UofU Patient July 11, 2014The good thing she did was pat my arm once in awhile as if to say we will take care of you. She did show me the hole in the end and said it would be a big scar. Also I had alot of cancer cells.We decided the plastic surgeon would do best to fix this and happy I decided to do just that! She also said she is not responsible for the wound and the plastic surgeon would be responsible.

UofU Patient June 12, 2014Dr. Tristani was a competent professional. She made me feel like I was her only patient even though I knew she had several in the office that day.

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 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

UofU Patient June 25, 2013Dr. Tristani is in my mind one of the most knowlegable dermatologist in her field at the Univ. of Utah Hopsital. (probable SLC/Utah)
UofU Patient June 23, 2013We felt very well taken care of by Dr. Tristani and her team the last time and we came back because of that level of care given. We received the same if not better care and concern this time even when we had a problem.
