went above and beyond to see patterns in my medical history that put me on the path to getting answers. felt like he cares about my wellbeing, not just about getting me on meds to treat my symptoms.

UofU Patient

We tell everyone about Dr. Van Staden he is very friendly and he genuinely cares for his patients and family members. my son and husband are both patients of his and we just love him!! we were there for a well child check up and football physical Dr. Van Staden wanted to hear about what my son loves about football and sports in general he was not in a rush to get us out because he took the time to explain what was happening and told us to call him with any questions or concerns. When we left he shook my hand as well as giving my son knuckles. When we left my son thought he was the "coolest" guy ever!! Thank you Dr. Van Stadden we are lucky to have you at Farmington.

UofU Patient

Dr Van Staden is your most valuable asset. I would ask you make every effort to retain Dr Van Staden. And, keep him on the front lines, don't waste his talents on administrative or teaching, just elevate his compensation so we keep him available.

UofU Patient

Dr Van Staden always has great advice that works and helps me feel better quickly

UofU Patient
May 14, 2018
Very concerned about my Diabetes and very informative regarding cause and effects of my Diabetes.

UofU Patient
May 10, 2018
Went through several labs very quickly, never referenced numbers and what they meant. Given that this was my first experience with being diagnosed with T2 Diabetes, there was no discussion about what that meant, how to deal with it, offer to schedule an appointment with a nutritionist or offered any assistance to learn about this disease and how to manage it. Worst case of non-information I have ever had. I won't go back to this doctor ever!

UofU Patient
May 07, 2018
He never contacted me to follow up with the blood tests that the neurologist had suggested he do.

UofU Patient

Excellent service

UofU Patient
April 16, 2018
he seemed more frustrated with me for not receiving information from other specialists. he wouldn't prescribe blood glucose strips , that he has before, stating that my diabetic Dr. needed to do that. he mostly just seemed frustrated with me and I was to the point of tears when I left. We used to get along well. I don't know why he has changed.

UofU Patient

I liked the professional manner

UofU Patient
March 15, 2018
I've not felt any of my previous providers have listened to me as much as I have been heard here. I know my PTSD makes me a bit difficult at times but for the first time I have trust in my Doctor enough to push through this discomfort. I just can't say enough about the level of hope I feel today with my treatment in contrast to where I have been in years past.

UofU Patient
March 15, 2018
Dr. Van Staden is an excellent doctor. He always gives thorough explanations and seems to really care about my well being.

UofU Patient
March 06, 2018
Dr. Van stating is fantastic! He communicates promptly via my chart, and was able to call in my prescription as soon as my lab results were available.

UofU Patient
March 02, 2018

UofU Patient
February 16, 2018
No meds prescribed. Not enough experience with this provider to measure my confidence in him. My first impression was very good.

UofU Patient
February 14, 2018
After my son's appointment, I might just make Dr. VanStaden my PCP.

UofU Patient
February 13, 2018
Dr. VanStaden addressed all of my concerns and helped me with plans to improve my sleep issues.

UofU Patient
February 10, 2018
I felt a lot of confidence in my doctor. He ordered tests that spotted the problem I was having and then he got me back into the office right away to decide with me what treatment would be best. Very good experience.

Dr. Van Staden is awesome! He's very blunt and straight forward. He may not always tell you what you want to hear, but he always tells you what you need to hear. This is why he's my preferred doctor. I know he's always going to do what's best for me! I've recommended many people to him.

UofU Patient
December 08, 2017
Overall I would prefer another 10 or 15 minutes each visit.

UofU Patient
December 04, 2017
He didn't cover possible side effects of the medication he prescribed and that would have been helpful to know.

UofU Patient
November 30, 2017

UofU Patient
November 09, 2017
I've been in need of a new Primary doc and he was by far the best I've been to. he was very informative, patient, good sense of humor and wasn't creepy when discussing female personal issues(typically why i go to women docs).

UofU Patient
November 04, 2017

Gavin was very personable and professional.

UofU Patient
July 14, 2017
The doctor ordered some blood work and an MRI, but didn't talk about how I would find out the results of either. I'm not sure if I'll be contacted for a follow up appointment or if I'll need to contact the clinic?

UofU Patient
July 01, 2017
Gavin is amazing. He is so candid and straight forward. He never hesitates to say exactly what I need to hear whether I like it or not and I couldn't ask for a better provider. He always makes me feel as if he is truly invested in me and my healthcare needs. I work in healthcare and although its easy for me to know the answers when I deal with patients, I struggle when it comes to my own health and am faced with illness. I absolutely believe he can see my anxiety about this and he's always taken a gentle approach with me. Gavin is always so patient and most of all kind when he explains things and will explain them different ways until I'm certain I understand. He never gets upset or impatient if I have to ask the same question more than once. I feel valued and cared about. His evaluations are always so thorough and he explores many different angles to make sure we go down the right treatment path. I'm always included in my treatment plan too, it's never just an order. He considers my needs and knows I'm not just a case in a textbook. Dr. Van Staden is one of the most phenomenal providers I have ever seen.

UofU Patient
June 27, 2017

UofU Patient
June 19, 2017
Prior to this visit, I had a horrible experience with another MD. This MD made me feel instantly comfortable and he is clearly knowledgeable and intelligent, I mean he's a doctor, but he also knew how to talk to humans! A quality that isn't so easy to come by in the medical field nowadays. He was great!

UofU Patient
June 17, 2017
The doctor next to Rayleen great house was one of the best doctors I've ever had work on me. he is an awesome guy who made me feel very comfortable.

I did not feel that the physician listened to my story. I experienced flu symptoms, then a massive sinus infection both of which were accompanied with a fever. He told me I had allergies. I did not. I was disappointed in his lack of testing for a diagnosis

Provider was rude and did not feel welcomed at the practice. When we asked a question, he just said he already answered that question. He made us feel stupid and it felt like we wasted his time.

UofU Patient
February 19, 2017
The doctor seemed like we were taking up valuable time. He was mean and did not answer questionswe had. I would not recommendthis site providerto anyone.
