Dr. Tandar is , by far, is the most caring, knowledgeable,responsive, dedicated and highly regraded provider by all his patients. I ,for one, am deeply grateful to him for looking into every possible way to maintain my health condition in top shape. He possesses strong interpersonal skills, emotional intelligence and his bedside manners are second to none. In my entire life, I have never met a physician who is so passionate about helping his patients and going out of his way to look into every possible way to help his patients. As I have stated repeatedly in the past, he is an absolute asset to this hospital and entire University of Utah. The way he interacts with his team members is a clear reflection of his integrity, respect for all, effective coaching and mentoring and it is incredible to observe the respect that his team members have for him. When you email Dr. Tandar ,through my chart and have a question about your condition, he responds immediately and always there to assist everyone. Please extend my deepest gratitude to him. You will always be number one due to a great provider like him and no matter how much IHC tries, they can never catch up with your institution.

This wonderful provider is always available to his patient around the clock. He possesses strong bedside manner, effective communication skills and truly cares for those who need his help and expertise the most. He should be the one who coaches and mentors other providers, as he puts his heart and soul in helping others and his level of care and concern are second to none. The Cardiology Department and the University Hospital should be proud to have this wonderful human being with such incredible clinical expertise , love and concern for others working for them. Please extend my deepest appreciation to him, as he has been instrumental in maintaining my health and providing me with sound and sage advice and recommendations.

Dr. Tandar is truly a gifted, compassionate, caring and highly dedicated provider at this institution. His knowledge, abilities and skills are unmatched. More importantly, this wonderful human being possesses great interpersonal skills and emotional intelligence. In my entire life I have never met a physician who cares so much about his patients and communicate with them regarding their health care issues so effectively and with empathy, compassion and caring manners. I looked for a place to park for almost forty five minutes and consequently late and yet, he was thoughtful enough to grant me the opportunity to see him the same day. The U Hospital will always be the best health care setting due to dedication and selfless efforts of great providers like him. Please extend my thanks to him for being such exemplary human being and provider. He is the best and most caring physician at the U Hospital. Ms. Irene Cheong is always available around the clock to shar my lab results via My Chart with me and always answer my questions. She is the reason that I visit the U Hospital despite parking being a nightmare. Please let her know that I believe she is a gem of a human being.

If there is an on-boarding or orientation for other physicians, then he should be asked to educate them on skills and abilities associated with bedside manners, emotional intelligence and effective patient care. This man is an absolute asset to your organization. He responds to each and every call or My Chart emails immediately.

Please share this note with the Cardiology Chair so that he would know what a gem this provider is. Thank you for asking my input.It is because of surveys like this that I have seen such great improvement in patient care. Anyone who tells you that patients' feedback is not valuable is an incompetent provider!!! Thank you

UofU Patient November 30, 2017

i have complete confidence in Dr. Tandar. he saved my life and has long been a creative, concerned partner in my care. today, there was a second doctor in the room, who also looked at my hands and asked a few questions. It is best, I think, to take a moment to introduce new people & explain their positions. after the doctors left, I was able to ask Kelsee, PA, if the unknown man was a fellow? He was. I still don't know his name or if I will see him again. it was an odd encounter.

Please recognize his gift and the efforts he extends towards his patients.
