Truly a wonderful caring physician; his whole team is top notch.
Dr. Glotzbach was great. I think he did an amazing job with the surgery. He was very kind and caring after the surgery. He answered all of my questions, took time to explain things and didn't act like he was in a hurry to run off somewhere. Very please with him.
Well, if there's any further work to be done, I'll be sure to come see him again. We both hope not, but who knows for sure.
I find him to be very honest, kind, explaining information. I trust him with my life before and I'll do it again. HE'S THE BEST!!!!!!
Excellent surgeon and has an excellent team he works with.
I have been very lucky to have Dr. G as my cardiac specialist.

Great team and doctor to have!
I can highly recommend Dr Glotzbach to perform my surgery. After the remote overview he held with me, I am confident things will turn out well. Kudos to him and his staff!
Dr Glotzbach has an outstanding bedside manner and definitely eased my fears about my procedure.
Informative and caring
He's the best. I trust him with life
He was so compassionate when he told me I needed to get open heart surgery a year ago. He has continued to provide excellent care in my follow up appointments since.
Dr. Glotzbach is an excellent physician.
Dr. Glotzbach is a very personable, kind and caring physician
He's very easy to talk to and patient. He has an excellent reputation in his field and I'm glad he is on my case.
Excellent care
Dr. Glotzbach is a top notch surgeon. One would have to look far and wide to find a professional that rivals his skills and his teams skills. If someone is unlucky enough with their health to require Dr. Glotzbach's care they will only receive the finest health care. Want wish only the best to the Dr. and his family. [NAME REMOVED]
I'm very pleased to have Dr Glotzbach treating my heart condition. He is very knowledgeable and capable to solve my problems.Thanks, [NAME REMOVED]
I'm very happy with Dr. Glotzbach he has been very good to talk with and explained everything in detail, and it shows how much he cares about his patients.
I highly recommend Dr Glotzbach and the entire staff within this practice.
Personable and professional. I'm facing a serious surgery. I feel comfortable with my choice of Dr.Glotzbach to do this surgery. I researched him and I feel comfortable with my choice. The U of U has also been great to deal with.
Dr Glotzbach was very informative and explained and answered my questions with clarity. The entire team was exceptional.
Such a nice Dr. very easy to talk to.
Totally trustworthy
My appointment was a virtual visit only so there were no nurses. The doctor mademoiselle comfortable right away.
I really related to Dr Glotzbach and his approach to my health care needs . It made me feel confident moving forward with treatment recommendations
Felt very comfortable with him. And would trust him with with my medical needs
Dr Glotzbach had a reassuring and comprehensive approach in reviewing my medical issue and outlining the treatment plan. Took the time to explain everything in detail and answer all questions.
During routine screening for some elective surgery I was found to have a congenital heart defect that would have been fatal if it had not been caught. I was unconvinced, asymptomatic and very hesitant to proceed. Dr G's office is over 300mi. from my home, so he coordinated local care and we met viirtually to review testing. By the time surgery happened, I was completely comfortable with both him and his team. Five other board certified cardiac surgeons had never seen this surgery done on an adult. I don't know that I would have had the courage to go forward with this surgery without finding such an experienced, innovative, doctor. He and his staff were at my bedside at least once a day. They were never in a rush. My prognosis now is to go forward in life without the need for more surgery. I'm very grateful for Dr. G and his team. The CVMU nursing team was brilliant! UofU was incredible.The flexibility in my treatment plan and Dr. G's approachable demeanor made the difference in my care
I feel very confident that Dr Glotzbach is capable to take care of my heart problem and resolve the issue.
Very professional, courteous, kind.
Dr. Glotzbach is my hero! He saved my life and continues to keep watch on my health.
Dr. Glatsbach is very good at what he does. He is respectful and caring, he talks everything out so I had a great insight into my procedure. He and his team are caring and supportive, I would highly recommend him for anyone who needs cardiac issues
In my opinion, Dr. Glotzbach is very good and excellent at the care and caring that he exhibits for his patience.
Dr. Glotzbach is not only a top-notch and very responsive, compassionate doctor but he has assembled a team of like minded professionals as his support staff. The care I have received to this point is allowing me to proceed with confidence as I prepare for very complicated open heart surgery. Everyone at the UofU has been wonderful. It is worth the 700 mile drive to receive this level of care.
Dr. Glotzbach's demeanor is very supportive with understanding my condition and communicating the issues in a way that aids in our decision making.
Dr. Glotzbach did an excellent job at making me feel like I would be well taken care of during a difficult time.

He fully explained the situation, recommended a path forward and answered all my questions. I have faith in him and in the University of Utah Medical System.
To state that Dr Glotzbach is amazing is a very modest description. I've worked with CT surgeons the majority of my career. The more refined or focused a professional hones his (or her) skills, the less time he/she has to keep in touch with the "normal " world. They tend to loose some of their social/people skills. Dr Glotzbach is one of those rare brainiacs that has managed to remember to make room for his heart while climbing to the top. I am definitely a fan.
Very attentive to my concerns. Very friendly
All of the professionals that I came in contact with were wonderful + extremely knowledgable. The surgeon was very easy to converse with + obviously on top of his game.
Dr Glotzbach and His Team Are Fantastic. Thank You
Dr. Glotzbach took time to really hear me. He listened to all my concerns and acknowledged that we are in a challenging situation. He was very honest about my condition. He made me feel like a human and not like a specimen. This amount of care and concern from a surgeon is hard to find. Dr. Glotzbach is one of a kind.
Very good
Loved Dr Glotzbach. He was attentive and unhurried. He asked many questions so that he could make a correct recommendation. Made it clear that it was my decision.
I will be back for more procedures
Dr. Glotzbach has a wonderful, caring bed-side manner. He clearly explained my situation, patiently answered all of my questions and recommended a wise path forward. I consider myself truly fortunate to be under his care for a potentially serious issue. If my friends ever gave heart issues, I will recommend Glotzbach to them.
