Overall great experience. Resident was great, too.
I loved Dr. Gretchen Oakley's bed/chair side manners. She was 100% better than the past doctor I had. Instruments are smaller and they talk with you before they do anything.
Dr Oakley had excellent bedside manner and was the first ENT to use the endo instrument without causing pain. Her knowledge of the subject matter and her confidence put my wife and I at ease. Such a refreshing outcome.
Great doctor,great person, dedicated to her work and her patients,I'm glad she was part of the team
I saw Dr.Oakley for the first time and honestly it was a waste of time. I was at the hospital for over 2 hours because she was behind. An hour and a half after my appointment time I get called back in to the room. The MA was great. Then the student doc came in and was in and out multiple times while taking a history. Then proceeded to numb my nose with an unlabeled syringe of some sort of medication. Then Dr.O came in for a 5 minute visit and nose scope which was extremely rushed where I couldn't even ask questions before she walked out. I was disappointed and extremely frustrated with my visit.
Friendly and efficient. Very knowledgeable, and listened to me.
She is wonderful and has a great bedside manner
She was highly recommended to me by my other doctors, and I really feel they where right.
She was very kind and helpful. She did talk quite fast which made me slightly feel like she wanted to be done with the appointment. However, she did help me and is trying to get to the bottom of the issue.
Works in a professional manner with your care and health as top priority.
Excellent Dr. I would recommend her to everyone.
She allows input from patient into the treatment plan and accommodates my individual concerns and requests in the treatment plan. Very focused, efficient, knowledgable and a good educator. I am very satisfied I had my surgery and with its results. I think the surgeries she performs are difficult but I can tell she thoroughly enjoys what she does. I trust her care and suggestions.
Dr Oakley is a very patient centered. She was very concerned with my comfort and carefully explained everything that was going to happen. She showed me the instrument she would be using. Dr Oakley has a great personality without the slightest trace of arrogance.
i would highly recommend this provider to anyone requiring assistance in the ENT medical physical area's.
Awesome visit. Dr. Oakley listened carefully to my situation and applied treatment that immediately provided a solution to the problem.
Dr. Oakley was so helpful and really listened to me. She very much wants to help, which is always so great to experience!

My drive to the hospital is almost an hour and a half, I am having some heart problems that I'm trying to get taken care of.

Love her!
On this visit, Dr. Oakley gave me her undivided attention. She spent ample time answering all of my many, involved questions. I felt like she differentiated me from other patients and took the time to make me feel heard. It should be noted there werent the distractions of fellows, residents or other assistants present. Having the doctors focused attention made me feel more secure about asking all of my questions and discussing my personal history. I left feeling very sure about my care with Dr. Oakley and the prospect of surgery.
Always a good experience with Dr Oakley.
Ive had a long-term issue with my nose which I believe is due to a childhood face/head trauma and it recently got worse where breathing in too hard plugs my ear for days - I also have incessant nasal drip. Ive tried nasal sprays in the past and wasnt too happy about going to a specialist only to be provided something I could over the counter and hasnt worked in the past. Its disheartening when you go to a specialist only to be provided the same level of care you can get from your general provider. I wasnt looking for a bandaid fix and was hoping for help. It just feels dismissive and stopped the treatment because steroid treatments (that I may have to do for the rest of my life) can make things worse if your ever stop them and didnt want to have to deal with something like that on top of my other health issues.
Thank you Dr Oakley. I believe you truly understand my condition. I feel better already by stopping the previous meds.
Dr Oakley has offered me options that no one else has considered. I believe she will continue to work with me towards the best solutions available for my specific situation.
Dr. Oakley is very attentive and courteous, not to mention friendly. Her professional appearance and conduct are very much appreciated. She knows her stuff.
Dr. Oakley is a fantastic surgeon and a great doctor. She makes you feel heard during appointments. She is efficient during appointments. She answers all questions and is reassuring! Highly recommend her!
Direct, informative and polite.
Good listener with good exam. Involves patient in decisions of care.
Dr Oakley was easy to communicate with, knowledgeable and understanding. She explained everything in a way I could understand and the reasoning behind it. Cant say enough good about my whole experience. She also helped me get to the bottom of my underlying problem with my GERD and explained the reasons behind my diagnosis.
I think she is the best doctor that anyone could ever find!
Great Doctor make you feel comfortable
Dr. Oakley asked the right questions, listened to my answers, and provided various treatment options. Lots on information, but no pressure to make any decision.
She is easy to discuss issues and sincerely interested in providing help, offering advice and how to follow-up to address my condition. She is a wonderful Physician.
Dr. Oakley has excellent bedside manner and is a very knowledgeable doctor and skilled surgeon. She answered all my questions, made me feel comfortable, and took excellent care of me throughout our clinical visits and my surgery with her.
she's a excellent provider, very caring and explains issues that need to be corrected
She is awesome, very caring and really got my needs met, she changed my life overall, my breathing, my looks, self-esteem etc. I'll remember her for the rest of my life ! Thank You all very much ! God Bless as well !
She is outstanding.
Excellent ! She is the bomb ! Very good at what she does, treats you with respect and just like a real human being, doesn't have an over inflated ego, like some doctors ! Definitely, a 8, in my book ! Thank you, Doctor Oakley! I can breathe again !
Excellent! Appropriate pragmatism (treats patient and not a test or scan)
Great Dr. Lucky to have her
Dr. Oakley was very personable very professional and made me feel very comfortable. I feel that she took care of all of the questions I had and my needs.
The ENT office in St. George was not cutting it, so I drove up to South Jordan from Kanab in a severe winter storm, dodging cars and trailers flipped-over on I-15. Dr. Gretchen Oakley was recommended by the Huntsman Cancer Institute and she is worthy of the time and expense of the trip.
I am 87 and the past couple years Ive been to many doctors and Dr. Oakley and her staff I will give them a 10 I have beenVery satisfied with the U of U hospital thank you
She was amazing, and did a great job with my surgery.
Dr Oakley has been working with me for over 2 years she's been very patient very understanding and willing to work with me he went above and beyond her call of duty she's a true professional
Dr. Oakley is wonderful! She is thorough, listened to my concerns, and kept me informed along the way. I truly appreciate her as a provider.
She is the best, I have recommended her to friends and gave them her card. I sleep so good now and I can rid myself of sinus infections without antibiotics that to her because i can clear my sinuses.
I went to 4 other doctors trying to make sure I felt good with the doctor I chose. This procedure is something I was putting off due to anxiety but when I met Dr Oakley I felt at ease and comfortable going through with it. Her staff is also very caring and I would say 5 star rating
Just what I said before.
Dr. Oakley is amazing! I recommend her to everyone!

