He possesses strong interpersonal skills, emotional intelligence and his bedside manners are second to none.

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.

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.

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.

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.
