He explained everything to me and did not push for surgery but gave me my options and helped me to decide the best course of action.
It was a pleasure meeting with a doctor who was willing to listen and include me in decisions about my own health care.
Very thorough, very knowledgeable, very sharp -An outstanding clinician who identified a misdiagnosis & prevented an unneeded major surgery - He's beyond excellent!!!
Very understanding, listens well, does the job with precision and is fast doing the surgery. He is personable, easy to talk to and explain symptoms. Very good listener and knew exactly what I was describing. I'm rating him a 10+ overall.
Excellent doctor, excellent service, he cares about his patients. Many thanks to the doctor and his entire team. Thank you. [TRANSLATED]
Very professional. Always keeps me informed. Great to know and feel that I am in good hands.
He didn't seem interested or compassionate regarding my issue. I felt like he probably made up his mind I wasn't a surgery case he would do, and I felt dismissed from the start instead of curious to help solve a difficult problem.
I've recommended Dr. Pickering.
Once we got in after much frustration, Dr Pickron was very good.
He had a much better solution than we were exoecting
I would recommend Dr. T Bartley Pickron to anyone that is having rectal prolapse! He gave me hope where other doctors said they couldn't do anything for me!
Am surgeon myself, and went for care for myself. Was very impressed and if unfortunately i need his intervention, am comfortable that i am in the best of hands
First time on a virtual chat went very well
Consultation could have been done over the phone instead of having me drive 2.5 hours to be told I would have to wait for results from a test that was already scheduled.
A very good surgeon.
A great doctor who takes time to understand and explain what is going on
I want to thank Dr. Pickron for his great explanations and his positivity about my medical situation.
Very good experience
He's amazing and caring
I don't comment. [TRANSLATED]
Professional, focused, caring.
Dr. Pickron is very professional in his communication. He always makes sure you understand whatever is being communicated. He has a calm demeanor and a kind way of making sure that the family is comfortable with everything. I would recommend Dr. Pickron to anyone in need of his skillset!
He is a nice guy and seems to know a lot about the field. I would guess he is a good surgeon. But the visit was rushed and rather uncomfortable. The resident I saw before he came into the room was awful.
attentive and professional. easy to visit with.
Great Doctor
Personable and friendly.
Very professional
Dr. Pickron is fantastic and communicating information! I always feel he understands how I am feeling about the events.
The doctor was concerned about my well-being
Dr Pickron has assembled a team of amazing people on every level of care. Thanks
Dr Pickron was very good, talked me through everything he was doing and seeing. So I felt very much included in what was being done. The pain from the procedure has been noticeably less than when I had previously had this procedure done.
Dr. Pickron is a good listener. He is sensitive and knowledgable.
Poor bedside manner, very short and does not thoroughly evaluate. I do not recommend this Doc
He is the best. If it wasn't for him and his care I wouldn't be here. He is always positive and caring.
Dr pickron was very good about discussing my situation and explaining what he will do to help me
Dr. was very kind and compassionate.
I don't understand what the procedure they did to me is called. They didn't teach me anything about what they took from my body. I don't know what they did. I don't understand why they don't give me medication. [TRANSLATED]
Very knowledgeable and included my thoughts about upcoming surgery.
Doctor Pickron does very well at helping me out to deal with any complications that arise with my disability. He is a very good doctor. I would definitely recommend him to others.
Dr. Pickron is outstanding. He is caring, positive, Listens to my needs and at times is humorous, which I very much appreciate. I have really enjoyed being treated by Dr. Pickron, he is a great doctor, and I am grateful for his skills.
Very professional. The surgeon and staff treat people with respect and care, they listen to your concerns and inform you of different choices, listening to your input and your particular situation.
Dr Pickron, MD is a brilliant physician, extremely knowledgeable and willing to explain options, benefits and risks associated with specific surgery. He met with us on more than one occasion to review all of our options. Dr Pickron is one of the kindest professionals I've ever met, he listens, asks the right questions, takes his time to explain things as many times as we needed. He is very kind and honest.
Fantastic doctor, fantastic aid supplied.
Very courteous. Listened to my concerns and explained the alternative. I was very satisfied with our visit.
Dr. Pickron is very to the point but listens to your needs and wants. If your request isn't going to be exactly what you want, he will be honest and to the point of what to expect. He is an amazing surgeon & I recommend his care & treatment to anyone who may need his services.
It's only the beginning stages of this health saga, but thus far, I'm very heartened by the careful, thorough, thoughtful care extended to me. I no longer feel either "abandoned to (understandable) long waits in an Emergency Room" or the need to make decisions on my own in areas where I'm not an expert and sincerely need help. I am very grateful to Dr. Pickron and his kind staff.
Dr. Pickron shows no compassion or empathy towards me and my condition. If you have T had any experience with the diagnosis, it would be very thoughtful if he would take a few minutes and explain the diagnosis and everything associated with it. This is very emotionally traumatic and I expected much more. I would not recommend him if asked.
Excellent bedside manner and interpersonal skills. Seemed experienced, and made me feel confident about the care I was getting.
Is willing to listen to your needs and collaborate on an effective medical plan.
