I was in denial about his diagnosis of me having migraines, and I acted immature fighting the fact they were just really bad headaches.

I feel Dr. Prussin was cautious about bringing up possible problems in an effort to avoid alarming me needlessly. I appreciate that, however it means I simply need to be patient for tests and records to come in. While I'm not great at being patient, I'm grateful about not having to stress out about possible outcomes while I wait.
UofU Patient

FARMINGTON HEALTH CENTER
Mostly, it is that I had to wait 10 weeks for him to see me and my nose hurt this whole time and then he took out a full nose crusty and it feels so much better. I had to be the one to tell him that because he started telling me all about what happens at 6 weeks but it had been 10. I think he should have known that before he came in. He only spent the time with me because I asked questions otherwise he would have been in and out very fast.

The only thing was that it was so quick and I don't think of questions really fast so I wish he had given a minute to think if I had any. Mostly I wish he had said how long it would hurt and what I could do about it.
UofU Patient
May 25, 2018
Dr. Prussin is very informing, we appreciate his intent to explain what he is doing and saying in a way that we can understand rather than the medical terminology not everyone knows. We will definitely refer our family/friends to him.
UofU Patient

We were super impressed with this clinic! We have taken our son to another ENT before and we were so impressed with our experience here! Everyone was so friendly, took the time to talk to our son (who loves to talk and can be a bit wild), and really wanted to make sure we understood the situation. Our son was nervous to have a scope in his nose and the staff were so patient and understanding and they didn't want to make him have a bad experience. We needed to go down for x-rays and they walked us downstairs and the assistant was telling jokes to my boys and making them laugh. I really can't say enough nice things about our experience! I have already recommended them to a friend.

First experience at the FHC. I work in healthcare myself (UH) and I have never experienced or seen care as great as what I did at Farmington. Phenomenal work guys! Dr. Wagner(Anesthesia) was amazing with my son and explained things to my ex husband in a way that he would understand. Megan(OR Nurse) was good too and followed all the necessary steps to verify everything was ready to go. Carrie(PACU Nurse) took great care of my child after he woke up and was even holding him to comfort him. She went above and beyond in her care. Dr Prussin was very professional and took excellent care of us from start to finish. Thank you to everyone who was involved in our care that day and helped my son!
UofU Patient

I feel that this doctor will help me find a solution for my healthcare, the appointment was very hurried and I couldn't follow everything he was telling me. I'm glad all of his instructions were typed out by the nurse, because I'd never be able to remember them..

Dr. Prussin was wonderful about including me in decisions about my treatment. He answered all questions, provided explanations about his assessment of my situation, showed me what he could see in the procedure he performed, explained what was normal & what wasn't normal, & discussed options for correcting the problem. He also adapted to my personal preferences in all of this. He was thorough in his assessment & I feel confident in his judgement. As an MD, he combined competence with a good bedside manner. As he gained my trust, I feel very comfortable being open with information as well as comfortable being compliant with his treatment plan.
