    Dr. Tandar is truly the most devoted and caring health care provider. His possession of emotional intelligence is exemplary and the manner by which he treats and cares for his patients is unmatched. Please make an effort to recognize this exceptional and dedicated provider. Why so many of your physicians in this dept and radiology are leaving for Intermountain Health? There is something wrong with the leadership and we as patients will suffer eventually. Please try to keep this great provider here!
