UofU Patient July 26, 2016
It's 7 months now that I have been seeing Dr. Vitale. I have NO doubt that he is an excellent physician, and I absolutely believe that he is trying to help me. However, after 7 month's time, I still feel like I am talking to a stranger when he comes into the room. He runs in says "Hi, how are ya?" and immediately sticks his head into the computer. For a person with anxiety, such as myself, it would help a lot if he actually treated me like a person and not just a patient. That would help me calm down a lot when I am there. As I said, I have NO DOUBT that he is an excellent physician, and I fully believe that he is trying to help me, but our personalities are such that if I had another choice, I would most likely see someone else. To be fair, it was an extremely busy clinic this day, but after 7 months we are still only civil to each other and not friendly at all? Not good, not good. Also, it was late enough in the day when I left that I got no instructions about how long to take my antibiotic eye drop after my injection, and the clinic had to call me the next day to schedule my next appointment.
UofU Patient July 23, 2016He was VERY courteous, thorough, and considerate. However the lights invoked a severe migraine which he didn't pick up on. I was soon beyond any reasonable state of thinking capacity that I feel diminished in the overall purpose of the visit. I still don't feel I have any explanation to work with, or future plan. Basically I am just continuing the same medicinal treatment I have for the last several months.
UofU Patient July 20, 2016Dr. Vitale is always great, however I can tell when he is busy and has other patients/things on his mind. I often delay asking him questions because of a rushed feeling, but if I call with questions they always get answered, sometimes by him personally which I appreciate greatly.
UofU Patient July 17, 2016awesome
UofU Patient July 14, 2016Always GOD care
UofU Patient July 05, 2016After Dr. V. finished his exam he said all looks good, reduce meds, and that was about all. I would like more details. For example; show me on the scans what looks better and why, what happened to all the floaters in my right eye? Where did they go? Will they come back?
UofU Patient May 04, 2016I am so happy I am being care for by this very professional Staff and Dr. I am not so frightened about my future Vision problems. Very grateful to them.
UofU Patient May 01, 2016Dr. Vitali is always positive and upbeat. I am honored that he would take me for a patient!
UofU Patient April 26, 2016Dr. Vitale is awesome! The ONLY reason I put up with the long wait times when I visit the Moran is because I like and trust Dr. Vitale so much!
UofU Patient April 26, 2016Perhaps in the future we will look back at the treatment of sticking a needle in your eye as a form of medieval torture (which it is). I have found this process extremely painful and the last one bloodied the left side of my eye for a week and made my vision difficult. I am considering terminating the procedure as it is really gruesome.
UofU Patient April 20, 2016Dr Vitali explained everything to me and answered all my questions.
UofU Patient April 05, 2016dr vitale is the best. he has saved my vision
UofU Patient April 04, 2016Dr. Vitale and his staff are the very best!
UofU Patient April 04, 2016Dr. Votale is the best.
UofU Patient March 31, 2016Dr. Vitale is great. I think he really is trying to help me and I appreciate that. He is always pleasant when he comes in the room to see me.
UofU Patient March 28, 2016Dr. Vitale is kind and interested as well as being a world-class retina specialist.
UofU Patient March 20, 2016Dr. Vitale is great. The frustrating part was trying to be seen sooner than the appointment I had already scheduled. I get that Dr. Vitale's clinic is very busy and I'm not his only patient, but changing my appointment 3 times in 2 days seemed a bit excessive.
UofU Patient March 18, 2016The doctor was impatient and talked down to us. There were issues with the computer program, medications and tests were not ported over from the VA's hospital records correctly. Dr. Vitali was going to have our patient rerun all the lengthy tests that were done just less than 30 days ago. He wouldn't listen to us. He kept talking over us and even snapped at us when we told him what another doctor told us what to do. Luckily the VA's medical records ported over and he ran out to us to change all of his directions on what to do. I'm sure Dr. Vitali is very talented and full of knowledge. However his bedside manner is extremely vital to both the patient as well as the patients family that comes along. All that knowledge gets downgraded and ridiculed when the Doctor is obtuse towards his patients. Please remind him that we are people, not just numbers.
