Asked provider about fatigue and if it would be beneficial to have lab work done. I was told it was because I have kids. Very unhappy with that answer.

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,

My doctor was very thorough and gave me ample time for my issues. I was able to receive the answers I was looking for.

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.
