Utah Neurological Clinic

"Absolute joke of an office. Several physicians advised I would need surgery for four herniated discs in my neck, but this was the only clinic my insurance covered. After waiting several weeks to get in, we arrive for our appointment. 10-15 minutes after we arrive, a guy in a t shirt and jeans strolls into the office. Turns out, that was Dr. Kimball. We get called into the room a few minutes later, and within seconds, before even pulling up my chart or MRI, he says he doesn't think it's surgical, and refers me to Spinal Interventions. Of course, since we now had an "Office Visit" I have to pay $160 for what he could have just told me on the phone. It was very unprofessional for him to be late, and even more so that we had to take hours out of our day only to have him tell me it's not surgical before he even gets the door closed. But he got his $160. Spinal Interventions didn't solve the problem either, so now I'm switching insurance companies to be able to get into a real neurosurgeon in January who will help with my pain."

"I was attending a soccer game, on a May Saturday morning. I turned around in my chair and picked up my 18 month old granddaughter, then turned back around with her in my arms and placed her on my lap. I instantly felt nauseated and excused myself. Over the next 3 days I was in excruciating pain and unsure if it's source. My Primary Care x-ray did not look good. Referred to a spine doctor, MRI then to Dr John Edwards. Sumitt Brain & Spine moved quickly and efficiently to preserve my quality of life. A serious situation was unveiled with the MRI and they wasted no time getting me into surgery as soon as possible. In the mean time, they kept me comfortable. I owe my life to them ---- literally, my legs, bladder and bowels. Thank you Tyler for recognizing the severity of my symptoms. Thank you Brittany for your follow-up confidence and encouragement. Thank you Dr Edwards for your dedication to this field. Thank you for not being afraid to recreate what spine surgery looks like, for encouraging all kinds of movement early in my post-op experience. Thank you to you and your staff staff for pushing me. I am stronger than I ever realized I could be. I will rise above this experience because of each of you and your individual roles in my diagnosis, surgery and recovery."

"At this point in time I would not recommend, at all. I was told in January I needed brain surgery. It is now almost June, I have made countless attempts to figure out what is going on, just to be told " someone will get a hold of me" when nobody does. I could lose my vision, I'm 29 and I'm not even able to drive anymore. I know neurologist are hard to get into. But save your time, and your health and go elsewhere."

"Dr Bevan and Dr Sleight are absolutely wonderful! They definitely care about their patients, they are very thorough in keeping the patient and family apprised of possible outcomes, at least in our case. They resected a large mass that was in the brain, skull and scalp and ensured we knew what to look for during healing to prevent any additional complications. Thanks to you all!"

"Doctors are solid. That's the most important thing. I've worked with Dr. Bevan and he's excellent. However, if you have an appointment with one of their neurosurgeons you should plan for serious delays. The office isn't run very well. Each of my appointments has been delayed 1-3 hours because of emergency surgeries or overbooking. I guess it’s the nature of a neurosurgeon’s job to get pulled into emergency surgeries, but the office staff doesn’t communicate very well about the delays. If you can’t wait long enough for the doctor to get back then the only alternative they propose is to reschedule your appointment for 1-2 weeks later. So the doctors are great, but just be prepared to block off your whole day whenever you go in for an appointment."
