We liked him so much that we are going to have him take over my care for my liver even though that means driving to SLC 3-4 times per year. He's worth it.

Very good experience after a miserable prep - prep was necessary, though. Dr. had done this procedure for me before this one - He was thorough & he remembered me from before.
UofU Patient

I was told by a doctor over the phone that my esophagus would be stretched to fix the issue with the tapering at the base of the esophagus. when I came out of surgery the doctor that did the surgery said that they didn't stretch it and only did a biopsy. stretching it was the ENTIRE reason for my visit and it wasn't done. I don't know if the two doctors didn't talk to each other or if the second doctor didn't read the orders or something but there was definitely a lack of communication. I'll be going elsewhere for the next procedure.

I was not fully out of the anesthesia blur when both the physician and nurse spoke with me about the results and procedure. I was required to ask my family member if they even came and spoke to me.
