UofU Patient February 22, 2014
thorough, careful, excellent
UofU Patient February 13, 2014Dr. Kirely is exceptional in all areas with an open mind and I feel no qualms regarding imparting any information to her that as a Care Provided she should be privy to. which is hardly the case many of my past experiences with other "providers". She assess' the patience as an individual not just another bothersome whiner and responds accordingly with proper treatment and patient goals.
UofU Patient February 10, 2014Seemed very rushed and unable to listen to all my health issues. Forced to make another appointment to have other health issues addressed.
UofU Patient February 10, 2014Dr. Kiraly is simply awesome. I recommend her all of the time. She has the best "bed side" manner that i have ever experienced. Totally puts me at ease and makes me feel like she understands what i am telling her.
UofU Patient February 08, 2014Dr Kiraly is the epitome of what a doctor should be.
UofU Patient January 16, 2014She never seems rushed although I'm sure I took up too much of her time for the problems I needed addressed
UofU Patient January 16, 2014Dr. Kiraly is the best of the best. She is very professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate. There are few providers like her. Thank you Dr. Kiraly.
UofU Patient January 16, 2014Always a pleasure to visit my doctor. I always receive great care and attention.
UofU Patient January 09, 2014Dr. Kiraly is always upbeat, attentive, and professional. I enjoy her as a person as well as a physician.
UofU Patient January 08, 2014I really appreciated the time that Dr. Kiraly and her staff took to really listen to my health history, address my concerns, share valuable information, and treat me with care.
UofU Patient January 02, 2014Doctor, PA and nurse are all kind and serve sincerely
UofU Patient January 02, 2014We had a great experience here, other than shots and that's no fun. But the nurse sympathized with us, it's sad to see them get shots but it's better than the altenitive
UofU Patient December 19, 2013All 5's. Great 5 star treatment from the clinic and staff.
UofU Patient December 16, 2013Am recomeending Dr. Kiraly to others
UofU Patient December 14, 2013He spent extra time with my daughter to make sure she got a toy and felt a positive experience with the doctor's office.
UofU Patient December 12, 2013I would strongly recommend the Unversity Health Care!!
UofU Patient December 09, 2013Dr. Kiraly is wonderful
UofU Patient December 07, 2013I have recommended Dr Kiraly to many people she's great
UofU Patient December 02, 2013Doctor Kiraly is personable, competent and merits my confidence.
UofU Patient November 29, 2013Dr Coriz is doing a great job of helping me figure out my health issues.
UofU Patient November 18, 2013I would absolutely recommend them to any one who I know that needed to have the procedure that I had done!
UofU Patient November 18, 2013I really appreciate how Dr. Kiraly made the time to listen and fully understand my issues. Her responses were thoughtful and kind and it made me feel comfortable. I will do my best to follow her treatment suggestions. Thank you very much.
UofU Patient November 08, 2013Thank you!
UofU Patient November 04, 2013I've been seen by Dr Kiraly the first week of her practice. That's been about 12 or 13 years.
UofU Patient November 04, 2013Kiraly is the bomb-digity. In our family, we feel like she is the small town doctor, who knows our names, knows our history, and cares about our health. When talking about diagnoses, she always mentions some new study she has read, suggesting she obviously stays on top of her skill. She is amazing! Make her CEO of all things doctorly!
UofU Patient October 28, 2013I was so happy that Dr Kiraly was able to address my daughter's fever/ sore throat during my scheduled annual physical. The staff was prompt getting her checked in and Dr Kiraly was thorough with us individually and looking at our family wellness as a whole. My daughter did in fact have a strep infection and was able to get on antibiotics that night. I LOVE family medicine!
UofU Patient October 17, 2013She was very proficient at administering the vaccination.
UofU Patient October 05, 2013Again, with Dr. Kiraly I never felt rushed. I could tell the clinic was very busy that day but never felt that I needed to cut anything short because of that. When she needed to leave the room she was very clear with me the time frame and offered me the option to say that I wanted her stay and finish with me first.
UofU Patient October 02, 2013Dr. Kiraly is wonderful. I have been seeing her for years. It is so nice to have a doctor who knows me beyond what is written in my chart- as a human being with a real life. It makes my life easier to know that she knows my medical and relevant personal history and understands how what I do day to day impacts my health. Having that sort of shorthand with my doctor allows us to spend our time in clinic talking about the things that really matter. With anyone else I would have to waste time explaining my normal so they could understand why this visit is different. Dr. Kiraly and I can use that time more productively because she already knows my normal and if something is different she knows why/how it is different.
UofU Patient October 02, 2013Dr. Kiraly is the perfect combination of intelligence, experience and kindness.
UofU Patient October 01, 2013I hesitate to recommend a Dr. to anyone, because my experience and communication with my Dr. is my own and another person may not have that. I am not quiet about my confidence in my Dr.
UofU Patient October 01, 2013always very helpful and good follow-up
UofU Patient September 10, 2013I love Dr Kiraly
UofU Patient September 10, 2013Dr. Kiraly provided me the time I needed to make sure all of my concerns were met even though she was running behind. I really appreciated that.
UofU Patient September 09, 2013Although I have minimal current health issues, Dr. Kiraly spent a good amount of time reviewing my past medical history to ensure that I receive follow up for some past conditions. As a RN, I truly appreciate that Dr. Kiraly speaks to me at my level of health literacy, and involves me actively in healthcare decisions.
UofU Patient September 03, 2013I came in with a condition that I have had in the past. I asked for the remedy that has worked in the past. The doctor said I needed to wait for a week to see if it would improve on it's own. It did not. So I had to suffer for a week before getting the medicine that I needed to begin with.
UofU Patient August 21, 2013I seem to be asking the same questions over and over and not getting any answers, or getting all the way home and realizing my questions still have not been answered. They seem to get you in and out of there very quickly. Always very nice, but I always go home just as confused as when I got there.
UofU Patient August 19, 2013Although I have never heard from the physician about my lab results.
UofU Patient August 07, 2013I recommened this facility to all my friends
UofU Patient August 02, 2013dr Kiraly is the best doctor I've ever had
UofU Patient July 21, 2013Health concerns were discussed and followup measures to be taken.
UofU Patient July 09, 2013If I didn't already have a PCP who was not in the clinic on the day I called, I would choose the doctor who was able to see me. Dr. Kiraly was excellent in the professional way she answered all my questions and in taking time to consider both a range of causes, therapies, and prognoses.
UofU Patient July 05, 201310.--My experience is very good but I don't tell anyone I know "You should to see MY Doctor, she is the only one and you must see her" I have had that backfire, not because of my Dr. but my friends expectations. no more
UofU Patient July 03, 2013I have recommended Dr. Kiraly to several people. She never rushes in our appointments and I always leave feeling like I received excellent medical care.

