Patient Rating
Patients consistently praise Dr. Pirozzi for her clinical expertise, thoroughness, and focused listening, saying she inspires confidence and trust. Reviewers describe measurable respiratory improvements (improved oxygen transfer and SpO2) and note she actively coordinates with pharmacies and insurers to lower medication costs. Commenters also appreciate her responsiveness via MyChart/phone, time spent explaining results, and willingness to go the extra mile for patient needs.
Generated via Patient Reviews
The patient rating score is an average of all responses on our patient experience survey. The rating averages scores for all questions about care from our providers. The scale on which responses are measured is 1 to 5 with 5 being the best score.
Patient comments are gathered from our patient experience survey and displayed in their entirety. For the convenience of our visitors, some patient comments have been translated from their original language into English while preserving their original meaning as accurately as possible. Patients are de-identified for confidentiality and patient privacy.

Dr. Pirozzi has taken very good care of my pulmonary health ever since treating my difficult pneumonia circa Nov 2018.

In a word, knowing Dr. Pirozzi is part of my health care team allows me to breath easier.

She is a very good doctor. Takes all the time I need during visits. She gets 5 stars.
Dr. Pirozzi was very kind, interested, patient and helpful.
Dr. Pirozzi is first rate. She always exceeds my expectations. She is kind and attentive to my needs. It's so annoying to have my dentists chat with their accomplices while performing their labors. Dr. Pirozzi focuses all her attention on me and my maladies, and she defends my cause and my case. After my appointments she works with her pharmacist to justify my use of Symbicort which retails at a co-pay of $150 per inhaler with Navitus, at $70 apiece. That is the only inhaler I can tolerate for my chronic COPD. Dr. Pirozzi is an assertive defender of her patients and their needs. She is the best pulmonologist I have ever had, and I know whereof I speak. My first bronchial issue was life-threatening: Whooping cough before I reached the age of two'and that was 79 years ago.

Great Dr. and "down to earth" in her explanations and questions and possible courses of action/treatment.
Good thorough dr
She took the time to address my problem and discussed options for treating it. She was also in touch with my rheumatologist about treatment. Very kind and concerned.
Im so glad Dr. Pirozzi is my pulmonologist because of her knowledge and her concern for my health.
Very kind and well informed regarding my plan of care.
As a Doctor she saved my life a year ago . I was having heart problems and wasn't aware she detected the problem
Very thorough and careful to listen to my concerns.
I am always treated in a very informative and respected manner.
She was very thoughtful and thorough with detailed simple explanations. Explained what she was going to do before doing so. Plan of care was very clear. Felt very well taken care of throughout my visit.
She is kind and resourceful in treating my COPD.
i felt very at ease with her
Dr. Pirozzi is a real professional. Shes very easy to talk and explains everything.
Dr. Pirozzi is an amazing doctor. She takes the time to ask questions and listens to the answers.
She could reply faster to requested questions from her patients
I had a great experience and felt like she cared about me and my issues. She listened carefully and gave me a chance to let her know my concerns. I appreciated that she went over the items I didn't understand from the test results on My Chart. I also appreciate that she listened to my lungs while I was there.
Dr Pirozzi is the best - very thorough and doesn't rush through the visit.
I like Dr. Pirozzi very much, she is very nice and listens to what you have to say. Is on the medical needs you have and recommends and orders further treatments that are needed.
Here knowledge of the problems I have and basically the way she seems to care
She listened to me and didn't talk down to me.
Dr. Pirozzi listens to my concerns & questions. She is also willing to coordinate with my allergist to keep my asthma symptoms at bay. I am so fortunate to have her as my pulmonologist.
Very thorough, follow through on things
The U is a wonderful place, we are lucky
Love Dr Pirozzi and her team.
Very good
I'm very impressed with Dr. Pirrozi. She took her time (this was my first regular appointment w/ her), she asked thoughtful questions, and she identified what I thought were the critical issues. Ordered some exams to eliminate some possibilities and got immediately back to me when she got results. Couldn't ask for more.
Good
Dr Purrozi is a very efficient specialist as well as very concerned about my respiratory health.
Very good
Dr.Pirozzi is great! We review everything and plot going forward. Professional, succinct and talks clearly
Excellent care.
My experience is that physicians generally do not explain diagnosis and treatment as well as midlevel practitioners do, and Dr Pirozzi is no exception. I find her to be an excellent physicianand kind and patient person. She tolerates my prying information out of her very well!
Dr. Pirozzi also gave us information for any of our children who might have my inherited health problem so they can be tested. Thank you.
Dr. Pirozzi is always amazing. It is apparent that she has familiarized herself with any labs/services I've add prior to my visit. She is engaged and active in my care. If I have issues between visits, she is responsive through MyChart or phone. I always feel confident in her review and the plan of care.
Dr. Pirozzi is very caring and knowledgeable.
Dr. Pirozzi is always professional
Dr. Pirozzi is good natured and confident, which inspires the patient's security and confidence in her work. As a good colleague and professor, she allowed Kaden the internist under her supervision to make a preliminary assessment of my problems. Then during her examination, she made her own diagnosis of my problems. She then delivered the excellent news of my lab tests taken the month before, which proved her success. For nearly a decade, her treatments have helped me rise above my bronchitis and COPD. On her recommendation back in 2013, I took my first breathing test in the pulmonology lab, and I scored low in oxygen transfer. Due to my maladies, my lungs were transferring oxygen at only around 50% of normal into the bloodstream. In my breathing test last month, however, thanks to her prescriptions and care, my oxygen transfer has increased to the 80th percentile of normal. Dr. Pirozzi epitomizes the Hippocratic oath of the medical profession: she will go the extra mile for the good of the patient. For several years I had been dealing with exorbitant pricing of Symbicort, the only inhaler that I can use that does not leave me hoarse. However, after the participation of my Medicare and my Navitus Medicare supplement coverages, my copay for each Symbicort inhaler was $150 and $112 for generic! Dr. Pirozzi worked with the university pharmacy to obtain a grant from the manufacturer Astra-Zeneca. When that fell through, she again went to bat for me at Navitus. After her negotiations, she obtained the price $69 for each generic inhaler-finally a price that I could afford.Dr. Pirozzi merits your superlative rating: whether it be 5 stars or A+++, -she is tops! To be sure, I mention her and the other excellent doctors I have at the University of Utah. I receive there the best healthcare of my entire life. Dr. Cheryl Pirozzi an outstanding exemplar of both the U of U Hospital and Clinics and one of our significant and revered pulmonologists who has saved the planet from respiratory failure, including the Covid pandemic.
Every doctor I've met with in Pulmonary has been excellent. Dr. Pirozzi is excellent.
Dr. Pirozzi is always prepared for the visit. She reviews tests and current status and upcoming plan in great detail.
