what a nice guy!!! Great at explaining things thank you
Cared about us explain things very nice
They are very efficient and timely.
Jacob listens to my concerns and explains his ideas but gives me the ability to make what choices I want regarding my care. He is great to work with and I appreciate the time he takes to listen to my symptoms and how my PCP locally and I want to be on the same page as him regarding care and medications.
The office visit was great, however, it was very difficult to get the prescriptions updated and filled. I had to physically drive to the Farmington location and try to get a written verification of an updated prescription and pay out of pocket to receive an emergency refill medication so that [NAME REMOVED] could take his medication. In summation in was a nightmare!
Very comfortable to be around Very knowledgeable.
He answered all the questions and concerns that I had and gave me positive feedback on my condition.

He was phenomenal! Younger then the other doctor who retired but very refreshing!
U of U cardiology rocks!
I was hoping to meet with Dr. Kemeyou in addition to Jacob Fetzer to discuss my PET results and sarcoidosis treatment options going forward. For this visit Dr. Wever-Pinzon filled in. Other than discussing the PET scan results, which I had already seen there was not much guidance on future treatment and medication options other than to follow up with Hepatology regarding recommended treatment. Overall the visit was not of much value to me as the patient.
Great
Jacob Fetzer performed some unexpected simple, but informative diagnostic physical exams, responded to questions in impressively thorough ways, and fully discussed medication and test options -- all much appreciated.
I don't care for him
I feel so fortunate to have U of U Heart Failure, Recovery, Transplant Team as my care providers! Jennifer Gros, Jacob Fitzer, Dr. Drakos and your entire support team have made me feel very safe and hopeful for the future. Thank you. My family and I appreciate all you are doing.
Jacob listened and explained things very well
Jacob Fetzer, always takes time and explains things very good.
A pleasant complete visit
Nothing in regard to care provider but to the pre visit interview - I talk to a cardiologist every month. I would prefer that rather than go through every medication and supplement one by one if I were asked, "has anything changed". U of U is far and away the most likely to change my medication.
Very informative
Both doctors were amazing. They provided me with details about my condition and gave me the best options regarding my treatment.
I really felt like Jacob was treating me as an individual and that each individual reacts differently to medications, etc.
My heart failure team is amazing! They have taken such great care of me over the last 6 years.
De. Fetter has a very comforting style.
Excellent care provided
he didn't really have a good solution to the problem
Jacob is the best, always addresses any concerns I have
did not go over any possible side effects from immunizations.
Just very nonsatisfied with the billing department. But Jacob was great; very friendly.
was somewhat confusing as they were doubling up doing two procedures into one
the pa was very informative and patient with the questions we had
This was my first contact with Jacob Fetzer, PA. I found him very well versed on the history of my cardiac challenges - his questions were very much on point - I found him to be a very good listener. His manner was most cordial and he was careful to explain those things he thought i needed to know about my condition and any changes in regimen. Very confidence inspiring and an excellent experience.
very professional and easy to talk to
excellent
Jacob Fetzer and Jill Waldron are the best Practitioners I have ever had. The heart failure team is amazing and I love everyone on staff, doctors, PA's, nurses but Haje & Jiill have my back and understand my situation which is so comforting and reassuring that I'm in the best practice possible.
