SUGAR HOUSE HEALTH CENTER

I've been doing HR for about 10 years through UMC Urology. Care has always been very good. That said, NP Trueheart is the BEST I have ever had! She is knowledgeable and professional and sensitive. I am an old US Army, Special Forces guy. Most of us try to stay as strong and fit as we were when discharged. NP Trueheart appears to be very fit and has many "Alpine Interests" which makes her an excellent care provider to those of us seeking HR therapy along with rigorous training so that we may continue to enjoy those Alpine Sports that we do love. I was very disappointed, when she left UMC Urology for a while and VERY DELIGHTED when she returned. I would request that I be assigned to her care for the rest of my life, Please!!!!!!
