Dr. Conroy is a superb physician. She had taken the time to review my fairly complicated medical records and did not waste time reviewing these unnecessarily. She focused on issues where she could help and provided some excellent suggestions while explaining the rationale for each suggestion. This clinic visit was extremely helpful for me.

During the appt., Dr. Conroy consulted with her colleague at Madsen regarding a medication preference I expressed during our meeting. Also, she agreed to provide the prescription which is related to an upcoming surgery with another U of U specialist. Also, she agreed to provide annual physical as part of this appointment at my request.

There was not enough information given to me to give me any idea of the extent of discomfort I would experience. I won't ever be tested in this way again if I have any input in the decision to test.