Dr Pickron MD was an excellent doctor making sure I was given the right care and was looking out for my safety and health
Very good and explained information in way that was easy to understand
Very knowledgeable very understanding
After speaking with the doctor and his staff I felt I was in competent hands.
Muy buena explicó correctamente
Doctors don't communicate well with each other at the u
I highly recommend Dr. Pickron. He is everything you want in a doctor - extremely skilled but also kind and caring, despite the pressures of a busy practice. I trust him completely with my care.
Excellent doctor, very happy with his care.
Dr Pickron was very good and personable.
Fue muy amable y cortés
Dr. Pickron is extremely knowledgeable. He is able to help us understand what was going on with our disabled child. He talked with us about all of the possible directions he/we could go and then provided us with his recommendations and why he was making the specific recommendations. He reviewed the process in detail as well as what we would learn from upcoming procedures and how that would help him provide us the best guide forward. His knowledge and years of experience helped us to know we were in the right place and that our child would receive the proper care. It was amazing how he took into account everything about our son, his needs, his medical records and made his recommendation. He was able to answer all of our questions and provided us information and a team that we could reach out to at any time. We know that this is a difficult time in our sons life but that we have the best help and support possible.
He's a very good doctor and I'm pleased with the outcome
Only my first visit, but thoroughly impressed with the attention, care to detail, and overall approach. Clearly an outstanding practice.
He was knowledgable, explained things clearly, and was interested in making sure I understood the plan and had my questions answered.
Dr. Pickron is a fabulous surgeon! The surgeries he performed went extremely well, and my recovery has gone very well, too. I am so glad he was my surgeon! I would recommend him very highly to anyone who needs the kind of surgery I required.
Dr. Pickron was very thorough and I liked him very much.
From the pre op appointment to day of the surgery Dr Pickron consistently provided quality care. The surgeon listened to all my questions and provided multiple solutions along with education in regards to each one allowing me to make an informed decision when it came to my surgery.
I was very pleased with Dr Pickron and the way he showed his concern and willingness to help with my problem. He was very professional yet friendly as he explained the procedure he will be doing and what to expect. I would definitely recommend him to others.
Dr. Pickron takes the time to discuss options & listens to my concerns.

Very caring and explained his thoughts concisely
Doctor Pickron is the best!!!!! I am so blessed and grateful to have him as my doctor.
Excellent information, knowledge and care. Thank you
Dr Pickron is the best!!! 5/5 stars
Dr. Pickron helped me avert a surgical procedure (thus far) by offering me an alternative, less invasive treatment. If the treatment works, I will be forever grateful. My sense is that he is a careful practitioner, and an expert in the pros/cons of treatments for my condition.
Great and intelligent doctor
This was a phone visit. I felt like most of my concerns about my upcoming surgery were addressed.
Very good quality professionalism
I was quite confident in his decisions about my need for major surgery. I was somewhat disappointed that some of the records from my other doctor had not been obtained.
He listened to me and included me in decisions
He was knowledgeable and has a pleasant bedside manner!
Wonderful, caring Dr! Willing to include the patient in treatment plans
I feel like I'm in good hands very happy with the care he has been doing for me
Dr. Pickron had reviewed my history and asked questions that reassured me he had dealt with cases like mine. I felt at ease and confident he could help me.
Dr Pickron listened and helped me understand how to take care of my problems
Careful and thorough honest explanation of my situation
Calmly and clearly speaking in language easily understood by me regarding my type of cancer and care available.
He was kind and straight forward with me. My appointment was very simple to rule out having additional surgical support to my urogynecologist.
I feel confident in his abilities and I felt he really cares about outcome if my surgery. He was great about answering all my questions.
I felt like Dr. Pickron really listened and cared. He was sympathetic and asked me how I felt about my situation. He was knowledgeable and kind.
Great doctor
He was a very nice doctor. He explained what was going on. He put it in words that I could understand. He and staff have all been amazing.
Absolutely excellent Doctor - quality of care is unmatched. We are so lucky to have him at the University of Utah!
Absolutely excellent doctor.
He didn't really explain the procedure or how i may be feeling after. Didn't advise aftercare or show any concern
He is a good person and great surgeon. Thank you Dr. Pickron
Very kind and understanding person who helped us to understand what was going on and what was going to happen
he is a great surgeon and listens to his patients
Very positive
Dr. Pickron seems very personable & I believe he is trying hard to figure me out. This has been going on now for over a year +. It's depressing.
He was very kind & professional as well & seemed like he was well aware of all of my previous health issues, which there were many.
I came in on ER a few days ago. Dr pickron understood my urgency. Did surgery today. I felt I was in the very best hands
His response time following my pathology report was poor!
He takes time to listen and answer questions. Has never kept me waiting.
It was absolutely amazing
Friendly and understanding problem
Was very positive. He didnt find any reason to intervene at this point, and suggested physical therapy and gave me referral.
Great doctor
Very knowledgeable, helpful, and caring.
Considerate, respectful and helpful with my questions.
Would have preferred to be notified how many med students would be in the room during exam.
