Stephanie was very professional really cared about. My situation went out of her way to help resolve the situation. I would definitely recommend Stephanie and also her nurse and the helpdesk the guy was extremely professional. They all deserve a bonus or at least a hike in their pay.
Dr. Zone is an exceptional dermatologist. I spent years trying to find a good one as there are so many bad ones out there. She is exceptional in her field, dedicated to her work, and continues to learn. She is very thorough on her exams, so little is missed, which is what you want with the largest organ of the human system.
She was very kind and understanding. No forcing, just suggestions. She is a great listener.
I'm very grateful to have such a compassionate provider. Dr. Zone is amazing.
Dr Zone is the most dedicated and empathetic physician I have ever worked with. She listened and more importantly, heard and believed what I was experiencing. I had been dismissed by and if you can believe it, shushed by another doctor when I broke out in full body hives for six weeks. Changing facilities and finding Dr Zone was a miracle and the best decision I have ever made. She immediately took action to help clear my hives, listened to my experience, and I'm now four weeks hive-free. Every nurse, MA, and med student on her staff have been top notch. I am continually impressed with U of U dermatology and specifically Dr Zone. It is the golden standard to which all medical practices should be measured.
Dr. Stephanie is a compassionate and caring doctor. Listens to concerns and addresses issues with options. I am confident in her practice.
Dr. Zone is one of the best! She listens and is kind and compassionate and asks all of the right questions to get to the root of the issue and then discusses all options in how to help.
