The experience was good. She's very knowledgeable and thorough.
Among the very highest tier of cardio physicians.
It was great
Extremely knowledgeable and explained everything in detail that I would need to know To improve my health
Lillian Khor is very knowledgeable, thorough and truly cares about her patients. Highly recommended!
Dr. Khor was great when you could see her but the Dr. that is with her currently trying to learn from her is incompetent and picked at me for drinking less milk than the daily suggested amount by the USDA. He spent over an hour trying to make me feel guilty for drinking less than 3 cups per day. This guy does not belong in a Drs. setting if he feels that I have a problem concerning milk intake and spends nearly his entire time on that subject.
Very knowledgeable, friendly, courteous, helpful and kind.
Appreciated the good information I received. Very professional but still easy to talk to.
Dr Khor provides excellent care, both the skill and art of medicine are at the top level.
Excellent physician and very good interfacing with patients. Highly recommend to all potential patients.
Dr. Khor appeared to be highly intelligent doctor with comprehensive professional knowledges and skill sets. Her approaches in examining a new patient like myself were thorough, well organized and serious. In addition, her bedside manner was sincere, sensitive, kind and caring. She is one of the best and exceptional doctors we rarely meet these days.
She cares and listens. She also is confident and engages you in your health conditions and provides guidance in a practical mannner.
Dr. Khor is so famous that I actually felt intimidated to see her. But she is kind, patient and thorough. Within a few minutes I felt comfortable and enjoyed our visit. It would be great to have her as my cardiologist for the rest of my life.
Please don't miss the chance to meet Dr Lillian Khor. She is exceptionally compassionate and the kindest, funnest and warmest and most skilled cardiologist you will ever meet. She is always willing to go above and beyond to ensure her patients receive the best possible care. I know this for a fact because after first meeting her she enrolled me in her cardiac rehab program and under her care I have lost around 120 lb. And my blood pressure and heart failure have dramatically improved. She takes the time to listen to my concerns, answer my questions, and constantly makes sure that I understand the conditions and treatments.Her warm and friendly personality always puts me at ease immediately and I always feel so grateful, comfortable and confident to be in her care. Thank the University of Utah medical system for Dr Lillian Khor. She has not only saved my life, but has inspired me to dramatically change my life and brought a level of happiness and health I did not think was possible.
Excellent care. No doubt Dr. Khor is smart and has an excellent bedside manner. She is to the point, explains everything so you understand. I feel like I'm in good hands and will be fine if I follow her directions. I feel very fortunate in finding her.
She is by far the most efficient, intelligent doctor I have ever had an exam from. Her attention to listening and explaining everything I asked about in such great detail, I left with no concerns or confusion. she is the best cardiologist ever
Dr Khor is the consummate medical professional. She is exceptionally knowledgeable & communicate thoroughly & clearly with kindness & compassion
I would not recommend this provider to anyone. Her level of care was very disappointing and unprofessional. When you voice any concern about a specific treatment option, she does not listen to you, tries to speak over you, and then stated do you think youre the only one that suffers in this world. It was shocking to be treated this way.
Very thorough in her treatment
Attentive to needs and thoroughly examines you
She is excellent at explaining things and caring about her patients.
She has been a lifesaver literally. Fantastic care. She is almost like family.
She is the best!!!!
Dr. Khor is outstanding! Thank you to her and your clinic.
Dr Khor did not listen to me. I struggle with self esteem. When I left the appointment I felt trashed and worthless.
Dr. Khor is fantastic. I never feel like she is too busy to talk to me. She explains everything in clear detail. She is the best.
She is now my favorite Dr. She filled in details and explanations I never received from the IHC cardiologist I had previously. I am now well informed and feel I have the tools to reach my personal health goals because of an expertise and thoroughness that was beyond anything I expected. Thank you, Dr. Khor.
Dr Khor is amazing. She was very thorough and answered questions and concerns.
Dr, Khor is exceptional in her desire to help her patients understand what she is telling us.
The main care provider was Dr Kohr. She was very caring and explained everything very well. She examined me and explained her findings and explained test results. She gave options for treatment for my issues and alleviated a lot of the anxiety I had been feeling about some test results I had been given and her diagnosis of those results as a specialist who understood those results better than the initial physician who had referred me to her.
Good
Dr Khor is exceptionally kind and compassionate. Firm when she needs to be but understanding and approachable.
Listened to my concern about one of the medications I was on and had stopped by myself she was agreeable that I had done the right thing by stopping the medication she if fact was going to stop the medication
Dr. Kohr is Great!
Dr. Khor was awesome during this visit! I felt we made a lot of progress this visit.
Dr. Khor was very thorough as she asked a lot of questions. Her physical exam was also quite thorough. Her online report was very thorough and detailed. I could understand most of it.