He seems to be very competent and was very nice
He talked to us and let us know how things would be he let us ask questions and he answered the questions which is really good
Very pleasant and informative
Profesional y humanitario con el paciente y familia
I believe he knows what he is doing and is concerned about my condition and how to care for me.
He was very kind and didnt make me feel rushed. Answered all of my questions. Student dr was very attentive
I never saw the doctor long enough to really form an opinion. I was just upset that this couldn't have been handled over the phone. The morning of the appointment the doctor had a family emergency and was late. Those things happen but I was disappointed that the nurse didn't keep me informed on whether the doctor was going to show or when he got there. I sat in waiting room for an hour and a half and it would have been nice for the nurse or doctor to just say I'm sorry you had to wait .
We appreciate the time Dr. Pickron provided to meet with our family.
Hes awesome
Great doctor
Se tom el tiempo para hablar con el paciente y familia
Very personable. He truly cared about me.
I dont know the doctor well as I am a new patient.
Dr. Pick Ron was very kind. He explained where my cancer was and that my treatment plan is very successful. In the worst case scenario I feel like I would be in excellent hands and have every confidence in him.
I was nervous about surgery but it went very well. Dr. Pikron genuinely cares about his patients.
Professional and easy understanding language
Surgeons Always seem to be in a rush. Sometimes she just need to Be able to tell your story
Dr. Pickron was excellent from beginning to end. He was always very informative in explaining the surgery and the follow-up. His demeanor was professional but compassionate.
Dr Pickron and his staff were great from start to finish. The excellent care is much appreciated!
I was glad that he was a able to remove the skin tag. However, I was forced to make the decision while lying on my side, not looking at the doctor, with my ass out after he stuck a finger in me. He should have allowed me to have a conversation with him face to face with my clothes on to make that decision. The previous two operations I had on my anus required many stitches and pain management. He did not tell me if there would be stitches until after I repeatedly asked the scope of the procedure. I should have been allowed to consent while in a less vulnerable position where I could look him in the face. I was glad that he was able to treat me even though his staff was ruthless. I did give my consent but in a very vulnerable position.
Care provider did not discuss risks of proposed treatment.
Good
Great service
Didn't show concern or compassion
I was not told to fast before my appointment. I was not told that I would have surgery on this day. I was not told there was a recovery period nor was I given any instructions.
Dr Pickron is straight forward but personable and friendly. He puts the patient at ease with an easy going and confident attitude. I trust his skills for treating my ailments. And also he just seems like a good guy.
I was very impressed with Dr. Pickron.
The care provider just told me he couldn't do anything. Again, told me they would call me. Also, this is the second time I'm seeing them for the same problem and I cannot get help for the life of me.
Pleasant
Good
I have a very high degree of trust in the doctor.
I love this doctor . He is amazing.
Good
Keep up the great work
It was a covid test for pre-surgery and not much was really needed. The staff is always great and helpful.
I would've liked more discussion about my problem, alternatives etc. Seemed in a rush.
My doctors and nurses were top notch. My surgery was well planned and went very well. I'm fully recovered and things could not have been any better. It was a professional experience, with a very positive outcome.
I wasn't given no instructions about what to expect after the procedure.
Good
Most efficient team!
Dr. Pickron explained my options very well. I wish it was a better outcome, but at least I know that the Huntsman team came to the same conclusion that the Montana team did. I feel comfort in knowing that they concur.
Overall, very impressed.
I should of asked more questions about the percentage of patients that get sepsus or a leak and infection.
Fantastic team! Thank you.
Very nice
Additional tests were scheduled on the spot and completed as swiftly and conveniently as possible. I actually felt like I was being treated almost royally. Huntsman personnel went out of their way to help and be very thorough. I felt extremely cared for. I felt that every effort was being made to make sure they had all the information and background on me they needed to ensure they had the best and most positive outcome possible.
Good
Great
Could have discussed options more
Lots of information for me to digest in a few minutes. At times I got confused.
physician did not prepare me for post operation care at all.
I seen several providers at huntsman. One provider was very matter of fact and unconcerned and unwilling to discuss any other options even though what he proposed would make me more sick at the end of my treatment than at the beginning in my mind anyway
Good
good
I have more concerns
Very friendly staff and wanted to get to know me and me them.
awesome personnel
Excellent
I've been treated very well and would recommend the staff to anyone.
I myself didn't think of the questions, I needed to ask until the shock of surgery had left me. I wish I would of asked more questions.
very good in all aspects.
my particular condition seems to be very rare so this was a trial to see if it might help
saw the actual doctor for about 3 minutes total.
at the time we spoke he did not know enough about my medical needs to tell me what he was going to do.
I apparently have a difficult condition. I was hoping for some more immediate relief, but the Physician was good about explaining my options.
excellent care
no BS. Got it done.
interesting ideas for treatment.
discussion of further treatment options made it clear to me that they would not be beneficial to my condition and could in fact make it less manageable. Gave me clarity to adjust to new lifestyle and make up my mind to do what I have to do to make the best of it.
Neither poor nor exceptional
Followup exam. No news.
Dr pickron is amazing and I appreciate everything he does for me. I know he truly cares about me and thats priceless.
