Patient Rating
Patients repeatedly praise Dr. Brogan and his team for being caring, attentive, and inclusive in decision-making, noting that he listens, explains treatment options clearly, does not seem rushed, and achieves meaningful pain relief. Multiple comments highlight strong teamwork and supportive nursing staff, with several patients saying the clinic felt warm and familial and that procedures were handled skillfully and comfortably. A minority of reviews raise concerns about another provider's demeanor or uncertainty about a diagnosis, occasional contradictory post-operative instructions, and one strongly negative account alleging a lack of compassion.

Very good.
He's a very arrogant doctor that does not care about the patient and their needs at all. He's all about the money. I will never return to see him again. I guess after stage 4 tongue cancer you're supposed to be fine and not need anymore care. It's sad that he truly doesn't care about his patients. I would never recommend him to anyone. I will take my chases with cancer.
Very easy to talk to and makes sure Im comfortable with any decision he makes.

I have my care for my cancer at Intermountain Healthcare but when it came time for my Kyphoplasty, two of the people in the clinic worked with Dr. Brogan and they canceled my appointment with an Intermountain provider and scheduled me with Brogan. They were not wrong. He has been great.
Dr. Brogan is great - always wants to know how I'm doing with my pain management; is there anything else he can do to help me be comfortable; explains things very well; answers my questions
I appreciate the concern and thoroughness of the Dr. Very personable and helpful
Very high grade for this care provider
Use of any other pain modality was not mentioned. I would be interested in ketamine therapy. It would be nice to know what is causing the pain in my ribs (besides "the cancer"). What is going on internally to cause this? Does it mean the cancer is spreading?
I am really glad we pick hustman for are care
Five stars. Doctor is fantastic
I've been so looking forward to filling out this survey since leaving the pain clinic for my visit. This was one of the most pleasant clinical experiences I have had in my life to date. This was a team effort and I felt as though they moved mountains to work me into an already busy schedule to help me get some relief. Dr. Sindt saw me on short notice working me into her schedule as an add on and not once did I feel rushed. She was thorough, knowledgeable, and very informative outlining all of the treatment options for me as we discussed best options. She spoke with Dr. Brogan and had me scheduled with him within a few days to address my Issue. I am so grateful to you Dr. Sindt! Dr. Brogan Is someone I have known for many years and for whom I have enormous respect. I knew he was one of the best pain physicians but I have now experienced this for myself and can say he is absolutely superb! I fully expected some discomfort during the procedure but I felt no pain whatsoever! Dr. Brogan's knowledge and skill exceeded my expectations and he treated me like an old friend. I cannot express how grateful I am to all of you for making me feel like I was among family that day and now 3 days later, my pain has dramatically diminished and my quality of life much improved. Tony the RN was also excellent and put me at ease. Coincidentally at the tail end of my visit, we realized that we knew each other from years prior when we had worked together for several years. It honestly made my day and I felt as though I was among family. Tony is not only excellent clinically, he has a heart of gold. What a treat! It was so special to be cared for by what felt like family on this day and it was both rare and heartwarming. Hugs were exchanged and I left with high spirits. There are not many instances when all the stars align but this was certainly one of them. I am overjoyed with my results so far and give you all 10 stars for your humanity and your excellent service!
Dr Brogan always listen to me, it is a good experience when I talk to him.
He took care concerning my needs
I have a long time relationship w/ my Dr. & the reason I was patient with the wait is I generally only meet w/ him every 6 months!!
Great care team
I very much appreciate the way Dr Brogan adjusted my pain medication. His adjustments have made a significant difference.
Doctor came up with plan for pain medication for me. The doctor as well as the nurse made sure I understood any risks and helped me understand the treatment of medications they were giving me including any side effects
Dr. Brogan is very nice and gave me lots of options.
Good experiance
Issue that came up during exam showed his concern and he included me in the decision making
Great
excellent Doctors. Very happy
Fantastic!
Many of the instructions given us on the typed handout were contradicting to what the Dr. told us. Post-op instruction sheet needs to be updated. Perhaps more information about the pain management after the procedure would be helpful so additional calls are not needed.
Dr. Brogan fulfilled my needs just like that an Illusionist
Dr. Brogan is the best! I really like Dr's Sindt and Odell, but I am more comfortable with Dr. Brogan. He really has helped me through more than my cancer pain. I highly recommend him.
We tend to work in boxes or silos. My unusual medical problem required out-of-box thinking. Dr. Brogan did not try to remember how to treat it - he focused on solving it.
visit went very well. would highly recommend.
Dr. Brogan is very thorough and explains so that I understand my options.
1st visit with Dr. Brogan and he knew more about me than I did. I was way impressed!
good
Thankful for the two doctors that worked with me and their kindness and care and honesty about my future treatments.
Excellent experience
I like how this doctor actually listens to my concerns and issues rather then spending most of the visit on the computer. When first diagnosed with cancer I was in constant extreme pain. His pain management with me have helped so much.
Dr. Brogan is one of the best providers I have ever had on my care team. He is both professional and caring about my individual needs. He is consistently trying to improve my quality of life and he listens to everything I say in its entirety, never seems rushed or impatient. I am thankful that providers like him exist.
Dr Brogan has been very good in explaining treatment options and is very patient with me as I try to explain my conditions.
Dr. Brogan was very kind and attentive.
The Doctor was very clear in explaining the procedure and all my options. With that being said, He was very open to my opinion and decision whether I wanted to proceed or not.
I am so grateful for everyone at Huntsman!
Dr Brogan is a very good provider. He listens to your concern and also makes sure your included in your care choice
Good
All great.
Very good with treatment and understanding how I fell.
explained why the pain pills weren't helping my nerve pain, explained the options available and wanted to make sure we addressed the strength issues in my leg so I don't fall. everyone who was a part of my appointment were detailed in their explanations and they listened to me.
good
Now I understand how to manage the pain better in regard to this cancer in the liver.
Dr. Brogan and his whole team "Rock".
I have had a great experience with my tractor I absolutely refer people to him I hope I never have to but I definitely would thank you for everything.
Would have liked more feedback regarding pain in lower left leg
