Ms Schindler's was very thorough in her examination of me. She asked many questions of me to make sure all of my issues were covered.
Outstanding communication and care.
She was great taking care of me during the bone marrow procedure. I felt no pain while she performed the bone marrow. It is on of the best bone marrows I have had.
I loved my appointment with Andrea and felt super good about it all. I'm serious in my ratings she, Dr. Shami and other staff are the best staff I've had at huntsman.
Andy is just the best.
Andy is amazing. I have requested her for my next biopsy. She is the consummate professional.
very professional and personable. She is supportive of my progress and I look forward to my visits.
She was kind, explained the procedure in a way I understood. She apologized over and over again that she couldn't do the procedure. It wasn't her fault but she felt so bad about it.

IÕve been with Dr. ShamiÕs t am and had Andrea for almost 5 years. We have a great relationship and IÕm so grateful for them all.
If you want a bone marrow biopsy done with zero pain and tiny discomfort...got to Andrea Schindler! Her many years of experience do not go unnoticed as she talks you through the procedure and delivers with precision and before you know it, it's over. Never in my years of treatment have I had such a wonderful experience with a BMB. She was incredible and I hope I get her again in the future! Thank you Andie!
Best interaction I have ever had.
She was awesome!
Andrea is outstanding and we love the excellent care she provides.
So friendly and kind. Was so great at explaining the procedure she was doing and why it needed to be performed. Excellent care.
Smart and fabulous!
I wish I had the ability to adequately describe how incredible my experience with Andrea Schindler was at the University of Utah's Hospital was! Never have my questions, concerns, and trepidations been so thoroughly addressed while validating each one. She is such a wonderfully talented person with an uncanny ability to ¿hear¿ you, and put you in a calm and ready state before a procedure. As if that weren't enough, then you're the beneficiary of her years of experience in perfecting her art. My personal experience couldn't have been better, and I enthusiastically recommend you seek out her services. I honestly can't possibly give her higher marks in her communication, empathy, and expert skills. I'm so thankful she was the one I was lucky enough to have perform my bone marrow biopsy!
Andi is well informed and compassionate. She has an abundance of patience and is always pleasant and helpful and is a good listener. We have many questions and she always has a reasonable answer and proves over and over again her expertise along with the ability to understand our concerns
Andrea Schindler was amazing! She performed my procedure with minimal pain. She created an environment that was soothing and calming. She has a very calming manner about her and took the time to ensure I was as comfortable as possible. She explained each part of the process as we were going through it. I couldn't ask for a better experience for what is often a very painful procedure. I highly recommend her!
Andrea was so kind and very professional, she made my experience so much better then I expected.
Highly recommend Andrea to all cancer patients.
The best care you could ever imagine'caring, professional, knowledgeable!
Andrea was very helpful in addressing all questions and concerns today.
One of the best that I have had the pleasure of meeting and having a procedure done in your hospital. This person needs and deserves recognition for her ability and professional conduct and also for making you feel like a person and not a number in their day. Please extend this to her and thank her for all she does. Because I believe her and those like her that make your hospital what it is. [NAME REMOVED]
Very caring and fun to talk with. Very knowledgeable.
She is knowledgeable and caring. I highly recommend her.
Andrea is very professional. Her background experience with BMT helps her work extremely well with people that are being care for by both the haematological and BMT teams (things like recognizing GVHD in early stages) when you might not have BMT appointment that week.
The care provided has been excellent
Andi Schindler is a phenomenal health care provider! She is so knowledgeable and so careful in providing clear explanations and great advice regarding this disease.

Highly recommend Andrea. If I need to repeat the procedure, I hope to see her again.
Ande is incredibly knowledgable in her field and so willing to take the time to talk about what she knows. I feel the treatment of my ALL has been greatly enhanced by her participation in my care. I will always be grateful to her.
