She is a genuine, caring provider who has given me a much higher quality of life than I would have without her care. She really listens and understands me and what works for me. She is easily one of the best caregivers I've ever had the pleasure of being treated by.

Sue Basta is not only very smart and professional, she and I have become good friends over the 30 plus years she has been treating me for a long term chronic pain condition. I am very impressed with her.
Dr Sue Basta is absolutely wonderful. She is a great listener and offers excellent feedback. She's quite responsive to my needs and I genuinely believe that she cares about me and my pain issues.
I feel she really cares about me.
She takes her time, never rushes, asks and listens to any and all concerns and how you are doing. She doesn't just say ¿this is what we're going to do,¿.¿ When it comes to treatment plan instead she gathers all info she needs to make a plan and then discusses it with you and sees what you think and if you have any questions or concerns about the treatment plan she takes the time to listen and go over things with you to make sure you really get and understand what she she wants to do for treatment, how she's going to do it and why she's going to do it. For example she might say that she's going to raise how much medicine the pump is putting out to see if that would take care of a pain issue and if you don't feel a certain way within a certain period or you have some issue with the new setting then she'll have you come back to discuss it and then decide if the pump needs another change or not and what not. I would recommend her to any body. I'd give her a 10 out of 5 stars.
Very kind and really cares about her patients.

Very good in listening and understanding my needs. Helpful in explaining my health needs.
Very good at hearing me
I have been a patient of Sue's for 15 years. It would take pages to describe how knowledgeable, patient, and accommodating she has been. I have 8 different health care providers and am disabled both mentally and physically'Sue is the only one who sits down at every visit and goes through each of my health problems and all my prescriptions and OTC meds. She includes me in my care and lets me know when there is leeway on the dosage. For example, I get migraines, and often I only get one chance to take a pill before I start throwing up. So she says, ¿take half a tablet, but if you feel like you need it take a full one.¿ But she is also very careful about dosages and safety. She keeps a close eye on what I get from my other doctors and has lowered my pain medicine when other doctors have increased the dosages of other controlled substances. Since not ODing is a good thing, I appreciate this and highly recommend Sue's services.
Sue is sweet caring gentle as well as respectful.
Amazing and very caring.
Susan is great to work with.
I've been coming to The University of Utah Pain Clinic for many of years. Been seeing Sue Basta. She makes me feel like I'm the only patient she sees while I'm there. She's very concerned about my medical issues. Not only for what I see her for but even things I don't. She's The Best.

My confidence in Susan Basta as a caretaker is through the roof.. I have been seeing Her for a while now and She has been extremely helpful in the management of my health from my very first visit with Her.. I can only imagine how much worse my condition would be without the care She has given me or without Her being there for me when I've needed specific care with my health situations.. Thank You for the opportunity to speak of my experiences with Susan Basta.. I have been and am extremely satisfied with the Care She has given me..
I was suicidal when I first saw Susan, she treated me with kindness and helped me to get control of the pain I was in. She never tried to minimize the pain I was in but with medications and other tools she gave me the will to live. I still suffer from chronic pain but she always does her best to help me with other things besides the meds that can give me some more relief. She literally saved my life.
As previously stated, She truly cares
Excellent provider! I appreciate her kindness and professionalism! Great to meet via tele- health, since its painful to get up to pain clinic, and most of all I see to many doctors. Every week I all my limited energy is hurting my Heath. I see too many doctors weekly, I already have pain , Im handicapped, and cant drive due to crippled hands. Its overwhelming and causes far to much stress. For me, its much easier to go to virtual appointments. Some doctors must be seen in person. But more virtual appointments are requested!

Personableness and detail always a pleasure
I've recommend Sue Basta to about 10 people I've encountered in the last 10 years there is a long list hopefully they stayed with it
I just wish that I could have spoken to Dr Hagn about treatment options because she is the one that does the procedures. I like Dr Basta but if treatments are done by dr Hagn I feel like that's who I should stick with.
I feel very comfortable talking with Sue as she puts me at ease and is friendly.
She didn't say that my pain is due to my elderly sge. She cared more about making sure that I was able to get a better handle on my pain.

It was so much easier just seeing one NP versus the resident and dr hagn. It flowed easier, my voice was heard clearly and medicine decisions about early refill because of the holiday was taken care of and Susan listened and we had a conversatIon. We even rescheduled for the next visit at the same time.

We discussed all of the things we have discussed in the past at my inperson visits (my pain level and success at pain management, sleep, mood, continuing medication and vitamin therapies, etc. as well as any other health concerns), so I found this format (the televisit) very worthwhile.