UofU Patient April 12, 2013MY Doctor is the BEST !!!! She listens to all of my worries....
UofU Patient April 08, 2013I hesitate recommending any caregiver because my experiences with my care giver will be as different as any personalities are different. I feel like my own care givers listen and want to help me.
UofU Patient April 01, 2013I was highly impressed with the doctor and felt she was the perfect combination of personable and professional. She was extremely considerate and efficient.
UofU Patient March 29, 2013Dr. Kiraly is the best of the best. She is caring, compassionate, and informative. I always feel that she is on top of my health care needs and very thorough.

UofU Patient March 05, 2013Dr. Kiraly is a great doctor, she listens to my concerns and answers all my questions.
UofU Patient March 01, 2013WONDERFUL!!! Best experience I've had in a while with a doctor!
UofU Patient March 01, 2013Dr. Kiraly and her support staff provided the best preventative and routine medical care I have received in my 50 years on the planet. I called my companion as soon as I left the office and told her to switch her primary care physician to Dr. Kiraly. She is an amazing physician - I came on the recommendation of a friend and I now know exactly why she pushed me to choose Bernadette. Regarding item 7), I have a strong science background. I appreciated and was impressed by her ability to pitch our conversation at a level that tapped into my knowledge base. I really liked her style, start to finish.
UofU Patient February 12, 2013Dr. Kiraly is very thorough and caring.
UofU Patient February 04, 2013Thank You for caring about Me !!!!!!!
UofU Patient February 01, 2013I have had several doctors in the past few years due to moving frequently and Dr. Kiraly is by far my favorite. I would definitely recommend her!
UofU Patient January 31, 2013Dr. Kiraly was wonderful in explaining that I had the Flu and what could be done to mitigate it.
UofU Patient January 28, 2013Dr. Kiraly was less attentive than she usually is. She seemed rushed. What I thought was a fairly serious health problem, she said was minor and didn't seem to understand how much it bothered me. She isn't usually like that, so I think it was just a fluke, but still.
UofU Patient January 28, 2013Dr. Kiraly was fantastic! Very thorough and kind. She made me feel very comfortable.
UofU Patient January 21, 2013A good visit. Very pleased with Dr. Kiraly and her staff.

UofU Patient October 30, 2012I hesitate to influence anyone else on their choice of Doctor only because personalities don't always mesh as well as mine has with Dr. Kirally. Even though my daughter or daughter-in-law are with me she talks to me. She also welcomes my girls views.

UofU Patient August 02, 2012It can be difficult when a doctor does not know what is wrong. It makes me happy when a doctor will admit that they do not know and will do whatever they can do to work to find the answer.