UofU Patient March 13, 2016Have already recommended Dr. Vitale and Moran to several friends
UofU Patient February 27, 201618 months ago Dr. Gibbons had prescribed me glasses with the left eye perscription plano, but giving no explanation for this; nor did his receptionist,when I queried her about this anomaly. A month ago I went for a new perscription; Dr. Gibbons tried, but finally explained that nothing he tried wold help improve my eyesight in the left eye, so he referred me to consultation and a possible steroid shot with Dr. Vitale. Dr. Gibbons spoke a little about the possible causes, but he did not really mention or speculate about possible consequences or possible later improvemente, worsening, etc. Dr. Vitale explaied clearly that I would have shots that day in both eyes (why also in he right eye?), another pair of shots in one month, and further evaluation in two months. I tried to ask about my eyesight; i.e., could i get new glasses and 'be ok' by the tie I will travel to Germany in late May? I didn't articulate this query very well, because Dr. Vitale responded that the APPOINTMENTS would be finished before my trip; however, he didn't say or speculate much about whether my condition should affect my plans or not.
UofU Patient February 22, 2016I recommend the Moran Eye Center to everyone, especially my doctors: Dr. Vitale and Dr. Zabriskie
UofU Patient February 20, 2016Excellent retina specialist
UofU Patient February 08, 2016Dr. Vitale is a very sympathetic man and seems to cares deeply about his patients. He explains everything to you in a way you can understand and in the case where you do not, he will re-explain it in a different way so that you do understand. He takes the time to answer all of your questions and you never feel like you are being rushed out or brushed off.
UofU Patient February 05, 2016I have complete confidence in Dr. Vitale.
UofU Patient January 31, 2016I was upset about a condition unrelated to my primary problem that I was being seen for, but Dr. Vitale was very helpful in explaining it and setting up photography and ultrasound to allay my fears over the secondary problem.
UofU Patient January 19, 2016Dr.Vitale is AMAZING. He always takes such great care of me and explains everything that needs to be done or that is happening.
UofU Patient January 18, 2016good
UofU Patient January 11, 2016Dr Vitale is the best!
UofU Patient December 12, 2015very good to all these questions. could not have been better. I have recommended the clinic to everyone I know who need help with their eyes. Thank you all so much.
UofU Patient December 11, 2015The most friendly Dr and Nurses, I love them all. Merry Christmas
UofU Patient December 04, 2015Still no clear answers on what is going on, but they also don't know what it is.
UofU Patient November 24, 2015Dr Vitale demonstrates an extreme amount of concern, spends more time than your typical physician, and seems to sincerely care about me as a patient. He is an anachronism, and refreshing presence, in today's, "run them through as fast as you can", practice of medicine.
UofU Patient November 06, 2015Dr. Vitale is awesome
UofU Patient October 30, 2015Dr. Vitale is awesome! Absolutely the best! If he wasn't I would have found a new doctor with the amount of wait time I typically have when I come for an appointment. He cares about me as a person not just a patient/paycheck.
UofU Patient August 31, 2015The staff in general seemed to be stressed and perhaps disorganized
UofU Patient August 29, 2015Dr Vitale and his staff always take time to deal with any questions I might have. They tailor things to my needs and care about my comfort and input.
UofU Patient August 04, 2015Dr. Vitale is outstanding in every way.
UofU Patient July 31, 2015Fantastic Dr.
UofU Patient July 30, 2015Excellent to all of the above and more.
UofU Patient July 28, 2015I would recommend Dr. Vitali to anyone. I trust him completely and have total confidence in his abilities.
UofU Patient July 18, 2015Dr. Vitale was a very compassionate and caring doctor.
UofU Patient July 14, 2015Love this guy. He's not only super competent, he's informative, personable, and excellent to work with in all ways.
UofU Patient June 25, 2015Dr. Vitale is outstanding in every way. I met another of his patients this week who agreed that he is amazing
UofU Patient June 23, 2015Dr. Vitale is someone I am truly grateful to have in my life. He is very skilled and I have no doubt that I owe my eyesight to his skilled care. That alone is enough to recommend him highly but that is only part of how he cares for me. He involves me in every decision about my care. He shares his thoughts, weighs the pros and cons all while taking into consideration not only my eyesight but my overall quality of life. Dr. Vitale has comforted me as I have shed many a tear over my diagnosis and all the frustrations that have accompanied it. I truly believe he has my best interest at heart and I trust him completely (something quite rare for me).
UofU Patient May 27, 2015Best Doctor that I have ever seen in my life.
UofU Patient April 28, 2015Dr. Vitale is outstanding in every way.
UofU Patient April 18, 2015Best Dr. Ever
UofU Patient April 16, 2015DR. Vitrelie was wonderful
UofU Patient April 06, 2015Dr. Vitale is the best! I would recommend him to any one! I am grateful to be his patient!
