UofU Patient August 15, 2016
I felt like we're taking to a college student. not thorough not detailed at all. luckily my mom had questions prepared since he didn't think to talk about them.
UofU Patient August 07, 2016The fellow meet with me first, and I really didn't feel a connection with him. When Dr. Agarwal arrived he definitely had more compassion, and information.
UofU Patient July 29, 2016Dr. Jay Agarwal is perfect - never any complaints about him.
UofU Patient July 04, 2016Came for a second opinion. Looking to change to Huntsman from current provider of care but found out Dr. doesn't perform surgery outside of Huntsman. Huntsman not on my ins plan but Dr. is. Once that was determined I felt like I had wasted his time.
UofU Patient June 28, 2016I saw two residents in the two visits Drs Kwok and Garlick and Dr. Agarwal. All were very friendly, knowledgeable, caring and good to be with.
UofU Patient June 22, 2016I have had quite a few bad appointments and stay in the hospital. I feel that there are a lot of times that I am treated as a case instead of a person. I feel that I am not listened to. We have had the same conversation for a month now. The worst part is that I like Dr. Agarwal. I just think that I could be listened to as a patient better.
UofU Patient April 26, 2016Dr. Johns took so much time with me and answered every question thoroughly and understandably. I felt grateful for her kindness.
UofU Patient April 16, 2016Good listener! Thank you!
UofU Patient April 09, 2016dr. Agarwal is excellent as always.
UofU Patient April 05, 2016my provider's is good and I have confidence in him
UofU Patient March 09, 2016For the most part a good experience. I was a little disappointed to learn that nothing could be done with the rippling above my implant on my reconstructed breast. Fat transfers which seemed to be an opinion before were dismissed as not a good option now.
UofU Patient March 07, 2016I highly recommend this care provider but did not appreciate having to wait almost 2.5 hours to be seen by this doctor for only 15 minutes of his time.
UofU Patient March 01, 2016The links to videos made by the breast surgeons and plastic surgeon we viewed prior to the appointment were extremely valuable. They were so comprehensive and had so much information that the actual appointment was much more understandable.
UofU Patient February 10, 2016Seeing so many physicians in one afternoon was a slightly overwhelming but incredible experience. Each physician walked me through what I could expect if I decided to move forward with surgeries, but they also took time to answer every single question I came prepared with and never rushed me along.
UofU Patient January 17, 2016We loved the MA or PA who answered just about all the questions we had. The Physician was also wonderful although we had most of our answers covered previously with the MA/PA! The entire team was fantastic. We are in good hands.
UofU Patient November 29, 2015Really good experience made me and my husband feel very comfortable with the experience even though the best experience going through right now. Dr.Aragawa made it feel that everything is going to be turing out great.
UofU Patient November 21, 2015my care provider has never rushed me and gave not felt rushed.

UofU Patient September 23, 2015Dr. Agarwal seemed more friendly at this visit than at other visits. We were impressed with his cheerfulness and his willingness to anser all questions without rushing.
UofU Patient September 19, 2015I was not told the doctor had actually left and I would not be seeing him at all until after the resident examined me. I waited 90 minutes to see the doctor and nobody told me he left the clinic while I waited.
UofU Patient September 16, 2015Everyone was outstanding in providing care and concern. My husband and I are both appreciative of everyone.
UofU Patient September 12, 2015I will always recommend the Huntsman for medical and surgical care.
UofU Patient August 18, 2015Dr. Agarwal has always treated me so kindly and with such professionalism. His bedside manner is one of the best I've seen. I also appreciate how expert he is at the technical aspects of his job.

UofU Patient June 27, 2015I did not have a scheduled appointment on this day, but Dr. Agarwal squeezed me in because I had a fever, which turned out to be an infection. I am very grateful he was able to squeeze me in.
UofU Patient May 06, 2015Another great experience, he was calming speaking softly and using a terms we could both understand, explained all options, we did not fell rushed

UofU Patient April 21, 2015I drive over seven hours to get to the Huntsman Cancer Institute and I feel like the time I spend in the office sometimes is very short and quick and I feel sometimes that I'm just hurried through

UofU Patient March 26, 2015I am very grateful to have access to such a wonderful provider

The PA got the background information (very thorough and friendly), the physician focused in on the issue and I felt really well taken care of.
UofU Patient December 17, 2014I would like to commend Dr. Mehta (the plastic surgery house officer) and Joanna Manus (PA) for being excellent members of this team. They, in addition to Dr. Agarwal, were very helpful, knowledgeable, thorough and sensitive to me and my needs. Dr. Mehta was able to convey a caring and compassionate demeanor while still maintaining his professionalism. Dr. Agarwal conveyed a sense of quiet confidence but was not intimidating. He thoughtfully and carefully answered all of our questions. I am very appreciative of the excellent care I have received throughout the process of reconstructive surgery.
UofU Patient December 16, 2014dr. Agarwal & his staff are amazing- I would not want anyone else to do my ï¸reconstruction surgery! hands down, they are the best!

UofU Patient November 21, 2014Joanna who works with Dr. Agarwaal is excellent at following through and explaining medical issues.

UofU Patient August 22, 2014This visit about reconstruction comes on the heals of a long course of surgery and chemo. I did not expect to receive so much new information. It was very helpful for planning and decision making.

UofU Patient July 17, 2014I would definitely recommend Dr. Jay Agarwal and his staff to everyone! What an incredible group of caregivers. My sincere appreciation to you all.
UofU Patient July 09, 2014I felt the dr was very capable just not very concerned and this was very low on his priorities.
UofU Patient July 09, 2014I LOVE HUNTSMAN AND ALL THE CARE I HAVE RECEIVED THERE.
UofU Patient July 01, 2014The physician has a wonderfully kind, sensitive, and caring manner that put me and my husband at ease. We were both impressed with his knowledge, professionalism, and expertise. I have full confidence in his ability.
UofU Patient June 02, 2014I could tell Dr. Agarwal was genuinely concerned about the problem I was having and was sad along with me that things weren't going to work out the way we had anticipated. The whole care team were all concerned and helpful and treated me as if I were the most important person they had that day in clinic.
UofU Patient May 26, 2014Dr. Agarwal has been incredibly patient with my strong desire to have the DIEP reconstruction surgery. Because of my old appendicitis surgery scar, he has stood firm and explained that this type of tissue reconstruction would not work well in my situation. Although terribly disappointed, I understand and deeply appreciate his wisdom and concern for my well being.

UofU Patient November 15, 2013I was surprised at the attentiion given by Dr. Agarwal - it has been my experience that they usually just tell me it is not really important and not to worry about it. He was just the opposite.
UofU Patient November 11, 2013Dr. Agarwal cares about both the physical and emotional needs of his patients. He always asks about any concerns that I might have and answers any questions.

UofU Patient May 28, 2013I still don't know what my end result may look like- I had hoped for photos or something to reassure me about the end result. I may need to schedule another visit to get this information firsthand. it would have been comforting to my fears of the unknown for this surgery.

UofU Patient December 05, 2012time spent - while I always feel like the Dr is willing to stay and answer any questions that I have, he only spends a few minutes in the room each time I see him As far as my wound healing (which was part of why I was being seen) I felt that the staff should have been more concerned about it than they were.

UofU Patient November 26, 2012No other place to go to when you need the best.

UofU Patient November 21, 2012Physian had no idea why I was their, nor what my problem was, had to ask me. Was apparent that he did not look at my medical records prior to meeting with me. Should of talked to the Surgen who sent me to him. No confidence in him at all.
