April 15, 2025EXTERNAL SITEDr. Machen is so great at his job! Knowledgeable, kind, patient, great with the kids! We'll use him every time we need such expertise!
March 23, 2025EXTERNAL SITEWe were actually referred to this doctor by our pediatrician. Dr. Machen was very polite and nice. He just wasn't really helpful. We went in and he said he wasn't practicing in what we needed for our kid anymore and referred us to another doctors office in Lehi. It would've been nice to know this before we came in. I had told them over the phone why we were coming in so they knew what it was about. This visit was a waste of time for us.
February 16, 2025EXTERNAL SITEHe was great!
