I have been to many doctors over the years and it's amazing how she has been able to help me when the past has wanted to do surgery.

UTAH DIABETES CENTERDr. Sindt makes up for my mean oncology nurse . I'd say that Dr. Sindt is why I stay with Huntsman because she sets the standards high as they are supposed to be. my procedure was painful (nature of test injections) but she really really took focused, special care of me. I love Dr. Sindt. She has helped me live a better quality of life. She deserves to be treated as a queen bee at Huntsman in my opinion. She outdoes many. She takes very careful care of my pain -the nerve blocks work wonders and then if she has to wait a little longer she will make sure I don't go home without pain management. As an advanced terminally ill cancer patient- I trust Dr. Sindt with my pain, and my life. She really is my favorite. I hope that she receives special recognition for being the best pain doctor I've ever had!!
UTAH DIABETES CENTERDr. Sindt always listens and doesn't make me feel like I'm just complaining about something new. It's important as it's so hard to say something when there is so much going on. But when I do, she listens and when needed, always assists in getting me help.
HUNTSMAN CANCER CENTERDr. Sindt is great. Very bright and easy to communicate with. She takes great care of me!
HUNTSMAN CANCER CENTERI would recommend it for anyone who has the Dax of Cancer