UofU Patient March 25, 2015Dr. Vitale is outstanding in every way.
UofU Patient March 08, 2015Dr. Vitale was very professional also, look at my eyes very carefully.
UofU Patient March 05, 2015I had hoped that Dr. Vitale would have explained things better to me when switching to my new healthcare provider since I am moving and will be seeing a different eye doctor from now on. I also wished that he had talked to me about my medicine and what dosages to follow or if he would keep filling them etc. I will have to call the office to gather all of this information. He seemed to be very hasty with getting done with me and on to the next patient.
UofU Patient March 03, 2015Dr. Vitale and his staff and the BEST! I owe them my eyesight and my eye. I can't say enough good about them.
UofU Patient February 23, 2015On my last visit, not much was said about my care or the plan going forward. I am having a series of injections in both eyes for macular degeneration. I would like to know when another test will be done to determine if these shots are helping.
UofU Patient February 15, 2015I HAVE ASKED ABOUT VIBTAYING LIGHT IMPULSES IN MY EIYES ON TWO OCCASIONS AND EACH TIME THEY RESPONDED WITH SAME QUESTION, DO YOU HAVE MIGRAINS HEADACHES? I EXPOAIN THAT I NORMALLY DO NOT HAVE HEADACHES AND THAT ENDS THE ISSUE. SINCE LAAAT APPT THE IMPULSES HAVE DOUBLED.
UofU Patient February 10, 2015I have utmost respect and appreciation for Dr. Vitale. He has taken care of my eye problems for 10 years. He knows me personally -- studies charts, and considers the best treatment.
UofU Patient February 05, 2015I always learn new and useful information about eyes and my disease from the medical staff. I was expecting changes to my treatment after this visit, but my doctor had information from studies that he learned since our last visit, shared the relevant information, and asked if I'd like to go with the expected changes or to adjust the plan according to the new information. Understanding the benefits of each option made it easy to decide to trust my doctor's expertise.
UofU Patient January 26, 2015after waiting 3 hours the doctor spends 5 minutes with me and goes through a quick exam tells me new dosage and is gone before you can even process what he said.
UofU Patient January 23, 2015Everyone in the clinic, and particularly Dr. Vitale, study coordinator Kim Wegener, the photo technicians (Jim, Paula and others) have been wonderful for the past years during my visits.
UofU Patient January 20, 2015I am thankful for the care I have received from Dr Vitale. I feel as if he has an honest concern for me. He seeks my feedback and makes me a partner in treatment decisions.
UofU Patient January 13, 2015Dr Vitale is outstanding in everything he does
UofU Patient January 13, 2015GOOD
UofU Patient December 26, 2014It was all excellent.
UofU Patient December 07, 2014I know that Dr Vitale is concerned about me keeping my vision. I am very grateful for his knowledge, and care for my problem.
UofU Patient November 27, 2014Good Experience
UofU Patient November 24, 2014Dr Vitale is the outstanding in everything he does
UofU Patient November 24, 2014Dr. Vitale is a great doctor and guy otherwise there is no way I would continually spend the amount of time waiting for him that I do every appointment.
UofU Patient November 23, 2014U recommend it to evereyone.
UofU Patient November 11, 2014Dr. Vitale was patient when my son asked questions and showed concern. Dr. Vitale asked about school and my son's hobbies.
UofU Patient November 02, 2014very please with Doctor and all staff
UofU Patient October 17, 2014provider uses all medicall terminology.. which i understand most of because i work in medical.. but he snaps if he has to repeat and is condescending if u dont understand and not on first appt but second appt.. first appt he wanted to help.. but you still feel he's about to snap.. second appt he didnt care or want to answer questions
UofU Patient October 05, 2014I've been seeing Dr. Vitale for about 8 years and have the utmost confidence in him.
UofU Patient October 03, 2014Dr. Vitale is always very professional and friendly. We chat briefly as he is busy. But it is obvious to me that he is absolutely dedicated to my eye health first and foremost!!!
UofU Patient September 25, 2014Dr. Vitale is kind, caring and has a great knowledge of his field of expertise. I know that I am in the best care when I go to see him, and I have trusted him with my eyesight for the last several years. Without his help, I am sure I would be blind by now. I am very thankful that he is there and that I can be one of his patients! I am also thankful that he is sharing his knowledge with young doctors, so they can also take care of people. Dr. Vitale is definitely one of my heroes!
UofU Patient September 25, 2014Doctors Vitale and Zabriskie are awesome.
