Mar 08, 2024
UNIVERSITY OF UTAH MIDVALLEY HEALTH CENTER

For the first visit with Dr. Shum, I felt she did a really good job, even though I had botched the allergy test on accident by taking an antihistamine the night before. I was supposed to abstain from antihistamines for 5 days prior to the visit so they could get a good allergy test result. She still offered to let me do the test, but after talking to her we agreed to try next week. She was able to prescribe 4 medications and a device to help absorb one of the medications better. So it wasn't a waste of time in my opinion. I really did appreciate that at least, as I have had wasted visits with other providers before and it doesn't sit well with me. She was great at listening and very caring and concerned. I will definitely be going back and would recommend scheduling a visit with her if your allergies are bothering you.

There seems to be a disconnect between the doctor and the nurses who give the shot and other components of this long term treatment. For example, the nurses will try to give their ideas for building up to maintenance dose, but them I hear something different from the doctor. There also have been times when I miss a call from the doctors office but there is confusion at the call center when I call back. The u of u Health system/proccesses has become very clunky from the patients point of view.

I asked specifically about an option they suggested but was dismissed and felt like I was being rushed out cause "my time was up" for the appointment.

I don't think our personalities were a match. Usually I feel really heard and understood leaving from my providers office. I didn't feel this way. I felt more confused about my problem than when I came in. In the end, there was no real solution to my problem.

Dr. Shum is very thorough. She makes sure I understand what my test results show, where I am now and where I am going. She goes through all instructions and makes sure I understand them. And she is so kind and nice.

Dr. Shum is (of course) very knowledgeable, has a great manner, and communicates clearly. I enjoyed our session and felt very comfortable placing my trust in her.

I felt there was a disconnect in the referral and why my rheumatologist wanted me to be seen that was not understood or checked by Dr Shum. So when we were going over next steps in treatment or if there would be further testing it was a bit off having to re explain why my doctor referred me to have the allergy test they had just performed and how the results corresponded to what my Rheumatologist was trying to rule out. Overall it felt as if the communication of the referral was missing or not even reviewed which hurt the appointment and what it was to accomplish.

Dr. Shum has been great at helping us understand what is going on and our options.

Felt a bit disappointed after my visit, was only given the option of managing symptoms that could "last years" and "potentially turn into an autoimmune disease" with a lack an sympathy.

Dr. Shum is amazing. She spent more time with us helping us to understand this new diagnosis than the provider that gave it. She was kind, detailed, informative. She helped my son feel safe and like he was part of the conversation. She's amazing!

We saw an allergist and drive 3 hours to see her for her only to print out what seemed like a Google sheet of an elimination diet. I was pissed. It was a waste of time and money. I received no answers.

Dr. Schum is a thoughtful physician who challenged my thinking about my conditions (in a good way). She addressed the three issues/questions I asked as well as spending the time I needed to process the information and discuss a path forward. I would give her an "excellent" rating if it were offered.

Dr. Shum spend a lot of time asking questions and making sure she had a complete history. She also followed up the next day after reviewing all my tests and called me a 2nd time.

I have an unusual problem with skin rashes and other doctors did not believe me and did not take my problem seriously even though it affects my ability to sleep and work. Dr Shum listens to me and has really worked with me to look into and address my skin rashes. I feel much more hopeful being cared for by Dr Shum, since she is an expert who cares about helping me and doesn't just write me off as a hypochondriac.

she showed care and concern. i feel the video makes appts rusged and impersonal so the provider is not really listening and responding appropriately to my exact concerns or situation. just rushing to the next appr or making assumptions especially when they have never met with me.
