I really liked that Vino described the length of time I'd need to be eating gluten in order to have an effective blood test for celiac's disease. Helps to know what will show up and what won't.

UofU Patient
November 30, 2019
my doctors is a very good doctor for what she treats me for

UofU Patient
November 20, 2019
She was willing to consider other options for medicine, due to my kidney issues.

UofU Patient
November 06, 2019
Vino is THE BEST. She takes time, instills confidence, is positive, explains things well. I feel optimistic leaving my appointments with her.

UofU Patient
October 29, 2019
My provider was empathetic to my condition and went out of her way to make sure my questions were answered.

UofU Patient
September 17, 2019
I actually broke into tears because I felt like she really cared about me and my situation and wanted to help me deal with it in a manor I felt comfortable with.

UofU Patient
September 14, 2019
She covers everything pretty well. Thoughtful

UofU Patient
September 06, 2019
She was very good in all areas.

UofU Patient
August 26, 2019
Vino is thorough. Gives options to try and alternative options. I like that.

UofU Patient
August 18, 2019
I was referred to the wrong facility/doctor. This facility/doctor does not do any interventions with my condition (cricopharyngeal bar). Vino was very apologetic and did everything possible to direct us to the correct clinic. She could not have been more helpful and was able to refer us to the correct doctor. However my wife and I live in Idaho Falls and this was a wasted drive and night's lodging.

UofU Patient
July 22, 2019
I wanted to try a slightly different course of treatment and Dr Vino readily agreed, making sure I understood what was required.

UofU Patient
July 14, 2019
caregiver exceptional in her patient interaction. she shows concern and care.

UofU Patient
July 04, 2019
Vino is so wonderful! When I see her it is like talking to an old friend. She just wants to help you feel better and is very professional, knowledgeable, kind, and compassionate. I love seeing her and will refer anyone to see her! Thanks Vino!

UofU Patient
June 22, 2019
Outstanding service as always. Friendly, courteous, personable, and always builds rapport. Addresses all questions and concerns and spends appropriate amount of time with me making sure all questions are answered and that we have a plan moving forward until the next visit. Would highly recommend Dr. V to any patient with IBD.

UofU Patient
June 04, 2019
Dr Vino was just wonderful to me, she was kind and practical and encouraging.

UofU Patient
June 01, 2019
knowledgeable and caring

UofU Patient
May 26, 2019
Filled out the sheet that was handed to me, and wrote down a couple concerns I was having, and she didn't even look at the paperwork.

UofU Patient
May 14, 2019
Vino was excellent in her attention and help. I was very pleased with her!

UofU Patient
May 13, 2019
very good took the time to explain things in ways I could understand and was excellent to be a one on one and good eye contact

UofU Patient
May 06, 2019
Vino is wonderful to work with, she's thorough and detailed and makes sure all loose ends are addressed. I appreciate her knowledge and expertise in helping me process a new diagnosis and all the changes that it brings.

UofU Patient
April 30, 2019
she is an exceptional caregiver. She spent all the time that was needed to assess and process a response.

UofU Patient
April 13, 2019
wonderful personnel. I have confidence in all concerned

UofU Patient
April 08, 2019
The doctor was very thorough, he explained all the things that could go wrong but was confident that nothing would go wrong. He was calm and friendly and walked me through everything that was going to happen.

UofU Patient
March 10, 2019
she didn't know how to help and was willing to admit that. she scheduled me for a few more diagnostic studies and then a referral to someone more specialized that might know.

UofU Patient
February 17, 2019
Dr. Vino has been instrumental in helping me get through and help to solve the gastrointestinal issues I have experienced for years. She does a phenomenal job to explain what steps to take and why. And, if she is unsure of something, she takes the time to consult with other physicians. Dr. Vino has been fantastic!

UofU Patient
February 12, 2019
She didn't explain reasons for medications or listen to my concerns. She spoke too fast for me to understand. I needed time to consider and ask questions.

