UofU Patient December 15, 2014
I was extremely impressed with everyone I interacted with...every person was on thier "A" game. I felt like a V.I.P.!
UofU Patient December 13, 2014Dr Pettey is very good, I appreciate the care and respect he shows for his patients.
UofU Patient December 09, 2014Dr. Petty is a very friendly and caring person.
UofU Patient December 07, 2014Dr Pettey was awesome and read my tests before I got in my car to leave the Moran
UofU Patient November 29, 2014My fault, I guess, for not asking about the problem I came in for, which was cataracts. He was very friendly, and gave me good advice. I thought he seemed a bit hurried, but since I had waited 90 minutes to see him, I'm sure he was running way behind on others, too.
UofU Patient November 24, 2014This was my first visit with this doctor, so I don't feel I have enough information to give a recommendation to others at this time. This was a vision check-up with no real problems to address, and overall I was quite satisfied with the experience.
UofU Patient November 18, 2014good
UofU Patient November 15, 2014Dr Pettey is an excellent doctor. Makes you feel very comfortable and I have confidence in him. Comfortable and confidence key words.
UofU Patient November 02, 2014Dr. Pettey was very personable and most importantly he was very through with checking my eyes. He kindly explained the importance of me following up in 6 months (dilation & eye pressure). He explained without alarming me the need to get my pressure checked due to the shape of my eyes. He was patient and wasn't rushing to examine my eyes, very thorough.
UofU Patient October 31, 2014good
UofU Patient October 30, 2014very good experience
UofU Patient October 17, 2014I would recommend the Moran Eye Center to anyone with eye problems.
UofU Patient October 16, 2014Very happy with Dr Petty, as he explained many things of which I had been unaware in previous visits with other doctors.
UofU Patient September 13, 2014I was seen by dr. Choi then by dr. Petey. The exam was very thorough and they both made sure there was no serious problem. They both explained the medical terms they used so that I can understand what was going on.
UofU Patient September 12, 2014Always great experience.
UofU Patient September 01, 2014All very good.
UofU Patient August 30, 2014excellent experience
UofU Patient August 25, 2014I always have a lot of questions, sometimes probably too many, but it's because I am very worried about my eyesight. Dr. Pettey has been very patient with me and he has always answered all my questions, and he has explained all the procedures, the risks, all the medical terms.
UofU Patient August 16, 2014I was very impressed with Dr. Pettey.
UofU Patient August 14, 2014Dr Pettey is the best ¦ he is efficient, friendly, kind and instructive.!!
UofU Patient August 13, 2014Dr. Petty offered to do a laser treatment on a cataract lens that had clouded up through scar tissue after I told him how poor my night vision had become. This had been a problem since the lens was placed in my eye 8 years previously. He was the first eye doctor to suggest that he might be able to help me. (I have seen at least 10 other eye doctors about this problem). I was very nervous about the procedure because of past bad experiences, but he was very reassuring and calm and addressed every concern I had. I am so grateful that he could help me. I only wish it could have been sooner. Wouldn't it have been nice to be able to see better for the past 8 years and wouldn't it have been nice to have been able to see better before my huge vitreous detachment last year. I applaud him for his help.
UofU Patient August 12, 2014he stayed he needed to speak with my doctor Judith Warner who would be back Friday but then they schedule me out 6 weeks. I cannot drive, I cannot see well enough to drive. and I cannot work with this, but he said here are some eye drops and see you in six weeks. in the meantime what do I do for work?
UofU Patient August 09, 2014Awesome.
UofU Patient August 05, 2014Dr Pettey is excellent.
UofU Patient July 31, 2014Awesome care provider!
UofU Patient June 29, 2014Outstanding in all regards!
UofU Patient June 21, 2014I would not hesitate to recommend the Moran to anyone.
UofU Patient June 11, 2014Excellent - I can't say enough good things. Dr. Pettey is wonderful.
