UofU Patient August 13, 2016
I love my care providers. The doctor and all of those who work with him have always made me feel safe, like a family member.
UofU Patient August 11, 2016I would definitely recommend Dr. Soisson to anyone, and everyone. He made a very scary situation, bearable. He took the time to sit down with me, and explain what to expect. He was very approachable, and showed interest and concern in each of my questions. He gave me options for my procedure, and allowed me the freedom to choose what I felt would be best for me. I am so grateful for Dr. Soisson, and his expertise! I cannot say enough good about him!
UofU Patient August 10, 2016Loved the personal attention!
UofU Patient August 02, 2016Excellent clinic.
UofU Patient July 26, 2016I realize I got some of the best cancer care available in the country and for some of the top-ranked centers that would have been enough. But here they cared about my feelings and my dignity. It's hard to have young doctors and nurses watching while you receive a vaginal exam, but it was always done respectfully. I was never talked down to or my questions dismissed. And at the end of this very hard year, I'm walking away with a cure. I guess this is why Huntsman is one of the best cancer centers in the country.
UofU Patient July 16, 2016Dr. Soisson was so friendly and caring. He took the time to go over all of my options for treatment and then advised me on what advice he would give if I were his daughter. I honestly felt like he truly cared about me as a person. Not just another patient.
UofU Patient July 12, 2016I love dr.Sorensen I couldn't ask for a better doctor.He always comes in and holds my hand, which maks me feel at ease.He has great personality.he is a good man
UofU Patient July 09, 2016the first visit the care provider was great, and interns were introduced. the doctor explained in detail and was very good to answer questions. the follow up visit after surgery was very short, looked at my stitches, said everything was good and left. the interns in follow up were different and no introductions. I was no given an opportunity to ask any questions, there were no questions answered by physician. the nurses and ma after physician left were very good to answer questions. the first visit with physician was very good, the second visit with physician was not so much. the staff, nurses, MA and interns in office and hospital were very attentive and very good.
UofU Patient July 05, 2016Dr. Soisson is an excellent Doctor, very caring showing interest and compassion for me. I would definitely refer him to anyone needing treatment. Cancer is a terrible thing but if you have it, then the best place to be is at Huntsmans, and if it's uterine cancer then the best Doctor to have is Dr. Soisson. I'm very glad he is my Doctor.
UofU Patient July 05, 2016Dr. Soisson is truly one of a kind. Thank you!
UofU Patient June 26, 2016I am not fond of many doctors. I trust Dr Soisson and he is also very caring.
UofU Patient June 20, 2016It was a positive experience.
UofU Patient June 05, 2016Everyone is very nice and helpful.
UofU Patient May 28, 2016Dr. Soissen will forever be my hero, he saved my life twice and I will tell anyone who ever asks that this is the only place to be when you get such a diagnoses.
UofU Patient May 22, 2016omg my dr explained everything to me made me feel comfortable with my treatment
UofU Patient May 21, 2016Have so appreciated the care given over the past 5 years. Concern seems sincere.
UofU Patient May 17, 2016All first rate people, care, and the dearest doctor with massive expertise. I come to Huntsman all the way from Prescott, AZ. It is not easy nor free, but you all give me the sense that I am well cared for.
UofU Patient May 16, 2016good experience
UofU Patient May 15, 2016I love Dr.Soisson! He has always provided excellent care & concern about my health.I have been coming to the Huntsman for the last 10 years. The Huntsman is to me the only place to go if you have cancer.
UofU Patient May 14, 2016Dr. Soisson seems to have a particular communication style and he is unable to listen to a patient and adapt to their needs.
UofU Patient May 13, 2016the dr was kind respectful and remembered me, the exam was quick and he was very professional and that is good with the type of exam I had.
UofU Patient May 06, 2016Dr. Soisson really cares how well I'm doing. He engages and explains things quite well, when things aren't as good as I want them to be he seems to really wish things had gone better for me. Seems quite compassionate, and is a skilled doctor.
UofU Patient April 30, 2016it would be really nice to have a short - perhaps five minute - time period specifically set aside to ask questions and address concerns. it's a little bit hard to ask those questions and have that discussion during a follow up pelvic exam.
UofU Patient April 29, 2016I am very impressed with Dr. Soisson and am very pleased that he is my doctor/surgeon. I feel that I am in very good hands, the very best hands. He came in with authority and made me feel so positive. He gave me plenty of time to ask questions and answered them all in manner that I understood. He showed a great deal of professionalism , care and concern for me. He made me feel important and that he and his team would do their very best for me. I was very impressed with the way I was treated and it was a very good experience considering the reason I was there. I am glad he is my Doctor, and am grateful for the team that have been assigned to me, it is really nice to have people assigned to you so you always have someone you feel you know you can call, instead of being passed from one person to another.
UofU Patient April 24, 2016SUPERB!
UofU Patient April 12, 2016I did leave not sure of whether or not my exam provide the results he needed to determine if my cancer was gone. Not sure what he assessed through his brief exam. I could have asked more questions, just didn't know what to ask (first time I've had this kind of situation.)
UofU Patient April 01, 2016I feel very fortunate to have Dr Soisson as my doctor.
UofU Patient March 26, 2016Dr Soisson is the best! I am so grateful that he is my Dr. It is rare to find a Dr. that is not only VERY competent, but so down to earth and friendly. He isn't rushing to get to the next patient, he explains everything that is going on and he knows so much about his field.
