listen. This is NOT an easy situation. I am NOT happy.

UofU Patient
July 05, 2014
As you all know, Dr. Buys is amazing! Her "Breast Cancer 101" handout and her clarity in explaining each step to me was extremely helpful. I studied much of it on my own when I received my initial diagnosis; but her tutorial helped all the facts fall into place. My husband and I appreciated all the time she took with us.....explaining, examining, discussing my genetic family tree, and helping us understand future decisions and procedures. As a patient, I appreciated her sitting at my level on the stool, sitting knee-to-knee, eye-to-eye. Three cheers for a gracious, brilliant, approachable doctor!

UofU Patient
July 05, 2014
Dr. Buys is quite simply remarkable in her expertise, the care she provides, and the concern she has for her patients. I feel very fortunate to have her as my oncologist.

Dr. Buys is one in a bazillion. There isn't a better oncologist out there--and believe me, I've looked (only when she forced me to get other opinions!)

UofU Patient
July 01, 2014
I'm so thankful for Dr. Buys. I am 4 years past my cancer operation so I'm on the downhill slide of the magic 5 year mark. I have all the confidence in the world if (knock on wood) cancer ever comes back, Dr. Buys will take care of me.

UofU Patient
June 25, 2014

UofU Patient
May 13, 2014
There isn't a better physician IN THE WORLD than Dr. Buys. Besides being a genius, she is hilarious, compassionate and always knows the "right" things to say and do. I am the luckiest person alive, because she has been my oncologist for 22 years and has saved my life innumerable times. I was able to see my children graduate from college and earn master's degrees. I was able to attend the birth of my first (second, third, fourth and soon, fifth) grandchild. I was able to help my husband die peacefully from Lou Gehrig's Disease, and guess who was there to help me and my five children, Dr. Buys. She is the kind of person who comes along, if you're super lucky, once in a lifetime. My greatest honor and privilege is being her patient. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that I would have died 22 years ago had it not been for Dr. Buys. There aren't adequate words to express my gratitude. There's really no way to describe your hero. She is loved by everyone. She has made such a difference in the world.

Are you kidding? There's NO ONE on earth like Dr. Buys. She is my hero. She has saved my life countless times. I was about to see each of my five children graduate from college and graduate study. I've been at the birth of my four grandchildren. Dr. Buys is one of those extremely rare individuals who, if you are lucky enough, you meet once in a lifetime. I am here only because of her. She is my hero.

UofU Patient

Very impressed with the doctors.

UofU Patient
January 31, 2014
I was perplexed as to why he was confused with my visit. Originally he thought I had a lump biopsied because I was worried about the lump, but that wasn't the case. I had the breast biopsy because I am participating in the Vitamin D study with Dr. Buys. There was ALOT of confusion in the clinic, so that made my appointment last longer than it needed to.

UofU Patient
January 28, 2014
she was a very kind and informative person

UofU Patient
January 25, 2014
Dr Buys was very thorough in explaining my issues and the recommended solution. She made me feel like more than just a number.

She is one of a kind and has forever make a difference in my life, both professionally and personally. Dr. Buys surrounds herself with high quality people around her.

UofU Patient
August 05, 2013

Sandra Buys is a special person whom we love and admire. We owe her much and we have recommended her to a number of friends, all of whom have had the same experience that we had. No one could be better.

UofU Patient

UofU Patient

coming into Huntsman from another excellent organization, we were impressed how throughly the records had been reviewed.

UofU Patient
June 04, 2013
Dr. Buys is wonderful. She makes you feel like you are her only patient of the day. She is always genuinely concerned.

UofU Patient
May 20, 2013
Like I said previously, I feel absolutely cared for and taken care of. I have I have lived with a bleak outlook for my future health. I had some information early on in this last cancer drama that I have lived with and thought about for the past 3 years. Both Dr. Buys and Dr. Colonna explained my situation thoroughly, honestly, and completely. I don't have a bleak future after all. I feel like the Eyeore cloud that has been over my head has lifted. I have a good future, I have a (hopefully) long life ahead and I am still doing mental cartwheels. Thank you!

UofU Patient
May 20, 2013
Dr. Buys is the best. I so much appreciate how she has taken care of me, how she interacts with me, her knowledge and expertise, the way she helped for provided the help to get me through a dark time. She is empathetic, sympathetic and a wonderful person. God bless her for her service to her patients.

UofU Patient

Dr. Buys helped very greatly to assuage my anxieties

UofU Patient
May 07, 2013
Dr Buys is an outstanding doctor. She is caring, articulate, and extremely knowledgeable. She has my greatest respect and appreciation for the way she has taken the time to heal me from cancer. I cannot thank her enough.