UofU Patient May 22, 2014He was great with my 8 year old son. Dr. Petty made him feel very comfortable, I would like my son to continue to see Dr. Petty
UofU Patient May 21, 2014very thorough visit and attention
UofU Patient May 19, 2014Dr. Pettey is absolutely awesome! I have never had a more complete experience with a physician and I can't thank him enough for his attentiveness and care. Because of Dr. Pettey, I have begun treatment for ailments I've had for about a decade.
UofU Patient May 10, 2014Every one was very nice and considerate. I had a very good experence
UofU Patient April 26, 2014I just didn't really feel that my ? was answered about the watering from my eyes especially the left one and what I might be able to do about it. other wise I was happy with the appt.
UofU Patient April 07, 2014I was very pleased with all of the medical care i received.
UofU Patient March 28, 2014Dr Pettey is the best!!! he is concerned and helpful also his staff follows his lead even the reception desk has great people to assist you with all that you need to do.
UofU Patient March 22, 2014All was positive.
UofU Patient February 15, 2014It was great to have the Nurse (who ever did the initial tests) and the Doctor be ready to accommodate me in the things "I" wanted. Also the sheet that they printed out as we left and made or next appointment was perfect. It contained my appointments, my medications and instructions which was so helpful.
UofU Patient February 08, 2014I have already suggested to those who need eye care to Dr. Pettey and his staff
UofU Patient January 07, 2014The only poor rating was because Dr. Pettey forgot to give me the prescription we discussed during my exam. It wasn't critical or urgent at the time, but I nevertheless need it.
UofU Patient December 29, 2013would have liked some written care suggestions for dry eyes
UofU Patient December 02, 2013Dr. Pettey and his resident were great. I liked them both.
UofU Patient November 25, 2013Honestly, I think Dr. Pettey has the disposition that all health care providers should have. He REALLY listens. He cares about his patient's overall health and well-being. He asks lots of questions. He doesn't "lord" his expertise over his patients. He's approachable and friendly and he does his best to make his patients feel comfortable. Compared to other providers I've dealt with, I feel Dr. Pettey actually cares.
UofU Patient November 05, 2013I appreciated him reviewing my records from a different provider.
UofU Patient October 31, 2013Dr. Bettis was training an inter from the VA & asked if it was ok for her to look 2 my eye & be there during my evaluation.
UofU Patient October 31, 2013Dr Pettey is awesome and provided me with the ability to relax as i knew i was in very good hands
UofU Patient October 28, 2013Like I stated, the staff was exceptional!!!!!
UofU Patient October 24, 2013I could tell that I was receiving the best care possible.
UofU Patient October 21, 2013Informed step by step as to what was happening. Asked if I had any ??'s or concerns. Very thoughtful. In general I don't like doctors, but he was able to easy my anxiety.
UofU Patient October 15, 2013About two years ago, I changed from a previous University of Utah physician and, after careful consideration of his background, training, and community care involvement, I chose to see Dr. Pettey. He is knowledgeable, thoughtful, and open. He provides excellent care and has great interpersonal skills. I have full confidence in his abilities and the care he has provided to me. Since most of us, including myself, are careful about the care of our eye and sight, I am pleased to have such a good physician. My thanks!
UofU Patient October 03, 2013OVERALL GOOD EXPERIENCE WITH EVERYONE
UofU Patient October 01, 2013I like my care providers (ALL of them) to talk with me when they doing things to my eyes. What are they doing? Why? What are they finding? It's my body. I really don't like having someone look at my eyes or measure them and not talk about it. When they don't talk to me I'm left feeling like an object rather than a person. This is a comment about all of health care, not just the Moran. So, please pass that along.
UofU Patient September 24, 2013I would have no problem recommending this facility or the doctors. Was treated very well.
UofU Patient September 23, 2013I had a retina exam previous for a study and that was all that I had. When I went to my old doctor during the two exams at the Moran Center he told me I had Macular Degeneration. But with the two exams at the Moran Center both times they never saw that problem. That was a huge relief. Dr. Pettey took time to look at the previous exam at the Moran Center and was able to give me a better history in which it was a huge relief! Thanks for the good news and the new prescription and the great job that you did!