UofU Patient March 08, 2016All of the providers seemed to be very thorough. They went over a lot of things on my first visit that was a bit overwhelming, but by doing so my surgery was set and all went quickly from there.
UofU Patient March 03, 2016Great doctor! Really spent a lot of time with me explaining what was going on. Compassionate and caring.
UofU Patient February 28, 2016I was very impressed by the work you provided by getting tests and appointments for me. The staff were very helpful with the pre and post surgery needs.
UofU Patient February 20, 2016I was not scared to ask me questions
UofU Patient February 16, 2016Dr. Soison was very informative and set both myself and my husband at ease. He spoke so quickly it was hard to break in to express my concerns about surgery and my sensitivity to anesthesia. When I finally did get a chance to speak, he listened and then sent me up to the surgery floor to speak to an anesthesiologist but none were available. I only spoke with a nurse and nurse practitioner. Both were very nice.
UofU Patient February 11, 2016It took me an hour and a half to drive to and from this appointment but the doctor only spent 3 min. with me and acted very rushed. He gave me the minimum results on my pathology. My chart gave me more details then the doctor did.
UofU Patient February 08, 2016Was very impressed with my first visit.
UofU Patient February 08, 2016I am so thankful for the exceptional care Dr. Soisson has given me.
UofU Patient January 31, 2016The Doctor is always patient, courteous, and informative.
UofU Patient January 16, 2016Dr. Soisson and the other doctors, nurses, etc. were great. I appreciated the explanations and his positivity.
UofU Patient January 15, 2016You are all very much appreciated. And I am lucky our paths have crossed ...
UofU Patient January 10, 2016DR SOISSON VERY GOOD
UofU Patient January 09, 2016Everyone was very friendly and knowledgable
UofU Patient January 06, 2016Dr. Soisson explain my condition in a language I understood. He is a very caring and kind Doctor and I am so grateful he is my doctor.
UofU Patient December 18, 2015Does not listen to me. Rushes through the appointment and interrupts and acts like his time is way more important than listening to me and allowing me to ask questions.
UofU Patient December 15, 2015Doctor soisson is amazing and does an amazing job
UofU Patient December 07, 2015Dr Soisson was very kind and explained all details for my treatment. His staff are all very caring and kind.
UofU Patient November 29, 2015The doctor talked to me like he was talking to a little kid. It was very disappointing. I did not learn anything.
UofU Patient November 25, 2015my doctor 'stepped out into the hall' and I did not see him again. I did not get to ask questions or discuss concerns - after driving 8 hours to get to Salt lake.
UofU Patient November 24, 2015The dr. always spends the right amount of time with me and quickly addresses any concerns.
UofU Patient November 22, 2015I love Dr. Soisson & he is a great MD, but he cuts me off when he is in a hurry to walk out.
UofU Patient November 15, 2015Dr. Soisson was phenomenal in terms of expertise, bedside manner, and artistic talents. Best impromptu vaginal drawing ever.
UofU Patient November 08, 2015Dr. Soisson is the best doctor on earth!
UofU Patient November 05, 2015Dr Soisson is always amazingly personable and interested in me ...he answers my questions even when they May or may not be very pertinent
UofU Patient October 26, 2015Dr sossion is a wonderful person.
UofU Patient October 19, 2015Dr. Soisson and his staff were very caring and attentive to my concerns.
UofU Patient October 15, 2015I am just grateful to receive care here. Thank you!
UofU Patient October 13, 2015Outstanding
UofU Patient October 12, 2015Great care providers.
UofU Patient October 09, 2015dr Soissan was amazing. he took an overwhelming and stressful situation and toned it down by explaining what was going on and the pros and cons of surgery
UofU Patient October 05, 2015I tell everyone how Huntsman is great from the front desk. To valet drivers. How great the doctors are.
UofU Patient September 11, 2015I really like Dr. Soisson. He seems very concerned about my problem and answers all my questions.
UofU Patient September 07, 2015very good
UofU Patient September 01, 2015Dr. Soisson is excellent. Very professional and very kind.
UofU Patient August 21, 2015need comfort - received comfort
UofU Patient August 10, 20155 Stars to all!! The whole team that I had were the best! I couldn't have asked for a better group of people to take such good care of me.
UofU Patient August 09, 2015Dr. Soisson has been very good about explaining what is going on. He has been very frank and up front from the beginning. His Residents are well trained.
UofU Patient July 31, 2015I am extremely pleased with Dr. Soisson, as well as the Breast Health Clinic.
UofU Patient July 23, 2015I cannot imagine a better or nicer visit. Every person on the team showed knowledge, kindness, concern, and warmth.
UofU Patient July 20, 2015Good experience, but went home feeling pretty scared after learning more about ovarian cancer.
UofU Patient July 20, 2015Most helpful and cordial. All went well.
UofU Patient July 05, 2015You rock! I really appreciate your respect for everyone's time.
UofU Patient June 17, 2015Dr Soisson is very personable and caring. he always answers all of my questions with kindness and expertise.
UofU Patient May 24, 2015My doctor has put my family and my mine at ease about my cancer surgery! He is very caring and talked me through every thing. He answered all the questions that we had and made sure we understood every thing! He is wonderful to say the least!
UofU Patient May 20, 2015My care provider is wonderful. He always makes me feel at ease whenever I come for a check-up. I had stage 3c ovarian cancer.
UofU Patient May 19, 2015Very reassuring bout current situation and informative about need for future checkups.
