I don't think I've ever met a doctor who seems so thrilled by even the mundane parts of his job. I was laughing within the first few seconds of him coming in the room.

Do wish dr secrest would just emphasize and take more time looking at my moles just felt slightly brush off but not totally
He is so professional, knowledgeable and kind.
I should have kept a journal of all of my previous visits...but still does not compare/repace to having a one-on-one experience which was really good to refresh my memory and either re-visit tried and true remedies and to be fortunate enough to hear what is new and can help without "burning off" everything as was done in the past!

Dr. Secrest was wonderful and I couldn't recommend him highly enough to any parents with preteen and teen children facing acne. He made my daughter feel at ease and even made her laugh. He spent time to thoroughly answer our questions and provided us with a clear treatment plan. I also appreciate that he started with topical treatments but noted that if problems persist or get worse we can look at other options. He is excellent! My daughter is very self conscious about her acne and was reluctant to see a dermatologist but he put her at ease and won her trust. He is amazing. Ten stars!

Dr Secrest addressed my concerns very well.
Checks to make sure I am doing okay
All explained concisely.
Always good
In addition to prescription medication, the doctor provided home remedies and recommended a good moisturizing cream.
I work in healthcare and this was one of the very best experiences with a physician that I have ever had.
Provider was wonderful and took the time to explain different options that we could try.
Doctor Secrets was very friendly, helpful, kind and professional!
This isn't necessarily pertinent to this particular visit, as this was just an acutane renewal appointment, but in my past visits Dr. Secrest has shown all of these very well.
He is the best dermatologist I have ever seen
Dr Secrest is very competent, caring and professional.
Dr. Secrest was so kind, caring and compassionate. I felt very comfortable with his biopsy skill and appreciate his gentle hand on the numbing injection and shaving on the skin.
Can't thank you enough:)
Dr. Opted to freeze area of concern rather than biopsy. I now have a dime sized blister which I believe indicates it is actually cancerous or pre-cancerous? There was no discussion of follow-up.
Amazing listener and educator
Good
Excellent doctor who is concerned about the patient and very clear on explanations. I only wish I would have seen dr secrest years ago.
Dr Seacrest is an excellent physician.
Dr Secrest is the best. I've been to a lot of dermatologists and he's heads and shoulders above the rest. He's fun to talk to while dealing with not-so-fun stuff like skin cancer and makes you feel so comfortable discussing any concerns. I tell everyone I know that they should see him.
Dr. Secrest gave me a few options to choose from. Talked about the pros and cons of each, and even talked about the cost of various treatments to help make a decision.
Dr. Secrest was excellent, knowledgeable, and friendly. His personality was wonderful. He made the visit great and communicated like a friend.
Thank You
He gave options

I would rate higher if possible. High quality care. I was very happy with the treatment I was given.
Dr Secrest was fantastic. While being highly professional, he was also very personable, informative, and caring - in addition to being both humorous and interesting. If only all my interactions with medical professionals could be like this one!! Well done, Dr Secrest!

Dr. Secrest was a pleasure, after a bad experience with my former dermatologist I was nervous about coming in. Dr. Secrest made me feel at ease from the get go, listened to and address my concerns.
I appreciated his concern for my financial challenges as well as my health!

I'm very confident in Dr Seacrest's care and concern for me.
Dr. Seacrest was VERY attentive and relieved a lot of anxiety I had about my issue! Eased my nervousness and reassured me "i would get better"! I felt very relieved after my visit, that's for sure!
Dr. Secrest is the best. He is fun to talk to and very informative. I was asking about some cosmetic issues with my skin and he was so knowledgeable and new exactly what would help. Him and his MA Jessica made me feel so welcome, listened to what my concerns were and gave great suggestions. I would recommend him to anyone who was looking for a dermatologist.
Phenomenal Care!
I liked that she was honest and up front with me!

Great Job
Very impressed
good experience. both dr secrest and staff are great to work with.
Dr. Secrest was very efficient, answered all my questions, and more, and I will definitely be back to see him in the future. I am also scheduling my husband to see him soon, and anyone else who asks for a referral.
He is amazing. He took care of the problems I was having with my skin, but he actually helped me with some things I was depressed about too. He made me feel positive and happy. He has a great caring personality. I still think of some of the advise or ideas daily. I am happier and friendlier to people. He didnt make me feel that I was an old lady that didnt matter
Dr. Secrest was wonderful. He explained the medication to me thoroughly and he said that I could contact him in lieu of an appointment.
This provider was recommended to me by some of my coworkers. He is great!
overall explanation of my condition and results of procedure was very good
I had a really good experience with Dr. Secreast. I debated on making this appointment because I felt like it was such a small issue but he was really nice in explaining that I shouldn't feel bad and if it is a problem for me then it needs to be taken care of. He also did the procedure that same appointment I which I appreciated because my schedule is a little rough to work with. He was also really good at explaining the procedure and what to expect afterwards when the wound heals.
Dr. Seacrest was beyond amazing and professional. I felt safe and fully trusted him, my anxiety level was low. I felt very positive when I left. this hasn't always been the case after negligence at ihc. it's very difficult now to go to the doctors, especially a new one. I was very impressed with Dr Seacrest, his entire staff. you could tell it was a great place to not only be a patient, but also work. standard it seems fir all my appointments and providers at University of Utah facilities. thank you.
I am hypersensitive about my skin/ skin cancer. Dr. Seacrest doesn't dismiss my concerns, but instead does a full exam with no hesitations. I will always drive to Farmington from Salt Lake to be seen by him. High quality of care!
he made sure I understood my treatment plan. he also told me to call back w/any concerns.
By far my favorite care provider to see. I had a very small concern about some minor depression and that was the very first thing he addressed and took it very seriously. He explains the plan so I know exactly what to expect going forward.
I have already recommended Dr. Secrest to one of my friends who is also looking for a dermatologist.
Dr. Secrest is amazing! I wish all my doctors could be as friendly and open as he is.
Clear communication with helpful perspective and expertise
Dr. Secrest is always nice and shows he cares.
Dr. Secrest was the best doctor I've seen in a long time. He was very welcoming and easy to talk to! He was very fast and efficient and treated me with care I will definitely be going back to him! I would recommend him to anyone and everyone!
all went well
Dr Secrest was delightful! He really put my mind at ease and was great! I wish my appointment was longer!
Highly recommend!
This guy was amazing and personable and just great! I hope I never have more skin problems, but if I do I know where to go.
We have yet to discuss proposed treatment as the test results have just been returned.
Dr. Secrest was wonderful! He really took the time to listen and have a discussion with me about my issues. He made a plan I was comfortable with and that worked with my insurance. He explained things thoroughly and was very kind!

Dr. Secrest was one of the best doctors I have ever been to. He was wonderful. I will make my next appointment with him. He was very nice, knows his stuff.

Couldn't be more pleased. Not an unusual or difficult situation, but handled with a relevant level of communication and understanding.
