Patients are de-identified for confidentiality and patient privacy.October 04, 2024UH HOSPITALS AND CLINICSMy appointment was a virtual visit only so there were no nurses. The doctor mademoiselle comfortable right away.
September 21, 2024UH HOSPITALS AND CLINICSI really related to Dr Glotzbach and his approach to my health care needs . It made me feel confident moving forward with treatment recommendations
September 07, 2024UH HOSPITALS AND CLINICSFelt very comfortable with him. And would trust him with with my medical needs
July 20, 2024UH HOSPITALS AND CLINICSDr Glotzbach had a reassuring and comprehensive approach in reviewing my medical issue and outlining the treatment plan. Took the time to explain everything in detail and answer all questions.
July 19, 2024UH HOSPITALS AND CLINICSDuring routine screening for some elective surgery I was found to have a congenital heart defect that would have been fatal if it had not been caught. I was unconvinced, asymptomatic and very hesitant to proceed. Dr G's office is over 300mi. from my home, so he coordinated local care and we met viirtually to review testing. By the time surgery happened, I was completely comfortable with both him and his team. Five other board certified cardiac surgeons had never seen this surgery done on an adult. I don't know that I would have had the courage to go forward with this surgery without finding such an experienced, innovative, doctor. He and his staff were at my bedside at least once a day. They were never in a rush. My prognosis now is to go forward in life without the need for more surgery. I'm very grateful for Dr. G and his team. The CVMU nursing team was brilliant! UofU was incredible.The flexibility in my treatment plan and Dr. G's approachable demeanor made the difference in my care
June 15, 2024UH HOSPITALS AND CLINICSI feel very confident that Dr Glotzbach is capable to take care of my heart problem and resolve the issue.
June 15, 2024UH HOSPITALS AND CLINICSVery professional, courteous, kind.
June 14, 2024UH HOSPITALS AND CLINICSDr. Glotzbach is my hero! He saved my life and continues to keep watch on my health.
June 10, 2024UH HOSPITALS AND CLINICSDr. Glatsbach is very good at what he does. He is respectful and caring, he talks everything out so I had a great insight into my procedure. He and his team are caring and supportive, I would highly recommend him for anyone who needs cardiac issues