Dr Oakley is always so compassionate and respectful. She is very knowledgeable about ENT Issues and provides thorough answers and education. I asked for a partial procedure but she explained why that intervention would not improve my issues. She offered another procedure. This intervention has helped me tremendously. She explained my medications and goals of treatment. I have complete trust in her advice and care. She really spent a lot of time with my exam and visit despite I know they were busy as it was a Monday.
Dr Oakley truly is an amazing and comforting Doctor. She alway explains each step and makes sure you are doing ok.
Dr. Oakley was great. We really felt like she listened to our concerns and considered everything thoughtfully that we were telling her. And that she was very invested in helping us find the right procedure for my daughters issues.
I would recommend Dr. Oakley to anyone! She's the best!
Dr. Oakley has become one of my favorites of the many specialists I regularly see. She's personable, always listens well, is happy to answer questions and discuss options, offers help above and beyond the needs of the appointments (for instance, referrals for other specialties or OTC products that might help alleviate discomfort), and even when the appointments are short they never feel rushed.
Dr Oakley and her assistants are keepers! Good people.
Love Dr Oakley. She's the best!
Dr. Oaklley is a keeper!
I love Dr. Oakley. She is fantastic!
I have been very pleased with both Dr. Oakley & Dr. Gill. They are impressive In not only their knowledge & also their attention to my concerns as well as of course my medical issues.
This was the first time I met Dr Oakley as she was on leave. Dr Oakley was terrific. She explained in detail the findings on my CT scan which substantiate my diagnosis. A thorough physical exam was conducted which I appreciated because some providers still do not closely assess patients since the Inception of the Covid pandemic. She elicited my opinions and Included them In the plan of care. A sign of a great surgeon is when they know surgery is not indicated. She placed surgery on the back burner since my symptoms have improved with medications and treatment of other conditions. Dr Oakley Is an empathetic listener and was very understanding about my recent health challenges. She explained my maintenance prescriptive treatment and the need for long term surveillance of my condition and set the stage for a patient-physician team approach. I felted comforted by her being in my corner.
Great
Medication prescribed by Dr. Godfrey really solved my problem.
She was very good and I would suggest her to a friend. Difficulty getting my meds preauthorized is what gives her 4 vs. 5
It was a wonderful experience working with Dr. Oakley and her team.
Dr. Oakley is amazing! She pieced together my situation and caught a rare condition. She listened to me and asked great questions to understand my problems.

The operation went well except for excess bleeding which required I stay overnight. The recovery room people and the hospital people could not have been more helpful or more professional
Dr. Oakley and her assistant did a great job. No complaints.
good experience
very good discussion with my doctor.
I was given clear feedback and directions.
Dr. Oakley was wonderful at describing exactly what was going on to cause my symptoms and gave me a myriad of options. Her resident was also very kind and helpful. He has a great bedside manner.
I couldn't have asked for a better experience from beginning to end.
Outstanding all around.

Dr. Oakley conveyed confidence and compassion. She spent the time I needed to discuss surgical options, risks and recovery. I would highly recommend her to others!
If you are struggling with a difficult medical problem, this is the place to receive care! I believe that I am FINALLY on the road that will lead me back to MY life!
again, the resident was awesome at explanation and trying to facilitate, but the attending seemed aloof and didn't seem to explain or expand on other concerns I had. if I could rate the resident only, I would rate him as five stars all the way.
Good explanations, but didn't feel like she really listened to my concerns or personal experience.
very good at telling me what was going to happen during surgery
Dr Oakley was very thoughtful in her suggestions
I had hesitation about a procedure. Doctor explained recommended steps and procedure would be the next step. I understood reasons.
Gretchen Oakley was perfect for me. she gave me information, listened and together we made a decision. she took care of my problem. all of this in 30 minutes or less. I highly recommend her.
AMAZING!
Dr. Oakley is amazing. I had so many questions, concerns, etc. and she helped me understand exactly what was happening as I healed from my surgery.
Dr Oakley and I had a terrible connection for our telehealth visit, but she still did her very best to make sure my needs and concerns were addressed and met. She was as wonderful as always!
