I absolutely love working with Dr Simonetti! She listens to what I have to say. I totally believe she really cares about my health and for the best way to treat me. We have had deep and serious talks about my health and she is always very engaged and pays attention to everything to everything said. My daughter comes with me to my appointments and she is always included in our discussions. My choice. Dr Simonetti listens to what she is saying and especially when my daughter tells her how I haven't been eating. Starving myself. I really appreciate the concern the Dr has, even when I don't like the fact that my daughter is telling on me. I honestly believe she cares almost as much as my daughter does. I listen to her and because of her genuine care am doing so much better, health wise, mentally and am excited to see what more progress I can make because of her!

It is hard to explain how blessed I am to have the care and attention of Dr. Simonetti and her entire Endocrinology Department. I know that I am receiving the very best care possible and I am delighted to know that she shares this with every patient that she encounters. She is simply one of the very best Doctors I have met in these 80 years and, as I said at the start of this note, I feel truly blessed.

Dr Simonetti is professional, yet also personable with her patients. In my experience, she has a level of empathy & compassion that exceeds most providers. She is thorough with the patient's overall health, & well knowledgeable in other health conditions in determining or considering available treatment options & medications. She is also encouraging, listens well & considers her patient's opinions. After experiences with many other physicians at U of U, she is definitely one of the best & highly recommended.
