This was my first time meeting Dr Utz as my previous provider retired. She was very thorough in covering my history and what to expect. I think she did a great job.

Dr Utz was extremely good at clearly explaining the various options, procedures, issues and likely treatment/non treatment issues and future visits.

Awful, basically because im not diabetic or have high blood pressure I was told that there's no need for further testing and pushed a 500.00 a month weightloss shot that I told several times wasnt an option. Made me feel stupid and crazy for being there. Looked annoyed, was condescending. Talked to me like a child. Said since I was able to breastfeed and had a period there couldn't be anything wrong hormonally.

Ask questions and had paperwork that I handed to Dr from my cardiologist. She stated that she couldn't do a specific thing he asked and never answered to me about if possibility of a certain medical diagnosis. Said stop 2 medication and said gonna run infusion and then left. Never saw Dr again. Nurse or receptionist didn't know if I had to return or not. Receptionist said I guess if you need to see her again.
