MIDVALLEY

When he first walked into the room, he came straight up to me with his hand, held out to shake mine, and said 'Hi, I'm Rick!'. How refreshing! He has a lot of questions, which is, to me, assigned that someone is actually interested in you. He listened carefully to my answers. He listened carefully to my concerns. I was very impressed with Dr. Sontheimer. I've been thinking about making an appointment at the University of Utah for sometime, he made me wish I'd done it a lot sooner. Dealing with a very rare condition has been challenging to say the least. He decided that I was gonna go find somebody that knew what they were doing because I hadn't had much luck in my town where I live. How I wish I had done this sooner. I finally feel like I can trust someone again.

I expressed a concern about a skin condition in my ear. Dr. Sontheimer offered a prescription to help this. However that offer got lost in the rest of the visit and the prescription was not sent to my pharmacy. I had to call back the next day and request it again. It was filled and taken care of very well.

Dr. Sontheimer, aside from being very professional, is a very personable man. He recently removed a melanoma from my husband's back and In addition to referring him to a dermatologist oncologist for follow up, he called him twice. I was impressed by his patience both on the phone and when I was the patient. This is something you don't often experience these days.

After a few minutes of whole body exam, he told me he couldn't remove a dark spot because it's purely cosmetic. I was then told that a small cyst on my upper back could be excised but not by him nor at this appt. Finally, he was trying to wrap up the encounter when I asked him about treating toe nail fungus. He told me he couldn't address that issue because it would take too long and he is only allowed to spend 8 minutes with each patient. He then told me to make another appt if I wanted learn ways to treat the fungus. He said he had to go because another patient was waiting, turned around and walked out the door.

In person, I felt better about the situation. After the biopsy, I felt the after care was lacking. I understand that test results may be inconclusive. But a problem that has migrated from one toe to another, turned toes different purple colors, produced unusual red spots, and at times thinned the skin to the point of splitting, all over the course of a one year plus period, is most definitely not an ingrown toenail. I agree that there is probably a similar inflammation that may show in lab results, I just feel that after the financial earning was complete, no care was given to determining what the actual issue is or to helping resolve my issue.

I have multiple skin cancer spots. Initial visit was for biopsy on 2, Dr said we would assume others were the same. I thought all spots were being treated but Dr stated only the 2 from biopsy were and that he would need to biopsy others prior to treatment. I live 3 hours away in Wyoming and can't pop down there every week so I was extremely disappointed to hear all spots were not being treated at this visit.

I had more questions and deep concerns bc this is a rare condition. He told me he had only 10 minutes and he already spent more time with me than he should have. so i was cut off! I was shocked as was my husband. I drove from Montana to find help for something Ive had for over 3 years! He was rude and arrogant! As he left, he turned and said good luck!! I was a number on his list that day. Not a person with a debilitating condition that has changed my life. I didnt expect a cure, a one time solution. He was informative of little he knew about the condition which I respect.
