I loved the carefree, laid back, ease of talking with me. I felt like Dr. Volkman and Dr. Smiley were talking to me, they were genuinely engaged, not on a I'm the doctor and you are the patient, listen to me and do what i say, but a genuine caring attitude for what my trepidation and fears are. They explained the process, understood me and put me at ease.

UofU Patient
May 30, 2018
I started coming to the clinic a tear and a half ago, bringing my friend. I went to all of her appointments, classes, surgery, and follow up appointments. I knew then that this is the care I wanted.

UofU Patient

I couldn't be happier with Dr. Volckmann

UofU Patient
March 27, 2018
Hands down, Dr. Volckmann is the most qualified, caring, considerate, talented, knowledgeable Bariatric Surgeon in the western United States. He is respectful, knows his stuff and always makes us feel welcome at the clinic. There's no one else I'd ever want to be in charge of my bariatric care. My husband, who was at the visit too feels exactly the same way. Dr. Volckmann cares about us as human beings, not just people who show up for an annual visit that you review with and move out the door as quickly as possible to get on to the next patient. We will be forever grateful for him and what he has done for us. He is truly a hero in my eyes. He not only saved our lives (healthwise) he gave us out lives back. Thank you, Dr. Volckmann!

UofU Patient
March 26, 2018
I am very grateful for Dr. Volkmans honesty and for letting me be open and emotional! I also loved how he knew about me before coming in the room. I also loved that the lady he sent in before gathered so much information and was able to help as well!

UofU Patient
March 07, 2018
took the time to understand my needs and was very compassionate

UofU Patient
February 11, 2018
my time with the Dr. at first was uncomfortable. I was very emotional and the Dr. was very considerate to me. He made me very aware of all that was going to happen with my upcoming surgery and all the things I need to do and assured me that if I needed help with anything that they would all be there whenever I needed. By the time I left the hospital I was feeling so much better than when I arrived there. He stayed and answer any questions that I needed answered. I would definitely recommend the Dr. and his staff to anyone.

Rebecca is always so wonderful. She always seems happy to see me and always takes time to answer my questions. She is so good at explaining things. I feel like I am able to be more successful in managing my health care because she takes the time to go over things. She seems to really enjoy what she does.

Very pleased with my experience with Dr. Volckmann in particular, I appreciate the time he spent with me reviewing multiple questions I had - excellent care

UofU Patient
September 18, 2017
Dr Volckmann and staff of doctors are not afraid of saying "I don't know" if they don't know. It is a strength that not all physicians have.

UofU Patient
September 18, 2017
This was an excellent experience, I am totally grateful to Dr Volckmann for his attention and kindness. I have never left any appointment have practically being cured of my main problem. I will be forever grateful for his knowledge.

I have a lot of confidence in Dr Volckmann. He listens to me and that matters. I know my body and when I'm in trouble. He's also very thoughtful and transparent. He's one of a handful of providers I trust. He's kind and patient. I love Amy and Emily. They are keepers!!!

UofU Patient
July 10, 2017
Dr Volckmann gives me a great deal of confidence because in order to setup the appointment he gathered all my medical records from IHC, and UoU before he saw me. This behavior is very uncommon for appointments with new patients. I like very much the fact that he likes to have the medical history before the visit to the clinic. I have never seen something like this. This gathering of information shows how serious he is about treating patients.

UofU Patient
June 19, 2017
This is an amazing group/clinic.. They are very caring and accommodating. I'll never go anywhere else!

UofU Patient

I have often recommended Dr Volckmann to my friends and family.

UofU Patient
February 12, 2017
Dr Volkman did not discuss my lab results with me at all? Hopefully he felt all was good?

UofU Patient
February 03, 2017
This is a serious step I am taking and I appreciate the time spent with me describing the risks and hopefully benefits of surgery.

UofU Patient
January 28, 2017
Dr. Volckman was very complete in making sure I knew what I was going to have done and addressed all my concerns and scheduled some appointments, blood work and meetings with a dietician.

UofU Patient
December 19, 2016
Dr. Volckmann and his staff were phenomenal. I felt respected and not judged. And I felt like they truly cared for my outcome.

UofU Patient
November 13, 2016
GREAT visit! Dr. Vilkman is awesome. My only concern was that he didn't mention potential side effects from the prescription, which seem to be many, based on what the pharmacy gave me. I really like this doctor!

UofU Patient
October 31, 2016
There is very little I can offer by way of constructive criticism for Dr. Volckmann, his office staff/nurses, etc. I love my visits here.

UofU Patient
July 19, 2016
He spent sufficient time looking at study results and exploring options to try to improve my condition.

UofU Patient
July 12, 2016
I was given medication I told them I couldn't take after surgery and they said that was all I could have I was sick and vomiting on my way home after surgery that was my only real complaint

UofU Patient

UofU Patient
March 08, 2016
I would definitely recommend Dr Volckmann. He is realistic but compassionate and encouraging, which is key when dealing with bariatric surgery patients.

UofU Patient
February 06, 2016
I waited nearly an hour before seeing the doctor. He hardly knew anything about my medical history even those things that specifically regarded his procedures and aftercare. It was a pretty disheartening experience.

