We highly recommend Huntsman to anyone who asks us about Cancer Treatment
UofU Patient December 24, 2014this was just for labs- not to see the doctor
UofU Patient November 20, 2014Dr Warner is amazing. Always willing to take as much time as necessary with me, explaning everything. She is caring, funny and the best there is. IF I have to have Cancer, I am blessed to have her as my MD:)
UofU Patient September 25, 2014Dr Werner is one of the best doc's I've ever worked with. She is extremely thorough, is a good communicator, and I can tell she genuinely care about me
UofU Patient September 13, 2014I never did see Dr. Werner that day, but have complete confidence in Esther and am grateful to have such a good team advising and helping me. Thank you.
UofU Patient September 04, 2014Love my doctors
UofU Patient August 17, 2014My care couldn't have been better.
UofU Patient August 07, 2014Once again, I felt like the doctor and everyone involved cared about me.
UofU Patient July 31, 2014Teresa (Dr. Werner) is just the best. I'm so glad she's my doctor. She remembers me and my concerns even though we're down to 6 month visits.
UofU Patient July 31, 2014Esther and Dr. Werner are always very concerned about my welfare. I trust them completely. they always remember my history and address my concerns and questions.
UofU Patient July 11, 2014Dr. Werner is off the chart in her care and treatment, especially of this non-routine situation.
UofU Patient June 16, 2014I would strongly recommend this hospital and all the staff members to anyone with any situation similar to mine.
UofU Patient June 12, 2014the Huntsmen Center is The Best of Everything
UofU Patient June 11, 2014Dr. Werner is excellent.
UofU Patient June 09, 2014The staff at Hntsman was amazing!
UofU Patient May 30, 2014Love Dr. Soisson, Dr. Werner, and all their nurse's and associates.
UofU Patient May 18, 2014Routine port flush - the nurses in the lab are always very courteous. This was on the day the clinic moved to their new location, so they were somewhat concerned about my privacy - but I was not concerned.
UofU Patient May 15, 2014DR. THERESA WERNER AND HER STAFF ARE ALWAYS PLEASANT AND PROVIDE GREAT INFORMATION.
UofU Patient May 11, 2014My questions are always answered... I never have any concerns. I know I'm in good hands. Happy Mother's Day, all...
UofU Patient May 09, 2014MY DREAM TEAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
UofU Patient April 18, 2014I love the team Dr. Werner has and I love Dr. Werner. I feel safe with her, listened to and considered in the decisions about my health. The Huntsman Center is not close to my home and I was thinking of going to a place closer to my home but I will not because of my confidence in Dr. Werner. I also worked with Wendy Kohlman that day and Wendy is also incredible. She is very dependable, knowledgable, and hard working.
UofU Patient April 05, 2014Dr. Werner and her staff always are excellent !
UofU Patient March 30, 2014Theresa Werner and her nurse Stephanie are awesome!
UofU Patient March 16, 2014My visits with Dr. Werner are always a good experience.
UofU Patient March 13, 2014perfect
UofU Patient March 07, 2014they are all great...
UofU Patient March 05, 2014I got good vibes from the staff and continue to with my following treatments.
UofU Patient January 25, 2014good explanations and description. however, I was asked the same questions the previous three doctors asked. the exam made my pain worse and no one offered to help me with it until the drs left the room and I couldn't even stand. the nurse had remained behind to go over side effects and immediately took steps to get me some pain relief. she was wonderful.
UofU Patient January 25, 2014One of the best experiences I've ever had with a physician....Dr. Werner listens, provides sound easy to follow instruction and compassion and encouragement rarely seen in a clinical setting.
UofU Patient January 19, 2014great people to deal with bad cancer.!
UofU Patient December 21, 2013Your chart doesn't have categories high enough for Dr. Werner and her staff.
UofU Patient December 16, 2013It was such a refreshing experience to visit with Dr. Werner and her colleagues. We say "visit" because our experience was more like meeting with very knowledgeable friends than medical professionals we just met. Everyone was very caring towards my mother and I especially appreciated that.
UofU Patient December 15, 2013On this visit, for the initial assessment I was able to see Esther L. Kannapel, A.P.R.N. I feel very lucky whenever I am able to see her. She is excellent in all ways, including her manner. She is very easy to talk to and I am amazed at the details she remembers from previous visits. I feel that she does a very thorough assessment for Dr. Werner and that I am in very good hands. I sincerely appreciate her help in all ways. I always see Dr. Soisson and Dr. Werner and think very are both excellent doctors as well, in all ways, including the very human way they treat me. I sincerely appreciate all the help I receive from all of these nurse/practitioners/doctors.
UofU Patient December 02, 2013I feel safe and well cared for.
UofU Patient November 26, 2013Theresa Werner is a wonderful doctor! I am happy to have her as mine. And Stephanie, her nurse, is great too. They are a terrific team.
UofU Patient November 11, 2013The above questions would seem to indicate that there was choice, discussion and solution. We did not find that the case. Yes, we are not very pleased with things, and feel like there is little concern for our convenience or needs.
UofU Patient October 07, 2013The staff at Huntsman has fought with me through two cancers in the past four years. From the lady that cleaned my room after my first debulking surgery up to the various oncologists involved in my treatment every person I have dealt with has made me feel I was the most important patient on the roster. Huntsman's staff has saved my life and my sanity.
UofU Patient September 30, 2013all my experiences have been good
UofU Patient September 21, 2013The care I received from all floors and everyone involved in my treatment was over the top in every aspect of my stay. I would recommend Huntsman institute and University of Utah because of their excellent medical staff and the care I received.
