Dr. Valentine seemed excellent in every way. He listened, was responsive, had sophisticated medical knowledge of Crohn's and IBD generally; was considerate; open-minded...and so on.
UofU Patient July 11, 2016Dr. Valentine is amazing, the very best that you could ever ask for in a doctor. I have highly recommended him to numerous people. his one on one care and amazing bedside manner is top notch. I refuse to see anyone but him for my care. He has been a blessing
UofU Patient April 03, 2016I had a great experience with Dr. Valentine!
UofU Patient March 18, 2016My experience with Dr. Valentine was very positive. He listened well and explained things well. He understood my condition and was concerned that the treatment plan was agreeable to me. I was never sure why the other doctor came in, though, and would have liked an explanation.
UofU Patient March 07, 2016Good experience once I got over how mad I was about the lack of communication around the wait.
UofU Patient February 03, 2016My experiences with all the staff were great. Everyone (esp, pharmacist and GI fellow) was very thorough with history questions. I got physically examined, both for GI/UC symptoms and for swollen joints and inflammation symptoms, which I appreciated. Dr. Valentine was very friendly, answered all my questions, and showed great concern for my well being.
UofU Patient February 01, 2016Dr. scheduled me for a follow up visit - but I'm not really sure why.
