Dr Scaife did each of these things so well.

UofU Patient
April 29, 2016
Dr Scaife was wonderful. I appreciated her telling me the diagnosis prior to showing me the proof. It lessened my anxiety.
UofU Patient
April 02, 2016
My recommendation of Dr. Scaife is based on the stomach surgery on Aug. 3, 2015, not the follow up visit. When she said I had to have visits every year for the next four, I was too startled to ask "why" as the surgery showed no sign of cancer.
UofU Patient
March 28, 2016
She made me feel at ease.
UofU Patient
March 23, 2016
Again, all who participated in my visit couldn't of been more hospitable. What a great organization you have to help people in need of your services.

amazing doctor that really does want to help
UofU Patient
August 25, 2015
My physician is excellent at what she does; however, I waited well over an hour in the exam room to be seen by her; when she finally came in, she was done with me in less than 10 minutes; I was annoyed and just wanted to hurry up and be done and out of there.
UofU Patient
August 23, 2015
there are actually 3care providers on the team. The surgeon was articulate,comforting me that team would work together. but I was given conflicting messages about my care. One said I would have surgery, the chemo administrator said I would not. one said I would have pain medication and nausea medication to take before the chemotherapy but the chemo provider said not. one said it was a slow growing cancer another said it was aggressive.
UofU Patient
August 23, 2015
I would recommend Dr. Scaife always. She is an amazing surgeon. I have total confidence in her and her team.
UofU Patient
August 17, 2015

UofU Patient
June 27, 2015
very poor experience with dr. scaife. spent less than two minutes in the exam room with me and did not take the time to answer my questions and explain her diagnosis.
UofU Patient
June 15, 2015
Dr Scaife is a wonderful doctor. She does a lovely job in explaining everything and being honest and upfront which we appreciate.

UofU Patient
January 12, 2015
This Doctor was amazing (that's why she works at the Huntsman Center). I felt so good about surgery, she went over my scans, had pictures of her own, highlighted area's of concern, and so on and so forth. I was about to leave the clinic after the welcome i received, but the doctor restored all my confidence that i was getting real care.
UofU Patient
December 24, 2014
Stacie the PA did a thorough evaluation of my husband then consulted with Dr. Scaife who was in the OR, then facilitated the tests ordered, even walking us to the lab.

UofU Patient
December 11, 2014
Very good experience
UofU Patient
December 01, 2014
We didn't talk about medication or any follow-up care. Surgery is scheduled, and follow-up care will come after that I am sure. We were both very impressed with Dr. Sciafe and her assistant.
UofU Patient
December 01, 2014
Dr. Scaife is the best person and Dr. that anyone could ever hope to have!
UofU Patient
November 21, 2014
Dr. Scaife and Dr. Adler were great. Felt so confident and secure with all of their information and treatment plan. They were amazing. Dr Adler even called my home several days later to see how I was doing and if I had any questions. It really meant a lot to me. Can't tell you how happy I was with the whole experience
UofU Patient
November 18, 2014
Both my surgery and all subsequent follow up appointments have been just great. I've visited many medical care facilities and Huntsman is by far the most professional and enjoyable by far. That's saying a lot of the place that one goes to with cancer.
UofU Patient
October 26, 2014
Dr. Scaife gives me 100% confidence in her work.
UofU Patient
October 23, 2014
Dr. Scaiff is one of the most comforting, sweet, and great listener EVER! Not only is she a top notch Doctor and knows her stuff....but she takes all the time in the world to answer questions, listen, comfort, give hope and give hugs to a really scared patient! Brandi is also the BEST ever. She gets down to a personal level and makes me feel good. I love talking with her. I LOVE them both!!!!

Dr Scaife was excellent as well as her assistant Stacey.
UofU Patient
August 09, 2014
Dr. Scaife is an excellent, very knowledgable medical provider. She is the very best and so is her team. My experiences since the first time I met her and her team have been the best. After waiting for many years she was able to explain to me what was happening to my pancreas and recommended surgery in December 2012. I had surgery on January 7,2013.It has given me, my life back.
UofU Patient
June 25, 2014

Dr. 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, 2013
very pleased and thankful.
UofU Patient
December 16, 2013
I can't imagine more comforting people and environment to learn a not especially welcome, though not unexpected prognosis.
UofU Patient
December 02, 2013
I 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, 2013
The doctors were very knowedgeable and explained every thing to us. They answered all of our questions and were very understanding.
UofU Patient
November 18, 2013
This 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, 2013
Doc did well. Made time to see me and took time with me once I was there
UofU Patient
October 18, 2013
I 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, 2013
My answers say it all. Very good.
UofU Patient
August 27, 2013
All were great.
UofU Patient
August 05, 2013
She is an outstanding care provider
UofU Patient
June 04, 2013
Having 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, 2013

Excellent 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, 2013
Dr, 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
December 19, 2012
Dr. Scaife was awesome. The NP didn't answer my questions and wasn't very personable
UofU Patient
December 04, 2012
The 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
December 04, 2012
Put me at ease She is a very competant surgeon.
UofU Patient
November 19, 2012
We 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, 2012
I am always satisfied with Dr. Scaife's service and that includes Stacie Carbine! :-)
UofU Patient
July 17, 2012
I 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
January 28, 2012
I 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