UofU Patient September 22, 2014I have trusted Dr. Vitale's decisions regarding my vision for close to 10 years now, and with his dedication, compassion, and knowledge we have not only maintained my eyesight, but improve it! I am thankful for each and everyday I can see.
UofU Patient September 21, 2014I know my eyes are in the best care with Dr. Vitale. I am facing the reality that I may go blind (and this is terrifying), but I know that that this provider is truly concerned about my vision.
UofU Patient September 19, 2014The doctor giving the shot was only with me long enough to put the device to hold my eye open and give the shot itself. He did not talk to me other then to introduce himself. The nurse did not spend more time with me either but did walk me out to the front to schedule my next appointment. No one seemed concerned about whether I had any questions.
UofU Patient September 13, 2014excellent Staff and Dr. Vitale is the greatest
UofU Patient September 11, 2014Dr. Vitale is always very thorough in explaining the treatments and what options are available for treatment should this form not work. I feel confident in his diagnosis and his genuine concern for me as an individual.
UofU Patient September 05, 2014Very caring, kind and excellent! I am extremely grateful for my doctors at the Moran!
UofU Patient August 28, 2014Vitale is a good professional
UofU Patient August 26, 2014Dr Vitale is top notch in every way
UofU Patient August 25, 2014I forgot to ask if I was to continue the eye drops. I will call in when the prescription refill runs out.
UofU Patient August 06, 2014I cannot say enough good things about Dr Vitale and his staff. Dr Vitale has a way of making me feel completely comfortable. He is confident, reassuring and kind.
UofU Patient July 18, 2014Several professionals att6ended me during the course of my appointment, all of who were competent and kind. I would have liked Dr Vitale to have spent a little more time with me, however.
UofU Patient July 17, 2014Dr. Vitale and staff all were very helpful and informative every step of my visit.
UofU Patient July 02, 2014Dr Vitale and his office techs are the greatest! which is why I travel from Nevada or Idaho to go to John Moran, I have the utmost confidence in my treatment plan and care from my team of doctors!
UofU Patient June 26, 2014GOOD VISIT
UofU Patient June 10, 2014Dr Vitale is the very best
UofU Patient June 05, 2014I have recommended this Doctor and office to anyone having problems such as mine.
UofU Patient June 01, 2014dr vitali was amazing informative and sincere
UofU Patient May 15, 2014good
UofU Patient May 10, 2014I think Dr. Vitale is fabulous. He is calm and unassuming. He is kind and soft-spoken but makes me feel like he really cares about me and that I can trust him, even though I know he has tons of other patients waiting for him. He and Dr. Warner at Moran are the best doctors I have ever been to by far...and I have been to a lot!
UofU Patient May 07, 2014Dr Vitale is excellent in every way
UofU Patient May 05, 2014Good
UofU Patient April 29, 2014I have been a patient of Dr. Vitale for several years. Because of his expertise, I am able to see today. I have great confidence in his abilities. I feel he is a kind, and compassionate doctor. He is a wonderful doctor and my husband and I consider him our friend.
UofU Patient April 15, 2014very sharp individuals, great explanations. brought in other Dr.s for opinions. I am confident Dr. Vitale will find out what this is.....
UofU Patient April 12, 2014I love the EPIC system that the U is using. I would recommend that the provider speaks to the patient instead of just to the scribe in the room. It was weird that he was talking to the scribe as if I wasn't there. He was describing how "serious" my problem was to the scribe to put in the computer before telling me I had a problem! He then turned to me and said "you have very serious eye damage". I said, "I know, I just heard you tell the scribe that, and watched her type it into my chart before you told me". weird
UofU Patient March 30, 2014generally good
UofU Patient March 25, 2014Thought team were interested and I did feel confident that condition was understood.
UofU Patient March 24, 2014I wish I was given more information about other medications besides the one that I'm on that has birth defects possible. I'm a young married women and you would think that a doctor would be worried about me being on this medicine. I always ask about other options and it is never addressed with real concern.
UofU Patient March 24, 2014The staff were awesome.
UofU Patient March 20, 2014Fantastic doctor and human being. Can't express my trust in this doctor enough. Knowledgeable and personable.
UofU Patient January 27, 2014Moran Eye saved my vision. Dr V is very informative and attentive I trust his expert opinion and feel he has my best interest at heart. I never feel rushed and he addresses any concerns I may have.
