Dr VanStaden showed a lot of care for me during my visit!

UofU Patient March 13, 2022
FARMINGTON HEALTH CENTER

I felt like he genuinely cares about my well-being and wants to make sure I am aware of my options for treatment.

UofU Patient March 08, 2022
FARMINGTON HEALTH CENTER

Dr. Van Staden took the time to listen and then offer plausible explanations for our concerns

UofU Patient March 07, 2022
FARMINGTON HEALTH CENTER

He was rude and didn't check any of the problems I had. Told me he couldn't and wouldn't listen to them

UofU Patient March 06, 2022
FARMINGTON HEALTH CENTER

Extremely pleased with Dr Van Staden.

UofU Patient February 21, 2022
FARMINGTON HEALTH CENTER

I showed up to the wrong clinic but he was professional about helping me out with what he could.

UofU Patient February 20, 2022

Worst doctor I've ever seen, will not be back.

UofU Patient February 20, 2022
FARMINGTON HEALTH CENTER

I didn't feel like this provider had interest in me. My appointment was at 11:30, and he was timely. However, I was was back out at the appointment desk (he wanted me to make an appointment for an audiology test) at 11:36. I was wanting to establish care with a PCP and had several concerns. Ringing in my ears was just one of my concerns. He did explain that he wanted to have me evaluated be audiology, that's it. He does note in my visit note that I am aware a medication I am taking can cause tinnitus, HOWEVER-I asked him about that as he was walking me down the hall to the appointment desk! He never mentioned it! That was based on my research. Very disappointed.

Worst dr visit of my life felt absolutely judged I've worked many years in the medical field and have never seen patient care like this will not be having this dr be mine or my families dr

The worst experience I've ever had with a family Medicean physician

UofU Patient February 11, 2022
FARMINGTON HEALTH CENTER

All Good. X-rays were taken and treatment was discussed. Blood pressure has been very high last two visits. Dr. Gavin expressed his concern and follow-up appointment scheduled.

UofU Patient February 10, 2022
FARMINGTON HEALTH CENTER

He was in a hurry to leave. I asked him to look at my Tyroid lab results and give me a prescription for it and he asked me to make another appointment. He spent about 5 minutes with me.

UofU Patient February 08, 2022
FARMINGTON HEALTH CENTER

DR. STADEN WAS VERY THOROUGH AND HAVE ME THE BEST INFORMATION AND MEDICATION I NEED TO ADDRESS MY MEDICAL COVID CONCERN.

UofU Patient February 07, 2022
FARMINGTON HEALTH CENTER

Dr. Van Statton was very good at explaining what was going on, and how things went.

UofU Patient February 04, 2022
FARMINGTON HEALTH CENTER

Asked a question on MyChart, told to come in, when in was promptly redirected to a specialist, and had to push to get the referral added to MyChart in order to actually see a specialist

UofU Patient February 03, 2022
FARMINGTON HEALTH CENTER

The whole appointment lasted about ten minutes for him to say, I don't even want to see people with "xyz condition" Here a referral to someone else. Bye. No other options, no validation, no asking about past experience. Nothing.

Dr. Van Staden provides the best care I've had in my nearly 65 years of life. Superior!!!

Dr Van Staden is very arrogant, he wouldn't listen to my concerns at all. I told him that I'm concerned about the amount of weight I've put on this past year and the concerns I have about it and why. He told me that I shouldn't drink protein drinks because they're high in carbs, I tried to tell him that mine weren't (they only have 4 carbs).He said we butt heads on my care when I tried to tell him that he was incorrect on the amount of movement I get with my job and the exercise program that I was doing. He insisted that the only way to really workout was going to a gym and that the beach body workout was no good. He was familiar with beach body when they had a couple of workouts many years ago but he's not familiar with what they are now which is 100's of workouts to fit any type of activity that you are looking for. I also tried to tell him that I've been retaining alot of water and asked about increasing the mil of my water pill. He told me that in my job I sit too long and that I need to get up and move around more. I tried to tell him that I get up as often as I can for that exact reason and that just because I have a desk does not mean that I'm just sitting at it all the time and that our job requires most of us to get up and move around often. My legs and ankles swell whether I'm on my feet a lot or not but he didn't even look into it. Needless to say I don't feel like he even tried to listen to me, he just made assumptions that weren't true. I will not be going back to him even though he said I'd have to be seen by him again to get a refill on a med.

I really enjoyed this Dr he listened and did not dismiss my concerns.

