Dr. Deshazo made a point to answer all of my questions thoroughly and patiently. She addressed my concerns in a way that helped me see other perspective and the advised me of her recommended choices from there. The results of all three visits - while surprising to me- were delivered very matter of fact with a lot of information for me to digest at home in follow up too.

I arrived about 15 minutes late (I phoned the clinic on my way to let them know about the delay). Perhaps it was because of my delay that the doctor was so rushed and relatively inattentive.

Usually there is an email telling me there are notes in my chart, or whatever it is called. I have not gotten such. It would, though, be very helpful to have notes as some of the things the Dr. said, treatments, medicines, sunscreens, etc. I did not know the terminology of skin conditions, nor had little freedom to take notes (being nearly naked and being looked over). I had not been seen in 2 years and did have some concerns, but good to know, nothing serious.

Seemed to speak to shadowing doctor rather than me. Used medical jargon without explaining. Made it clear she was done with our time together and made it seem that I was keeping her from going forward. Lacks compassion and being present with and seeing patient as a person not just flesh to examine. Felt judged and uncomfortable. She did not try to make patient feel at ease.

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.