UofU Patient May 19, 2015dr. Soisson is a blessing and a help
UofU Patient May 15, 2015He took the time to explain the results clearly and discuss options. Surgery was scheduled without delay and surgery procedures were explained in detail.
UofU Patient May 13, 2015Dr. Soisson is the best. He always makes you feel so comfortable. He has such reassuring words.
UofU Patient May 13, 2015I don't know how to express my gratitude to Dr. Soissen in words and have it equal what is in my heart. From day one he was kind and reassuring. He didn't make me ask for information, he explained every thing and my options and let me be in change of my treatment. When ii had questions or concerns he would sit with me, take my hands in his and talk with for as long as I needed. If it were possible to make cancer a light burden to carry, he and Mary did that for me because I knew there I was safe and being treated by a Dr. and staff that were going to do everything they could to not just save my life, but actually improve. Because of his knowledge and compassion and skills Dr. Soissen did just that. I not only have my life but I have a better quality of life because of him and the institute and the things I learn there everyone I come.
UofU Patient May 03, 2015Dr. Soisson is always the best--lots of energy, happy to greet and care for patients, and provides the best care.He also consults with a team of doctors on what care patients should receive if necessary. He gives informed advise on care.
UofU Patient April 18, 2015My care team couldn't be better.
UofU Patient March 27, 2015You're the best
UofU Patient March 19, 2015The Dr. is always kind, & concerned about my comfort. He is wonderful about explaining things & has never seemed like he is in a hurry, or that he doesn't have time for me. I've never had a Dr. treat me so well, let alone a Surgeon. He's amazing.
UofU Patient March 05, 2015Always want more time because of the level of concern I receive.
UofU Patient February 24, 2015I feel very confident in - and comfortable with - my doctors and the support staff in the clinic.
UofU Patient February 22, 2015I have complete confidence in Dr. Soisson and his treatment.
UofU Patient February 18, 2015I really liked Dr. Soisson the first time I went in to see him, but all three visits now feel like I was seeing a drive-by doctor. He was in and out before I had a chance to tell him all of my symptoms and ask all of my questions. Even after I had the nurse track him down to answer a few of them, I felt like I was getting generic answers. While he was in the room with me, I got the feeling he was trying to reassure me that I wasn't dying tomorrow, and that was never a concern. In the future, I'll go to a doctor that has the time to listen to what I have to say and then base his diagnosis on that information.
UofU Patient February 10, 2015Would highly recommend!
UofU Patient February 07, 2015the doctors were very kind and nice to meet
UofU Patient February 04, 2015The doctor did not seem rushed. He gave us plenty of his time.
UofU Patient February 03, 2015no meds involved. I always feel like Dr Soisson and the rest of the staff have whatever time I need and am always "considered" in the conversation
UofU Patient February 03, 2015Dr. Soisson is wonderful! I am so thankful for his knowledge and skill, for his sensitivity, and for his encouragement.
UofU Patient January 30, 2015Dr. Soisson makes me feel very safe and important.
UofU Patient January 26, 2015They did not know what kind of cancer mom had at this time.
UofU Patient January 19, 2015I recommend Dr. Soisson to everyone who needs him.
UofU Patient January 18, 2015I thought the doctor in training that first interviewed me excellent also. I did not answer about the medications because we still have the surgery to go through. Attention and coordination to my reaction to anesthesia (POCD) and what we will use to close up the new cut all have to be addressed. I am quite sure that my hyper reaction to chemicals is why my body decided to form a suture granuloma.
UofU Patient January 13, 2015Very impressed with the physician! He explained things in terms that I understood, that my son understood, answered our questions, involved me in the treatment plan, and put my son's concerns at ease. Thank you!
UofU Patient January 12, 2015The care provider was pleasant, informative and professional
UofU Patient January 06, 2015good informative experience
UofU Patient December 14, 2014Dr. Soissen came back in the room even after he was done with my appointment to answer an additional question. I was very grateful for that. He made sure I had all my questions answered before I left.
UofU Patient December 13, 2014I mentioned it before, but I'll say it again. I loved the staff. They were kind, friendly, and put me at ease with the situation. I know I am in good hands.
UofU Patient November 29, 2014exceptional care by the Dr. and his staff
UofU Patient November 28, 2014Dr. Soiison seemed to be in a bit of a rush today. I understand he is a very busy MD. I have had long delays in the past due to his surgery or an emergency, so the no wait today was very nice.
UofU Patient November 15, 2014Did not wash his hands. Hurried too fast with exam.
UofU Patient November 15, 2014Is reassuring about my condition, considers the long-term emotions.
UofU Patient November 09, 2014I've been cured for 4.5 years, so we mostly talk about books we've read.
UofU Patient November 08, 2014No better service on earth
UofU Patient November 03, 2014I have had great care from day one, about 6 years ago, from Dr. Soisson. I know he sees a lot of patients every day but he has the ability to make you feel that he really remembers and know you personally!
UofU Patient October 20, 2014Very good
UofU Patient October 12, 2014Dr. Soisson is the best doctor EVER!!!
UofU Patient October 01, 2014care provider was excellent
UofU Patient September 29, 2014Dr. Soisson is by far the most excellent provider I have ever had. He is always so friendly and has great information. He is always very positive/optimistic in his presentation of the facts of your case. His "bedside" manner is very disarming. Puts you at ease and completes his physical exam before you even realize he is performing it. Always provides modesty to the patient. I would recommend him to anyone who is facing a cancer diagnosis.
