    Very professional and caring. Asks questions and gives thorough feedback. Appointments are not rushed and as a patient I feel I'm getting the best care possible for my condition. My wife is very impressed with the entire staff and treatment I/we have received since day one.

    Dr Poole has an amazing practice. I live in Grantsville which is 40 miles from SLC. I was given appointments together so I could have a CT scan, breathing tests and seeing Dr Poole all together. I have been able to speak to the office by phone which saved another long trip I am feeling wonderful and finally have my lungs healthy again. I am so grateful!