UofU Patient
February 08, 2019
good

UofU Patient
December 22, 2018
I was so surprised she remembered me from an appointment two years ago and my first colonoscopy I love her.

UofU Patient
December 16, 2018
Vino, PA was amazing to talk to. She is very knowledgeable and I look forward to working with her for my medical needs. I feel like we've gotten closer to a diagnosis in one visit than the months I spent with another GI specialist out of state before I moved to Utah.

UofU Patient
December 09, 2018
VINO IS VERY NICE ASAND CONFIDENT PA,

UofU Patient
December 09, 2018
Dr. Vino made me feel as though she had plenty of time to answer all my questions. Took time to ensure we discussed all my questions & medications without rushing.

UofU Patient
December 07, 2018
She was wonderful! Very caring and through

UofU Patient
December 04, 2018
Care provider also gave me recommendations for primary care physicians at my request. I appreciated this advice and her professional insight greatly.

UofU Patient
December 02, 2018
Vino and Dr Valentine are great. The support staff at the GI clinic were disappointing on this visit.

UofU Patient
November 24, 2018
Only gi Dr that diagnosed me correctly after seeing other health providers for five years. She is extremely knowledgeable and friendly.

UofU Patient
October 15, 2018
I don't feel she took my problem seriously.i don't feel that she really listened or understood the severity of my pain.

UofU Patient
October 07, 2018
She is wonderful to work with.

UofU Patient
July 05, 2018
This was my first time seeing her and she was so so nice. I felt confident with everything she told me and the care she prescribed.

UofU Patient
July 04, 2018
Dr. Vino is friendly, professional and provides exceptional care. If not for her, I most likely would have put off my test for another year, which would not have been a good idea. I am grateful for her attention and advice.

UofU Patient
June 24, 2018
She didn't really have an explanation for my symptoms so she ordered every test under the sun so we can figure it out. it made me feel like she genuinely cared about me personally and not just about me being another patient on the schedule.

UofU Patient
June 15, 2018
provider chose not to discuss my questions regarding previous health procedures and hospital stays. I felt that my questions and concerns were important factors in finding solutions that may improve my current conditions.

UofU Patient
June 08, 2018
i was so happy with the compassion and care I received.

UofU Patient
May 29, 2018
Fantastic doctor! I'm so grateful we connected and for the information provided.

UofU Patient
May 02, 2018
Exceptional provider who was friendly and thorough.

UofU Patient
March 31, 2018
My first visit with PA Vino. I was told she was great, and I would agree. And I'm not an easy one to please.

UofU Patient
March 19, 2018
I was very impressed with my care provider and her staff

UofU Patient
February 15, 2018
I would have liked some more time to process our conversation and ask a couple more questions, but I understand the PA's have other patients. I spent more time with the nurse than the PA. It would be great if that ratio was the other way around.

UofU Patient
February 12, 2018
Vino is amazing, she pin-pointed my problem, and knew what to do. She didn't mess around with unnecessary expensive tests which has been my experience with many other U of U doctors.

UofU Patient
February 04, 2018
Vino is great! So personable, caring and compassionate.

UofU Patient
January 22, 2018
Great experience. Thank you.

UofU Patient
December 18, 2017
everyone that I work with was great :-)

UofU Patient
December 16, 2017
This was a good experience, I'm just waiting for follow up questions to be answered and have concerns about why I have been experiencing the problems found in the X-ray results. This has been going on now for more than one year and I don't believe that taking miralax as recommended is going to solve the problem. I have been on it for along time and increasing it is not solving WHY it is happening or what is causing the problem. This is what I am concerned about. I want to resolve this issue but feel we need to figure out the WHY behind it. I need to find answers.

UofU Patient
December 14, 2017
I love seeing Dr. V., I have had nothing but the greatest. confidence in her.