UofU Patient
April 29, 2013
Dr. Buys is wonderful. She explains what is going on. She cares. She takes the time to talk with me. She puts me at ease. She is empathetic to the family situation with my other two sisters.

UofU Patient
April 29, 2013
Dr. Buys is outstanding for her caring and compassion. she is very thorough and sincerely wants a better life for her patients.

UofU Patient
April 25, 2013
Dr. Buys was straightforward, honest, and most pleasant in her explanations. I would most certainly recommend her to any patient.

UofU Patient
April 23, 2013
I feel so comfortable when I'm at my appointments. Everyone gives me 100% attention and concern with my health and mental care. I couldn't ask for any better health care.

UofU Patient
April 23, 2013
Of course, I can't say enough about Dr. Buys. She's amazing. She's everything you want in a doctor: Kind, funny, sweet, caring... She's just so, so friendly and caring. Love her!!

UofU Patient
April 22, 2013
Dr. Buys is always so nice. She not only cares about my health but also about what is going on in my personal life.

UofU Patient
April 22, 2013
Dr. Buys took extra time to actually diagram out a complicated process for me. I am a visualy learner so this really helped me to understand. She also demonstrated great compassion towards me when I explained some of my anxieties. She didn't treat me like just another patient.

UofU Patient
April 10, 2013
Excellent care.

UofU Patient
April 08, 2013
Chanteel & Dr. Buys couldn't be better. I feel blessed to have them on my side.

UofU Patient
April 08, 2013
very good is the highest mark on the survey - I really felt the service was outstanding and very comforting

UofU Patient
April 05, 2013
When my sisters were moving me up here from Texas, they called people that had worked with or been patients at Huntsman and asked who we should see. Everyone who responded said Dr. Buys, so I thought I probably wouldn't be able to get an appt., I don't know if I just got lucky but I had an appt on the week I got here. If anyone asked me who to see I would tell them Dr. Buys, she's awesome.

UofU Patient
April 01, 2013
No problems

UofU Patient
April 01, 2013
I don't know which one was the care provider

UofU Patient
March 26, 2013
Love Dr. Buys

UofU Patient
March 25, 2013
Dr.Buys is caring, compassionate and wise. I have been battling stage IV breast cancer for 4.5 years, and she goes above and beyond EVERYTIME I meet with her. When there is a difficult decision to make regarding treatment, she is always patient, and gives a full, easy to understand descripion of the options. I have asked her "how long do I have to live"? Dr. Buys always answers honestly and compassionately. If I could nominate her for Person of The Year and she could be on the cover of Time Magazine, I would.

UofU Patient
March 20, 2013
I always feel as though I'm the only patient being seen. I never feel rushed- the doctor and med students are very good at gauging their flow of conversation to mine. If I'm no nonsense and want to get in and out, that's what they accomplish. If I need time to talk, they talk.

UofU Patient
March 11, 2013
Absolutely outstanding.

UofU Patient
March 11, 2013
I was impressed with the time spent explaining my type of cancer.

UofU Patient
March 11, 2013
I am always comfortable with Dr. Buys but on this visit I did not feel comfortable with the medical intern working with her. I did not feel the warmth from her like I have with other doctors in training and did not feel she really listened to me. Not a good experience with her.

UofU Patient
March 10, 2013
All good

UofU Patient
March 05, 2013
It is always nice to meet with Dr. Buys and her staff. She is always in a great mood that spills over onto the other staff members and also to me. She is always interested in ME and what is going on in my life. I just lover her and everyone there....

UofU Patient
March 04, 2013
Dr. Buys is awesome. I have recommended her to friends. She is never too busy to "read between the lines" and find out how I am doing as a person with my family concerns as well as my health issues. She is not afraid to give a much needed hug and show concern. She is not the norm for a Dr. now days.

UofU Patient
March 04, 2013
Dr Buys is always amazing! I LOVE her dearly and have for over five years now. She is so kind and understanding and informative and thorough. I always look forward to seeing her no matter what issue I have to see her about. She makes me feel cared for and special.

UofU Patient
February 27, 2013
I am grateful to have Dr Buys for my doctor and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of care.

UofU Patient
February 26, 2013

UofU Patient
February 19, 2013
Really liked the PA. Dr Buys is wonderful. She even took the time to talk to me about the actions my daughter should be taking. She made a recommendation for a Dr for my daughter.

UofU Patient
February 04, 2013
Dr. Buys is an exceptional physician. Her personal manner is concerned and engaging while her medical expertise is always very evident. She is direct without being abrupt, explains things thoroughly, provides opportunities for me to ask questions or receive clarifications.

UofU Patient

I have utmost confidence in Dr. Buys and enjoy her visit.

UofU Patient

Saundra Buys and her staff where incredible. Very informational and explained everything. Couldn't be better.