Dr. Lilian Khor is amazing and made me feel comfortable and she was not judging me by my size
Dr Kohr demonstrated very professional caring behavior
Only 5 stars because 11 is not available! So knowledgeable, non-condescending,and willing to listen and discuss. Dr Khor is so articulate and such a focused activelistener that she makes you feel like you're the most important person on the planet.During your appointment you are aware instantly that you are with a deep, critical thinker;that is so knowledgeable about all things cardiology and is relentless in how toimprove your health and quality of life. Throughout my appointment with her I felt shecared deeply about my concerns as a patient, my interests,and always has an open mind to learn more from our conversation. Under her care I haveI lost over 115 lbs and kept it off for over a year and my heart stats improved behind belief. If you need a cardiologist, she is the real deal!
Dr. Khor is very clear when communicating with me.
I feel fortunate to Have Dr. Kohr caring for me and the staff is so professional and pleasant. It was a comfortable and pleasant visit.
I'm very impressed with Dr.Khor for the time she spent and the time she took to explain everything to me.
This appointment with this provider was horrible.There was absolutely no empathy showed by this provider, it was actually the exact opposite. She was very rude and at one point she raised her voice to me when I asked for clarification of a specific treatment option. She then asked if I thought I was the only one that's suffered in this world. I was completely taken off guard by her unprofessionalism and her lack of compassion in such a hard situation. She acts one way if I have someone else there with me during my appointment as part of my support system. During that appointment She is nice and professional, but when I am by myself she acts a completely different way. I would never recommend this provider to anyone!
Dr. Khor was very thorough. She explained everything and added that we were partners in my health care. That was very appreciated. She was empathetic, but firm when necessary. I was delighted with this doctor.
Dr Khor is very through in talking through issues, medications, side effects, and making sure we understand what to expect with new meds
I have rcommended Dr. Khor to all iknowSincerlely [NAME REMOVED]
Excellent care, explanation, and attention to detail.
I don't want to recommend a doctor that Is good and hard to get Into. And Dr. Kohr Is that good
Lillian Khor is a wonderful doctor who genuinely cares about her patients and does her best to provide them the best care and outcomes possible. I trust she has my best interest in mind always. Highly recommended!
I (we) hold Dr. Lillian Khor in esteem for her knowledge, professionalism, intelligence, integrity. Dr. Khor considers the whole body, not just her specialty of Cardiology.
Care provider was warm and professional.
Dr. Khor was terrific. The amount of attention I received more than made up for the short delay in her coming to the exam room.
Dr. KHORE IS A+.Very skilled and attentive
Dr Khor explained my heart disease and why I was as on the treatment plan. She always makes me feel hopeful and encouraged to continue what I am doing. I always feel empowered when I leave my visit.
Actually listened to me and was clear in her communication.
Dr. Khor is the best and I tell people all the time about her and how great she is. I had a cardiologist before her and they didn't take the time and didn't care like she does.
While under Dr Khor's care II was fortunate enough to complete her cardiac rehab program resulting in my losing almost 100 lbs and my heart health is improving according to the data points. Dr Khor is a life saver and healer and I truly believe see is on of the kindest smartest and most caring doctors in the world. She delves deeply into the science of your health issues and explains them simply and with compassion. So grateful she is in Utah!
She did go above & beyond regarding my issue of putting more information in her summary notes. Which I greatly appreciate! I've gone back several times now to reference her notes in my Summery notes, they are VERY helpful.
A wonderful Doctor
Both Dr. Migatsky and Dr. Khor were excellent physicians. The only issue with the appointment was time management.
if I could give them both grades there would not be a grade high enough for these 2 providers!
Good
Dr. Kohr was upset because she thought I was not doing what I was supposed to & not contacting them. She was wrong! I mychart Terri all the time.
Dr. Khor is an exemplary person and physician.

Dr. L. Khor is the best doctor a person could ask for, she always goes above and beyond to take care of her patient's. There is not a better doctor than Dr. Khor.
Dr. Khor is thorough and very caring. Clarity of screen resolution could have better for her to assess any fluid in my leg (to see any indentation when finger pushed into shin).
Dr. Khor was very informative and provided information in terms I could understand. After having a brain hemorrhage last year this is. very important to me as it takes longer for things to process
Dr. Khor was so kind and listened to my concerns. She explained clearly my tests results and what I needed to do. She is an amazing doctor.
this was a telemedicine appointment. the sound quality was poor. the sound from the doctor was erratic and broken up.
She is very excellent and I would recommend her for everyone
Dr Lillian Khor is an integral part of my care team. She is very kind, compassionate, and goes above and beyond helping resolve issues relating to my treatment and helping me lead as good a life as I can, given the circumstances.so grateful to both her, Terri Hancock, and the entire staff at the Universitys Cardiology Department.