UofU Patient August 29, 2013When he finally got there, the physician was professional, almost human. No gripes there, but no salutations either.
UofU Patient August 28, 2013Dr. Pettey was great. He was very thourogh and personable.
UofU Patient August 13, 2013Dr. Pettey is exceptional.
UofU Patient August 05, 2013Dr. Pettey is super and I have strongly recommended him to my friends.
UofU Patient August 04, 2013Dr. Pettey is patient, caring, and knowledgeable. Although he has many patients, he is never in a hurry. He explains things well and listens to questions.
UofU Patient July 22, 2013Dr. Petty was very good and I really appreciate his sense of humor - that really works for me.
UofU Patient June 26, 2013No real conclusions were come to about my problem. They ruled out several serious possibilities, like tumor, or eye pressure. Said my problem may be related to cataracts or dry eye. Since my visit, the recommended eye drops and heat applications haven't seemed to help.
UofU Patient June 24, 2013It was ok wish there was more they could do for my vision since that is what the problem is
UofU Patient May 28, 2013Seemed very caring and I had confidence he was being thorough, unlike previous providers. His explanations made sense, and have helped me understand and deal with my conditions.
UofU Patient May 23, 2013The staff that I encountered in my visit,Bethany, Dr.Swan and Dr. Pettey were at all times reassuring and very sympathetic to my concerns and they all gave me applicable information that I could easily understand and apply once at home
UofU Patient May 13, 2013competent and friendly doctor
UofU Patient April 19, 2013I had a very good experience during my entire time at the facility
UofU Patient April 08, 2013I have already recommended Dr. Pettey to others.
UofU Patient April 03, 2013Great experience.
UofU Patient March 25, 2013The ophthalmologist provided care on the extreme (good) end of a care spectrum, opposite of what had been provided by specialist seen previously at St. Mark's hospital. This provider addressed all issues and to depth, and demonstrated diagnostic expertise my wife had not experienced before in Utah. My thanks to Moran and University of Utah for care provided my wife.
UofU Patient March 19, 2013I felt the doctor showed genuine care which made me feel more confortable that I was in good hands.
UofU Patient March 14, 2013The physician was very helpful and informative.
UofU Patient March 04, 2013Dr Pettey was very personable. I had several questions and felt that he had ample time to answer them and not have to rush out to the next patient.
UofU Patient February 22, 2013I found the doctor and the resident completely open to discussion, and great listeners. They helped me determine the surgical options I had, and also helped me understand the choices I had for permanent replacement lenses.
UofU Patient February 20, 2013very good
UofU Patient January 31, 2013Dr. Pettey and Dr. Kinard were fantastic. They were both very thorough. Thanks!
UofU Patient January 31, 2013The care staff made sure I was very comfortable and were very personable.
UofU Patient January 15, 2013altogether a very nice visit!
UofU Patient January 03, 2013Professional - Friendly - Good
UofU Patient December 21, 2012ALL GOOD
UofU Patient December 20, 2012Overall, a world-class operation. I saw a technician, a med student, two interns and the physician. Its what I expected at a teaching hospital. A slight increase in overall visit time, but well worth it. I feel confident I'm getting the right diagnosis and treatment at the Moran center.
UofU Patient December 06, 2012Dr. Pettey was wonderful
UofU Patient December 05, 2012Dr. Pettey was amazing!
UofU Patient November 19, 2012I did not get written instructions, with specifics as to what medication was to be started first. I called in, with no response, and I went back in person to get directions. It was a critical piece of information, that was left out. I looked at My Chart, but there was nothing added for the appointment.
UofU Patient November 05, 2012I saw Dr. Bell on Sunday 10/28/12. He was excellent. He got me in quickly and diagnosed my problem. He then gave me the number to call for the continuity clinic. I saw Dr. Petty 11/01/12. He did excellent work as well.
UofU Patient November 01, 2012I had to ask questions about future course of my eye condition and its effects to get all the information I needed.
UofU Patient October 08, 2012He went the extra mile and found an otoscope so he could check my ear.
UofU Patient October 08, 2012The doctor came at the end for 10 mins. or less.
