UofU Patient December 27, 2014
Dr. Grossman and the clinic staff are highly professional, helpful, friendly and thorough. I am always pleased with the services I receive at Huntsman and from Dr. Grossman.
UofU Patient December 12, 2014Dr. Grossman is terrific--thoughtful and very professional
UofU Patient November 29, 2014Professional and thorough....have recommended Dr. Grossman and the Huntsman Center to others!
UofU Patient November 24, 2014One of the best experiences I have ever had visiting a physician.
UofU Patient November 20, 2014he didn't spend a lot of time with me but I didn't expect him to. he was efficient, covered everything he needed to and got me in and out and I appreciated it.
UofU Patient November 16, 2014I know this was a time saving measure, but I would have preferred we talked then did the exam, rather than doing both simultaneously. Also I didn't love that I had to change into the gown BEFORE meeting him. I know there's a tight schedule but it wasn't very comfortable.
UofU Patient November 11, 2014Dr G is the BEST!
UofU Patient October 06, 2014I will always keep coming back to Dr. Grossman.
UofU Patient September 12, 2014I quite like Dr. Grossman. Because there was no new problems the visit was short, and there isn't too much to talk about this time, but I can't complain about "no problems" Yea. It was just a yearly check up because in the past there have been very minor issues, and the doctor has always taken care of the issues.
UofU Patient September 10, 2014I have to admit, I'm dealing with a paradigm shift. My previous physician, who is now retired, was very aggressive in hitting every little spot with liquid nitrogen, marking me up with red blisters all over my head, face and arms. Dr. Grossman didn't do any of that, which now having talked to others, seems like the right approach.
UofU Patient August 29, 2014I have been seeing Dr. Douglass Grossman for approximately 8 years. He has always described my condition clearly and has made suggestions for maintaining or improving my health.
UofU Patient August 25, 2014Very good information was provided by Dr. Grossman about signs of melanoma.
UofU Patient August 18, 2014Both as a patient and as a referring physician, I have been pleased with the care provided by the U of Utah health care system. I still feel that a summary of the care provided to patients needs to be sent to referring physicians on a more reliable basis.
UofU Patient August 17, 2014The Grossman is a great doctor and I have been seeing him for several years. He is caring and informative. He also listens to his patients and spends as much needed time with them until they feel they have gotten all the care they need.
UofU Patient August 02, 2014excellent
UofU Patient July 07, 2014I have already recommended Dr. Grossman to several people. I have high confidence in him and his staff. I appreciate the card he hands out to patients with good sunblock information on it. He always uses hand sanitizer upon entering the rooms. Also I feel protected during the exam as he always tries to keep privacy intact. He is great and trusted!
UofU Patient July 07, 2014A very good experience as a result of Dr. Grossman's information on the given care and the necessary information for subsequent treatment via the Hospital and home treatment.
UofU Patient July 04, 2014Dr. Grossman is the best!
UofU Patient June 24, 2014Very good experience and Dr. Grossman explained in detail all procedures he implemented and forecast for future follow up.
UofU Patient June 19, 2014I have recommended the Huntsman Cancer Center to friends and family.
UofU Patient June 09, 2014Dr. Grossman Was caring and professional as are all the staff at Huntsman. could not ask for better care.
UofU Patient May 23, 2014excellent physician patient skills
UofU Patient May 11, 2014have always had a pleasant experience with dr. Grossman and have the atmost confidence in him
UofU Patient April 23, 2014Dr. Douglas Grossman always does a thorough skin check head to toe.
UofU Patient March 21, 2014totally dependable and ecellent dr. kind concerned attentive
UofU Patient March 20, 2014Felt like provider was rushed and did not have time too discuss much about what I was being seen for and my questions.
UofU Patient March 17, 2014the treatment and care received was comforting and allayed my concerns
UofU Patient March 14, 2014I appreciate the ability to see Dr. Grossman, and his knowledge and expertise.
UofU Patient February 12, 2014I appreciate having Dr. Grossman on my team.
UofU Patient February 01, 2014Offered treatment alternatives. I should've asked for more detailed info about the optional scalp medication. Pharmacist filled in the blanks.
UofU Patient January 27, 2014Very intelligent and easy to talk to. He asked appropriate questions. Sometimes would ask a question then switch to another topic before getting a chance to answer. So, was much easier to answer with yes or no.
UofU Patient January 03, 2014Dr. Grossman and his staff are always highly professional, concerned and competent. I am especially impressed with Dr. Grossman's availability for biopsy appointments on short notice. This is very reassuring.
UofU Patient December 18, 2013this was a visit to discuss a problem that had come up and Dr Grossman was very helpful in our discussion
UofU Patient November 28, 2013Dr Grossman is always professional, thorough and efficient.
UofU Patient November 21, 2013All aspects of this appointment were very favorable. Yes, I will recommend!
UofU Patient November 15, 2013I know I'm in great hands with Dr. Grossman. I really trust his expertise and he gives me great peace of mind. I will keep coming to him for as long as I can.
