UofU Patient January 25, 2014Dr. Scaife, Stacy Carbine are amazing. They always so concern for me and do everything that they can for me.
UofU Patient January 13, 2014Dr. Scaife always made sure that I knew about everything that was happening and made sure I understood well enough to make informed decisions about my care.
UofU Patient December 26, 2013very pleased and thankful.
UofU Patient December 16, 2013I can't imagine more comforting people and environment to learn a not especially welcome, though not unexpected prognosis.
UofU Patient December 02, 2013I had some concerns that were bothering me about my surgery and monitoring of my illness. Dr. Scaife was very thorough in answering my questions. She alleviated many of the fears I have, and she set up a monitoring program for every six months that will help us keep track of the disease progression.
UofU Patient December 02, 2013The doctors were very knowedgeable and explained every thing to us. They answered all of our questions and were very understanding.
UofU Patient November 18, 2013This was the first visit to this doctor- I'm sure it will get better as there will be more visits- I would like to be informed of any procedure that is going to be performed while I am at the Huntsman- ie- taking biopsies etc.
UofU Patient November 04, 2013Doc did well. Made time to see me and took time with me once I was there
UofU Patient October 18, 2013I would recommend this Dr. because she is a Cancer Dr. but I would inform them be prepared to have a long wait.
UofU Patient September 25, 2013My answers say it all. Very good.
UofU Patient August 27, 2013All were great.
UofU Patient August 05, 2013She is an outstanding care provider
UofU Patient June 04, 2013Having my daughter and husband with me at these appointments was important to me, because they hear things that I don't and they ask questions that I might not think of. My daughter is a nurse and can understand a lot of things that might go right over my head.
UofU Patient May 31, 2013great information, attitudes and care
UofU Patient May 19, 2013Dr. Scaife is the best.

UofU Patient March 12, 2013Excellent care and a suprising second opinion that required a lot of conversation. Our PA and doctor took plenty of time and gave excellent explainations.
UofU Patient January 22, 2013Dr, Courtney Scaife is a wonderful doctor. She has explained things about the pancreas and my condition like no one before had. She is very efficient and very caring. I appreciate her and her medical team who care for me at the hospital during pancreatic surgery very much.
UofU Patient January 15, 2013Dr. Scaife is an excellent physican.
UofU Patient December 31, 2012Very kind an informative
UofU Patient December 19, 2012Dr. Scaife was awesome. The NP didn't answer my questions and wasn't very personable
UofU Patient December 04, 2012Put me at ease She is a very competant surgeon.
UofU Patient December 04, 2012The attention I received was excellent, but because the appointment was out of order (done before the biopsy was scheduled), I wasn't able to get questions answered or a diagnosis or any idea of prognosis. The waiting and wondering is the most difficult part of this ordeal.
UofU Patient November 19, 2012We wont be seeing the Doctor again she was great but chose to find another doctor closer to home the experience is no longer worth the drive.
UofU Patient August 11, 2012I am always satisfied with Dr. Scaife's service and that includes Stacie Carbine! :-)
UofU Patient July 17, 2012I am very impressed with Dr. Scaife. She is all anyone could hope for in a surgeon. She dosen't make you feel rushed and takes all the time necessary to explain the situation to you,so that you can understand it. She is wonderful and I feel fortunate to have her as my Dr. and Surgeon.
UofU Patient July 16, 2012good
UofU Patient May 12, 2012Perfect experience and it sure helps to find that you don't have cancer any longer. :)
UofU Patient May 12, 2012Dr Scaife was very pleasant and willing to spend time with us. We appreciated her advice. She made sure we understood the options and let us know that she is very willing to work with us if it is needed in the future.
UofU Patient May 05, 2012I did value Dr. Scaife's honesty about the time committment.
UofU Patient February 11, 2012I would recommend Dr. Scaife and her staff to anyone. They are super plus team.
UofU Patient January 28, 2012I was diagnosed with cancer three months ago and have seen 10 doctors. Every time I left a doctor's office everything was unclear and pending. Finally!!! I got answers, explanations and the care I have been looking for. When my family and I left the clinic we were all thrilled with the the best experience we have had. Dr. Scaife talked to us and explained everything in terms we could understand. She was so thorough that I felt every question I had been looking for answers to had been answered.
UofU Patient January 28, 2012helped us feel more comfortable about a not so pleasant situation
