I can't thank Amanda at the University of Utah enough for the incredible care she gave me. After seeing so many doctors without answers, she took the time to really listen, run the right tests, and finally figure out what was going on. She spent so much time with me and truly cared about getting to the bottom of my breathing issues. I'm beyond grateful for her compassion, dedication, and expertise.

Amanda was amazing. She took the time to listen and explain. She didn't rush me to be to the next patient.