UofU Patient September 25, 2014Great Doctor.
UofU Patient September 21, 2014always have a good experience at Huntsman during treatment and follow ups. I am so glad I chose Huntsman.
UofU Patient September 15, 2014very good
UofU Patient September 13, 2014Dr Soisson is an excellent doctor and has an excellent manner of making me feel informed and at ease.
UofU Patient September 06, 2014Very reassuring. Just what I needed. I wish I would have asked more questions about what would happen after surgery, but I believe if I had, they would have been answered.
UofU Patient September 05, 2014My Care provider was very professional and kind. I did feel like he was in a hurry. His communication was about cancer on a universal scale and not about my individual case.
UofU Patient August 31, 2014THERE IS THAT SPECIAL FEELING THAT YOU KNOW THAT THIS IS ALL JUST THE VERY BEST CARE ANYONE WOULD COULD POSSIBLY HAVE! I AM VERY GRATEFUL!
UofU Patient August 31, 2014He is very professional yet very kind and engaging. I enjoy the visit and feel he really is concerned about my health and healing . I could not be more pleased.
UofU Patient August 25, 2014I wanted to know how to detect possible other cancers and did not get that answer
UofU Patient August 25, 2014very good
UofU Patient August 12, 2014I am very pleased with Dr. Soisson's attention to detail and his willingness to explain his reasoning. I am an engineer and I like to understand the thinking behind decisions. I enjoy talking with Dr. Soisson because he is direct and clear, lays out all of the facts and considerations, and then makes his recommendations. He also did a good job of putting the results in perspective. I feel very lucky to be one of his patients. Thanks.
UofU Patient August 08, 2014Dr Soisson is great, I would highly recommend him and all his staff.
UofU Patient August 04, 2014Dr. Soission is a very kind man.Made me feel at ease in a scary situation.Held my hand in the surgery room.I felt like i was in good hands.Couldnt ask for a better doctor.
UofU Patient July 21, 2014Good
UofU Patient July 20, 2014Very recommended care to others
UofU Patient July 15, 2014There is no greater testimony of the tremendous care I received by Dr. Soissen then the fact that I am alive today. No question went unanswered, no fear went unaleaviated, no options went unreaserched. I went to Huntsman because the oncologist I was referred to was not even willing to discuss options. Dr. Siossen explained options in a way that allowed ME to make the choice in how I would be treated. He was honest and compassionate and patient and as far as I and my family are concerned he saved my life. Nothing I say on this survey can ever really express my gratitude for him and for Huntsman.
UofU Patient July 12, 2014I would strongly recommend the care providers at Huntsman to others.
UofU Patient July 10, 2014Great staff, thank you all.
UofU Patient June 28, 2014Very good experience for me. I met with the Dr. and with two interns; I did feel like our conversation was a little restricted because of the presence of so many people. But I understand why they were there and am fine with that.
UofU Patient June 23, 2014dr Soisson was very kind and made me feel very comfortable and was thorough in answering all my questions
UofU Patient June 23, 2014Dr. Sossian is awesome!
UofU Patient May 18, 2014Very concerned about me.
UofU Patient May 18, 2014I FELT VERY MUCH AT EASE AND COMFORTABLE WITH MY VISIT, AND GOING FORWARD. I FELT WELL TAKEN CARE OF!
UofU Patient May 18, 2014Dr. Soisson is a wonderful doctor. I always look forward to my appointments and being able to visit with Dr. Soisson.
UofU Patient May 17, 2014He was very encouraging about my health in future months. Included other health issues as well.
UofU Patient May 13, 2014Friendly, compassionate, skillful.
UofU Patient May 12, 2014Many of these questions do not apply. The exam was a yearly follow up to surgery I had 7 yrs ago. As to recommendation, if an individual had uterine cancer, I would recommend this physician. To friends who did not, I would not.
UofU Patient May 06, 2014I am cancer-free, so not many of the above questions apply. The exam portion of my visit takes very little time. Dr. Soisson and I mostly just visit. : )
UofU Patient April 26, 2014I could tell the doctor had spent time reviewing my information and knew what recommendations to give me. He listened to my questions and gave me easy to understand explanations.
UofU Patient April 21, 2014Dr. Soisson was so thorough! He started from the beginning, was very patient, and covered all the bases. I had read a plethora of material before I got there on my condition, he covered everything I had read. He was easy to be around, seemed caring and kind. I really feel like I am not only in good hands, but have the BEST care available.
UofU Patient April 19, 2014I HAVE ONLY THE VERY BEST FEELING ABOUT THE CARE PROVIDED TO ME!!!
UofU Patient April 17, 2014I wish Dr. Soisson would have ask me if I had any questions or concerns, and took a little more time with that.
UofU Patient April 09, 2014good
UofU Patient March 30, 2014my care provider told me that he would have his office call me the next day to schedule surgery but I never received a phone call
UofU Patient March 30, 2014Dr. Soisson and staff are wonderful! thank you.
UofU Patient March 30, 2014This medical team was more than "very good" could describe.
UofU Patient March 18, 2014Everybody was wonderful!
UofU Patient March 17, 2014I appreciate input concerning pain management
UofU Patient March 12, 2014I appreciate that Dr. Soisson comes across as patient while I'm going through my list of questions, and gives me the attention I need to feel comfortable with my condition. I feel like I can ask him anything...
UofU Patient March 03, 2014This was my first appointment with Dr. Soisson. I was amazed at his level of care for a total stranger.
