UofU Patient March 31, 2014
Dr. Emily Harold was so kind and caring! I had a negative experience with another specialist at TOSH. She took that into consideration, listened to my concerns/pains/stories without acting as if time was an issue. Emily took the time to show me my x-rays, discuss possible treatment plans and made me feel as if I was talking to a friend rather than a doctor. She was great!
UofU Patient March 31, 2014I was treated in a quick and professional manner. Listened to my concerns and situation. I felt listened to. I enjoyed the visit very much.
UofU Patient March 31, 2014Very impressed with the quality of care, knowledge of Dr. Harold, and her willingness to take the time to explain things in terms I could understand. Dr. Harold is the first orthopedic doctor I have seen over the years to fully explain my joint issues to me. She explained the changes in the "standard" treatment for people with loose joints like I have from what it was back in the 1970's when I was first diagnosed vs today. Love Dr. Harold.
UofU Patient March 28, 2014good experience
UofU Patient March 28, 2014the only problem was when I brought my xrays from another dr. they were suppose to copy them but they were not in my records and I had to get xrays again.
UofU Patient March 27, 2014She gave me all the details and options i needed to know about my condition. and allowed me to make the decision on my treatment
UofU Patient February 17, 2014She seemed a little rushed
UofU Patient February 13, 2014My problem was not very complicated, but I still had a very good experience at the Orthopedic Center.
UofU Patient February 13, 2014Dr Harold was very professional and personable. Really spent a lot of time and listened to me to get my patient history. Examined me thoroughly. Explained treatment options very well. Told me when to contact her if I was having continued symptoms. I will continue seeing Dr Harold. Very pleased with her concern and care.
UofU Patient January 23, 2014helped find medications and treatments that work for me! went to other dr did not get same result! would reccomend over anywhere else!
UofU Patient January 20, 2014I feel safe and cared for by Dr Harold
UofU Patient January 18, 2014Quick and easy
UofU Patient January 18, 2014Dr. Harold is terrific. She explains everything she's doing and is extremely good at it.
UofU Patient January 07, 2014Dr Emily Herald was very helpful, very kind and put me at ease right away. We went over my xrays in detail and she clearly explained to me what was going on in my shoulders. I received an injection into my right shoulder, which has helped a great deal. Physical therapy was arranged and I am continuing my care. I'm very grateful for Dr. Harold's service and would recommend her highly to any family or friends.
UofU Patient January 03, 2014Love DR. Harold !!!!!!!!!
UofU Patient December 16, 2013Dr. Harold was very direct and informative. She explained the cause of my condition in words I could understand and seemed intent on assessing me until she understood my joint issues fully. After meeting with her I felt much more reassured about my health and where to go forward from her diagnosis.
UofU Patient December 16, 2013excellent diagnosis and prognosis. Dr. Harold creates a good professional relationship.
UofU Patient December 15, 2013I was very pleased with the service.
UofU Patient December 15, 2013Dr. Herald is a tremendous doc. Excellent communicator, too.
UofU Patient December 13, 2013I had a very good experience at the clinic and plan to continue and get a new doctor as well for my husband and myself thank you.
UofU Patient December 11, 2013The only thing I wish Dr. Harold would have gone over with me is any current exercises I can do or should avoid and if i should be taking any steps to alleviate my pain.
UofU Patient November 18, 2013liked the provider
UofU Patient November 11, 2013She is very friendly and sincere. I would highly recommend Dr. Harold to friends and family.
UofU Patient October 29, 2013Dr. Harold was kind and thorough. She explained the MRI results, and we discussed possible treatments. She answered all of my questions and told me to call back if I had any other issues.
UofU Patient October 21, 2013Dr. Emily is superb and I have recommended her to others. She listens carefully to concerns and issues and provides good reality for problem being addressed.
UofU Patient October 09, 2013Dr. Harold was absolutely wonderful. Took her time with me, explained everything and made time to do a procedure without me having to come back. Her assistant was also wonderful, holding my hand during the procedure. If you have to see an orthopedist Dr, Harold is the one to go to...
