EXTERNAL SITE

One of the best doctors visit I have been to. He's very polite and honest about whats going on and treatment.

EXTERNAL SITE

Honestly we loved Dr. Pyper when we first met him, but the more we have met with him between both of our sons we have learned that he's not very personable and doesn't really care about what we think. At this appointment it was like he forgot that we've met him several times and didn't know anything about our history.

EXTERNAL SITE

He was patient and very clear in explaining concepts related to my daughters condition. We very much appreciate the compassionate care.

EXTERNAL SITE

Doctor Pyper is kind and ready to listen to parent of the patient problems and willing to help, as a father of the patient and student in UVU public health department, I have observed doctor Pyper psychological helped me through the words he gave me.