UofU Patient
December 07, 2017
Dr. Veno gave me choices about my care and gave me 3 things we could do before I had to drive back to SLC from Star Valley, WY

UofU Patient
October 17, 2017
DR VINO IS AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN A GREAT DR. SHE ALWAYS QUICKLY RESPONDS TO MY EMAILS AND REQUESTS THRU MYCHART. SHE IS COMFORTABLE TO SPEAK WITH AND I FEEL I'M WHERE I AM TODAY BECAUSE OF HER. THANK YOU DR VINO!!

UofU Patient
October 17, 2017
everyone was great to work with:-)

UofU Patient
October 15, 2017
I felt she was concerned about my problem and took steps to resolve it.

UofU Patient
September 05, 2017
Vino Kolandavelu is extremely skllled and was Vino Kolandavalu was able to diagnose my medical issue She is an asset to the GI Dept

UofU Patient
July 30, 2017
Am so fortunate to have VinoKolandavelu as my PA in the GI clinic. She is knowledgeable, can aring and very responsive to messages sent through my chartVino is an incredible asset to the GI clinic.

UofU Patient
June 25, 2017
she got there after I did, and seemed rushed. she set me up for a procedure but was unclear about the follow up. was very willing to have me contact her through mychart though.

UofU Patient
June 07, 2017
Top rate healthcare experience; professional, thorough, and friendly.

UofU Patient
May 27, 2017
Felt like I was being pushed away because she felt as if they were doing all the could for me already. I have not seen anyone in GI in a year and a half and she made me feel like I was wasting her time.

UofU Patient
May 22, 2017
excellent

UofU Patient
May 01, 2017
excellent

UofU Patient
April 29, 2017
I love Dr. Vino she is the best and is very attentive. I have never had such a doctor before to listen so thoroughly.

UofU Patient
April 09, 2017
Excellent Staff and Doctor!

UofU Patient
April 05, 2017
How fortunate the University Hospital is to have Vino on the staff of the GI clinic

UofU Patient
April 03, 2017
Vino is an excellent provider. I don't mind waiting a bit for her as she takes the time to make sure I am heard and she makes sure I am informed

UofU Patient
March 28, 2017
Vino is always so kind and compassionate, concerned and listens to my issues.

UofU Patient
March 16, 2017
Care provider was unable to do anything for me and seemed reluctant to refer me to anyone else.

UofU Patient
February 09, 2017
was of little to absolutely no help. I will be enraged if I ever have to see Dr. Vino again. The doctor offered no help and just told me what to do. I am a person, I pay a lot of money, I pay my insurance a lot of money and I don't deserve to be treated like I was .

UofU Patient
January 12, 2017
Oftentimes one feels rushed when visiting with a care provider. I did not feel this way what so ever during my exam with the PA. She was very patient, took the time to answer all of my questions and listen to my concerns, and provided great recommendations for health modifications.

UofU Patient
December 20, 2016
Thank you! Excellent medical staff!

UofU Patient
December 14, 2016
love vino

UofU Patient
December 12, 2016
This care provider gave me every confidence in her. She was fantastic, I cannot say enough about how nice and courteous she was to me and how she explained everything to me and the "plan" she had for me to see what we needed to do for the future to find out what was wrong with me. I feel as if she will get to the bottom of it.

UofU Patient
December 10, 2016
Vino is AWESOME!!

UofU Patient
December 05, 2016
Vino K is an excellent skilled practitioner whom I trust with my GI problems

UofU Patient
December 01, 2016
This was my first appointment with the U of U medical staff. Experience was very good.

UofU Patient
November 18, 2016
I was scheduled as a returning patient, unbeknownst to me, and had to rush to fill out new patient information. Vinodhini Kolandavelu, and the nurse that assisted in taking notes, had misinformation that was contrary to the symptoms I've been experiencing since early September. An email was sent to Kolandavelu requesting information be corrected. I hold reservation in being seen by her as well as recommending people to see her. The willingness to explain the condition, beyond that i have micro inflammation, or causes was nonexistent.

