I love Dr. Sakaguchi and have recommended and brought several family members to him. I tell them that he is the best provider they will ever have because he cares so much, but to always expect long wait times, because he cares so much about his other patients too.

The doctor just listened to problem, but no other options what we can do to solve our problems to be corrected. No supplements or vitamins or other information was addressed.

I feel like there wasn't much effort to try anything new to try to figure out what was wrong. Instead, the same tests were ordered that were already done before. It felt like the doctor was more concerned with getting through the visit than trying to figure out what was going on. I know something isn't right but instead of trying new things or sending me to a specialist I was told that we essentially do nothing until the problem gets worse.

A horrible experience. The Doctor did not want me as a patient, he acted like he did not know I had been referred over, plus, when I picked up my med from pharmacy, the pharmacy worker said, that's some good stuff, a very inappropriate comment,

The doctor dismissed my case from the urgent care and did not provide blood work for which the doctor from the urgent care requested. My personal reason should have been drawn as requested, so that I know what going on with my health. So my visit was poorly done. This doctor is not suitable for me to have for my health care concerns.

I spoke with a medical student first, who listened very attentively and double checked he had it right. I answered these questions with the doctor in mind. It seemed like the dr was very rushed. He only spent a few minutes with me, seemed agitated and frustrated with the time restraints he was experiencing. If the U of U network genuinely does care about the patients, the administrators need to allow adequate time for the professionals to do their job.

My provider told that blood work is not part of the welless/health exam. His assistant said the opposite. I have been on other wellness exams previously and it was always I included. After me asking he said that we can do it but it is usually not common practice. He barely listed just on my upper lobes of my lungs and said that I have good heart beat!?!?!?!?!?

The doctor was polite but seemed confused as to why I was there, he asked if I was there just to get a note for work, that was not the case. I was complaining of sinus pressure:congestion, sore throat, ear pain and headache. He checked my lungs, they were good, he pressed on my sinuses. Two things I thought he may want to check was my throat, nose and ears to make sure I didn't have a an infection of some type. I do think he took care of me and some of the things he said made sense. However, seemed to ignore some of my symptoms, maybe because he thought I was just trying to get a note for work? A note I did not ask for at anytime during the visit.I ended up having to go back to the doctor a couple days later to be checked again because I was getting worse. That doctor did check all of the symptoms and suggested medication to help.I will continue to go to Greenwood in the future, I do like the office overall. I've had three visits there, the first was amazing, the second was good and the latest was just ok. I will give it another chance.