UofU Patient
February 03, 2016
Doctor Valkman was a good example of the way a Doctor should always treat their patients

UofU Patient
November 23, 2015

UofU Patient
October 07, 2015

UofU Patient
October 05, 2015
I would recommend Dr Volckmann to anyone looking into this procedure. He's honest & realistic, but still caring and genuinely wants to help his patients be successful. Clinic was super busy, but he took plenty of time to review everything with me and make sure I understood and that all my questions were answered, and didn't make me feel rushed.

UofU Patient
September 21, 2015
I met with both a PA (and a Med Student) and my surgeon, Dr. Volckmann. I found them all to be very kind and patient with my questions and concerns.

UofU Patient
September 08, 2015
I always enjoy my visits with Dr. Volckmann.

UofU Patient
August 21, 2015
the PA made it seem when we talked about my colitus he led me to believe that we would not be able to do the surgery at all. didn't really give an explanation as to why he was conserned about it. the Dr. explained why they needed to look into it and everything felt better. i also was told i would have my post op app made and it wasnt. was told that by the dr and to this day (8-21-15) i have yet to hear about the post op appointment date.

UofU Patient
August 18, 2015
Dr. Volckmann is very friendly and easy to work with. He was very thorough with my Lab results and talked through any concerns that he had. I have the upmost confidence in his work!

UofU Patient
August 15, 2015
Dr. Volckmann will always be my surgeon of choice. This is my third surgery with him and he is best I know of. I will always recommend him.

UofU Patient
August 01, 2015
he gave me some options to think about, which is assisting me in making an informed decision

UofU Patient
July 13, 2015
the physician was running behind at no fault but medical attention that was given to his patients

UofU Patient
July 13, 2015
they did a very good job

UofU Patient
July 13, 2015
again...(:

UofU Patient
July 11, 2015
spent a good amount of time with me to answer questions and explain the surgery without making me feel like he was in a rush. he made me feel like I was his only concern at the time along with all of the staff.

UofU Patient
July 01, 2015
Best doctor I have EVER been to! He is not all self-consumed, but rather, is very willing to include the advice/recommendations of other doctors/PA's

UofU Patient
May 30, 2015
Sense, I have been through some of the treatments for treating me with my meds. I have decided to let the doctor learn something that I have already known that I can't handle some meds over others. I feel it is my responsibility to want to work with the doctor because I am asking for help and not expecting the doctor to do all of the work.

UofU Patient
May 27, 2015
Dr. Volkman couldn't have been better. Informative, spent time and anticipated and answered questions I had. Gave me lots of options. I found him (and therefore this clinic) by online ratings, but I will be recommending him personally to friends!

UofU Patient
May 13, 2015
I liked my first interaction with Dr. Volkmann. He's definitely not "warm-fuzzy" per se, but he's honest, sincere, and I felt he was genuinely concerned for what was in my best interest.

UofU Patient
May 11, 2015
all and all the whole team was awsome

UofU Patient
May 05, 2015
Dr. Volkman was fantastic. Few surgeons care personally about patients like he does. Took lots of time, treated me with great respect. Answered all my questions. Great doctor.

Very good always

UofU Patient
March 28, 2014
With this being my first visit with Dr. Volckman I feel very comfortable and confident that he truly wants to help me. My experience with my previous provider was not pleasing because I didn't see any type of understanding or concern for my wellbeing. With this visit, I completely trust his advice with the direction he feels is the best way to go. I'm very appreciative of the whole visit.

UofU Patient

UofU Patient
August 06, 2013
Dr. Volkman was very knowledgeable about the subject and presented the information and all issues concerned in a very open, patient, friendly manner. Not at any point did he make me feel uncomfortable or intimidated. Nor was he condescending.

UofU Patient
May 13, 2013
I saw a recent med school graduate working on residency first - he performed one examination, then I waited while he relayed the info to Dr. Volckmann, who came in later and performed another (identical) examination. I don't mind helping a new doctor gain experience (they did ask my permission, which I gave), but it would be more time efficient to have Volckmann attend the first exam to avoid doing the same thing twice.

UofU Patient
April 29, 2013
very satisfied

UofU Patient
February 11, 2013
I was very impressed with Dr. Volkmann. He was thorough and listened to all my questions and concerns.

UofU Patient
October 16, 2012
There was a lot of information given to me. It came fast enough that I couldn't begin to remember it all. But I was given printed literature and instructions, so hope everything I was told is contained in the handouts I received.

UofU Patient
September 23, 2012
I appreciated the thorough explanation of what he did during surgery when I asked him to fill me in about it. He was very willing to tell me all about it including drawing pictures. He even answered some personal questions I asked about his family.

UofU Patient
July 31, 2012

UofU Patient

I haven't felt with medical care I've received in the past such caring and personalized care as I have received by the folks in Dr. Volckmann's office... Thank you!

UofU Patient
April 28, 2012
Dr Volckmann was very comfortable to be around. He had a sense of humor and was easy to talk to.

UofU Patient
March 31, 2012
This was my first visit with Dr. Volckman and I felt that he went above the expected visit time for me but made me feel like he had all the time in the world just for me.