UofU Patient February 27, 2014I've never had anyone with any medical degree be as kind, helpful, friendly, & genuinely concerned as your staff was.
UofU Patient February 18, 2014Dr. Soisson. You are always concerned about doing the best job that you can to keep me healthy. Thank you for referring me to Dr. Hsu for additional care--I see Dr. Hsu this Friday. See you in 3 months.
UofU Patient February 10, 2014The experience with the entire staff at Huntsman was over and above what I ever would have expected especially given how busy everyone is.
UofU Patient January 25, 2014Awesome experience
UofU Patient January 23, 2014The doctor and staff were wonderful...I am completely confident that I will receive the proper diagnosis and care.
UofU Patient January 23, 2014Awesome as always.
UofU Patient January 20, 2014I will continue recommending Huntsman to anyone I hear has been diagnosed with Cancer!
UofU Patient January 16, 2014I love Dr. Soisson. He is a very caring, considerate person and it shows in his work. I have recommended him to anyone who needs his kinds of services.
UofU Patient January 13, 2014Very friendly and concerned. Seemed to be hurried and did not stop and let ask questions.
UofU Patient January 11, 2014...care provider "reads" more than medical journals... very impressive!
UofU Patient December 09, 2013Dr. Soisson has always answered all of my questions, and has helped to "solve" issues relating to my cancer experience. He is a very caring individual, who always takes time with you!!!! Awesome!!!!
UofU Patient December 07, 2013Dr. Andrew Soisson and Kyle, the resident physician, were kind and thorough with a sensitive topic and exam. they helped put my mind at ease.
UofU Patient November 25, 2013My husband and I came away from the appoiintment much for informed and confident that we made the right decisiion to come to Hunstman as soon as possible
UofU Patient November 25, 2013I have always loved Dr. Soisson! I especially appreciate his genuine interest in me as a person. I have never felt like I was just a number, nor that my appointment was just something he had to get through. He is always optimistic and caring, which is deeply appreciated when you're dealing with one of the most frightening of all possible diagnoses.
UofU Patient November 18, 2013I asked if Dr. Soisson knew I had a blood clot, a side effect of my medication. He said yes. He then went on about some studies that said blood clots were not a side effect of my medication and that it was controversial. There was nothing controversial about my experience. It happened! Yet the doctor seemed to dismiss the importance of my experience. His response was "Take an aspirin." No specifics were given. This may have been good advice, but it seemed like he didn't believe me or that what I had to say was unimportant.
UofU Patient November 11, 2013Dr. Soisson always listens and answers any questions that I have. Sometimes I don't know what questions to ask, but he always explains so well, that he answers any questions that I could have. Dr. Soisson is always patient and kind.Dr. Soisson also gives hope and reassurance.
UofU Patient November 08, 2013Dr soisson explained all treatments and before making up my mind about having surgery, he reccomended i talk to a radiologist for his opinion on radiology treatment.
UofU Patient October 29, 2013I initially saw a resident (Amalia), and she was very friendly and took a good history. I then saw Dr. Soisson who is amazing. His knowledge and obvious cooncern for me were extremely appreciated. His exam was gentle and he put me at ease. He explained what he knew to be going on at the time very clearly and he obviously cared about me as a person as well as a patient.
UofU Patient October 28, 2013Everyone with whom I came in contact was very caring and professional.
UofU Patient October 22, 2013Dr Soisson was extremely insightful to my personal feelings for a rest from cancer treatment. I appreciate his suggestion that I talk with Dr Werner for further confirmation. Thank you!
UofU Patient October 21, 2013He would ask me a question but really wouldn't give me time to answer it
UofU Patient October 21, 2013good!!
UofU Patient October 15, 2013Doctor Soisson was exellent
UofU Patient October 14, 2013Dr Soisson explained my problem to the level in which I understood he also explained the different options of treatments.
UofU Patient October 09, 2013After several followup visits I am amazed at the memory for insignificant details.
UofU Patient October 08, 2013Again I cannot complain everything explained clearly thank you all
UofU Patient October 07, 2013dr. soisson, christina sok, terrie, mary and sarai were very kind and helpful. sarai spent nearly 30 minutes with me explaining things about the hospital, its services, etc. dr. soisson was amazing. he made me feel so comfortable with him and his manner and ease with dr./pt. interaction made the whole frightening experience of facing surgery, so much more bearable. he spent nearly an hour with me explaining and answering all my questions, and terrie walked me through the whole process of what will happen on friday when i come in for the surgery. christina sok further explained her role as the doctor's assistant during the surgery and i am completely confident in their ability to see me through this. everyone at both facilities has made me feel like i am their only patient. i work at two other hospitals in the salt lake area, both in cardiovascular intensive care, and i think every hospital could take lessons from yours regarding customer service. it is the best.
UofU Patient September 27, 2013cool
UofU Patient September 23, 2013Dr.Soisson and staff are excelent
UofU Patient September 19, 2013cool
UofU Patient September 09, 2013good
UofU Patient September 04, 2013Everything went fine.
UofU Patient September 03, 2013I loved the enthusaism and professionalism of my care givers. I am so happy to have a team such as they to help me.
UofU Patient September 02, 2013appreciate the information Dr. Soisson and Dr. Werner provide.
UofU Patient August 29, 2013Dr. Soissen and his assistant Dr. Howell were amazing every step of the way. They listened to my concerns and took them seriously. They address every possible issue and all my options and let me decide. Also his nurses Mary and Terry were just amazing and kind and patient.
