UofU Patient December 25, 2014
there is no comparison to the care that is recieved at Huntsman.
UofU Patient December 21, 2014I know the Nurse Practioner and Doctor were very busy, but they seemed very rushed. I felt that I didn't have enought time to ask the questions in which I needed answers. They answered questions but were very rushed. It wasn't like it was in previous visits.
UofU Patient December 18, 2014Doctor Agarwal and his staff have been friendly and courteous from the beginning. Our discussions have been enlightening comforting and at the same time factual. I can say without equivocation I have always felt that Doctor Agarwal and his staff have had my interests at heart

He is very informative and concerned with my progress. He is sensitive towards my needs as a patient and builds my confidence.

UofU Patient April 25, 2014good
UofU Patient April 14, 2014Dr. Argawal provided me real answers to my problem and I am very happy to now have him as my doctor. He provided very good explanations and took the time to answer my questions.
UofU Patient April 13, 2014Some tech terms but I think I understand
UofU Patient April 11, 2014The care providers cound have not been more attnetative to our needs and questions. Everything was explained to us and our input was taken into consideration.

UofU Patient February 12, 2014Professional, congenial, and clearly caring in every way. I was pampered and treated like a friend or family member. I am convinced my welfare and wellbeing really matters to the folks at HCC
UofU Patient February 12, 2014All good
UofU Patient February 12, 2014Dr. Agarwal spent a lot of time outlining different treatment options, most of which were not really an option for me. He also mentioned more than once he had other patients he needed to see. He did ask form one of the Nurses in the IL-2 treatment to come talk with us. She added a lot to what he said. I was called on the following day to let me know about an appointment on that Monday they had scheduled for me in Radiology without having addressed that during my appointment.
UofU Patient February 10, 2014Could not have asked for better people.
UofU Patient February 07, 2014Instilled a positive attitude in a stressful situation.

UofU Patient January 17, 2014A lot of variation between Dr, PA and Nurses
UofU Patient January 13, 2014Excellent
UofU Patient January 09, 2014Outstanding in each of these categories. I did not think the physician and his assistant would have the kind of time for patient I received from both. I felt uniquely special and cared for and about. Thank you to Dr. Agarwal and Julia.
UofU Patient December 16, 2013The PA went out of her way to help me understand, She made a graft on the computer to show me the answer a question I had.
UofU Patient November 20, 2013They are so good to explaining everything.
UofU Patient October 28, 2013We have already recommended Huntsmans to a coworker with a newly diagnosed cancer.
UofU Patient October 02, 2013good
UofU Patient September 20, 2013care provider made me feel I was the only patient he had.
UofU Patient August 26, 2013Every visit I've made to this clinic has always been a good experience.
UofU Patient August 20, 2013Dr Agarwal and the nurse practitioners have always been great. They clearly have out best interest at heart and seem invested in us and our progress towards a cure. This time we also saw Steve - pharmacist - he was just as kind as could be and very informative. It is just great how all the disciplines seem to be there, on the spot, when needed.
UofU Patient August 19, 2013Dr. Agerwal is the best!!! We love him
UofU Patient August 08, 2013Dr. Agerwal is always concerned, kind and willing to answer all questions to our satisfaction.
UofU Patient July 22, 2013I am very confident in Dr. Agarwall. He always takes the time to make sure I understand what is going on even though I have been doing whole brain radiation and get confused often.

UofU Patient June 02, 2013Everyone was most concerned and helpful.
UofU Patient May 29, 2013Great experience
UofU Patient April 22, 2013I truly don't know what we would ever do with our Doctor! He is amazing and kind and we know that he truly cares and wants the very best for my husband. He is an amazing man!!!
UofU Patient April 01, 2013Every experience I have had at Huntsman has been great. I look forward to driving down from Idaho to not only be treated but vcisit with Doctors and staff. Don't chgange anything.
UofU Patient March 12, 2013The visit was very helpful. I felt quite confident about the info.
UofU Patient March 04, 2013Dr Agarwal went out of his way to make sure that we understood the risk/reward of the IL 2 therapy, included us in the decision making process, and also welcomed a friend who was sitting on on the session. We left feeling completely confident in the care we would receive from Dr Agarwal and the Nurse practitioners who administer the treatment.
UofU Patient March 04, 2013I always feel that everyone is proactively involved in my case and has a personal interest in my progress. I know I am in good hands at the Huntsman.

UofU Patient January 28, 2013This visit is the best one I have experienced so far. Keep up the good work.
UofU Patient January 14, 2013Pleasantly surprised at the knowledge the provider had of my case upon arrival without looking at notes and the unrushed atmosphere and amount of time spent with me.
UofU Patient November 27, 2012We told them about my "flu like" symptoms after my first infusion and they immediately recommended changes in the procedure that would help me to avoid those "flu like" symptoms in the future
UofU Patient November 12, 2012The entire Staff at HCI is on the cutting edge in their profession. I have the highest confidence in their direction and treatment.
UofU Patient November 12, 2012Every one is great!!!!!!!!!!
UofU Patient October 29, 2012If you have Cancer, This is the place to come to for treatment.
UofU Patient October 22, 2012Dr. Agarawal was very clear, professional and straightforward in his manner.
UofU Patient October 12, 2012I can understand how a Doctor's schedule can be disrupted. I do not understand why I was not better informed of reason for the delay. I certainly do not know why I waited in the Infusion Clinic for nearly 90 minutes because, as I understand, Pharmacy was slow.
UofU Patient July 30, 2012I personaly do not like the doctor
UofU Patient July 16, 2012We tell everyone this is the best place for excelant care.
UofU Patient June 26, 2012Dr. Agarwal is apparently very knowledgeable and proficient medically, but I have found his patient concern and communication skills to be lacking. He demonstrates superficial concern and does a very marginal job of explaining his treatments and taking time to insure that the patient has a comfortable understanding of treatment/changes in treatments. He gives the distinct impression that his "schedule" and clinical studies are much more important that your concerns/comfort level.
UofU Patient June 25, 2012they were busy that day but I had no problem
UofU Patient May 04, 2012GOOD
UofU Patient April 13, 2012thanks for the great care I have been afford in helping me fight my cancer.
UofU Patient March 23, 2012Dr. who spoke to us and examined me before Dr. Agarwal was very knowledgeable, and during exam found a potential concern which he told him about.
UofU Patient March 16, 2012good
UofU Patient February 29, 2012In the three years I have been at the Huntsman Center I can say it has been a pleasant experience and I would highly recommend it to everyone
UofU Patient February 08, 2012Good experience
UofU Patient January 27, 2012I was well taken care of. I didn't know what to expect. I trust these people to do their best for me.
UofU Patient January 10, 2012Very good.
