Jackie Lunt was the PA and she was excellent - very thorough and kind and courteous while being concise and informative. She was quite wonderful. Dr. Jack, as always, was exceptional - and very patient with me - a somewhat reluctant and uninformed patient.
UofU Patient
May 17, 2016
I am incredibly fortunate to have Dr. Jack as my cardiologist. Here are just a few of the many things that I love about Dr. Jack. I never feel rushed when I am meeting with him. He is such a quick study...he listens intently then provides thoughtful and valuable feedback. Dr. Jack thinks outside the box and provides/suggests alternative solutions to problems that may not be cardiovascular in nature. He always ends each session with a review and summary of what was discussed and the course of action on how to proceed. The U of U Hospital and Clinics is so fortunate to have someone of Dr. Jack's caliber on staff, as are his patients.
UofU Patient

Doctor was unable to follow through with commitment to provide warfarin home monitoring equipment. Doctor stressed the importance for me to see my Cardiologist, Dr. Renner ASAP then instructed his staff to get an appointment set for me. After waiting one week with no response from Cardiology I got the appointment set through my PCP.

The combination of this PA/Doctor team is without comparison. A survey cannot begin to explain my appreciation for, and confidence in this level of care and caring. True professionals in whom you need to have great pride and respect!
UofU Patient

I learned that I have a serous heart condition and was in shock. So I could not think of any questions. A little more explaining would have been very helpful. I phoned the next day to ask questions.
UofU Patient

UofU Patient
September 13, 2015
I have the utmost confidence in Dr. Jack's ability to oversee my care. He is incredibly knowledgable and he explains things in ways that are easy to understand. I have never once felt rushed during an appointment with him. I wish I could clone him and send his clone back East to care for my dad, who desperately needs the kind of cardiac care that Dr. Jack provides.
UofU Patient
September 10, 2015

UofU Patient

UofU Patient
May 10, 2015
I couldn't ask for a better doctor to oversee my cardiac needs than Dr. Jack. He is an excellent listener, and a quick study. It is not unusual for him to ask questions about medications I am on that have been prescribed by other physicians in other specialty areas to make sure they don't have negative implications on my condition for which he is treating me. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dr. Jack to others.
UofU Patient
March 02, 2015
Couldn't of been treated better.
UofU Patient
March 01, 2015
I have been pleased with Dr. Jack and have already recommended him to other people. His strengths are his careful, thoughtful, and easy-to-understand explanations and comments on my health condition. He is kind and seems to have all the time in the world to spend with me.

I always feel like Dr. Jack treats me as a participant in my own care. He listens, he explains⿦ and he seems to anticipate some of my questions.
UofU Patient
June 02, 2014
Dr. Jack is always a good listener, easy to talk to, and makes sure I understand what I need to know about my medical problems.
UofU Patient
May 31, 2014
As a physician I was very impressed with Dr. Morshedzadeh's broad knowledge, general acumen, sharp focus on my issues, and plan for going forward. I previously dropped using the CV service at the U because I was disappointed in how I was treated and what I considered inadequate medical management. I just returned because I heard that I would feed differently with Dr. Morshedzadeh, and that indeed proved to be the case. I am very glad that I came back to the U as his patient.
UofU Patient
May 03, 2014
Dr Jack was excellent to talk with.

UofU Patient

Dr. Jack deserves a 10+ when it comes to the confidence I have in him. A rating of 5 doesn't do him justice. He loves a good challenge and he meets it head on.
UofU Patient
April 18, 2014
Dr.Jack carefully explained my diagnosis and answered my questions. He told me how my medicine works.this helped a lot so i could have confidence in my treatment plan.

UofU Patient
March 27, 2014
Both NP and Cardiologist were engaged and reassuring
UofU Patient
March 21, 2014
The doctor wants me to try a new medication to regulate my heart beats. At the time, he didn't make it clear to me that he thought the problem might be due to another med. that I have to take for another condition I have. I called the clinic and discussed this with his PA, now I know what he's trying to correct.
UofU Patient
January 16, 2014
Dr. Jack is an amazing Cardiollogyst. He always comes in and explains everything very clearly. He involves his patients in making all decisions. I would highly recommend him. He is very knowledgeable.
UofU Patient
December 22, 2013
I am very skeptical about working with this provider. His PA seems to care about me more.
UofU Patient
December 16, 2013
Julie Savage stayed with me - even after the clinic had closed on a Friday evening - to make certain I got the medications that were prescribed. She even went to the pharmacy with me and gave me her cell number in case I had any questions or concerns. This is amazing to me. She explained everything to me, included me in decisions about my care and was THERE for me. She is remarkable and an outstanding member of the cardiology team.
UofU Patient
December 08, 2013
I have complete confidence in all who take care of me in this facility.
UofU Patient
October 21, 2013
I was very fortunate to get Dr. Jack as my cardiologist after my previous cardiologist passed away. Dr. Jack is incredibly knowledgable and a real problem solver. He asks lots of questions to make sure he understands what I am dealing with and so that his treatment plan is appropriate for my situation.
