Thorough

SUGAR HOUSE HEALTH CENTER

Dr Tara Huntsman listened to me, she responded to my concerns with functional advice delivered with kindness and respect. I felt that she was fully present during the remote appointment, which was punctual. I left the teleconference with more knowledge and confidence about my recovery, which seems to be slow and challenging for me, through no fault of the medical staff. Dr Huntsman treated me with dignity and compassion, she gave me information to help me with the uncomfortable symptoms I am having. It was a very positive and productive patient/doctor interaction
