UofU Patient October 31, 2013The doctor assured me we would find an answer even though it appears it's not going to be easy and may take an unusually long time. I believe he will be persistent, and he really cares that we figure out what's causing my break outs.

UofU Patient May 07, 2013In all it was a very productive experience. Needless to say it was all good.

UofU Patient March 10, 2013I was so impressed with Dr. Powell's patience and genuine interest in trying to get to the bottom of what has become a complex medical problem. I have been to mutiple health care providers many of whom just prefer I go elsewhere. In contrast, Dr. Powell has chosen to stay informed on my progress as I see other specialists. Im grateful that he is so enthusiatic about "learning something new" that he is willing to take the time to be a member of my health care team. It's not easy for me to trust healthcare providers in general but I knew immediately that Dr. Powell is a Keeper.
