SUGAR HOUSE HEALTH CENTER

Dr. Goossen is terrific. I understand the need to reduce health risks associated with COVID-19 but I had a physical scheduled and I should have been advised more than a day in advance that it was going to be a virtual appointment. At the time I scheduled it, the scheduler said it would be an in-person appointment. Although my doctor is thorough and I have great trust in her, I'm not sure how a physical can be performed very well virtually. I think that she did the best that she could under the circumstances. using MyChart, we were able to connect via video but the audio was not very good and there was so much background noise where my doctor was working that she called my phone for audio so that we could hear each other better.

Unfortunately, I couldn't get to see my regular provider due to time constraints, and Covid-19. That just makes the entire process less efficient. Your on-staff people are good, but they just don't have a history, nor can they be as committed as if you were their primary patient. Every time I've seen someone else I've been underwhelmed. When you've got an issue that's hard to diagnose (or treat), your system has a problem.
