After my procedure, there were three pages of written post-op instructions, most of which were a surprise to me, when I read them after I returned home from the procedure. This included 48 hours of activity restrictions, and up to six weeks of wound care. It would have been helpful to know at least of the activity restrictions before the procedure, so I arranged my schedule accordingly.

I felt very pushed off and left more confused than I did when I started this process. I feel she could very much take more time to explain things and try to understand vs being in a hurry and rushing into rooms. This is the very first experience of this I have had at U of U. It was pretty disappointing.

She examined me very quickly, saying everything she saw aloud so that the nurse could write it down. She told me exactly what my problem was and what my options are to treat it according to what I've done in the past. She prescribed me the medication immediately. She recommended me to a research study for people with my condition, called them right away, and they called me before I even left the room to schedule an appointment, and i got it scheduled for as soon as we could get to the other clinic (30 minutes). The treatment she prescribed me has been working great, overall I am VERY satisfied with my service and doctor.

Care provider was MD. MD was in visit for about 5 minutes. During that time, she was pleasant and showed concern. However it was short and seemed like patient visit was formality instead taking time for a new pt visit and getting any history of past reactions to allergy testing. Left me in hands of MA to apply patch testing and to give a sheet explaining the patch test process. Disappointing how the system treated me as a number.

In the interest of full disclosure, I am a Neurosurgeon in practice for some 32 years now. Dr Deshavo is an excellent clinician. She is the 6th dermatologist I have seen in the last 16 months (4th in your clinic) for the same problem. She did a very good job of assessing me clinically and not falling into the trap of arriving at the same diagnosis that the others did. She is a bright clinician, in my humble opinion.
UofU Patient

UNIVERSITY OF UTAH MIDVALLEY HEALTH CENTER
Dr. DeShazo at the first appointment seemed like a very nice doctor. I only saw her for maybe 5 -8 minutes, but I'm sure she's busy, and there isn't much to discuss at an initially patch test appointment I'm assuming (the reason for the 4's, as I didn't spend much time with her and at that point couldn't determine my confidence in her). The second appointment was better with slightly more time spent and a better explanation on some allergies from the first set of patches, and an explanation that at the third appointment it would be discussed further (totally fine with me).

She was rushed. Didn't listen to my concerns. Didn't have time for the backstory. Wanted to put me into patch testing. If you want assembly line care, she's fine. If you want someone to use their knowledge and experience to really listen, understand and help you, find another doctor. Not impressed.

I was not asked if it was okay for a resident to assist the doctor until the last second -- the male resident was in ear shot. I was absolutely not okay with it, but felt I couldn't say no. The doctor pulled down my gown to expose my breasts in front of the male resident. I was embarrassed. I did not ask all of the questions I wanted to because a couple moles were near my genitals and I just wanted to leave.