UofU Patient January 27, 2014Dr Vitale is the greatest. Very knowledable and caring, best in every way
UofU Patient January 26, 2014The care provider is an excellent professional, not only in regards to knowledge, but "bed-side" manners as well.
UofU Patient January 21, 2014Dr. Vitale and his staff are excellent and so kind. I could not ask fore a better doctor. I believe he saved my eye sight in my right eye. I am so Thankful
UofU Patient January 19, 2014Dr. Vitale is really nice
UofU Patient January 13, 2014I am fortunate to have Dr. Vitale as my doctor. He is excellent, caring, and I appreciate him.
UofU Patient January 13, 2014Dr. Vitale is so attentive and kind. His knowledge and skills are so appreciated.
UofU Patient January 10, 2014we are fortunate that Dr. Vitale is here in Utah to share his expertise with us.
UofU Patient January 09, 2014The clinic was very good and Dr Vitale was informative and consistent in his care. He instructed and assisted in understanding the diagnosis and care. Am very happy that my husband and I were able to fine him and be under his care.
UofU Patient January 07, 2014all is fine and professional and caring.. I thank the whole department
UofU Patient December 24, 2013Dr Vitale is amazing, extremely competent and very caring
UofU Patient December 13, 2013excellent Doctors especial Dr. Vitale
UofU Patient November 28, 2013Dr. was interested in the well being of patient
UofU Patient November 15, 2013I am very pleased with my doctor, Dr. Vitalie.
UofU Patient November 15, 2013We, and so many others, are blessed with the excellent care given to us at Dr Vitale's clinic.
UofU Patient November 14, 2013He noticed I was stressed and seemed caring about what I was stressed about. I appreciated that because that doesn't always happen with doctors. He read my body language to be able to tell. I don't think I was exuding stress or anything, but he picked it up. Very appreciated.
UofU Patient November 11, 2013Dr. Vitale is great. He is incredibly intelligent, he cares about his patients and I love his dry wit. :) He's good at discussing options and possible problems down the road. It makes me not quite as nervous because he tells me so much.
UofU Patient October 24, 2013Dr Vitale and his associates are outstanding
UofU Patient October 23, 2013You don't have a number high enough on your scale to describe the level of confidence I have in Dr. Vatale!
UofU Patient October 21, 2013Dr. Vitale was very comforting and reassured us that he would take good care of the patient, as he always has.
UofU Patient October 21, 2013Many things were told to an assistant as if I wasn't even in the room. I asked for normal speak citing I wasn't current on medical terminology involving the eyes and was completely ignored. I trust Dr. Vitale so I am just going to assume that since he didn't need to see me for a year, all the notes he made aren't about a problem I need to be concerned with now. I was instructed on what things to watch for and to return to the clinic sooner if anything changed.
UofU Patient October 21, 2013I have the highest regard for the staff at Moran and would always recommend your facility above any other. Thank you!!!
UofU Patient October 04, 2013Dr Vitale is great!
UofU Patient September 30, 2013Dr Vitale is fantastic. He is always very caring and understanding when I ask questions.
UofU Patient September 23, 2013I WAS NEVER EXPLAINED ABOIUT THE CONFUSION MU APPOINTMENT TIME . I WAS LEFT T;HINKING IT WAS ABOIUT MENEY
UofU Patient September 21, 2013There is no question that Dr. Vitale is an excellent doctor. I trust him. His bedside manner has improved and he tries in that area. However, I have been a patient of his for 6-7 years and the wait times are always deplorable.
UofU Patient September 09, 2013There is always a wait time when I am here.. That is just the way it has always been. We are working with someone who specializes in this disease and that takes time. I have been going to the Moran Eye Center for nearly 14 years and have always received the best care. Dr Vitale has been my doctor for at least 10 of these years. I recently just learned that I have to have eye surgery and I am getting married in 3 weeks... So bummed but feel so good to know that Dr Vitale will take care of me. Dr Vitale and everyone on his team feel more like a family and that is the kind of care I want and need. I have never been unhappy with my care and I know I am getting the best of the best. Thank you to all of you at the Moran Eye Center!! Good job!
UofU Patient September 04, 2013We are always bragging on the team at Dr Vitale's office
UofU Patient September 03, 2013I have the utmost confidence in Dr. Vitale.
UofU Patient September 02, 2013Dr Vitale is always great.
UofU Patient September 02, 2013Dr. Vitale is great.