UofU Patient August 27, 2013The total experience was positive.
UofU Patient August 20, 2013I would have liked to be able to tell the doctor about some concerns but was afraid it was too small to mention.
UofU Patient August 19, 2013Well, I can't say enough good stuff about Dr. Soisson and the excellent care that I receive. I met with Dr. Agarwal and Dr. Bragg. Dr. Bragg was excellent and explaining surgery that I will have. Dr. Agarwal is concerned about me and will take care of me. I am so lucky, and blessed to have 3 of the best surgeons in the world. Dr. Lowrance didn't want me to experience too much stress in my exam so he was able to put me under anesthesia the next day (after appointment). He wanted to know exactly what care he would need to be giving, what procedure, and certainly put my mind at rest. Dr. Soisson, you are right! I will be OK. I may have a hard time ahead for a little while, but all will be well. I ran 6 miles this morning. Dr. Soisson, I really appreciate the care that you have given me. Have a great day!
UofU Patient August 15, 2013very thorough
UofU Patient August 13, 2013I was very impressed with everyone. It was interesting having
UofU Patient August 13, 2013I met with Dr. Soisson last week and he scheduled me to meet with Dr. Agarwal and Dr. Lowrance this week--Stephanie helped schedule appointments and is very good at getting me in to see them this week. As usual, Dr. Soisson, you are wonderful and caring and have my well being uppermost in your mind and treat me as if I were your most important patient. Thank you for the care that you give me. Dr. Agarwal and Dr. Bragg were wonderful this morning in explaining procedures/surgery and what to expect in way of surgery and what could go wrong--hernias, etc, --It was especially helpful to know that I shouldn't lift anything heavy after surgery for six weeks. I appreciate all that Dr. Soisson, Dr. Agarwal, Dr. Bragg and Dr. Lowrance will be doing for me to help make my life better. Thank you.
UofU Patient August 12, 2013Dr. Soisson is a very caring and a professional individual. He makes the patient feel at ease and trusting in his care.
UofU Patient August 10, 2013Dr. Soisson made me feel at ease. I was confident that I was in good hands and appreciated his help with my medical needs.
UofU Patient August 06, 2013I have only good things to say, very pleased.
UofU Patient August 06, 2013very dismissive of my concerns and made me feel like I was wasting his time
UofU Patient July 25, 2013Dr. Soisson--You are the best, more caring doctor that I have ever had. Thank you for the care and concern that you have for me. Even though you see lots of patients you make me feel like I am the most important patient and you are providing me with the care emotionally and physically that I need. Thank you very much. Also, it was a good idea to have biopsies while sedated--thank you for doing biopsies.
UofU Patient July 24, 2013Dr. Soisson is my hero. I just wish I could thank him enough. He is always cheery and makes me smile.
UofU Patient July 23, 2013could not be better
UofU Patient July 17, 2013procedure was fast, and the surgeon explained the procedure.
UofU Patient July 12, 2013he is the best
UofU Patient July 09, 2013The doctor was in a hurry this day. I didn't get to ask my questions.
UofU Patient June 17, 2013Dr. Soisson and his staff are just excellent. His explanations are concise, to the point, informative, and yet provided in such a friendly manner that I do not feel overwhelmed or stupid.
UofU Patient June 10, 2013I wish that Dr. Soisson could be cloned -- THAT's what I would recommend to others! Except it's like having an undiscovered vacation paradise and keeping it a secret -- I'd hate it if he got so busy that I'd never have to see him again. Of course, I hope that I never NEED to see him again, so I have some mixed feelings!
UofU Patient June 05, 2013Good explanations and all questions were given complete validation.
UofU Patient June 04, 2013he didn't seem in a hurry, which is rare for doctors! seemed very patient and kind.
UofU Patient May 22, 2013Dr. Soisson is the best! I am very grateful that he is my doctor.
UofU Patient May 21, 2013Dr. Soisson was very thorough in explaining my diagnosis, prognosis and treatment options. He was able to answer all of my questions and put me at ease. I trust Dr. Soisson to assist me in making the best possible decisions in my care.
UofU Patient May 21, 2013I felt like he was in a hurry and not concerned about my concerns. He isn't normally like this.
UofU Patient May 10, 2013I always feel like an old friend with Dr Soisson; I have recommended him to several others
UofU Patient May 06, 2013Visiting doctors has always been my worse fear. I get a lot of trepidation and hyperventilation whenever I go to see my doctors. But, Doctor Soisson's friendliness and affable manners puts me at ease. He makes me feel that we have known each other for a long time, and he always, explains whatever I need to know in a manner that I understand what he is telling me about my condition and is always very reassuring about my condition. After every examinations that I have, I always go home feeling good knowing that everything is alright with me and that there's no other problem to worry about. I trust his care and opinions.
UofU Patient May 06, 2013It was all good.
UofU Patient April 29, 2013Dr. Soissoin is amazing and really takes excellent care of his patients. He goes the extra mile and shows it
UofU Patient April 16, 2013Dr. Soisson was amazing. he explained my diagnosis in a way I could easily understand. He had thoroughly reviewed my records and we quickly made a plan of action.
UofU Patient April 12, 2013good
UofU Patient March 26, 2013I am amazed at the recall of the Dr. regarding my personal life/problems after no visit for 6 months.
UofU Patient March 25, 2013I felt everyone was in a hurry. My news is good and I was happy about that. I did have questions and concernsthat I didn't feel I had time to ask.
