Care provider was limited by hospital's policies. My situation is probably atypical, so it's understandable it is not currently covered at the U.

PA just decided that would be better if I would come back on a later day. Never asked me if I would like to have all my treatment done at once as was planned. She did mentioned that because she didn't do the procedure she would charge me for only half of the cost. But at the end of the appointment I was charged in full. Since she worked basically in one leg and only on the front part, so I'm assuming she should only charge me for 1/4 of the procedure. Because the way I was treated, I have no intention to return to have treatment done.

I feel very fortunate to have been able to work w/Dr. Agarwal and the incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and thoughtful team that cared for me during my recent surgery at the U of U Hospital. I consulted with several surgeons before I made my decision to work with her. I have already recommended her to others as well.

I was disappointed with this visit. I came from 7 hours away, she looked at me very quickly said I should start seeing results in a week to two, the issue has only got worse. However she knew I was stressed and sad and she was very kind and comforting

I was called to say the appt would be late and to send pictures then join the video call and stand by for someone to join me. I sent the pictures then got on the video call and waited 1 and 1/2 hrs, because it said if I left the call my appt would be cancelled. After an hr and a half of waiting I hung up and saw I had a message in MyChart responding to my text results. The message gave me post-op instructions but didn't say that my virtual appt had been cancelled. I responded in MyChart with some questions I had, and I have still not heard back. Really annoying.

I just wished I would have had a more in-depth conversation about the plan for recovery. I wasn't told much about the actual recovery process before my appointment. We did talk about enough to get me through until the next visit. We also made a plan together for the next week. She was very kind and I felt safe. I just wasn't sure what to expect and what is normal at this stage of recovery.

Even though my PA is seeing a lot if other patients they took the time to thoroughly explain my surgical procedures. They reviewed the benefits as well as the risks and thing I can do to mitigate my risks for a positive out come. They also discussed post-op and what will take place. They assured ne that they will be checking on me throughout my entire stay. They did an excellent job and I felt they they where very genuine.

Any possibile question was answered quickly and in detail, and staff seemed happy to answer. If anything, I would have liked the staff to take a moment and explain a bit more in depth for my mother, who was not as familiar with my procedure as I am.

Norelle Walzer is absolutely wonderful. I have very few positive experiences in healthcare, especially in trans healthcare, but Norelle really listens, answers questions, and is willing to talk through any and all concerns and really get into details about stuff.She has so much energy and compassion and knowledge and I'm so grateful I was able to talk to her and get all the information and reassurance I needed. The University is very lucky to have her, as was I.