UofU Patient
November 14, 2016
I really like dr. Vino and have great confidence in her. I think we have very informative discussions concerning my issues.

UofU Patient
November 11, 2016
I felt like I was not listened to about all of my symptoms. I had to interject with more detail. I felt like visit was very short.

UofU Patient
November 09, 2016
She was great in talking and listening to me in spite of my physical disability.

UofU Patient
October 01, 2016
One of the best experiences I have ever had seeing a medical professional. I felt heard, and she was ready and willing to help me find a solution to my health problems. Fantastic experience all around.

UofU Patient
September 21, 2016
Vino K is an excellent provider. her knowledge and intuition have greatly improved my GI problems

UofU Patient
August 26, 2016
Vino is always very pleasant and helpful.

UofU Patient
August 24, 2016
good

UofU Patient
August 16, 2016
I would recommend Dr. Vino to anybody in an instant. She takes such good care of me, and helps me with anything I need, whether it be questions about medications, surgeries, or anything at all.

UofU Patient
August 09, 2016
Vino is so committed to helping me get well. She is an excellent diagnostician who has helped me get a handle on my GI tract problems. She is an asset to the GI Clinic.

UofU Patient
July 31, 2016
she talked really fast and sometimes didn't wait for me to finish my thought before jumping in

UofU Patient
July 19, 2016
It was a positive experience and I appreciated her thoroughness in helping me to solve the problem.

UofU Patient
July 19, 2016
My Doctor took the time on a very busy day, to talk about my digestive issues. I believe we are finally going to find out what is wrong with me. I have been through many Doctors and ER visits.

UofU Patient
July 14, 2016
I was really impressed with my care provider (Can't remember how to spell her name). I think we came up with some really good working goals. Also it was very nice that she gave me a direct number to the nurses station and since my visit I have called in a few times and have received a great response from the nurses and from the NP.

UofU Patient
July 12, 2016
Vino seems to really care about the well-being of her patients.

UofU Patient
July 11, 2016
I have and will continue to recommend Vino. She is extraordinary and i'm grateful to have her as my go-to GI specialist.

UofU Patient
July 07, 2016
Provider was especially helpful regarding RX/

UofU Patient
June 28, 2016
I felt that this provider would not truly listen to anything I had to say. When I explained my concerns, she quickly turned the conversation to something that didn't relate to my concern. I became very frustrated and quit talking because I felt that I would not get the explanations and answers that I needed to have. In fact, I didn't even ask all of my questions.

UofU Patient
May 22, 2016
She was very professional, listened to my concerns and gave me options for treatment. I told her of worries I had about going on a trip with my condition and she gave me advice on how it could be handled. Very satisfied with the visit.

UofU Patient
May 03, 2016
ok

UofU Patient
May 02, 2016
I had a toddler in tow - not an ideal situation but necessary on that day. Provider was very patient with me having to redirect the little persons attention and activity. I so appreciated this....

UofU Patient
May 01, 2016
Good experience.

UofU Patient
April 23, 2016
Dr Vino spent more time then I was expecting. she and the MA were exceptional.

UofU Patient
April 04, 2016
I was very impressed with Vino. it was my first time meeting her and I could tell she had taken the time to read my chart. she was very nice, concerned and easy to chat with. I would strongly recommend her.

UofU Patient
April 03, 2016
I came to this clinic to (1) understand the stomach symptoms that I developed while on travel, (2) understand the results of my ensuing endoscopy, and (3) develop management plan for the future (diet etc...). While I really appreciate the amount of time that Vinodhini spent with me, I left without any clear answers on what I need to do next. I was really looking for preventive measures to help me get off medication. Nonetheless, I think Vinodhini is a great example of what doctors need to do when they see patients - spend more than 15 minutes with a patient and treat them as a whole - not just the symptoms. I had wished that she spent the time with me to put a plan in action.

UofU Patient
March 15, 2016
Best visit. Vino was very thorough, clear and friendly.