UofU Patient March 25, 2013ALL GOOD
UofU Patient March 22, 2013I was very impressed with Dr. Soisson and his assistants. They were very thorough and helpful, answering all my questions.
UofU Patient March 18, 2013wonderful staff
UofU Patient March 14, 2013I appreciate all the excellent care I am receiving.
UofU Patient March 07, 2013Great exprience. Even though my problem is minor compared to other patients I always felt like the most important person there. Dr. Soission is wonderful and he makes a scary experience more comfortable.
UofU Patient March 06, 2013Thank you for advising a quick response... Sounds important that we move aggressively.
UofU Patient February 26, 2013I am cancer-free, so our visits are mostly just friendly chats.
UofU Patient February 19, 2013good
UofU Patient February 13, 2013Loved our Dr!
UofU Patient February 11, 2013the dr was very good about explaining about what my options where,& what was going to happen
UofU Patient February 10, 2013The doctor was so fast, that he was in and out before I realized what was going on and that the appt was over. The nurse (Terrie) was the one who answered most of my questions and she was a dear.
UofU Patient February 04, 2013my follow-up appointments are VERY short. Not much time for conversation about issues.
UofU Patient February 03, 2013Dr. was behind and trying to hurry but this was a follow up to check if cancer had returned. I wasn't actively ill. I had one question about my heart that was answered hastily.
UofU Patient February 01, 2013The doctor I saw took the time to exam, explain and recommend a course of action. Because of his friendly professional manner and experience I trusted this doctor and followed his recommendations. I would definitely recommend him to another and would see him again myself.
UofU Patient January 30, 2013Again everyone was so wonderful and helped to make me comfortable. I left my appointment relieved and confident that I know I am in good hands.
UofU Patient January 29, 2013What can I say about Dr. Soissen except he saved my life. I was told, not asked, by another oncologist not with Huntsman that a radical hysterectomy was my only option, but that was not true. Dr. Soissen explained several options and the side effects and cure rate of each. He put me back in charge of my treatment, but made sure I had all the information, good and bad , to make the decision that was best for me.
UofU Patient January 28, 2013You can't beat Dr. Soisson!
UofU Patient January 28, 2013Dr. Soisson explained the medical treatment that I have been receiving to my husband since we are becoming more concerned about my health--Dr. Solisson is doing a great job taking care of me--Dr. Soisson is wonderful, caring and a great doctor--I can't say enough good things about the care that I receive and his concern for me--He makes me feel like I am his only, most important patient. Also he doesn't rush into unnecessary surgery--
UofU Patient January 21, 2013Dr. Soisson is a gem, a true hero to me. He always makes me smile. I can't even imagine my experience of having cancer without him. I trust him completely. He has never once even caused me an ounce of pain or discomfort in any of my visits. He has a gentle, expert touch and a warm bedside manner.
UofU Patient January 14, 2013The best description is "superb."
UofU Patient January 10, 2013Both my husband & I were impressed at the thoroughness of my consultation. Neither of us expected the surgeon to spend such time w/us. Very helpful & reassuring.
UofU Patient December 26, 2012My first impression was that Dr Soisson talked very fast, which had me slightly flustered. During the course of the visit he would leave the room and return (for me to change clothes etc). At one point I was mis-understanding the options being given, but finally understood I needed to say I was okay with the surgery option and why. From that point I felt much better about the communication with Dr. Soisson.
UofU Patient December 18, 2012Dr. Soisson is quick but thorough....I love this.
UofU Patient December 18, 2012I would recommend my Doctor to anyone I ever come in contact with that even thinks that they have the same problems as I. I am very imformed and extermly confident in my Doctor and the care I am receiving.
UofU Patient December 18, 2012Instilled confidence and calmness during the visit. Explained very well what was happening.
UofU Patient December 18, 2012Dr Soisson has an excellent reputation in the community
UofU Patient December 04, 2012Overall very informative. Would have liked to be informed of what to expect after surgery, i.e. swelling, bruising, muscle aches, etc.
UofU Patient December 03, 2012I especially appreciate my doctor's willingness to take time with me and show personal concern. He always asks questions about my life in general as well as talking about my health. I love that he treats me like a real person, and always has.
UofU Patient November 20, 2012Super
UofU Patient November 19, 2012I have been to a few hospital in my time and boy I have to say your Doctors are the GREATEST
UofU Patient November 05, 2012At one point he was talking to me while completing some forms at the counter. I informed him I have a hearing loss and he immediately turned around and said, "I should turn around and talk to you then." I was very impressed that he understood the impact of hearing loss, knew what to do about it and cared enough to make a difference. I wish all doctors understood what hearing loss means. Thank you.
UofU Patient November 02, 2012I wish every hospital/clinic that I have been to were as friendly, caring, and supportive as what I found here.
UofU Patient October 30, 2012You can't beat Dr. Soisson, ever!
UofU Patient October 29, 2012Dr. Soisson is the very BEST. I am 5 years out from my cancer treatment and I never miss a followup appt because he is such a delight to see and gives you so much confidence. The appts are always right on time... never a burden.
UofU Patient October 16, 2012Dr. Soisson is an excellent provider. He is very encouraging and very good at explaining everything. I appreciated being given copies of my reports for my files without having to ask for them.
