I have great confidence in Dr Hess, it's just difficult to see her with her limited schedule

MADSEN HEALTH CENTER
First time I saw the doctor or her attending, so we were just getting to know each other.

I had a couple of issues to run past Dr Hess and she is getting me set up for what I need, and explained clearly why she can't give me new meds for one of them, but gave me some new ideas about how to manage it. She is looking to my best health, and not scheduling me for exams or scans that I don't need. I appreciate that.

UofU Patient

MADSEN HEALTH CENTER
Dr Hess seems to have a lot on her mind. Not sure she reads my chart before entering exam room, and while very friendly, don't feel she a very strong personal connection to me or my medical history/concerns. May be expecting too much as this was only my 3rd visit (over the last year).
UofU Patient
April 03, 2021
MADSEN HEALTH CENTER
Dr Hess was completely focused on my needs and concerns and was not rushed or distracted
UofU Patient
