    I found that DrTrujillo is arrogant and does not take the time to explain possible medical…read moreconditions/ or surgeries. His male PA is similar and forgot/declined to order his last approved rx of tramadol for my spinal surgery. I then had to travel the 2hrs on Saturday to request help at Summit ER. He then reported me as rude and stated that I do not like Trujillo (true) or PA HALL -truthfully I was tearful from pain and exhaustion but polite and truthful. But, PA HALL is patient and appears concerned and pleasant. However, this pain clinic is not interested in reducing your opioid consumption - rather will increase the amount of and type of as patient may request.

    I brought my 10-year-old daughter for a visit with Dr Amaral to establish care and for a yearly…read morewellness exam. We didn't have any concerns, we only wanted to establish care as her previous doctor moved away. I asked a clarifying question about which lines represented my daughter on the growth chart. Dr. Amaral pointed out that she has gained a little weight in the past two years, going from below average to around or a little above average, but still within the healthy range. I mentioned that I've read that some children do gain a little weight right before the onset of puberty. Dr. Amaral agreed with me that this does happen, and then he began discussing health and nutrition with us. He was talking about not eating processed foods and how he recently started watching his own weight and was startled to realize how many calories are in various foods. At first it was okay, but he went on for far too long to the point where I could see that my daughter was getting uncomfortable. It was clear to me that she felt targeted by his words, and that she felt like he was saying she was overweight. I interjected to say that my 10yo eats healthily and actually prefers vegetables, and that one of her favorite things to eat is vegetables from veggie trays. Instead of acknowledging this in any positive way towards her, he immediately asked if she eats the ranch dressing that tends to come with veggie trays. She said that she sometimes does, and he then went on another tangent about how many calories are in ranch dressing and how ranch dressing "ruins salads." This to a 10-year-old child whose eating habits he has no knowledge of-- a child who regularly eats plain vegetables and often eschews dressing entirely on her salads. Besides which, calories aren't inherently evil-- only in excess. The way he was talking, all calories are bad and should be avoided, but in my opinion, moderate calories for a growing child are perfectly acceptable. My daughter is very intelligent and was listening to every word he said. I never expected that she would be made to feel embarrassed and ashamed of her body in a pediatric doctor's office. We live in a world of body shaming and inappropriate body image issues, and the last thing I need is a doctor talking excessively about weight gain and calories to my child. I could see that she was becoming increasingly uncomfortable with his ongoing monologue about the evils of calories. When it became clear that he was not going to be wrapping things up anytime soon, I was obliged to interrupt him. I said, "Let's move on to something else; we don't want to give her a complex." He seemed a bit nonplussed by this and after that the appointment wrapped up quickly. As we were driving away, my daughter burst into tears. She said that she was so uncomfortable with him going on like that, and that she felt like he thought she was fat. She said she sat there hiding her stomach with folded arms because she felt so uncomfortable. We discussed what he'd said and how he was not aware of her actual eating habits and that he was wrong to have pontificated endlessly as he did. I write in hope of preventing the same sort of conversation from adversely affecting other children in the future. Dr. Amaral did not seem malicious in his intent, but he seemed entirely unaware of the effects of his words upon an alert and intelligent child. We will not be back to his office. I can only hope my child does not have lasting insecurities because of his thoughtless and insensitive approach.

    Dr Brewer is one of the best Optometrists i seen in a while! My husband had a bad reaction to…read moresomething and his retinas became inflamed and his vision was severely compromised. Dr Brewer took the time to figure it out, and even asked my husband to call him if it didn't settle down before his next appt in three days. The blood tests showed a genetic marker for inflation. We have been to his office for follow up 5 - 6 times and the problem is going away! His vision was 20/100 , now it is back to 20/40. This office and staff deserves 5 stars probably from everyone! Dr Brewer even wanted other docs looking at this. The Opthomologist said Dr Brewer had this under control. The office was a bit hard to find but it is on the Show Low side of Annie's Bistro! Thanks a million Dr. Brewer!

    I filled out my forms online (3 times because twice there was "an unexpected error, so try again…read morelater.") This was supposed speed up the check in process. Nope! I walked into the office and went up to the counter. 4 people behind the counter, none of whom said hello or acknowledged my presence. There was a tablet on a post which is the only way to check in. I began the process but the first 4 things it asked me for were exactly what I filled out on line to save time. Then, I was required to list my gender identity and my pronouns. This is for an appointment with an eye doctor! I needed eye glasses! I went up to the counter and said I would like to check in with a human. 4 people behind the counter, but none could check me in. I left.

Ortho is like OB though, prone to emergencies, so you're likely going to have a wait. Be patient they will give you the time you need too!

Dr. Reagan repaired my husband's shoulder and so far he has been very happy. He was very detailed and did a great job on the repair. He also has a good bedside manner. I tried to get in with Reagan but he was booked for four months, so I ended up with Brimhall, who was only booked two months out. Dr Brimhall is very rushed. During my appointment with Dr. Brimhall, he was interrupted multiple times by his assistant with questions about other patients. A parent of a patient ambushed him in the hall to ask questions, and he had to remind himself multiple times what he was doing as he would start back with me. He was told several other coexisting medical conditions in previous appointments, and they are all documented in my chart, but I had to remind him when he told me things that were Contradicting my medical history. He simply has too many patients to keep it straight. I was supposed to have an injection in my hip today but his assistant could never tell me a definitive time, so I have been sitting around waiting all day for a phone call which I don't think is going to happen. I cleared my schedule and at some point I think I'm supposed to be at the surgery center but no one can tell me when. I believe them to be competent doctors, however I feel that they are pulled in too many directions. i regret starting care with their office, and I wish I had gone to an orthopedist in Phoenix or Tucson. The drive would have been inconvenient, however I don't think I would've had to wait so long for care so it would have been a about equal.