UofU Patient August 28, 2013Vitale was very good
UofU Patient August 27, 2013it was not clear if the doctor had looked closely at my medical history; it was clear he had not looked at the new patient intake form -- I had to repeat the same information re: med history to 3-4 different people -- all of this while my eyes are dilated and I can't see my notes -- this is A LOT to ask of a patient who has a complex medical history.
UofU Patient August 26, 2013There was lots of discussion between the staff about all the tests that needed to be given and how to fill out the new computer program that the "U" has just installed. I did not need to be in the room for most of it. I had to find my way to the testing areas. It is good I had a good memory as If I had forgotten I would have had to go back to ask where I was to go. It was not written down.
UofU Patient July 04, 2013Super in all ways
UofU Patient June 10, 2013Dr. Vitale is beyond very good, he is excellent.
UofU Patient June 07, 2013All good. They made me feel special!
UofU Patient June 06, 2013I have seen Dr. Vitale for the last seven years. I accredit him with saving the eyesight in my left eye. I couldn't be more pleased with his care. Also the staff who works with him are great. I have had a similar experience with Dr. Mamalis and his staff for my cataract surgery. Thank you all!
UofU Patient June 05, 2013Dr. Vitale is always in a rush whenever I meet with him; I wish that there was a more patient uveitis specialist that I could see.
UofU Patient May 23, 2013Doctor A. Vitale does not generally share understandable information with the patient/care giver, has an impatient, condescending attitude toward patient/care giver - however he is obviously an experienced expert in hius field. I guess you can't have it all, huh?
UofU Patient April 30, 2013Dr Vitale is an excellent doctor. Takes good care of my daughter.
UofU Patient April 27, 2013I like both Dr. Shakoor and Dr. Vitale. Both seem to be completely competent.
UofU Patient April 10, 2013We are never treated like "just another patient," but with true concern for who I am and how my problem effects me. Great care, great treatment.
UofU Patient April 04, 2013I would recommend others to the Moran Eye center if they needed to receive treatment and were trying to decide which hospital to go to. I have been treated so well here, and I am very appreciative. Thank you!!
UofU Patient April 04, 2013He was very down to earth, which was nice. He seemed a little frustrated, but that is understandable since my daughter was not cooperating at all. I felt he really knew what he was talking about, and thought of questions to ask after the fact so I will hopefully get to ask those next week!
UofU Patient April 01, 2013The best there is. Thank you Thank you Thank you
UofU Patient March 28, 2013very good
UofU Patient March 21, 2013I would have preferred my medication instructions were written down instead of just given to me verbally.
UofU Patient March 21, 2013Dr Vitale is amazing. He always answers my questions clearly and seems concerned about my care.
UofU Patient March 20, 2013we have seen multiple doctors at the redwood moran and have received excellent care from all
UofU Patient March 18, 2013moran is a class act and dr vitale is comprehensive in his explanation re: problem and solution. plus, he's a fabulous person
UofU Patient March 14, 2013I am not sure Dr. Vitale understands how important it is for me to treat a flair up of iritis immediately when it begins! He was unwilling to prescribe the medicine I need to stop it before it gets bad. If I was out of town and had to wait several days to treat a flair up, it could do serious and permanent damage to my eye. He should trust that I know what is going on and give me the medicine I need to treat it as soon as it begins!
UofU Patient March 14, 2013Dr/ Vitale is the best doctor for my condition and he has always treated me with kindness and in a professional way. I consider him a friend as well as my physician.
UofU Patient March 11, 2013Dr. Vitale and his assistants gave clear explanations of my diagnoses, and were warm and concerned about my condition.
UofU Patient February 25, 2013Dr. Vitale always provides the best of care and is genuinely interested in the outcome of treatment
UofU Patient February 14, 2013I did feel that he was very concerned and thoroughly checked my eye for anything unusual. He explained very well what he saw and what his concerns were.
UofU Patient February 14, 2013Dr. Vitale is the only doctor I trust with my eyes. He has saved me from going completely blind and has always shown an incredible amount of concern for my health. He has been very informative, and is always quick to offer multiple solutions to any problem I might have. I can recommend no doctor more highly than him for anyone wishing to receive the best possible care.
UofU Patient February 10, 2013always takes time for my questions and concerns...very concerned about my condition and recovery
UofU Patient February 10, 2013excellent provider
UofU Patient January 28, 2013Excellent Doctors. I now know I came to the right place for treatment !!!!!
UofU Patient January 27, 2013My son has been seen by Dr. Vitale for the last 6 years, and we have nothing but respect and gratitude for the treatment and care he provides. We feel 100% confident in his abilities, and feel lucky to have access to such an expert.
