Dr Sakaguchi was very informative, and looked for the best route for my condition. He was very concerned about not over-medicating me like past providers, and gave me the cons of previous medications I had been on, although they worked, he thoroughly explained the detriment they come along with.

I really needed to go over the new medications I had been taking in detail, and I did not feel like the provider was being sensitive to the time it was taking to explain it. I know he is busy, but it just felt like he was more willing to write another prescription rather than explore other options.

migraines can be hard to dx and tx, but at times I felt the provider didn't think my symptoms were as bad as I described. I left feeling a little unclear of how to navigate all the meds I was prescribed. Not a bad Dr, just not as much bedside manner as Dr. Abernati (spelling?)

When we started the appointment he asked me why I was being seen. I told him I had been sick for a month and was concerned because I wasn't getting better. he then abruptly asked me again why I was being seen. I told him again that I'm concerned about not getting better, and that I was having some concerning symptoms. he again asked why I was being seen that day. I felt like he didn't want me to come to the doctor or that he didn't believe me or something. I was really frustrated.

I love Dr Sakaguchi and his team so much. I have seen a lot of Doctors over the years for many different things and never have I had a doctor so willing and personable.

I just felt very rushed and he didn't touch on any of the concerns I mentioned to the nurse before coming in (we were on the phone for at least half an hour). I have what feels like abnormal tissue in my breast but because of how much of a hurry he seemed to be in, I chose not to bring it up after he addressed my other issue. (Both of which were brought up with the scheduling nurse before coming in. The staff and nurses were very nice and so was Dr Sakaguchi but when I call ahead and ask to be seen same day I expect to not have to wait or if I do have to wait I expect to not be rushed out before all of my questions are answered. I am sad to say I would not recommend this provider.

Due to an emergency was running late 10 minutes to appointment. Decided to show up at clinic anyway and see if could be seen or needed to reschedule? Provider decided to see me due to some no shows. During visit provider was in a rush through out whole appointment. Would get asked questions and when I would answer, would get cut off. Over all bad experience! Would of much rather have rescheduled physical and be seen by Dr. Matthew Johnson! Definitely, would not recommend Dr. Sakaguchi to Family or Friends.

Dr. Sakaguchi didn't explain much. I asked a lot of questions which he did answer but I felt that I had to be very thorough with my questions because the answers were very general/vague. If I were a first-time parent I most likely would not have gotten any information at all. Also, he didn't wash his hands after he examined my son's penis (we saw Dr. Sakaguchi for a circumcision). I thought that was really gross. I was not at all happy with his bedside manner.

For 3) and 6), I initially mentioned concern about one symptom, and the need for a colonoscopy, but Dr. Farrant did not follow up on it. He may have also forgotten, and I should have brought it up again for further comment and recommendation.

Dr Sakaguchi was excellent in every way. I have had many primary care physicians in my 49 years and I consider him the best.

Dr. Sakaguci is an amazing Dr. and a mandatory asset to the U of U and it's quality reputation. He is very thorough with genuine concern to any and all aspects of care pertaining to past and present care. He is a great listener which makes it easier to trust and open up to him about all questions/concerns no matter how big or small. I have no complaints about My doctor.

I was not impressed at all and I will NOT EVER bring my children back to see that man again! He didn't listen to me as to what has been happening, the symptoms were very clear and yet he said I was wrong and said there was nothing to it must be a virus. I had to call back the next day because the symptoms got worse, the pain got worse, it was more like torture at this point with a fever of 101! After suffering for another day we finally got some antibiotics which the doctor never even told us that he called in! I had to call in the next day to find out that he sent over a prescription! Needless to say my diagnoses was correct it was not a virus! Just a simple ear infection that needed antibiotics.

I finally feel extremely confident in my care provider. I know that someone is going to be concerned about me in particular, and not just another number or another case. Thank you so much for being truly sincere.

The doctor was in a big hurry and didn't seem concerned at all with my concerns. He Made me feel like I was there for something so trivial when I was told by another provider to go be seen. He spent less than 5 min with me
