- Gaffney D Commentary on GROINSS VII.
- Gaffney D Multidisciplinary Conversations with Radiation Oncologist David Gaffney, International Gynecologic Cancer Society (IGCS).
Dr. Gaffney is awesome. Very personable and he knows his stuff!
He is a very personable Dr, always concerned about how I feel and or if I have any concerns.
Dr Gaffney is a fantastic doctor. He was up to date on the latest cancer research and provided me with the best treatment options for my cancer. He took time to answer all of my questions and seemed to really care about helping me get well. I highly recommend him.
Dr. Gaffney was so kind and caring. He included me in the conversation when "my team" was discussing possible treatments. I felt I could talk about my apprehensions.... and how my age (of 80) would "play in the plan" for recovery. I was so impressed! I'm actually not afraid now ... I'm looking forward to being "part of the team".
This physician is not only expert in his field, but excellent bedside manner, very likable.
Dr. Gaffney provided me with the information I needed to make a decision about treatment. I feel confident that I will get excellent care as a result of my visit.
He is a wonderful human and cares about his patients.
Dr Gaffney is professional, very knowledgable, friendly and kind. I trust him completely.

Dr Gaffney is the consummate professional- very knowledgeable, patient, and caring.
He was good to try to reschedule my radiation treatment the same day as my imaging appointment after I had my knee surgery.
Very good dr.
Dr Gaffney explained everything so it was easy to understand and explained the PetScan images so that I could easily understand what they showed
Dr. Gaffney is very knowledgeable and informative about the situation at hand. He is very kind and caring. He is very PATIENT when the patient messes up on the appointment time.

Dr Gaffney and nurses are wonderful
Dr Gaffney is the kindest doctor I have ever been too. He even personally called me to give me information about what I would be doing next, even though he didn't really have to. Such a compassionate, knowledgeable, kind person. I would recommend him to any of my family or friends. He goes the extra mile. I believe he really cares about his patients, and I also believe he is very good at what he does.
Very nice, polite, caring, soft spoken man. Was very pleased with him, the resident and nurse.
Dr. Gafney is a ¿real¿ person who from the very first visit closed the gap between strangers to get to know me and let me know him so that seeing him is a good experience given the circumstances. He's very good at being a human.

