I had a fellow for the first time at Huntsman. She spoke too quickly for me to catch her name.

Thanks to Dr. Tashi my health is better than it's been in ages.
Dr Tashi has been filling in for my reg doctor (Dr. Deininger). Dr Tashi and the preceding DR or PA or NP were both wonderful. They had obviously studied my history and were interested in asking questions and listening to my concerns. They could not have been better.
Dr. Tashi was fine with the medical evaluation and explanation. The questions he asked me about my life style (drink, tobacco, do I have family I live with, what kind of work do I do) at the beginning of our conversation had me feeling like there might be something wrong. Tell me what the blood work shows and then ask me all the questions you want to.
I definitely feel like I'm a member of a team.... I appreciate it!
Dr. Tashi and Laura Bickel are both caring and easy to talk to
We discussed COVID-19. I was reminded that I have a lower immune response because of my cancer.
Dr. Tashi spent considerable time explaining my present condition and possible treatment in the future.
I was referred there by my cardiologist and he had sent everything to huntsman prior to my visit. the dr at huntsman tells me hes not sure why Im there. read the notes the doctor sent over! He made me feel I was wasting my time and money by being there. I couldnt wait to get out of there after he said that and I could care less what his recommendations are. He might be smart but his interactions with me needed some major work.
good