UofU Patient October 01, 2012I was quite nervous to come see Dr Soissen. I could not have been more pleased when I did meet him! From the moment he walked into the examination room he was personable and I felt so comfortable and at ease. He called me by name and his quick exam and assessment of my condition were done painlessly. Because of unexpected surgeries this day, my appointment had been moved twice already. I knew that Dr. Soissen had made room for me in his schedule, because of the distance I had traveled to come. Therefore, I was even more impressed when he took several minutes with me to explain options, even sketching a few pictures to make his presentation more clear to me. His entire bedside manner, his presentation - gave me confidence and trust in him. What a wonderful experience. I will continue my treatment with Dr. Soissen.
UofU Patient September 11, 2012I am amazed by this care provider, his personal interest and willingness to answer questions, work out appt changes.
UofU Patient September 10, 2012Loved Dr. Soisson.
UofU Patient August 28, 2012Dr. Soisson is awesome and very compassionate.
UofU Patient July 31, 2012All upbeat, listened, discussed, concluded, acted.
UofU Patient July 25, 2012I felt that the doctor did not fully address my concerns over my abdominal pains. However, he did give my husband and me a lot of confidence in my recovery.
UofU Patient July 23, 2012We felt so confident in Dr. Soissons care and so appreciated his straight forward answers! His staff was wonderful as well both in the clinic and while l was in the hospital.
UofU Patient July 18, 2012Dr. Soisson is an amazing person, as well as an amazing Dr. He is so kind, compassionate, and knowledgeable. I'm SO glad he is the Dr. I get to go to.
UofU Patient July 17, 2012My experience was great. The physician used simplified pictures and terms to make sure we understood exactly what was going on and what to expect. He was calm, which in return, calmed our worries.
UofU Patient July 17, 2012all good
UofU Patient July 16, 2012Excluding the worry and concern I had, it was one of the best experiences with a medical facility.
UofU Patient July 04, 2012Excellent
UofU Patient July 02, 2012He outlined my options very well and let me decide what I thought was best. I was grateful he offered non surgical options. This gave me real confidence in him and the staff.
UofU Patient June 26, 2012Good experience - covered everything in detail including disease and meds.
UofU Patient June 19, 2012all good
UofU Patient June 19, 2012I already have made referrals for the Huntsman's Cancer Hospital
UofU Patient June 11, 2012I really like Dr. Soisson, and the way he is w/ patients is amazing. He has always treated me w/ respect and compassionate concern. He is prompt, efficient, yet kind.
UofU Patient June 06, 2012Considering what a crazy day it was in the clinic, my doctor was calm, relaxed and attentive. I never felt rushed or minimized.
UofU Patient May 19, 2012i felt confident that all will be well
UofU Patient May 12, 2012I was scared so I had the tendency to forget things that really were painful for me to remember
UofU Patient May 05, 2012Grateful for use of "common terms." Advice as to future care appreciated.
UofU Patient April 26, 2012Dr. Soisson is really good and cares about his patients--he is making sure that I an well and not taking any chances. I will have a PET scan this week--he is the greatest and I really like the care that I am receiving--
UofU Patient April 14, 2012Did not get a chance to ask questions.
UofU Patient April 12, 2012He is a VERY compassionate and caring doctor!! He made this horribly scary situation a lot easier on me!!
UofU Patient April 06, 2012Have not had follow up care yet
UofU Patient March 22, 2012I really like Dr. Sossian - he is very personable. He shows an interest in me and is very willing to discuss whatever problems I am having.
UofU Patient March 16, 2012I admire and like Dr. Soisson,
UofU Patient March 09, 2012I had asked my primary care provider about what to expect prior to my appointment. I had a list of questions for him that I never asked because they were answered before I could ask them. He was very informative and did not use medical terminology I could not understand. I was prepared to get a second opinion. After my appointment my husband and I felt very comfortable with the level of care I would receive from my doctor.
UofU Patient February 29, 2012I was VERY impressed by the doctor that saw me. Kept eye contact with me the marjority of the time instead of reading the chart while talking to me. They already knew my history and all about what I was referred down there about before coming into my room to talk to me. I loved both the doctor that I saw!
UofU Patient February 22, 2012Exam was quick and to the point
UofU Patient February 15, 2012I liked Dr.Sission right away. (I know I'm spelling his name wrong) Sorry.
UofU Patient February 03, 2012I felt much better after meeting the doctors and nurses at Huntsman.
UofU Patient February 01, 2012I have complete confidence in Dr. Soisson and appreciate his attention to detail and sincere concern for my well being. Nancy is an incredibly kind, thoughtful and encouraging type of person. She is knowledgeable and is exactly the person I want to be on my medical team.
UofU Patient February 01, 2012Best oncologist I ever met!! Wonderful man. Even given my horrible circumstances.
UofU Patient January 28, 2012Confidence inspiring. My sister is a retired R.N. and has faith in him. I would go to him myself and I have over 40 years in the medical field.
UofU Patient January 25, 2012I am cancer-free and just going through required follow-up visits, so most of the above questions are N/A. There isn't much to say about my condition and just a brief internal exam.
UofU Patient January 25, 2012My doctor is one of my favorite people! He is so talented at what he does and he seems to actually enjoy his work. He has a great bedside manner. His staff is all great too.
UofU Patient January 06, 2012I felt that this experience was very positive from beginning to end. I felt fully informed about the procedure and I really appreciated all of the information provided.
UofU Patient January 04, 2012Dr Soisson is always great and highly skilled and knowledgeable.
UofU Patient January 04, 2012I appreciate Dr. holding my hand for biopsy. It helps because needle for biopsy can hurt.
