April 24, 2025UTAH DIABETES CENTERIt is very good and I recommend it to patients. [TRANSLATED]
March 28, 2025UTAH DIABETES CENTERCaring and listens to you
March 25, 2025UTAH DIABETES CENTERIt is hard to describe the impact that Dr. Hagn has had on me and my life. She is the consummate professional... a medical genius, but she also has the gift of "giving a damn" and true empathy. I've been through a lot and wouldn't be here without her... her expertise has kept me out of bed and working and I've enjoyed a wonderful career thus far, given that she's helped me manage my pain behind the scenes. My condition might be considered a bit unique, but she has never judged me or given up on me and my debilitating symptoms. I ultimately had a total joint replacement and it has been quite traumatic and at my last visit, she embraced me and we cooked up a plan going forward to heal, feel better, and get my life back after 18 years. She truly cares about her patients. She is the full package. I cannot emphasize enough the impact she has had on me having the most functional life possible. If she could be cloned... she should be. Everyone deserves a provider like Dr. Hagn.
March 19, 2025UTAH DIABETES CENTERDoctor Hagn has helped me with numerous aspects of my overall health. Her expertise has helped keep me safe while managing my ongoing health issues and considering new treatment options. I've been seen by many doctors and she's one of the few I'm going to continue to work with long-term. Highly recommend.

December 18, 2024UTAH DIABETES CENTERDr Hagen takes the time to listen, understand and provide the best treatment available to her for my issues.
November 20, 2024PAIN MANAGEMENT CENTERDr Hagn is not only a master knowledge about chronic pain syndromes, she is determined to not give up on you until you until you are at an acceptable level of pain. Her kindness and compassion are rare to find in a dr who is an expert in their field. Even if you have been to several places searching for help with your chronic pain, please see Dr Hagn and your hope will be restored that there is help and that a dr really cares about you and wants to help get your disease under control.