UofU Patient January 19, 2022
FARMINGTON HEALTH CENTER

This was a yearly wellness exam and I was told that other concerns would need to be scheduled separately because medicare will never accept addition anything during these types of visits.

This was a first time visit to establish a primary care provider. The visit was excellent and Dr. Van Staden was very supportive.

UofU Patient December 10, 2021
FARMINGTON HEALTH CENTER

First time meeting him in person (last year he helped me through a bad illness but it was all virtual). I liked him and am happy to stick with him as my PCP. He is my sons PCP too and my wife and son like him a lot too.

UofU Patient December 10, 2021
FARMINGTON HEALTH CENTER

I received a timely note following my lab results with recommendations from my doctor. Some Lab results were in that same day and others on the next day. The doctor made his comments right after all the results were available. I saw all of the information on the web site. Very convenient.

UofU Patient December 06, 2021

UofU Patient November 05, 2021
FARMINGTON HEALTH CENTER

Some of It's not applicable as it was just a A1 C test and getting my diabetes medicine refilled Dr. Van Staden and I discussed other things and he listened and addressed at each issue thoroughly

UofU Patient October 28, 2021
FARMINGTON HEALTH CENTER

This was my husband's initial visit and the doctor showed real interest in his state of health and needs.

UofU Patient October 22, 2021
FARMINGTON HEALTH CENTER

Great dr. But he Is Always busy, rushing! This time was a wellness visit, I thought he was going to look up at my chart with more care. He would have found that I was on the Emergency room with dizziness few days back.( I made a comment regarding this)Luckily my amazing ENT took care of that. Dr Van Staden is great but he makes me nervous, I asume he has so many patients, he asked about my husband and I thank him for that. He IS very nice but I feel that at least for my wellness visit he could have take more time. I was 10 minutes or more with the nurse who give me the Flu Shot ,she was Excellent!! Caring... With Dr Van Staden? Maybe 7 minutes.Yep.. No more... I check the time, on purpose, because this Is not the first time I feel like this with him, rushing.! .nope. No more.

Dr Gavin is awesome, I love his candor and he seems genuinely concerned about my health. Thank you for your patience and understanding with my COVID questions.

UofU Patient September 21, 2021

Dr wasn't very nice to my daughter who had sever anxiety being looked at he rushed in and didn't really talk to her about what was going to happen no compaction at all

UofU Patient September 12, 2021
FARMINGTON HEALTH CENTER

Dr VanStaden is fantastic! He gave me his diagnosis, explaining things very well, then was great at understanding a triathlete's questions about being able to do a race just 12 days out. He recommended immediate PT, and was confident we could address this by tapering through with therapy. I will absolutely be coming back to Dr VanStaden in the future. It's great to find an excellent doctor!

UofU Patient September 08, 2021
FARMINGTON HEALTH CENTER

Unprofessional and rushed me through the whole process. I was looking for a new primary care doctor and I will not be seeing him again.

UofU Patient September 08, 2021
FARMINGTON HEALTH CENTER

Dr. Van Staden made me feel stupid when I asked if I would be needing a physical, as he stated that I should know my insurance does not cover those. I am new to this insurance so I had no idea preventive care was not covered. He rolled his eyes a few times when he found out I was being treated for chronic pain and I didn't feel that was professional. I was not asking him to follow that part of my care I was just informing him, he did not need to be rude, and after that he seemed to cut the exam short. He listened to my lungs and that was the end. He has a terrible bedside manner, and I will not see him again nor will I recommend anyone ever see him.

UofU Patient September 06, 2021
FARMINGTON HEALTH CENTER

See my previous comments. I will not return to see this provider.

UofU Patient September 06, 2021
FARMINGTON HEALTH CENTER

I really wanted to give this doctor a second chance, Dr. Van Staden seems very confident, and even though I've had a negative experience with him in the past I wanted to keep seeing him. But it seems he is letting his ego get in the way of providing good service. He was offended that I saw a physical therapist for my back problem before him, and simply came to him to get a prescription for muscle relaxers. Since that visit, he has been short, and unhelpful. This annual check up was a chance to see if we could keep working together, But he obviously can't give me a high degree of care based on our last visit. Instead of leaving feedback or comments on any other site I messaged him directly, which you can see in the my chart account. It seems like he has decent reviews on the University of Utah website, but other Dr. grading websites online give him only two out of four stars.

UofU Patient September 01, 2021

Dr. Van Staden was exactly what I needed to get me going in another direction with my health. He was honest but he was kind! I really needed this appointment with him today.

UofU Patient July 12, 2021

Didn't even want to talk to me about my problems
