He didn't seem interested or compassionate regarding my issue. I felt like he probably made up his mind I wasn't a surgery case he would do, and I felt dismissed from the start instead of curious to help solve a difficult problem.

He is a nice guy and seems to know a lot about the field. I would guess he is a good surgeon. But the visit was rushed and rather uncomfortable. The resident I saw before he came into the room was awful.

UH HOSPITALS AND CLINICS

It's only the beginning stages of this health saga, but thus far, I'm very heartened by the careful, thorough, thoughtful care extended to me. I no longer feel either "abandoned to (understandable) long waits in an Emergency Room" or the need to make decisions on my own in areas where I'm not an expert and sincerely need help. I am very grateful to Dr. Pickron and his kind staff.

2024-10-20
HUNTSMAN CANCER CENTER

Dr. Pickron shows no compassion or empathy towards me and my condition. If you have T had any experience with the diagnosis, it would be very thoughtful if he would take a few minutes and explain the diagnosis and everything associated with it. This is very emotionally traumatic and I expected much more. I would not recommend him if asked.

2024-10-13

Dr. Pickron is extremely knowledgeable. He is able to help us understand what was going on with our disabled child. He talked with us about all of the possible directions he/we could go and then provided us with his recommendations and why he was making the specific recommendations. He reviewed the process in detail as well as what we would learn from upcoming procedures and how that would help him provide us the best guide forward. His knowledge and years of experience helped us to know we were in the right place and that our child would receive the proper care. It was amazing how he took into account everything about our son, his needs, his medical records and made his recommendation. He was able to answer all of our questions and provided us information and a team that we could reach out to at any time. We know that this is a difficult time in our sons life but that we have the best help and support possible.

I never saw the doctor long enough to really form an opinion. I was just upset that this couldn't have been handled over the phone. The morning of the appointment the doctor had a family emergency and was late. Those things happen but I was disappointed that the nurse didn't keep me informed on whether the doctor was going to show or when he got there. I sat in waiting room for an hour and a half and it would have been nice for the nurse or doctor to just say I'm sorry you had to wait .

UH HOSPITALS AND CLINICS

I was glad that he was a able to remove the skin tag. However, I was forced to make the decision while lying on my side, not looking at the doctor, with my ass out after he stuck a finger in me. He should have allowed me to have a conversation with him face to face with my clothes on to make that decision. The previous two operations I had on my anus required many stitches and pain management. He did not tell me if there would be stitches until after I repeatedly asked the scope of the procedure. I should have been allowed to consent while in a less vulnerable position where I could look him in the face. I was glad that he was able to treat me even though his staff was ruthless. I did give my consent but in a very vulnerable position.
