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.

Best physician I have ever met and very impressed with his expertise. Remembered my situation and circumstances.
Dr Cushman is the most amazing Doctor. He is so caring and absolutely brilliant in his practice of medicine. He always listens to me intently and works so hard for me to have the best outcome possible. I am so lucky to have found him. The U of U is lucky to have him!
Dr Cushman was precised, experienced, careful and interested in showing me the process of the test, the results and educating me in what it all meant. He took the time to put me at ease with the nature of the test. I was extremely anxious about the test because of an unpleasant and very painful test I had before. He was very considerate of my fear and concerns. He test was a very tolerable experience and the outcome desired was achieved.
Dr Cushman is the best with injections...I have to get them at least one or two times a year...I have gone to others in the past but won't do that again...He is the best, not to mention he so very nice and kind, I won't go to anyone else for my injections...
Sweet. To the point. Referral to a surgeon.
