Dr. Abou-Ismail is an internationally renowned hematologist also specializing in clotting disorders. He is thorough, exact and detail oriented, and takes special care of his patients. I was lucky to survive a post surgery clotting disaster that nearly ended my life. Dr. Abou-Ismail has helped me navigate medications and preventative choices for a year and a half and I'm now stronger and better than before! Thank you.

Dr. Abou-Ismail was awesome!! We wish every doctor was like him. He treats you like a human being and not just another patient.
No need to be anonymous in this post! He was very personable, professional, and knowledgeable, all wrapped up into one. I felt he very much valued my opinion and how to proceed with treatment, follow up, and feeling like I could reach out and contact him if I have any concerns. I would definitely recommend him, and all of your staff, to anyone up here in Cache Valley that needs hematological evaluation. I work for an interventional radiologist and we treat varicose veins, so I come into to contact with people that could really benefit from an evaluation for blood disorders. I will definitely be speaking with the doctor I work for this week about my experience, and have him Dr. Abou-Ismail to our patients. Thank you for everything. [NAME REMOVED]

Dr.Anou-Ismail is amazing truly the best. I would not go anywhere else.
Dr. Abou-Ismail is excellent. He always listens to my concerns and is informed and thorough, as well as very kind.
Dr. Abou-Ismail was very professional and kind. He was very knowledgeable and I felt comfortable talking to him.
Dr is very intelligent and when discussing medical issues with me, he describes it layman's terms.
The staff there was amazing. The physician, while nice, clearly did not care. My past team of doctors were amazing and never made me feel like I was a burden or a waste of time. This doctor did both of those in one visit. I felt like my concerns were not listened to or treated with any sort of validity. Not only that, his only focus on what could possibly be wrong was my weight. Being overweight in his eyes was the only thing wrong with me. Overweight people couldn't possibly have any other issues not caused by being fat, right? I left that appointment beyond discouraged and hating myself. I haven't been treated so poorly by a physician in a very long time. Very disappointing coming from such a large hospital organization.
Dr listened carefully and answered all my questions. Gave me easy and clear directions to follow.
Doctor Abou-Ismail is great. Very informative and cheerful. Hands down my favorite and best experience with any doctor I have ever came across.
Dr. Abou-Ismail truly cares about you. I feel like he treats me like a friend and a patient.