Great Doctor
Dr Gaffney is very professional, thorough, and patient. He explained treatments and plans carefully & addressed all my concerns with care.
It's difficult to really form an opinion at this point in my care. I'm in the prep-for-radiology stage.
Answered both my and family's concerns. We did not feel rushed in making a decision.
He is a very skilled and kind doctor. I live out of state and he made special arrangements for a needed procedure to save me from having to make an additional trip back to Salt Lake City.
I have faith in Dr. Gaffney and his team
He's great. Everyone should be so lucky with their radiologist.
Dr Gaffney is it kind very knowledgeable doctor who seems to have my best interests at heart who seems to weigh in all my options and wants to overall help me get well in the best way possible he listens and is very informative I appreciate the opportunity to be treated by him
Great Doctor and very kind!
He is a wonderful doctor.
So far my experience with dr gaff net has just been a consultation. But it was a good visit and I value his input and next steps counseling.
Thank you Dr Gaffney. I know I am receiving the best care possible.
I was there as a follow up to a study in which I am/was a participant. I received infusions during radiation to make cells more receptive to the radiation. I did have a few questions about another Drs.(general surgeon) comments about the effect of radiation on my nutrition. The exchange between Dr. Gaffney and me did not go well. I did get my answer, however.
Kind, competent, efficient.
Very caring and knowledgeable.
Dr Gaffney is an excellent Doctor.
It was very thorough
Dr Gaffney listens to issues of concern and addresses the with kindness and consideration. He helped me to feel comfortable with my decision to do radiation. For that I'm grateful to him.
He is very kind and professional and always gets back to me very quickly whenever I have a question.
Beside my breast cancer, he was prepared and acknowledged my concerns regarding my physical limitations and comorbities. He created a treatment plan for me around those concerns.
Impressively good manner, informative, compassionate, a wonderful doctor.
Dr Gaffney understood my concerns due to my mobility, comorbities and other life limiting issues. He came with a plan to accommodate these issues for me. I very much appreciate his willingness to address my issues in his treatment plan.
Great Doctor!
Dr. Gaffney and his fellow doctor were kind and explained everyhthing that would happen, also explained the medicalese.
Kind and very attentive! Remembered me from 20 years ago. Remembers that I was a coach!!! Helped me relax in a stressful situation.
It is nice to have a caring and informed Dr. Never worry about my care I receive.
He was upbeat and friendly
He's very good
Dr. Gaffney is brilliant. He researches and is extremely knowledgeable, and because of Dr. Gaffney, my visits are possible. I will be ever grateful and thankful to him. There are no words to express his commitment to his patients. It's unsurpassed. Thank you Dr. Gaffney - Kathy
I am very glad that Dr. David K. Gaffney started my treatment 7 years ago. Since that, I am a healthy person, and I always remember who saved my life.
This was my first visit with Dr. Gaffney, he made me feel at ease and was very informative on what was up next for me. He decided radiation would be best and I agree with him, I will start that right after my Oncology appt. He was great.
He is the best!
Dr. Gaffney was so understanding of my situation, and made accommodations for them in such a matter-of-fact way.
Dr. Gaffney is very professional and knowledgeable in his field. His many years of experience caring for Cancer patients speaks volumes about who he is as a person. He listens to his patients with respect, and provides a pathway towards an optimal treatment plan. He consults with other physicians for the best possible outcome. I am very fortunate to have been in his care, and grateful for his continued support as he has provided a level of hope toward healing.
Dr Gafney was great about explaining what was happening. Discussed treatment options, side effects and expected outcome.
He dismissed my concerns because he disagreed with them, but did not actually attempt to explain his position in a way that I could accept it.
Care provider and resident were clear. Care provider showed concern and optimism.
Thanks to the whole staff in the radiation oncology section of Huntsman. Everyone answered my questions and alleyed my fears of radiation...so far? !! Thanks so much.
Took the time to address all my concerns and questions
My experience gave me much peace
Again, so kind and understanding. You hope to never find yourself in this position, but they explained everything in a simple, easy to understand way. They even made me laugh.
Dr Gaffney really wasn't listening to what I thought was going on with my health & got a bit defensive about the conversation
I didn't feel rushed and my questions were answered completely.
Everyone was very kind and helpful!
I've never felt more confidence in my choice of care!
I appreciate Dr. Gaffney's gentle and encouraging manner.
Deeply grateful for the empathetic and personalized care the Dr. Gaffney gives me visit after visit.
Scheduled an appointment for me but did not explain what the appointment is for. Read portal I think I am having c scan or MRI. This was not explained. Doctor would look at e and talk, then look at himself in the mirror and keep talking to his reflections
Doctor, nurse and resident Dr were all fantastic
The rarity of this cancer has left us with many unknown and unanswered questions about the treatment. The best options are being considered.
The student (Adam) and the resident (Dr. Wiel) that accompanied Dr. Gaffney were very professional. Dr. Gaffney however, was not and he made comments about my body that made me feel like a freak of nature and ultimately lead to me having a panic attack in the parking garage.
I wish I had known more about the treatment before I got there because I didn't know what questions to ask about radiation therapy.
Dr. Gaffney's consultation was thorough and relevant in helping me understand the procedure and possible side effects. He made me feel comfortable asking questions, and his responses were informative and to the point.
Excellent
Efficiently completed set up to keep procedure moving
I felt very cared for, made a top priority, and was in such capable hands with every single aspect of my care there. Amazing!
Too many STUDIES! Made the process overwhelming.
Even though I don't "need" radiation therapy the providers PA and MD both understood my desire to move forward with it as a preventive/deterrent to lower my risk of return of cancer.
I have been very impressed with the care I have received
I was treated very well and the treatment was well explained to me. My questions were answered clearly so I had no worries.
This was a most positive and patient supportive virtual meeting. Dr.G was a most positive provider allowing this client to weigh follow up procedures with a more substantive base of info. Very Grateful to this physician.
extremely good
The doctor did a good job of going over my options and the statistics/research given those various options. There seemed to be a little less concern for the risks but I try to remember that most doctors have not actually been through the procedure themselves, so really don't know other than what others may have said they experienced.
Dr. Gaffney and Dr. Gruhl rule! :)
love dr Gaffney
Good
I felt he rushed through this appt where I didn't fully understand my schedule of treatment plan
I like that Dr. Gaffney treats me like an equal. it's so refreshing!!
Dr Gaffney is the BEST!! he was very patient, informative and answered my questions!!!
When you are a cancer patient you always wonder about the return of your CANCER. Dr Gaffney calmed me down before I left. I needed that.
Dr Gaffney was so informative! he was so descriptive in outlining my possible radiation treatments.. pros and cons!!
Everyone we spoke to was kind and understanding.
Dr.Gaffney was great. He took the time to explain my health in great detail. Due to COVID, my husband wasn't able to be in the building but Dr. Gaffney spent time talking to him on speakerphone and answered all his questions. Thanks for the great care!
Dr. Gaffney went far beyond what was required to help me understand the treatment and my need for it. He went out of his way to ease my anxiety over it and checked on me frequently as I received it.
Its scary having cancer but they kept it calm and not so overwhelming.
very good
good