UofU Patient January 21, 2013I felt as though the appointment was very rushed and did not leave time for much discussion on options of treatment.
UofU Patient January 18, 2013Dr. Vitale is amazing.
UofU Patient January 07, 2013I just felt blown off
UofU Patient December 20, 2012We have consistently had a great experience with Dr. Vitale
UofU Patient December 18, 2012Great staff, from start to finish!
UofU Patient December 17, 2012I was extremely pleased with both Dr. Hobbs and Dr. Vitale - I felt confident about their decisons and comfortable that they were qualified to proceed with all procedures.
UofU Patient December 04, 2012Once I got to Dr. Vitale, my medical experience was good though he didn't seem to care about the long wait either. While it is his job to be in the clinic all day, it is not mine. When I told him I was upset that I had been required to spend days going to 4 different clinics and hours on the phone with insurance to make sure all the labs that he requested were drawn and tested in aa way that they would be covered, his response was "Well, you wanted an assessment didn't you?". He didn't even have the results. So, no, I had not been assessed but I had been run around town.
UofU Patient December 03, 2012I saw Dr. Vitale and Dr. Hobbs, his fellow. They were reassuring and thorough. They double-checked everything and I feel like they know what they are doing. Since it was Dr. Hobbs who performed my laser retinopexy procedure after an emergency room visit, I was glad he came in to discuss it with Dr. Vitale.
UofU Patient November 26, 2012Dr. Vitale has always been very friendly and professional. I feel very confident in his abilities and enjoy being one of his patients.
UofU Patient November 01, 2012I feel very confident that my condition is being carefully diagnosed.
UofU Patient November 01, 2012Good and lots of care
UofU Patient October 26, 2012Thanks
UofU Patient September 24, 2012I wish he talked more and explained more of why they were performing specific tests. I was worried about my eyes and didn't feel like I understood if I should be worried or not worry much at all. I wanted reassurance or a plan of where we were headed to find out what was wrong. I think he was just very quiet and didn't talk very much to me. But I have confidence in his abilities as a doctor and think he is a good doctor and is trying to figure out what is wrong.
UofU Patient September 17, 2012Dr. Vitale is excellent in giving the care I need. The injection in my eye didn't hurt and I was comfortable during the procedure and after leaving the office. His staff is excellent and all try hard to give the best care.
UofU Patient September 14, 2012Very good experience.
UofU Patient July 26, 2012Total time at my appointment on that particular daywas 3 hours. Far too long to wait at any age.
UofU Patient July 18, 2012Dr. Vitale was fantastic to work with. He brought in other specialists to help find a diagnosis for me, thouroughly explained the injection for my eye, and spent a lot of time examining me.
UofU Patient July 16, 2012Our care provider was excellent! Happy, knowledgeable and very efficient!
UofU Patient July 01, 2012Absolutely love Dr. Vitals and am very comfortable with his diagnosis and treatment plan. He has always showed a level of great concern and compassion for my situation and has made me feel comfortable even though the outcome of any and all treatments are
UofU Patient June 28, 2012An excellent experience, as always. I trust Dr. Vitale implicitly, and know he has my best interests and well being in mind at all times.
UofU Patient June 28, 2012Thank you for cutting through the red tape so I could see Dr. Frech.
UofU Patient June 27, 2012Following an ocular tap, I was unable to see out of my left. This condition somewhat temporary and an unexpected consequence of the procedure. Dr. Vitale showed great concern about this keeping me in the clinic an extra amount of time examining me several times before releasing me, with the assurance that the condition was temporary. Dr. Vitale asked me a few days later how I was doing and I assured him by phone that I thought the post-procedure condition was clearing up and my site seemed to be returning, accept for the blind spot I went to see him regarding, of course.
UofU Patient June 26, 2012I feel confident in the physician's ability to treat the illness, but not the patient. He doesn't seem to recognize the impact of the cost of tests that are ordered or medications that are prescribed. He also doesn't seem to notice inconveniences patients endure.
UofU Patient June 25, 2012I recommend Dr Vitale to others all the time. We have so much confidence in him and his staff; "very good" isn't adequate when describing the amount of confidence we have in each person that has touched our lives while we are in his office. Each person is truely engaged with us.
UofU Patient June 22, 2012I think the Drs. are exceptional!
UofU Patient June 21, 2012everyone we met was a learning experience and so informative. Dr. Vitale explained everything and made sure we were comfortable and understood what was happening.
