UofU Patient December 23, 2014Very nice
UofU Patient December 05, 2014very good
UofU Patient December 01, 2014Britta is awesome! It always feels like she really cares about the whole me as well as the sleep apnea specifically! I have recommended her to several people already and would jump to any chance to do so.
UofU Patient November 26, 2014very friendly staff.
UofU Patient October 25, 2014The provider is knowledgable and caring, but a good portion of this visit was spent reviewing information that had already been provided previously rather than addressing new concerns since my last visit.
UofU Patient October 20, 2014Britta is very very good. Great professional expertise.
UofU Patient October 19, 2014good
UofU Patient October 14, 2014I'm very pleased w/ the care given at the SJHC. Good professional, and friendly staff.
UofU Patient October 13, 2014good
UofU Patient October 12, 2014all good
UofU Patient October 11, 2014i'll tell others about your care provider, but also will tell them how long it took to get an appointment.
UofU Patient September 11, 2014Britta is exceptional in her field. She really knows her stuff and is very empathetic to her patients. I only wish there were 2 or her.
UofU Patient September 08, 2014The PA who provided care for me, Britta Schaer, PA, was amazing. She took enough time to answer my questions and concerns. She even talked me into using my inhaler and taught me about the spacer. I have since started using it without any of the side effects which kept me from using the inhaler. She spent time with me and did not seem to be rushed to get to her next patient.
UofU Patient August 28, 2014I have been using a CPAP for 10 years, and never in that time has anyone explained or gone over the equipment and test results as your staff has. Thank you for helping better understand the equipments and ways to help me obtain better results by using it.
UofU Patient August 17, 2014Both Britta and Thylie (sp? my apologies - I don't have this spelling with me) were both EXCEPTIONALLY friendly, caring, knowledgeable, helpful, accessible, and took care of all the concerns or needs I had. I left the office feeling so grateful for them treating me like I really mattered!!! and there was hope that my health can be better. It was so appreciated!!!! I have not had numerous medical issues in my life but this past year there has been a bit of a flood. Such occasions can be disconcerting and a bit frightening - so having such good, caring medical resources makes all the difference!!! Thank you both so very much!!!
UofU Patient August 04, 2014excellent experience
UofU Patient July 14, 2014Britta Schaer is sensational. She thoroughly answered questions, was a fountain of knowledge, and couldnâ¿¿t have been more caring and professional.
UofU Patient June 23, 2014A good experience overall.I am looking forward to further reviews of the tests and identifying a CPAP machine and mask that I can start using at night.
UofU Patient June 12, 2014It was a valued, appreciated experience. The people I worked with were exceptional! I left feeling very confident that the care and services I would receive from the Sleep Center with be great!
UofU Patient May 23, 2014I loved Britta she is very personable. I enjoyed our visit, she showed concern and I felt like I knew her forever after the visit. I would refer anyone to her. Thank you Britta!
UofU Patient May 12, 2014Britta was so friendly and very understanding. I would recommend her to anyone. I felt so comfortable talking with her.
UofU Patient May 11, 2014I enjoyed my experience with Britta. She is very knowledgeable about sleep disorders, very personable, and asked me what I wanted to get out of the experience, which I appreciated.
UofU Patient April 01, 2014The purpose of this appointment was to review some questions I had about available treatment options for my sleep apnea. I recently completed a sleep study, was given my results and the CPAP recommendation by phone. However, when I followed up with the clinic's CPAP coordinator, an alternative treatment seemed to be presented as an alternative (positional training). When I called the provider to inquire about the feasibility of this alternative to CPAP, it was recommended that I return to clinic to discuss the options. Though my questions were addressed adequately, the overall tone of the conversation struck me as annoyed that I was questioning the initial recommendation.
UofU Patient February 23, 2014I have good provider in sleep center .
UofU Patient February 10, 2014Britta is outstanding.
UofU Patient February 03, 2014Britta was very understanding concerning the embarrassing situation and would follow up in resolving such conflicts in the future!
UofU Patient October 15, 2013My Provider was excellent. One of the best I have had in a while.
UofU Patient October 14, 2013She was very efficent and knowledgeable but went through everything as if from memory and not as she was addressing me, hearing it all for the first time.
UofU Patient September 24, 2013I love Britta very much & do not want to change to a different clinic no matter how close another clinic may be. When she leaves, then I will consider changing my clinic. She is so personable with me & shows great concern about me & my health problem. Thank you, so much Britta for your care & concern.
UofU Patient September 03, 2013Last time she bascially did a psych eval on me as well. im not seeing her for anything other than my sleep. i didn't appreciate psych eval, and lost desire to work w/ her.
UofU Patient September 02, 2013Highly qualified, knowledgeable, thorough, caring.
UofU Patient July 05, 2013Again, wonderful experience with Britta and first visit to clinic, not so good with follow-up.
UofU Patient June 24, 2013My interactions with Ms. Schaer were very pleasant. She maintained an excellent professional decorum while clearly explaining possible diagnoses and treatment options based upon my initial symptoms. She also took time to address my questions and concerns. In summation, it was an ideal patient-provider interaction from this patient's point of view.
UofU Patient May 23, 2013Britta was ready to see me before the MA had finished. She was very pleasant, was concerned about my concerns and I was glad to hear her recommendation for continued follow-up.
UofU Patient May 14, 2013all wen't very well
UofU Patient April 25, 2013Britta is one of the best! Her degree of professionalism and congeniality are exemplary and inspire my complete confidence in her abilities.
UofU Patient March 26, 2013The experience was good overall. It would have been good to have more explanation and counceling regarding the use of narcotics. I would have liked to know more about dealing with them, not becomming dependent on them and what are the best ways to use them to make them most effective.
UofU Patient March 18, 2013My entire visit at the Sleep Wake Center was wonderful. But I would think twice about referring anyone or going through it again b/c of the wait time from scheduling of the appointment to the actual appointment.
UofU Patient February 04, 2013Britta was very professional, obviously knew her trade, and was very friendly and easy to work with
