UofU Patient August 31, 2016
Always feel like I receive excellent care.
UofU Patient August 23, 2016Dr Hyngstrom did an outstanding job explaining the results of scans, need for biopsy, how melanoma might have occurred and other questions I had, but I never had to ask. The resident was also helpful. I really appreciated how quickly he got me scheduled for the lung biopsy and then contacted me the day following with the results. I drove 1250 miles round trip so it was especially appreciated to accomplish so much during my visit. All were very cognizant of my travel and seemed to move mountains to help me.
UofU Patient June 29, 2016Could not be more satisfied with Dr. Hyngstrom and his team, especially Abby, Marianne Bowling and the other nurses there. He not only makes me feel like he cares about me, but I believe he truly does. And that's awesome.