UofU Patient August 26, 2013I really appreciate this team and how they know me and show concern for me.
UofU Patient August 12, 2013I was extremely pleased with how Ester expressed her care for my interest and explained what can I do to maintain better health by writing a note for me just the way Dr. Warner did when I met her the first time. Huntsman has such amazing doctors not only intelligent but show their sincere care for patients. Thank you so very much!!
UofU Patient August 09, 2013I can't say enough good things about Dr. Werner. She is wonderful and I thank God every day that I am able to be treated by her and her staff. I am in remission today because of their knowledge and excellent care. She always makes me feel like I am important and that she cares about me as a person. Even though I have to travel from Idaho every 3 weeks for treatment...it is sooo worth it!!
UofU Patient August 05, 2013Dr. Werner's team from her secretaries (Killie or Kim) the nurses Rachael and Stephanie, her Physician Assistant Esther and Dr. Werner provide me with information that it really helps me. Esther went beyond anything posible to give information to my insurance and then to explain to me my problem and findings in my tests. Then Dr. Werner reaffirm and explain again with concern and clarity all my questions.
UofU Patient July 03, 2013Same comment . . . outstanding throughout.
UofU Patient June 24, 2013Very good experience. Better than I expected
UofU Patient June 19, 2013The time spent with the doctor is short but, because of the teamwork with the nurse and nurse practitioner, it seems adequate.
UofU Patient June 07, 2013Good
UofU Patient May 29, 2013I have nothing but praise for the Oncology Dr.s & Staff from check in to the end of my appointment. All of the staff @ Huntsman is the best!!
UofU Patient May 09, 2013I feel I have gotten the very best care possible in Clinic.
UofU Patient April 19, 2013Fantastic providers. Very knowledgeable and helpful.
UofU Patient April 12, 2013Dr. Werner has it nailed in terms of her interaction with me as a patient, a good mixture of professionalism and friendliness, showing attention to all relevant medical details while also showing an interest in me as a person and the elements of my personal life. She is an outstanding clinician.
UofU Patient March 11, 2013I feel good about my care and the attention you give me. I need to bring more questions with me . . . You're so good at answering them. Thanks.
UofU Patient March 04, 2013Dr. Werner and her Physician Assistant Esther are excellent human beings, which make them excellent, caring medical team. Great team
UofU Patient February 26, 2013Dr. Theresa Werner and her assistants are always wonderful; they make me feel as though I am their only patient! Thank you!
UofU Patient February 19, 2013Dr. Werner was even more than we expected she was outstanding
UofU Patient February 17, 2013I have nothing but good comments & confidence that I'm at the best place to beat my cancer.
UofU Patient January 09, 2013We have been so impressed with Dr. Warner and her entire staff. They are always concerned and helpful with questions and just explaining everything in detail!
UofU Patient January 02, 2013My care was primarily provided by a nurse, not one of the group listed above.
UofU Patient January 01, 2013Highly confident in the entire team
UofU Patient January 01, 2013The people involved are unbelievable! They make this difficult experience manageable. Thank you.
UofU Patient November 19, 2012Dr Werner is great!! I feel like she genuinly cares about me. She never acts like she is in a rush and takes the time to explain things and answer all my questions. I know I am getting the best care possible!
UofU Patient November 05, 2012I absolutely love Dr Werner and trust her implicitly! Monday (and the one other time I waited a couple hrs), were just really busy days.
UofU Patient October 30, 2012We are taking a change of direction with my treatment and I will need to ask more questions at the next appointment.
UofU Patient October 23, 2012even thought I know they are very busy, they have time to answer my questions and encourage
UofU Patient October 15, 2012due to the business of this day; we felt confident in time shared by care providers. It was all we needed to complete the phase of treatment mom is in.
UofU Patient October 13, 2012Dr. Warner is always great to not only explain things well but she is also great to write things down.
UofU Patient October 12, 2012felt i had excellent care.
UofU Patient October 01, 2012Everyone we saw at the Huntsman Center was excellent and we feel very confident that we will get the best care possible at your facility
UofU Patient September 28, 2012Again, the medical staff is no less than excellent.
UofU Patient September 23, 2012Our experience with Dr. Warner was so great. She did a great job at not only talking to us, but she wrote down all of the important information regarding treatment, side effects and medication information as she was talking to us so that we could refer back to it and that was very helpful!
UofU Patient August 18, 2012my hope is people I know won't have to go thru cancer, if so, I would recommend you. The doctor told me it was my decision to undergo chemo; in Az. it was the doctor telling me what to do.
UofU Patient August 17, 2012Dr. Werner has been incredible from day one. She always makes me feel like she is there for just me while she is in the room, and not only medically, but also by taking time to have some personal conversation and interaction before I leave. Dr. Werner never makes me feel intimidated or fearful of asking questions - she is wonderful!
UofU Patient August 10, 2012I am very pleased with the care I receive at Huntsman, and have much confidence in Dr. Werner, Dr Soisson, and their staffs.
UofU Patient August 06, 2012Excellent service was received by HCI. I feel very confident with doctors, and all medical staff there.
UofU Patient July 16, 2012The physician and nurse practitioner are excellent caregivers
UofU Patient June 30, 2012Dr. Werner is awesome

UofU Patient April 14, 2012Dr. Werner and Esther K. have given me excellent care. I look forward to seeing them for my appointments.
UofU Patient March 14, 2012I would probably not recommend a specific provider in the infusion center, but I would definitely recommend HCI infusion center.
UofU Patient February 28, 2012Dr. Werner took time to listen and give me their thoughts and suggestions. I am proud/thankful that I am able to receive care there. You guys are great.