UofU Patient October 08, 2013I felt as if I was more of an inconvinace. I don't feel that the doctor took or cared to really want to help with my illness. Was told to take Tyenol for my cronic pain. I was seeking help not rejection regarless of medications or supposed injections. I got better care at First Med. I was expecting that because I have been a long term patient with University of Utah I would have recived more concerning care. I just didn't feel that. I was handed a medical realse by the nurse and told to get my own medical records/ mri. The doctor was in and out exam took her less than 5 minutes if that. I don't feel that I should even be charged for this visit that got me ZERO RESULTS. I went back to First Med to see if again I missing something on my behalf I was reperscribed medication that seems to be helping.
UofU Patient September 30, 2013She spent a few extra minutes listening and explaining proceedures, of other M.D.'s in the past.
UofU Patient September 24, 2013Dr. Harold was the best kind of person to answer my questions about my feet. She was professional, but practical with suggesting options that I would follow.
UofU Patient September 10, 2013Dr Harold is great - I have been to many orthopedic doctors and she is my favorite: she takes the time to get to know you as a person and as a patient; she is very knowledgeable and she takes care of business in a very efficient manner. I am thrilled to have found a doctor that is so approachable with the expertise that I need. I recommend her to anyone I know who is looking for a good sports doctor.
UofU Patient September 10, 2013I read other reviews about Dr. Harold once I scheduled the appointment. I experienced some of the same treatment. She was very friendly and helpful, however she just left the room without saying she was finished, then sent in the assistant to help me. She also did not even look at the MRI I brought on a disc.
UofU Patient September 02, 2013Excellent experience. Dr. Harold was attentive, kind and reassuring. I would return to Orthopedics center because of this experience.
UofU Patient August 30, 2013good
UofU Patient August 28, 2013She was excellent in answering my questions and addressing my concerns. She listened to what I had to say and spoke to me in a very understanding and respectful way.
UofU Patient August 28, 2013Dr Harald was exceptional and thorough in her time with me.
UofU Patient August 26, 2013Always professional, courteous, & considers patient input. Have and will recommend others.
UofU Patient August 19, 2013Dr Harold related well to me and my 19 yr old daughter
UofU Patient August 13, 2013Very caring doctor.
UofU Patient July 25, 2013Same great care I received 4 years ago for a different need
UofU Patient July 23, 2013Good.
UofU Patient July 15, 2013Great experience, with only one minor gripe. When the doctor left, it was without any sense that we were "done." It would have helped if she had given more of an opportunity for me to ask questions (I had some). She did say that her assistant would come back with some orthotics, but I didn't realize that meant I would have any further opportunity to talk with the doctor.
UofU Patient July 01, 2013Emily (?Howard) I believe is fairly new to the U. She was very thoughtful and seemed knowledgeable. I saw her for an injured knee and appreciated the fact that she was still very pro running/fitness. I was given an apt with her when I could not get into my regular doc-Amy Powell. She included me in the decision making.
UofU Patient July 01, 2013The provider just kind of left the room at the end. Without an official "you're done". It was kind of weird.
UofU Patient July 01, 2013Dr. was friendly and knowledgeable
UofU Patient June 25, 2013Wonderful doctor.
UofU Patient April 16, 2013She didn't explain what I could do or what I should avoid. She didn't even try to understand why it happened. The appointment made me feel like an inconvenience. She didn't even go over my X-rays with me. Its sad when I get more information from a friend who had the issue than a physician who is suppose to be an expert care provider. I wasted my money to be treated like I wasn't worth her time.
UofU Patient April 15, 2013Loved the dr!
UofU Patient April 15, 2013This was one of the best Dr. visits I have ever had. It started with no wait time and I felt like everyone was happy to help and friendly.
UofU Patient April 15, 2013Dr. Harold had very limited eye contact with me.
UofU Patient April 12, 2013Emily always explains things well and listens to what I say.
