I really appreciate how he takes care with me and is very good at communicating.
U of u is the best in every aspect of treatment
listened and cared about my issue
He is a great Doctor Who cares and is very thorough.
Very knowledgeable and competent
Very pleased with his explanations regarding my situation. Listened to my concerns and recommended things that I could do while being treated.
I am very impressed with the competence of Dr. Gee.
I was happy to see that he was eager to get me back up and running
Dr. Gee and his assistant are great.
Excellent care, great job, bedside manner- not great.
Dr. Gee does an amazing job of explaining my issues and was able to pinpoint my injuries. I've had two separate and different injuries with the same knee over the past 6 months, he helped me each time, where I have come back to what I feel like is a full recovery and/or full strength. His experience really shows! Thank you Dr. Gee!
Received PRP from Dr. Gee. The team was an hour late to my appointment. The whole procedure was extremely rushed ' no explanation of the treatment, healing timelines, and a very brief explanation of post-care. There are many clinics offering PRP for $500-600 and would suggest others go to another clinic, and the treatment is a commodity but patient care has better quality at other clinics.
I would 100% recommend Dr. Gee
Ohly two visits with Dr. Gee. this first time I felt comfortable and in good hands of care
I had a compound injury to my ankle and foot that included multiple fractures, both sides of my ankle broke from my foot bone, tendons and ligaments were ripped and I couldn't get the proper care from a podiatrist in the town where I live. I went seven weeks in extreme pain, unable to drive to get to work, and needed help. I came to the University of Utah to get a second opinion to get my greatly needed help and Dr. Christopher Gee, and the staff was able to help me get out of pain. I was able to go back to work within two days of seeing him. Dr. Gee's knowledge of my injury and ability to communicate with me and assist me with my injury was exceptional. I didn't realize the difference in medical care until I came to Dr. Christopher Gee.
Dr. Is very easy to talk to.
Dr. Gee is the BEST! He listens and cares about his patients.
Excellent.
Very nice
Dr. Gee and his medical assistant were very kind. I believe her name was Siena and she went beyond the call of duty to help me with my orthopedic boot and help me wash off my leg
Dr. Gee has a very easy manner when talking with him. He explains things that you can easily relate to.
Dr. Gee listened carefully and attentively to all my questions about my aging knee and the difficulty I'm having. He explained in great detail what my knee X ray showed. His physical examination of my knee was very gentle. We discussed different options to help me be more comfortable and assured me that while my almost 87year old knee would not return to its original stable state there are exercises and lotions that may help me be more comfortable. I will pursue physical therapy as recommended to help myself. I couldn't ask for a more attentive, patient, positive, encouraging doctor. Thank you.
I highly recommend Dr Ger
Very kind and respectful.
I have tremendous gratitude for the expert care, provided in such a timely manner. I would, however, have appreciated more detailed with the after care instructions. Such as specifics regarding aerobic activity, resistance training and return to sports, including timelines, how to best protect the PRP joint, etc. in addition; What other lifestyle adaptations can be made to optimize outcomes. Supplements? Nutrition guidelines? Internet searches provided far greater detail than the MyChart one page document. That would be my only suggestion
Through my whole procedure he explained what he was doing and let me know if it might be a little uncomfortable during certain steps of it. I really appreciated the heads up.
Investigating what insurance will allow.
He is an outstanding physician.
Very thorough. I feel like my injury is in good hands.
Excellent doctor who cares about his patients.
He was very down to earth and supportive of me staying physically active
Dr. Gee is the master! I appreciate his personal connection with his patients and truly wants to help us get back to some normalcy.

Wowsa! Dr. Gee is such an engaging physician, very smart, down-to-earth, easy to talk with, always is very inclusive of differing opinions, educates and teaches while providing great information to come up with a care plan that everyone agrees to and I felt heard throughout the process. Super job!

I really appreciate the care that I was given. Thanks again.
He is great at what
My time with Dr. Gee was comfortable and a partnership in my care and treatment the moment he stepped into the exam room. He showed me the X rays and pointed out to me what was causing the pain. We talked about options and both agreed upon the best plan of action for me.
Great job.
1st time visit & he made me feel important & explained everything so I could understand it. Very appreciated.
Even though I was secretly hoping for a magical, immediate cure of some sort, I sincerely appreciate Dr. Gee's conservative approach to improving my injury. He took his time with me, discussed options for stepping up treatment interventions later if needed, and had a great bedside manner throughout my visit with him.
I will for sure recommend Dr.Gee!

Excellent doctor. I am very happy on the treatment provided on my broken foot by Dr Gee, I gladly recommend him
Dr. Gee had reviewed my file and looked at the x-rays of my leg. I thought maybe he would give me an injection in my knee, but he said he doesn't do injections unless you are in serious pain, which I wasn't. Instead, he gave me exercises for my knee and leg for the previous pain that I have had.
Dr Gee is great. He is professional while being warm. He takes time to listen as well as explain options. I trust him.
