UofU Patient February 27, 2014Because of my past experience, I chose to return to this office. I still feel I was well treated this time as well.
UofU Patient February 23, 2014Dr. Tristani and her staff are excellent. I received extremely impressive results from my first MOHS surgery, and expect the same from this second one. My primary dermatologist was very pleased with the MOHS results, too.
UofU Patient February 22, 2014Entire experience was enlightening as to treatment of basal cell carcinoma, followup and treatment at home of post-excision area.
UofU Patient February 14, 2014I have seen Dr. Tristani for a number of years. She is very caring about my skin cancers, and performs Mohs surgery with the tenderness and concern for me that she can. Her staff follow their leader. They are very friendly and supporting. I can't imagine going to anyone else. She is the best.......
UofU Patient February 13, 2014Dr. Tritani was great. I always knew what she was doing, and what was to be determined. She also explained the reconstructive part of the 'stitching up' and what I was to expect.
UofU Patient February 10, 2014Dr. Tristani is wonderful. She made me feel as comfortable as was possible and I felt very well taken care of, even though it was an awful experience to go through. She is very caring and always concerned and takes time for any questions or comments. Her assistants were also very caring and helpful.

UofU Patient January 24, 2014excellent
UofU Patient January 22, 2014I have the utmost confidence in Dr. Tristani and actually enjoy our care appointments. She is always professional and demonstrates extreme concern for my comfort.
UofU Patient January 18, 2014Dr. Tristiani answered my questions and even called me back after I had called in the day before to be sure I was doing better.
UofU Patient January 11, 2014So professional, competent, yet personable and caring.
UofU Patient January 07, 2014Dr. Tristani and the staff were very professional.
UofU Patient December 23, 2013The doctor was fantastic. I made sure to request her
UofU Patient December 20, 2013I told Dr. Tristani that I wanted to learn as much as possible during my appointment as I am a family doc in our residency here at the U. She was fantastic! She took the time to show me my slides and teach me about her approach to MOHS. It was fascinating seeing what is involved with the whole process, the competence of the assistants and trust she has in them, how the team works so efficiently together, and everyone is so able and wiling to educate patients. I always knew what to expect and have great admiration for the care and service I received. Dr. Tristani and her entire team were outstanding!
UofU Patient December 11, 2013I have confidence in her and then don't have to worry about my moles and other oddities for another year.
UofU Patient December 07, 2013I feel lucky to have Dr Tristani as my dermatologist as she knows so much and cares so well. For example she remembers who I am and the various places she's worked on, and she cares how they look now.
UofU Patient December 02, 2013The removal of the basal carcenoma was explained well. The surgical procedure after including the incision on my nose and stitches away from where the cancer was removed was not explained very well. When I got home and eventually removed my bandage (after 48 hours) I was rather surprised how much my nose had been cut up
UofU Patient November 26, 2013I refer patients to Dr. Tristani constantly.
UofU Patient November 18, 2013Everyone in the office and medical staff were very professional and excellant at their jobs.
UofU Patient November 16, 2013Dr. Tristani is very professional and shows great concerns and interest towards my worries. She explained everything to me on my level and answered all of my questions. Dr. Tristani is the Best and I recommend her to my co-workers,family and friends.
UofU Patient November 10, 2013I specifically asked for Dr. Tristani because of the care she gave my husband and also feedback from others. I feel she did everything possible to give me the best care possible. She also accommodated my need to stay lying down while waiting for my biopsy results, thus occupying a room that could have been used by others. I appreciate that! Thank you
