UofU Patient December 19, 2013Dr Shihab is fantastic. He always addresses all my concerns, gives me the lab results I need and what, if anything, to do to improve them. He makes me feel like a transplant success story! Very professional and personable.
UofU Patient December 03, 2013Again, overall effective transplant team and paired-exchange coordinator. Very thorough!
UofU Patient October 25, 2013Met with Dr. Shihab and a resident. Both seemed very competent.
UofU Patient October 21, 2013I am much more comfortable now about my care provider.
UofU Patient October 07, 2013Same as before. everybody made us feel very comfortable and well looked after.

UofU Patient August 13, 2013thank you! Thank You!! THANK YOU!!!
UofU Patient August 12, 2013Everyone gave me time to ask questions and was interested in my well being.
UofU Patient July 15, 2013The transplant team was very professional and compassionate.
UofU Patient June 24, 2013The TEAM approach provided to me was very positive regarding my malady...potential transplant proceedures available to me, etc.
UofU Patient May 14, 2013I am glad I have the kidney team behind me, but n real life I would hate to have to recommend them to anyone else. Never a good sign.
UofU Patient March 11, 2013Every time I come for a check-up regarding my kidney transplant I see a new doctor. After waiting for over an hour I saw a doctor who I'd never seen before. He was very brief, he didn't take the time to answer my questions, and he didn't seem interested at all in anything pertaining to my visit or care.
UofU Patient February 18, 2013They gave me good information regarding the rejection medication that I did not know about which was very important to me. On my own medication that I am taking now I don't think she understood that I let my doctors know of any changes that I made.
UofU Patient February 18, 2013Everyone shows the utmost professionalism and treats you as if you are their only patient. They spent time with you.
UofU Patient January 21, 2013I don't feel the doctor listened to my problem.