UofU Patient November 11, 2013He's very knowledgeable and helpful at explaining what to look for.
UofU Patient November 08, 2013Dr.Grossman is great. Even though this was a follow-up exam, he took all the time he needed, was through, and gave me excellent information about my prognosis and continued care.
UofU Patient November 01, 2013Appreciated the explanations and time Dr. Grossman spent with me; he did not seem as rushed this year as last.
UofU Patient October 28, 2013I am telling everyone I know about the Huntsman. I live in a state where health care is very poor. Clinics and hospitals are horribly understaffed, wait times are beyond ridiculous, and staff are usually poorly educated, stretched too thin, and rude with patients. What a tremendous difference at the Huntsman. I was amazed.
UofU Patient October 25, 2013Provider always seemes rushed...
UofU Patient October 21, 2013Rushed. Didn't get to ask all the questions I had. Good for covering all the serious concerns, though.
UofU Patient October 16, 2013I think Dr Grossman is a great doctor, he listens, he informs, and he cares.
UofU Patient September 23, 2013excellent
UofU Patient September 23, 2013I have recommended your clinic
UofU Patient September 09, 2013The nurse was willing to answer my questions afterwards, since I was not totally prepared for what happened to me. It was done very quickly and efficiently by the doctor, yet, I felt it was just done without much explanation. I would have liked some more details, but I did not feel like I could ask the doctor. He was very nice and courteous, yet seemed rushed.
UofU Patient September 09, 2013Dr. Grossman was very professional and performed the procedure with care and sensitivity to my personal needs and concerns
UofU Patient September 02, 2013I love this clinic. They are friendly, knowledgeable and efficient! They keep us totally informed about our conditions and treatments. The wait time is always minimal and that is so very appreciated.
UofU Patient August 23, 2013A very good and comforting visit
UofU Patient August 19, 2013The entire visit was conducted in a very professional, but friendly atmosphere.
UofU Patient August 12, 2013Dr. Grossman tried to strike up a casual conversation, but then wasn't interested in my responses. I know he's busy, but if he wants to act like he's interested in my life as a retiree, he should listen when I answer and not be pre-occupied.
UofU Patient July 29, 2013my initial surgery was at huntsman and this is my fourth of 6 month checks, all my experiences have been great. I love all the people at the Huntsman Center and I am thankful that this wonderfully run center is in Salt Lake City.
UofU Patient July 23, 2013Dr. Grossman is amazing. He is so great and understanding of his patients needs. He is very personable and a good listener. He is also very good at discussing treatment options and explaining everything he is doing. He also called me personally today with my pathology results and to make a clear plan of my treatment options. He was also very clear about wanting to see me sooner (6 month) for follow up. I think he is the best and would recommend him to anyone.
UofU Patient July 22, 2013Dr. Grossman is excellent.
UofU Patient July 03, 2013The exam seemed rushed. I did not get to ask him questions about my scalp problems.
UofU Patient July 03, 2013I will always recommend Dr. Grossman. I trust his judgement and knowledge on skin cancers and screening. He gave me a handout of info on sunscreen which is great. Very smart and have all the confidence in him as my dermatologist.
UofU Patient June 17, 2013He said I would have results in a couple of days - he called me personally when he said he would. I was so relieved that I didn't have to wait until after the weekend.
UofU Patient June 17, 2013Dr. Grossman is an excellent doctor and a consummate professional. I would not hesitate to recommend him.
UofU Patient April 30, 2013I have visited with Dr. Grossman every six months for 9 years and always found him to be thorough, professional and informative. We have almost become friends now. My visits with him and the staff are as comfortable as possible for the nature of the visit. My concerns are always welcome and discussions helpful. I am always invited to call at any time if I need to have something checked. I know that he would fit me into his schedule if it was needed. He is very interested in making sure we do not miss anything that leads to another surgery.
UofU Patient April 29, 2013i can add nothing other than to say perfect
UofU Patient April 29, 2013Dr. Grossman not only does his exam, he is willing to help lift the patient from his wheelchair to the exam chair and back--clearly above and beyond what most doctors do. He also spends probably twice the time with him.
UofU Patient April 01, 2013Dr. Grossman and Dr. Bowen are personable, thorough and always take time to explain things completely to my satisfaction. I trust their care and would not consider going anywhere else for my dermatology needs.
UofU Patient March 26, 2013My only negative comment is that my exam still seems too hasty. I have a large number of moles and it takes more time to look at my whole body carefully enough.
UofU Patient March 11, 2013Dr. Grossman is very knowledgeable & kind.
UofU Patient March 07, 2013very pleased with the care provided
UofU Patient March 05, 2013great followup
UofU Patient February 26, 2013I have already recommended Dr. Grossman/Huntsman Cancer Institute to others who wish to receive the care/services I am receiving, and I will continue to do so.
UofU Patient February 25, 2013Dr. Grossman is friendly and very knowledgable.