UofU Patient
March 07, 2016
I have met with several doctors and PAs and Vino has been the best by far.

UofU Patient
February 16, 2016
This was my first time meeting with her, my previous appointments had been with Dr. Valentine. I was very impressed. I thought she did an excellent job. She was thorough, considerate, and informative.

UofU Patient
February 16, 2016
My doctors are amazing and help me with my disease 110%

UofU Patient
February 14, 2016
Vino is an excellent care provider

UofU Patient
February 04, 2016
Have made a referral and my friend is seeing this provider

UofU Patient
February 01, 2016
I feel so fortunate to have Vino as my PA. She always follows through with bloodwork,diagnostic tests that should have been performed in 10/15 . Vino was able to give me a diagnosis based on this information. Without Vino's medical expertise and caring manner I would not be on top of my medical problems with my GI tract.

UofU Patient
January 26, 2016
Vinodhini Kolandavelu was wonderful. I felt listened to, my questions were clearly answered, and I felt like I was very well taken care of. I cannot say enough how good of an experience this was-I don't feel well and she was very kind and attentive.

UofU Patient
November 18, 2015
my Dr was Great!!

UofU Patient
September 08, 2015
Vino is so kind. She remembers me personally and listens and addresses all concerns

UofU Patient
September 08, 2015
she was Great and very very Helpfull answered a lot of Q's that I had and had not yet been addressed or answered.

UofU Patient
August 23, 2015
Vino K is an excellent PA who listens carefully, Has excellent suggestions, and if question arises about treatment discusses strategies with attending physician. Very satisfied with her care of me.

UofU Patient
August 08, 2015
i guess the visit was good except it was suspose to be about my last procedure. And the results were not in yet. I think, we should of rescheduled.

UofU Patient
July 31, 2015
excellent doctor.

UofU Patient
May 07, 2015
Vino was exceptional! Vino thoroughly explained everything and took the time to understand my problems and gave me resolutions and options and follow up instructions. I was so happy that she ordered test to be done, it gave me piece of mind. I know that I am in good hands and she was personable, friendly and easy to talk with! Thanks Vino!

UofU Patient
May 06, 2015
An excellent provider. Listens carefully,discusses options.Always responds to messages with good suggestions and if I still am experiencing difficulties sees me as soon as possible.

UofU Patient
May 05, 2015
I realize that I had fallen asleep waiting for the PA and consequently my mind may have been a bit fuzzy, but I had a great deal of trouble understanding her explanation of my problem and potential treatment. I had to stop her an one point and ask for a better explanation. And even then, I had to ask again for clarification. I also feel that an apology should have been offered for the wait time I experienced.

UofU Patient
May 03, 2015
The PA was very good, spent a lot of time addressing my questions and concerns. I felt extremely satisfied with my experience.

UofU Patient
April 28, 2015
Vino has answered so many questions I have with my new found issues. Even when I use MyChart she is quick to respond in detail so I understand my option and what's going on.

UofU Patient
April 18, 2015
very pleased

UofU Patient
April 13, 2015
great provider

UofU Patient
April 01, 2015
Vino is a great doctor, my medical situation is hard to fully understand and there's only so many ways you can "dumb" it down for me.

UofU Patient
March 26, 2015
I had a hard time understanding some of what the provider was saying. U feel the visit could have taken place on the phone because I was only in there for 10 mins with the doc. And it takes me over 45 mins to get to the clunic

UofU Patient
March 24, 2015
Veno was very informative and genuinely concerned with answering my questions.

UofU Patient
March 16, 2015
Felt like care provider was recommending most interventional, invasive, extreme procedures for treating my ongoing chronic issues. I have no confidence in her judgment.

UofU Patient
March 09, 2015
I did not answer the confidence and recommendation questions because while the rating for the provider is very high I am not so confident in the follow through of those who work for her.

