HUNTSMAN CANCER CENTER
Dr. K had his position set on what was going on and seemed unprepared and surprised that a patient would be well read on research articles regarding my diagnosis. In fact he told me to stop talking at one point. However, he did allow me to argue my point later. Though he did say he did not give any weight to what I was saying. I felt dismissed and my concerns felt minimized. It felt like I was meeting the typical stereotypical white coat ego. And after having an acute leukemia and having two major surgeries, I'm well aquainted.

Dr. K has always been very clear in his explanations. In our meetings over a period of almost six months he always takes his time in explaining his plan, and in answering my questions and concerns. I have never felt rushed, quite the contrary, always felt that I was treated as a patient whos deserved the time needed for explanations and discussions. And in this meeting he gave me the good news that my cancer was in "complete remssion". I will of course be followed closely for some time, and the situation may change, but, for the time being, it looks like the treatment has been very successful. Thank you very much, Dr. K, for the excellent care I have received from you. I I have great confidence in your judgement and very much appreciate the style in which you have treated me.
UofU Patient

UofU Patient
February 20, 2017
Dr. Kovacsovics and his staff involved in my visits were all wonderful. My condition, future treatment and questions were well addressed in terms I understood. I've never had such a level of trust as I have in Dr. Kovacsovics. He is very thorough and searched for answers until he was sure he had the right answers. There are no words to describe my level of appreciation and gratitude for him.
UofU Patient

Dr Kovacsovics explained carefully my situation and the process by which he came to decisions on treatment, in particular the meetings with other specialists and the interpretation of test results. Obviously a careful diagnosis. I have great confidence in the doctor and the process.
UofU Patient
December 19, 2016
Dr K explained that more information and consultation with other specialists was needed for proper diagnosis and treatment, and arranged for the necessary follow-up. His plan seemed very reasonable, I came out feeling that I was in good hands.

Dr K is awesome
UofU Patient
September 30, 2016
PA was apologetic about Dr being late, but was able to provide answers to most questions, was courteous and able to address concerns. Previously, Dr K was unwilling to answer questions, stating, "too many questions!, as well as, "how many times do I have to answer these questions?" (or) on several occasions, stated "we will address that when the time comes" On initial admittance, we were told to "ask as many questions as necessary, and if you dont feel confident in the answer, ask again". We felt that we were lost in the process, toward the end, when some of our scheduled appts were apparently lost. Staff was apologetic, we felt left out.
UofU Patient
September 21, 2016
Dr. Kovascovics gave us such good service. He is very thorough, and knowledgeable. He explained things well to my NP daughter and to me in a way I could understand. His friendly, kind manner was very appreciated.

Dr Kovacsovics and Mary are a great team they keep me informed of my condition and are on top of any new treatments available. They are the best.

when I was waiting for Dr to come to see me that I had been waiting for about 40 min Dr came into.
UofU Patient

I really like Dr. K. he listens to my wants about my treatment and offers additional help if I want it.
UofU Patient
January 16, 2015
Very, very good experience from access point, etc. I am getting tired, however, of being asked to do a survey at a minimum of once a week.
UofU Patient
November 28, 2014
I like and respect Dr. Kovacsovics, his direct manner, and straightforward manner. I appreciated his comments about re-staging my disease and the tests that would entail. I look forward to being under his care.
UofU Patient
November 04, 2014
We spent probably 20 minutes with the nurse and maybe 1 other person in the exam room before the Doctor came in. I realize he has a lot of people to see each day but he interrupted our comments often as we made statements to him that might better explain our concerns. When we are interrupted like that and that many times, it tells me he thinks his time is worth more than our time. Also, when we are coming to a place like Huntsman for the first time, everyone is not up to speed on everything discussed. In my case, I need it repeated certainly 2 or 3 times so I get the message. In this visit with this doctor, I felt I could not do that.
UofU Patient
October 12, 2014
I have never been treated with such kindness and concern anywhere else. I felt especially well cared for and understood by the doctors. They didn't make me feel like they only had 5 minutes to give me and they made sure we understood everything and was comfortable with all decisions made. This was the most respectful visit with a doctor I have ever had
UofU Patient
July 07, 2014
Dr. Nance and Dr. Kovascovics have been very informative regarding my condition. I feel at ease when they explain test results to me in a manner that I can understand. They are excellent doctors.

Better than the experience at LDS hospital
UofU Patient
June 20, 2014
My bone marrow biopsy was a "pleasant" experience. Renee talked to me the entire time and made me feel at ease during the procedure.
UofU Patient
May 28, 2014
I have the utmost respect for Dr. Kovacsovics. He never seems too busy when he is examining me and any questions or concerns I have regarding my condition, Dr. Kovacsovics always attentively listens then explains things to me in terms I can understand. He is the utmost professional.
UofU Patient
May 20, 2014
I noticed that Dr Tibor J Kovacsovics was a little hurry from questions and some not understand - an inter peter had a little hard time to transferred from English to ASL so hopefully next visit and have Dr Kovacsovics be a little patience and take time.
UofU Patient
May 11, 2014
They take the time to answer all of our questions and concerns. So far the communications about treatment drugs and side-effects have been very good. That helps a lot with this chemo stuff.
UofU Patient
April 13, 2014
Was a good experience
UofU Patient
April 08, 2014
Dr. Kovacsovics was very courteous and explained my results and further care options clearly. Since the results so far are quite positive, I have good confidence in his judement and care recommendations.
UofU Patient
December 07, 2013
Great.
UofU Patient
October 07, 2013
I have already recommended the Huntsman to others. I have been to several hospitals because of my cancer and I can honestly say that this is the first hospital where I feel at home. This is also one of the only hospitals where i have not felt like I had to be my own Doctor. I trust my team and know they are keeping close watch on me. This really takes a lot of stress off my shoulders.
UofU Patient
October 05, 2013
Excellent doctor!
UofU Patient
September 25, 2013
I appreciated the cautious approach rather than just jumping into Chemo. I'm glad there will be more tests done and evaluated before a diagnosis and treatment plan will be advised.
UofU Patient
August 23, 2013
As an inpatient when I expressed concern on a certain issue to my treatment I was very impressed that they had a specialist from every possible area come talk to me about my options.
UofU Patient
April 21, 2013
good
UofU Patient
April 16, 2013
Dr K spoke to other people about choices in my treatment but I only know of the one choice that I was told, I would really like to try something less harmful to my body.