UofU Patient March 05, 2013Dr. Harold spent about 5 minutes with me for my burstis. She didn't explain anything to me and just sent me on my way with a paper of some excersizes to do, and she didn't even give me this paper, she sent the MA in with it after she left. It was rotten of her to do that.
UofU Patient February 25, 2013MY provider was very thorough and knowledgable and very kind with her care.
UofU Patient February 05, 2013I'm quite happy with the doctor. She has been very pleasant & professional.
UofU Patient February 04, 2013I really feel comfortable with Dr. Harold
UofU Patient January 15, 2013The doctor was clear in explaining the MRI results. But I didn't feel I received adequate information on what can be done to relieve the problem. She answered my questions, but I don't think I asked the right question. I left more confused than before I arrived.
UofU Patient January 08, 2013VERY INFORMATE WILLING TO EXPLAIN IN DETAILS
UofU Patient November 26, 2012The doctor was a very nice, concerned person making me feel that she was in no hurry to move on. She was very concerned to see if past problems had a bearing on my current problem. I would not have any problems going back to her.
UofU Patient November 26, 2012She was very brief and seemed rushed. I had to ask her to explain most concepts, which she would do and do well, but had to be prompted for virtually all parts of each concept. I believe she is very knowledgable, but I did not receive a very good impression and would not recommend others to her.
UofU Patient November 18, 2012When I need my doctor she's always busy .if I need to make app. I have to wait for a month so I can see her .i love my doctor .i don't want to make app. With another doctor.
UofU Patient November 14, 2012Overall, I am quite happy with the care provided by Dr. Harold.
UofU Patient November 14, 2012diagnosis from note from Dr Stonebruner from xray, was different from the diagnosis the Dr gave me. Was a little confused, but maybe I didn't understand the letter
UofU Patient October 23, 2012I found the provider to be knowledgeable and caring.
UofU Patient October 12, 2012Dr. Harold was excellent!!!!! Very cortious, Very patient, One of the best appointments I've ever had
UofU Patient October 12, 2012Dr Harold discussed what I could expect from the shots, that as long I'm having good results I may not need to have surgery for many years.
UofU Patient October 02, 2012Dr. Harold was very professional and was also quite friendly.
UofU Patient October 01, 2012Dr. Harold was personable, straight up, and talked to me like I had common sense.
UofU Patient September 25, 2012Dr Harold is so down to earth and explains things at the patient's level
UofU Patient September 04, 2012Dr. Emily Harold rocks! Would definately recommend her!
UofU Patient September 04, 2012Staff was very friendly helpful and prompted getting me in and out normally do not do survey but awsom service so I need to let you know
UofU Patient August 21, 2012Dr. Harold was terrible. She was either apathetic to my medical problem or she didn't want to get her hands dirty. Very little time was spent with me, many questions were never answered and what few questions were answered, weren't answers at all.
UofU Patient June 16, 2012Dr. Harold asked relevant questions and from there tested a few areas to uncover the cause of my pain. She told me what the diagnosis is, and explained what it meant and what is likely to have caused it. She said the pain could be treated with a steroid injection, but we both agreed that was unnecessary at this point. She prescribed physical therapy, which I was able to schedule immediately.
UofU Patient April 25, 2012Professional. Pleasant demeanor.
UofU Patient April 14, 2012Dr. Harold spent the smallest ammount of time with me that was possible for her to assess my issue. She more interested in intreacting with her PA than me. She left to get some supplies, came back, gave them to me and just walked away. Her manner was very disinterested after she determined that my issue was minor. However, the advice & supplies she provided were very helpfull.
UofU Patient April 14, 2012, I expressed issues with both my ankle and knee but that the knee had finally brought me in. I would have appreciated some information about the knee but that was never brought up after I talked about it.
UofU Patient March 03, 2012The doctor was very good in explaining what the issue was and how to best treat.
UofU Patient February 29, 2012keep up the good work!
UofU Patient February 10, 2012Ms. Harold listened to me and heard me. Grateful for her service.
UofU Patient February 10, 2012I was very pleased with this doctor. She was very competent, capable, knowledgeable, and friendly. I would definitely recommend her.