UofU Patient
January 28, 2013
Part of a good diagnosis is as good as the patient's describing the problem. I appreciate Doctor Buys patience and willingness to listen.

UofU Patient
January 22, 2013

UofU Patient

Dr. Buys, Lisa Gauchay, and Emily Ostrander are angels.

UofU Patient

UofU Patient

Dr. Buys is the best doctor ever.

UofU Patient
January 01, 2013
Couldn't ask for a better Dr./patient relationship. I totally trust and admire Dr. Buys professional opinions and treatments. In my opinion, it's Dr.'s like Dr. Buys and their teams that give the Huntsman Cancer Institute the great reputation that it has become.

UofU Patient
December 10, 2012
Dr. Buys and her fellow receive an A+ from me. I left their clinic feeling totally satisfied with the explanations that were provided and with our joint decision regarding further care. Huntsman is lucky to have such excellent and professional staff. My overall experience through the entire process has been more than favorable. I will have a long life, but there are many who are much worse off than I, and I am sure they all receive the same excellent care.

UofU Patient
December 03, 2012
Dr. Buys is absolutely excellent and I would highly recommend her to others. I met her NP (after meeting her a year ago) and she seemed nice and was informative too.

UofU Patient
November 28, 2012
at the Huntsman Cancer Center I felt like I belonged and not just a number.

UofU Patient

UofU Patient
November 20, 2012
I continue to love Dr. Buys support of my holistic approach to my health. It's been almost two years and I continue to feel so much healthier and stronger every day.

UofU Patient
November 12, 2012
Dr. Buys is a wonderful physician.

UofU Patient
November 12, 2012
Dr. Buys treated me like I was the only patient in the clinic. She is patient and totally involved. Maybe that approach is why my 9:10 a.m. appt was 45 minutes late. I would gladly wait to have that one-on-one time with her.

UofU Patient
October 31, 2012
I have been a patient of Dr. Buys for nearly 7 years (I am age 67) and I have never known or been treated by a doctor as competent and compassionate as Dr. Buys. She listens to every complaint or question and takes the time to respond and is so very kind. No matter what the problem might be at the time, you can't help walking out of the examination room without a smile on your face. She is the best of the best!

UofU Patient
October 30, 2012
I'm not typical patient and am not ill...so my comments will always be good

UofU Patient
October 29, 2012
The clarity of Dr. Buys' explanations of my current status and of the options now available to me was unprecedented. I greatly appreciated all the time she spent with me and the hard copy materials I was given so that I could review all the information when I got home.

UofU Patient
October 24, 2012
Saundra is so warm and comforting - a welcome relief in the scary world of cancer

UofU Patient
October 23, 2012
"5" is not a big enough number to award Dr Buys. She goes far beyond the care and attention most doctors provide. She cares about the individual and goes well beyond the norm to listen, and to educate her patient. She also called me at 9 at night on a Friday to discuss a concern I had, and never made me feel out of place for invading her personal time with my issues. She is such a dedicated doctor and I am so lucky to have found her.

UofU Patient
October 23, 2012
I was most impressed with every person on the staff that I came in contact with. Have never had such a good experience with any other medical office.

UofU Patient
October 23, 2012
outstanding

UofU Patient
October 22, 2012

UofU Patient

The one-on-one experiences are the best part!!! I always leave feeling lighter, happier, and more connected than when I arrived.

UofU Patient

Superb care from Dr. Buys and all her staff.

UofU Patient
October 16, 2012
I feel that adequate time was spent with me. Alot of questions were asked, adequate information was gathered.

UofU Patient
October 16, 2012
Oh my gosh... Dr. Buys couldn't have been any kinder. She is awesome and I feel so blessed that she's my personal oncologist. I'd heard amazing things about her prior to actually meeting with her, and now I understand why she has the amazing reputation that she does. She and her 2 nurses who saw me were so, so kind and so sweet and just really made me feel like they wanted to help take care of my health. Each of them even gave me a hug at the end of my visit. I'll always remember that. They were all just so, so sweet.

UofU Patient

UofU Patient

UofU Patient
August 06, 2012
I loved Dr. Buys and the other doctor and nurse. I loved all of them. Dr. Buys sat down, listened to my concerns, and then wrote down her plan of action. Dr. Buys spoke directly to me and then gave me a hug. She patted my knee continuously and reassured me that everything would be fine.

UofU Patient
August 06, 2012
Dr. Buys and Chanteel do such a great job of discussing everything with me and its obvious they truly care about me.

UofU Patient

UofU Patient
July 24, 2012
I have a lot of trust in my care provider, in her background knowledge and skills. I am confident I am being taken very good care of. I would easily recommend her and her staff to others facing my situation and worst.