UofU Patient
March 05, 2015
Vino is amazing. She listens, explain things in terms you understand, you never feel pressure or that you didn't have enough time with her

UofU Patient
February 17, 2015
I really like her a lot very nice, caring and polite lady for that reason I keep going to her.

UofU Patient
February 09, 2015
Dr. Vino was incredible. She listened to all my concerns and addressed them all with care. She gave me good pointers to help my situation and keeps me up to date on all my exam results. I love that she really cares about my wellbeing because she shows it!

UofU Patient
February 03, 2015
Vinodhini Kolandeavelu was exceptional in the care she gave me. She listened and she discussed my concerns in depth. I never felt rushed. I left the office visit knowing the exact health issue and how to care for the issue. I have been to other health providers with this specific health issue and have not gotten same care or information. Ms. Kolandavelu was excellent in her care. Thank you!

UofU Patient
January 12, 2015
Good.

UofU Patient
November 17, 2014
She was very good!

UofU Patient
October 27, 2014
Great!

UofU Patient
September 28, 2014
She was great!

UofU Patient
September 19, 2014
Between making the appt and being seen (appx 4 weeks) I had a lot happen in my life and was having a very hard time. It was mostly unrelated to why I was being seen. The PA (I can't remember how her name was spelled) was so incredibly nice and caring and listened to me vent. She was genuinely concerned and offered whatever support I needed to get at the hospital before I left. I left the clinic with news that I really didn't want to hear that requires further testing, but mentally and emotionally in much better shape because of how genuine and caring she was.

UofU Patient
September 08, 2014
My PA is so personable and provided such a comforting and warm environment. She is very knowledgeable and she listened and acted on my concerns.

UofU Patient
August 27, 2014
I like how she retells what we talked about and what is the next step for action. Also a print out is great so I don't forget what we discussed.

UofU Patient
August 10, 2014
Vino is so qualified as a PA in Clinic 3. She listens carefully to the issues I raise, carefully evaluates the matter, and makes excellent suggestions as to how to handle issues with my GI tract.

UofU Patient
July 20, 2014
This was my first time in the GI clinic. I was made to feel very at ease and unrushed. I've been sick a very long time and dr's appointments can be very frustrating but my experience in the gi clinic left me feeling very hopeful for the future and like I was in very good hands.

UofU Patient
July 14, 2014
SEEMED LIKE SHE WAS IN A HURRY, I ENDED UP LEAVING, NOT KNOWING EXACTLY WHAT I SHOULD DO IF THE MED'S DID, OR DID NOT WORK, I AM STILL CONFUSED.

UofU Patient
July 13, 2014
Vino is great! She is knowledgeable and caring.

UofU Patient
July 12, 2014
When the I first made the appointment, I was nervous. I was very much put at ease.

UofU Patient
July 05, 2014
she was great and I would put my trust in her for years to come

UofU Patient
June 30, 2014
I don't feel confident in being cared by Vino. She may have extensive experience with common GI issues but I do not believe she is experienced enough to deal with difficult issues like gastroparesis and its related conditions.

UofU Patient
June 29, 2014
I'm sorry, but Vino was completely unhelpful. Just wanted to get rid of me and never come back even though she said my condition would reoccur. She doesn't want to deal with something that a bandaid won't fix. Very disappointed in care.

UofU Patient
June 22, 2014
I feel so fortunate to work with Vino. She identifies the problem, discusses possible treatments and includes me in the discussion. The GI clinic is quite fortunate to have her on the staff. Also, she never seems rushed and gives you her full attention, though I know her schedule is full.

UofU Patient
June 21, 2014
I was very impressed with Vino

UofU Patient
June 04, 2014
Like I said after 10 minutes of talking to DR. VINO I was upset and mad and I walked out. I wanted her to run more test and she insisted on putting me on more medication when the other 6 to 8 meds didn't work, so I asked for a CATSCAN or a MRI to be done and that's when she offered another med. now I have blood in my stool and I'M having a COLONOSCOPY done on the 16th of this month

UofU Patient
May 30, 2014
Vino was great. Easy to talk to. Knowledgeable. Provided options for treatment.

