    It's hard to overstate the importance of having doctors and healthcare providers who not only look like you but also understand the challenges of accessing healthcare from different racial, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Having Dr. Yole-Lobe on my healthcare team has made a profound difference for me and my family, even though I'm the only one who sees her. She is incredibly compassionate, takes the time to listen to my concerns, and shares information in a way that empowers me. Thanks to her care and encouragement, I was able to overcome my pre-diabetes diagnosis. We need more representation in healthcare to empower individuals, families, and communities to take charge of their health. I will continue to see Dr. Yole-Lobe for as long as she practices in Utah, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to my community. Her impact on my health has been truly transformative!

    As a woman of color, I have had trouble finding a provider who listens to my concerns and coming up with a treatment plan for the better of my health. Dr. Yole-Lobe is incredible! She listens, is very attentive, caring, kind and not to mention she is clearly very educated in her practice. Her and her team have gone above and beyond to help me better my health, physical and mental. Always super kind, gentle and everyone is great at communicating with me. I cannot recommend her and her team enough.

    The care Rocco provided was top notch and thorough, he provided a physical examination of my mobility that many Drs have skipped since I was a child. I'd like to commend his practice in medicine and wish you a good year going forward Menerva. The disk inhaler has seemed to help day to day breathing but excersise and heavy dust while camping still seemed to cause issues with a heavy cough and causing food to come up when intense. I found out the extended release albuterol tablet is no longer produced but will discuss options with Dr Gadd next week. With thanks , [NAME REMOVED]