UofU Patient
July 23, 2012
I usually bring a list of questions. The doctors read through that and made sure all my questions were answered.

UofU Patient
July 15, 2012
The care has always been very good.

UofU Patient
July 13, 2012
Dr. Buys is always knowledgable and compassionate. I have the utmost confidence in her.

UofU Patient
July 12, 2012
Dr. Buys is the most caring, loving, and conscientious doctor I have ever known. As her patient, I know I will get the best care there is to be given!

UofU Patient
July 05, 2012
Dr. Buys is the best ever!

UofU Patient
July 02, 2012
Dr. Buys inspires the most confidence of any physician I know. I felt sure that her recommendations for my care five years ago were appropriate and when she recently released me after I completed 5 years on Arimidex, I feel confident that I'm in a very go

UofU Patient
July 02, 2012
I was amazed at the time spent with me. The care and and compassion were wonderful.

UofU Patient
June 26, 2012
Dr. Buys is awesome.

UofU Patient
June 05, 2012
I had many concerns and questions and Dr. Buys spent a lot of time with me. I know some of the questions I have asked before, but Dr. Buys is always patient and willing to spend time to talk to me. This was the first time in a long time that Dr. Buys was not accompanied by a handful of resident/interns/visiting doctors and it was quite nice just to spend time with her alone.

UofU Patient
June 04, 2012
Huntsman has a great staff of care providers, I love everyone of them.

UofU Patient
May 18, 2012
I was so impressed by Dr. Buys. She clearly had extensive experience with my particular (and not common) condition. Additionally, her friendliness and compassion were sincere and apparent.

UofU Patient
May 18, 2012
Dr. Buys took the time to write down notes for me as she explained my cancer, my options, and treatment. I have referred to them many times since the visit to help clarify any questions I have had. I was very impressed with the amount of time she spent with me and the direct phone calls she made to my mastectomy surgeons and radiologist. I was grateful to know that there were no missing links or disconnects with my cancer diagnosis and treatment, we were all on the same page. She obtained my medical reports and OncoType test to help her to make a personalized recommendation of treatment for me.

UofU Patient
May 16, 2012
I had a concern and even though it was late in the day I was provided a sonogram requiring people to stay late. It was very helpful to me to have the information from the test right away.

UofU Patient
May 16, 2012
very good

UofU Patient
May 12, 2012
Dr. Buys is by far, the most thorough and kind doctor I have ever seen...and I have seen quite a few.

UofU Patient
May 12, 2012
I have already recommended several people to Dr. Buys. She treats you like a person,not just another patient that she has to see. She is top rate.

UofU Patient
May 12, 2012
I like Dr. Buys a lot. I am happy to her as my oncologist.

UofU Patient

I love Dr. Buys!

UofU Patient
May 09, 2012
I appreciate Dr. Buys empathy

UofU Patient
May 09, 2012
Dr. Buys is the best. If there was a better than very good, she would definitely be off this chart!

UofU Patient
May 04, 2012
I really like Dr. Buys but I did get the feeling she thought I was "pressing on the lump and making it inflamed" when in fact I had not. I only felt it 3 times in 2 weeks as I was in "denial mode." I only felt it enough to verify it was there. I think having a diagnosis of anxiety causes providers to treat me as if I am an overly anxious person when in fact it is well controlled.

UofU Patient
April 28, 2012
My caregivers have always been pleasant and never in a hurry, I love the hugs I receive from many of the staff.

UofU Patient
April 21, 2012
I wished I would have been notified of her concern when my blood test and ct scans concerned her earlier than this visit. Maybe we could have changed my medication earlier.

UofU Patient
April 14, 2012
Dr. Buys' willingness to work with me on my wellness plan and concern over medication side effects has made all the difference in my health. I've been scared about taking Tamoxifen and, while it's still something I know is available, it has been huge incentive to address my overall health. The outcome has been not only improved health for me overall, but I've been an inspiration to others who are in my age group looking to prevent future health problems. A million thank you's to Dr. Buys!!

UofU Patient
April 13, 2012
We were very impressed with Dr. Buys, and are feeling very comfortable about working with her. She was thorough, invested in making the best possible decisions for my care, and very easy to talk to. And, the hug she gave me at the end of the appointment meant a lot!!

UofU Patient
April 11, 2012
I think Dr. Buys is the best.

UofU Patient
January 04, 2012
Dr. Buys is the best! She takes time to listen, is concerned and caring about you and your health, and that makes all the difference! I've never seen another doctor show as much compassion as she does. And I have so much confidence in her knowledge and experience. She is wonderful!

UofU Patient
January 04, 2012
Overall experience that day was frustrating. I wish I could get more information. May inquire about additional opinions.
