Didn't like not seeing my onc. team,but totally understood why we had to do it this way. They asked me if I would be okay doing a telehealth appointment and I said yes. But...I didn't! Esther and Teresa answered all my questions and I wouldn't of received any other information had I seen them in person, its just nice to see them and have them do an actual physical exam (even though I had no complaints). Of course I understand the reason and the nurse, Esther and Teresa did a great job!!

Dr. Werner always makes me feel like I'm her number one priority. Even though she was running behind, she discussed my past appointment and concerns with me.

Dr. Werner came in directly to me and looked me right in the eye, introduced herself and gave me a little background about her knowledge in ovarian cancer and the work she is doing in clinical trials, which calmed me, however on a interesting side-note, when we first received the Huntsman Cancer information and I was briefly glancing through the pamphlet my eyes landed on her picture and I said to my husband; I want her to be my Doctor'. Weird. Dr. Werner then got a piece of paper and wrote down everything she was saying to us - which has been so helpful as we refer to it often; information coming at you very quickly is very overwhelming. She hugged me good-bye - I feel she really cares if I live or die . . .

Dr. Werner is an exceptional physician and individual. She takes the time to review your file before your appointment so no time is spent going over your situation and reminding of your concerns. She is able to address you health status and concerns immediately, she takes the time to go over her test results and options of cared. At no time does she come across as been rushed or needing to see the next patient. With the various issues patients have and emergencies that come up, it's amazing how she is able to stay on schedule, never making you wait.

For number 3, showed very good concern but seemed unwilling to be patient-centered in my request for additional prevention medications for CINV, which is very important to me and a very reasonable request with excellent justification. My expectation was that the provider would be more open to tailoring a regimen for me, rather than simply going with the 'standard approach' for all patients.

UofU Patient
October 30, 2015
I felt rushed, and the onset of information was too quickly presented for me to process. However, I do understand this physician is extremely busy with other patients. I do feel that more time taken would have been nice without the feeling of everyone rushing to get off work. Because of the delay, we had to hurry to get my blood work done before 6pm-it was 5:55 when we finished out visit. I am still unsure when I pick up my meds, how to schedule them with the chemo. I do not feel confident or knowledgeable about my care, and I have not felt this way with any of my other doctors. They have really taken the time to explain things to me.

UofU Patient

We highly recommend Huntsman to anyone who asks us about Cancer Treatment
UofU Patient

this was just for labs- not to see the doctor
UofU Patient
November 20, 2014
Dr 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

I 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.

My care couldn't have been better.
UofU Patient
August 07, 2014
Once again, I felt like the doctor and everyone involved cared about me.
UofU Patient
July 31, 2014
Teresa (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, 2014
Esther 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, 2014
Dr. Werner is off the chart in her care and treatment, especially of this non-routine situation.
UofU Patient
June 16, 2014
I would strongly recommend this hospital and all the staff members to anyone with any situation similar to mine.
UofU Patient
June 12, 2014
the Huntsmen Center is The Best of Everything

UofU Patient

UofU Patient
May 18, 2014
Routine 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, 2014
DR. THERESA WERNER AND HER STAFF ARE ALWAYS PLEASANT AND PROVIDE GREAT INFORMATION.
UofU Patient
May 11, 2014

MY DREAM TEAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
UofU Patient
April 18, 2014
I 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

UofU Patient
March 05, 2014
I got good vibes from the staff and continue to with my following treatments.
UofU Patient
January 25, 2014
One 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 25, 2014
good 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 19, 2014
great people to deal with bad cancer.!
UofU Patient
December 21, 2013
Your chart doesn't have categories high enough for Dr. Werner and her staff.
UofU Patient
December 16, 2013
It 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, 2013
On 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, 2013
I feel safe and well cared for.
UofU Patient
November 26, 2013
Theresa 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, 2013
The 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, 2013
The 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, 2013
all my experiences have been good
UofU Patient
September 21, 2013
The 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, 2013
I really appreciate this team and how they know me and show concern for me.
UofU Patient
August 12, 2013
I 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, 2013
I 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, 2013
Dr. 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, 2013
Same comment . . . outstanding throughout.
UofU Patient
June 24, 2013
Very good experience. Better than I expected
UofU Patient
June 19, 2013
The 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, 2013

May 29, 2013
I 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
April 12, 2013
Dr. 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, 2013
I 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
January 09, 2013
We 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, 2013
My care was primarily provided by a nurse, not one of the group listed above.
UofU Patient
January 01, 2013
Highly confident in the entire team
UofU Patient
January 01, 2013
The people involved are unbelievable! They make this difficult experience manageable. Thank you.
UofU Patient
November 19, 2012
Dr 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, 2012
I 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, 2012
We 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, 2012
even thought I know they are very busy, they have time to answer my questions and encourage
UofU Patient
October 15, 2012
due 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, 2012
Dr. Warner is always great to not only explain things well but she is also great to write things down.

Everyone 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, 2012
Again, the medical staff is no less than excellent.
UofU Patient
September 23, 2012
Our 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, 2012
my 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, 2012
Dr. 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, 2012
I am very pleased with the care I receive at Huntsman, and have much confidence in Dr. Werner, Dr Soisson, and their staffs.

April 14, 2012
Dr. Werner and Esther K. have given me excellent care. I look forward to seeing them for my appointments.
UofU Patient
March 14, 2012
I would probably not recommend a specific provider in the infusion center, but I would definitely recommend HCI infusion center.
UofU Patient
February 28, 2012
Dr. 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.
