UofU Patient August 13, 2012Randy is the best he makes sure I understand what is going on and is very quick to reply to phone calls, emails, and makes me feel like a person not just a client with a specific number
UofU Patient August 07, 2012My wife and I love Dr. Jensen. From the start after first learning about my wife's brain tumor we felt the utmost confidence in his abilities and he has been very compassionate and caring throughout the diagnosis, surgery and follow up. In our last visit I wish we could have spent a little more time with him as it was really short and we left kind of feeling like "that's it?" This has been a life altering experience for us and we worry and wonder a lot about the future and would have liked to have had a little more time with him but I understand that he is very busy and I think that the outcome of my wife's surgery has been so good in his eyes that maybe he felt like she was doing so good that there wasn't much else to tell us. Regardless, he is a very good man and we feel fortunate to have had him as our neurosurgeon.
UofU Patient July 29, 2012Dr Jensen was very thorough and gave me every option I could choose for treatment without forcing me in any way.
UofU Patient March 22, 2012All elements in this group of questions were very good, and these are the most important questions.
UofU Patient February 10, 2012They underestimated the time to get the pathology report which kept us on pins and needles for a few extra days, so would have preferred to have it more accurate, but this was a small thing overall
