I was hoping to meet with Dr. Kemeyou in addition to Jacob Fetzer to discuss my PET results and sarcoidosis treatment options going forward. For this visit Dr. Wever-Pinzon filled in. Other than discussing the PET scan results, which I had already seen there was not much guidance on future treatment and medication options other than to follow up with Hepatology regarding recommended treatment. Overall the visit was not of much value to me as the patient.

Nothing in regard to care provider but to the pre visit interview - I talk to a cardiologist every month. I would prefer that rather than go through every medication and supplement one by one if I were asked, "has anything changed". U of U is far and away the most likely to change my medication.

This was my first contact with Jacob Fetzer, PA. I found him very well versed on the history of my cardiac challenges - his questions were very much on point - I found him to be a very good listener. His manner was most cordial and he was careful to explain those things he thought i needed to know about my condition and any changes in regimen. Very confidence inspiring and an excellent experience.