UofU Patient
April 27, 2014
Was originally told Dr. Valentine would come in at the end of each visit, but he didn't again. Also, was told by Vino that she would talk to Valentine about meds and let me know. It has been a week and no contact. Will send message to her.

UofU Patient
April 07, 2014
I really won't go anywhere else.

UofU Patient
March 17, 2014
Bad experience and a waste of my money, I left there crying, she did nothing to check out my symptoms., and nothing to help, I am sorry to say that, I dont like saying anything bad, but she did nothing to help me.

UofU Patient
March 14, 2014
Vino has been wonderful to work with. She thoroughly explains things to me and makes note of all symptoms/problems.

UofU Patient
February 17, 2014
I did not receive a prescription for Potassium. I thought I would get one being that the reason I have been ill was because of my low Potassium levels.

UofU Patient
February 08, 2014
Vino is an excellent caregiver. She makes me feel confident that we are in this together and is informative about choices/consequences regarding treatment for my ongoing health issues. She is clear with instructions for medications, follow-up, etc. and answers my questions thoughtfully.

Questions blown off. Answers don't seem credible. Told me test results were normal when the results indicated they were abnormal. Answer to that was "Radiologists just give suggestions. It's really normal." Lack of follow through in getting tests back.

I had to explain several times to the PA what problems I was experiencing. It took a while for her to understand. I really liked that she gave me several options on my treatment. That made me feel like I was in control of my health.

Had to ask for test results and it took a few days for an answer. I would like to know if a MD is overseeing and following my care. I don't have complete confidence in this provider but staff won't allow me to see a MD without the PA referring me to an MD.

I am just so frustrated with my problem. I have had constant nausea for six and 1/2 months and no medicines work for me. No one seems to know what to do to help me. I am getting so depressed about it.

see prior comments. In addition, I had blood tests and xrays taken 3 weeks prior to follow up appointment and she did not call with the results. Inexcusable to wait. In addition, at my follow up apppointment, she forgot to tell me the results of the blood tests - which showed I had a problem that needed medication. She had her assistant call me later in the day. Vino needs to read the patient reports before meeting with patient and cover everything thoroughly.

Dr. was very thorough and informative. She gave us a plan that we could use in case of relapse and another plan in case of another relapse. She sent us home with test kit, script and directions. She asked us if we had any further questions several times.

Strangely it seemed she had a bad impression of Utah and the University of Utah.

She was fine. Like usual.

She was very helpful, and acknowledged all of my concerns, regardless of how big or small they may actually have been. But I probably won't recommend her because I'm only 18 and frankly I don't know that I have many friends or acquaintances who have any plans of visiting a gastroenterologist.

I thought Vino was very thorough and actually asked more (and more pertinent questions) than other care providers I've seen in the past 6 months.

Vino was very helpful, I was impressed with her vast Knowledge and espcially appreciated her efforts to include me in the decisions about my treatment, because that is very important to me, or I feel like I have no opions.

Dr Viino was so amazing. My husband and I learned so much from her. We never felt rushed. We felt like we were the only patient Dr Viino had that day because she listened to every comment or concern we had and she took the time to respond at length until we all felt that the communication was understood by all. It was simply astonishing to have a doctor take so much time with just us. We are still amazed by the experience we had with Dr Viino.

Vino allowed my daughter, who is a family practice doctor in Nampa, to be included in a phone coversation during my visit. This meant so much to me

UofU Patient
June 26, 2012
I'm not sure if the care provider was hesitant giving too much information before seeing the test results but as a result I left the appointment more concerned about my condition. I do have a follow up appointment which might change the way I feel.

UofU Patient

She could improve on her bedside manner a little. I felt that she knew what she was talking about, but she didn't explain things very well and was not very sympathetic.

Treatment plan was appropriate and fit the circumstances perfectly.