UofU Patient June 20, 2012All a very good experience except wait time after my eyes were dilated.
UofU Patient June 20, 2012Dr. Vitale was very busy and could only spend about 10 minutes with us.
UofU Patient June 14, 2012If there was a category higher than very good I would check it!
UofU Patient June 11, 2012Dr. Vitale is a top notch doctor, but between the scheduling, travel, and wait times, I would definately return to my doctor in Ogden if that were an option.
UofU Patient June 10, 2012I travel from Nevada so I can remain under the care and guidance of Dr. Vitale and the staff at Moran Eye Center. I have great confidence in their care and ability to treat my issues. I will continue to remain under their care as long as necessary.
UofU Patient June 07, 2012The doctor was much more empathetic this visit than ever before regarding my wife's concerns about her prescribed medicine's side effects. However, generally he has not advised us of any medicine's side effects when he prescribes them. We have to look up the information online about her medicines and then discuss it with him later. He is so busy that he never can spend enough time with us. This is a continual weakness in the Moran Eye Center's operations. If I ran my business with this poor method of work flow and lack of customer service I would have gone under long ago. I have mentioned these concerns before and the situation has actually gotten worse.
UofU Patient June 05, 2012I am very pleased with the care I get there, and have great confidence in Dr. Vitale.
UofU Patient May 21, 2012I only saw Dr. Vitale for about 15 minutes so I'm thinking about him when answering these questions.
UofU Patient May 03, 2012Good
UofU Patient April 23, 2012The doctor seems harried, hurried, and distracted, probably because he is over-scheduled.
UofU Patient April 23, 2012DR VITALLI IS AN EXCELLENT DOCTOR AND KNOWS HIS STUFF.
UofU Patient April 23, 2012We trust the Doctor
UofU Patient April 19, 2012I've recommended Dr. Vitale and the Moran Eye Center several times.
UofU Patient April 19, 2012I felt that he was in a hurry, and that he had others with more pressing problems.
UofU Patient April 11, 2012Dr. Vitale provides the best care and concern possible for me. I can't say enough good about him!
UofU Patient April 11, 2012Care proviider is always very sensitive to concerns and care.
UofU Patient April 06, 2012doc. found my problem, when no other eye doc could
UofU Patient April 06, 2012Dr. Vitale was excellent. This appointment was difficult and even emotional as we had to make some challenging decisions for the proper care. Physician spent a lot of time explaining and helping us understand. They were compassionate and respectful. I am very grateful for this!
UofU Patient April 05, 2012Very happy with my visits.
UofU Patient March 30, 2012I love Dr Vitale. He is very good, thorough and concerned about your problem.
UofU Patient March 29, 2012Dr. Vitale, very professional and courteous
UofU Patient March 22, 2012He gave me the instruction/information print-out that went with the new medication they used and was exteremely competent in administering the shot.
UofU Patient March 05, 2012He explained that I would be takimg the drops in my left eye and I wondered why not in both eyes. but I didn.t ask. The doctors checked and rechecked my eyes and that was a comforting feeling.
UofU Patient March 01, 2012Dr. Vitale is the very best. He is obviously very competent as well as most courteous, attentive and most helpful. It was an extraordinary visit. I can't say enough about how positive it was.
UofU Patient February 27, 2012I love my doctor and he always takes good care of me.
UofU Patient February 27, 2012everyone has always been excellent for me
UofU Patient February 17, 2012I feel fortunate to see Dr. Vitalie
UofU Patient February 03, 2012Great at treating the disease. Not so great treating the patient.
UofU Patient February 03, 2012I was refered to another provider but not given any information, do I call them, do they know I'm coming, do they need to transfer my records, do I need to chase down my records, I guess I just google the name and see what happens?
UofU Patient January 13, 2012I know I need some tests done, but the waiting period before my insurance will cover my pre-existing condition has just begun. The doctor is very good about letting me know I can wait to have those tests done until insurance will cover it, and that the delay will not have a harmful effect on my condition.
UofU Patient January 09, 2012I'm very happy in every way with the care I have received through the years with Dr. Vitale and staff.
UofU Patient January 05, 2012Totally Great Experience
UofU Patient January 05, 2012The doctor is very knowledgeable and capable. However, my questions are not answered in full, my ability to communicate my concerns are hampered by his hurried approach. I feel it is difficult to make him understand my concerns, it is much easier to tell them to the technician. Of course the technician cannot advise me. I wish he would take a few minutes to listen to me describe my personal observations with the treatment.