UofU Patient February 20, 2013Dr. Grossman even offered to instruct family member on what skin changes to note.
UofU Patient February 11, 2013Both my daughter and I came for initial appts. I have had 2 different melanomas and my daughter was extremely anxious about the appt. The doctor quickly put her mind at ease and presented the option of body mapping to check the atypical moles. I have recommended this doctor to my other daughters who will come in for body mapping as well.
UofU Patient January 29, 2013I appreciate the chance to see Dr Grossman for annual follow-up.
UofU Patient January 29, 2013I always know I am in good hands with Dr. Grossman.
UofU Patient January 28, 2013I'm always impressed with the access, responsiveness and speed of follow up from this clinic. It couldn't be any better!
UofU Patient January 21, 2013FIrst time for me to see Dr. Grossman. I appreciated the time he spent. He didn't appear to be rushed and was thorough and listened carefully to me. PA Scerpico has been seeing me every 6 months for about 2 years now. Each time i see him I am astounded by the compassion, support, detailed explanations and over all care he puts into my appointments. I feel blessed and lucky each time i visit Hunstman based on the care i get from PA Scerpics. This feeling is supported by the front desk staff at Clinic D. Also the the overall cleanliness of the facility adn beautiful finishes and good food help too!
UofU Patient January 14, 2013I had never been to that clinic or seen that doctor before, yet the nurse and doctor saw on my chart that it said I had been there before. That made me worry a bit that they had the wrong chart. I've never had a dermatology check before so I have nothing to compare it to, but I don't feel like I got a very thorough exam because he didn't look very well at every part of my body. I guess he saw enough though. An administrator asked if she could sit and observe the exam so she and the nurse were sitting on a small sofa in the exam room and it felt weird - like I was sitting in someone's living room while they sat there watching without assisting or commenting.
UofU Patient January 05, 2013Dr. Grossman is a very good doctor, he is responsive and honest in his conversations with me. I appreciate this in him, and those working with him. The University of Utah is lucky to have a fine Doctor like Grossman.
UofU Patient December 22, 2012Dr. Grossman is a great doctor. He has been taking care of me for quite some time. He is friendly courteous and proessional at all times. He is a good communicator.

UofU Patient November 19, 2012over all very good
UofU Patient November 07, 2012A most efficient and caring facility for what can sometimes be a negative medical reason for coming. Replaces hope and ease with fear and great trepidation.
UofU Patient November 03, 2012I think dr Grossman is one of the best doctors I've ever seen
UofU Patient October 31, 2012I am confident that I had the best of the services directly administered to my condition
UofU Patient October 30, 2012Dr. Grossman is good at what he does, so in that sense I feel confident in his care. However, he did not listen well to me, and seemed to be in a hurry.
UofU Patient October 23, 2012Dr. Grossman was very friendly to me and my wife. After the body exam, he showed my wife what signs of mole growths, to look for! He was more open and informative than in past. In the past, he seemed preoccupied with other concerns!

UofU Patient August 09, 2012Dr. Grossman is a good listener and a credit to the Dept.
UofU Patient August 08, 2012I felt a bit rushed. My questions were answered but somewhat abruptly. Doctor disappeared at end of examination as if he were late for another appointment. I would have liked him to say: "Do you have any further questions or concerns?"
UofU Patient July 31, 2012Dr Grossman has been seeing me for over 10 years and in that time have diagnosed basal cell and melanoma. I honestly believe without their mole mapping program, these cancerous moles may not have been caught in an early, treatable stage. I can't say en
UofU Patient July 26, 2012Dr. Grossman is absolutely amazing! I recommend him to all my family and friends all the time. He is the best dermo I have seen.
UofU Patient July 23, 2012The doctor was very thorough, spent time to talk about the issues I expressed and answered my questions. He spent the time needed without being rushed or impatient. I would recommend him to friend and family. He called me personally to report the findin

UofU Patient May 05, 2012Sometimes I get the impression from my physician that he thinks I'm overreacting/ overly anxious
UofU Patient April 28, 2012Thanks to Dr. Grossman and Huntsman staff for their time and help.
UofU Patient March 31, 2012Dr. Grossman included me in the decision making process, this was excellent. He proposed that my husband check my skin monthly, which was good. He combined ths visit with my annual follow up tests, which was very helpful.
UofU Patient March 21, 2012exam was a little hasty, skipped my scalp
UofU Patient March 14, 2012I am a little concerned about a little pink mole, on my top right hand, that was of little conern to me or the doctor that has turned out to be cancerous and will need futher surgery!
UofU Patient March 14, 2012a very comfortable pace - didn't feel rushed
UofU Patient March 10, 2012It was a checkup, so I have no "follow up" until next year.
UofU Patient March 10, 2012I appreciate Dr. Grossman's consideration of my concerns, even when he's quite sure I needn't worry.
UofU Patient February 25, 2012Doctor didn't take any attention to my problem. Very rude and was not listening to anything. Spent only 5 or 10 minutes that too in hurry.
