After a hefty tumble whilest snowboarding a few years ago, I needed to have my knees checked out…read moreafter a couple weeks of consistent pain. I called Alta View Sports Medicine and was able to schedule a new patient appointment within just a few days. I saw Dr. Sybrowsky and he spent a good amount of time with me, listening to my concerns and checking me out. He examined my knees and other area he was suspicious of for injury. He was very thorough and I was amazed he spent more than half an hour with me and took a lot of time explaining what was causing the issues, what it would mean, and how to treat the problem. He supplied me a couple of knee braces, lots of advice and care instructions, in addition to comfort and trust with him. Since then. I've had to see him to not only follow up with my knees, but more recently, a broken wrist obtained while mountain biking down from the top of Snowbird (by means of taking the tram up). Since the Dr and his staff are specialized, they offer a higher level of service and knowledge, that ends up leading to a better experience, treatment, and healing. I would definitely recommend Dr Sybrowsky and this practice to anyone I know who can utilize his talent. My only gripe with all of my experiences would be when I tried to schedule an immediate appointment, as quickly as possible, when I first broke my wrist. Since Dr S was booked up for the next few days, I asked if I could see someone else at the office, a different Dr. I was shocked when I was advised that once in their system and having seen a Dr, I can't see a different Dr at their office. Maybe there is a logical reason for this, but I thought it odd and somewhat inconvenient. His office is pretty good about getting appointments scheduled though, and it's convenient that he works out of 2 hospitals (Alta View & Lone Peak). His staff is awesome, but I prefer the staff at Alta View better; they're more friendly and professional.

Love Dr. Sybrowsky, but the Alta View Sports Medicine Office policies are ridiculously harsh and…read morebiased! Upon calling to schedule an appointment today, I was informed that I had a left over bill after my insurance coverage of $11.26 from last year. (I had honestly forgotten to send the payment while dealing with my injury and trying to run my business through it all) Anyway, they told me that I just needed to clear it up with collections and I could be seen...but, they failed to disclose a very important fact. After paying it immediately and calling their office back, the office manager got on the phone and informed me that because I had a balance that went to collections, even though it was paid, I would now be required to pay my total bill, including x-rays, etc. upfront at the time of the appointment and have my insurance reimburse me! She then went on to tell me that this had happened before, but after looking at my insurance transcripts, I found that THEY were at fault the 1st time for under charging me for my insurance co-pay. The transcript also shows that it was paid promptly when I went back in for my 6 week follow-up visit and I was informed of the office staff's error. There's no consideration for their patients with this policy...they obviously forget that we are all human and sometimes, life happens! If you search, you will also find a review from another that had this same treatment over a bill that was less then $2.00. As a business owner, I realize that it's important for everyone to pay their bills, on time, but their policies and disregard for honest human mistakes are over the top! "I will remember that I do not treat a fever chart, a cancerous growth, but a sick human being, whose illness may affect the person's family and economic stability. My responsibility includes these related problems, if I am to care adequately for the sick. I will prevent disease whenever I can, for prevention is preferable to cure. I will remember that I remain a member of society, with special obligations to all my fellow human beings, those sound of mind and body as well as the infirm."

I have been a patient of Dr. Pingree since 2016 ( first spinal fusion ), then again in 2019 (…read moresecond more intense spinal fusion ) FBS. Since my last fusion I've continued to suffer greatly, unable to work, do daily chores, and just live without struggling with this pain. Well, I had another MRI and EMG and another nerve study done. I followed through on everything I was told I should do by the PA's in his office and even though a different doctor. And they proceeded to shut me down regarding the pain, stiffness and tightness, to name a few issues, and then proceeded to dismiss me from their care and told me to go find a new Neurologist because they didn't think I was a good candidate for surgery. First, please go over my test results, second,suggest a couple of different Neurologist's, third, just because I might not need another fusion right away, I still deserve to be treated like I was treated before each of my surgeries!! One last thing, in 2019 when I went back to see Dr. Pingree to go over a recent MRI which was ordered by a different doctor, he proceeded to yell at me and asked me why I didn't come in to him! Okay, I guess when you are no longer a good surgical specimen everyone in that office treats you like your out of your mind and that you have no idea what is happening within your own body?!?!? As far as I go, I'm extremely in touch with the going's on within my body and expect to be treated better that just a paycheck!!! So now I'm without a Neurologist and have no idea who's good, compassionate and loyal to their patients!?!?!? I'm very sad and in complete dismay!! Good luck!!!

I don't love that I have to be treated here, but I really do love the doctors here. I've been here…read morefor 2 or 3 years. And they are always quick. I've never been there over an hour. I appreciate their effectiveness, but willingness to treat me as an individual. Dr Raj has always remembered me since the very beginning. He knew personal things about me and always brought them up. They are quick and efficient, but I have never felt like a number being pushed through the conveyor belt like I have at other doctors (like an OB when I was pregnant- that was sad!!) Dr Raj often jokes and makes me feel more comfortable during procedures or appointments. I feel like he is a friend. He knows what my insurance requires and how to get what I need while using my coverage. Since I've been going for years, I get interested in things they are doing or seeing during procedures so I sometimes ask questions. He is so great to answer things and let me know what is going on. I never feel uncomfortable, even when I'm getting shots in my tailbone and am rather....exposed. He is respectful and professional. Anna, the PA (I think) is awesome too! She is so caring and takes time to talk if you ask. Again, she does have a pattern of the way she asks questions, does the prescriptions, and leaves, but that's just because they see so many people in a day and if there are no other needs, then why not be fast? But I've had her administer trigger point injections or stay and talk during my medication refill appointment. I know she cares and wants what is best for me. She's been honest when I've asked about my future and where my treatment is going. I really appreciate her. Some of the nurses are also memorable and great. At least I think they are nurses. Or assistants of some type. I'm not sure titles. I would know their names if I heard them, but can't recall them all. One, I think Stephanie, loves Batman and has a lot of personality. She is fun and makes me feel comfortable. There is also an older woman who helps with procedures. I always feel a little better when I see her. It means the procedure is close and I'm in good hands. She's funny and very knowledgeable. She takes time to explain what she's seeing as she sets up they X-ray. She has experience as a patient and professional, so she understands what it feels like as well as what is going on. She often makes jokes and is so fun. Together these professionals make me feel welcome and well taken care of. I went to another pain clinic before this and I hated going. I waited forever. The doctors were cold. I was a number. It was terrible. I'm so glad I changed doctors and feel grateful to be a patient here.

When I told him that, he said, "Well I told you there was only a 20% chance this would work." To make the lie even worse, he put on a show of great sympathy that there was such a terrible "misunderstanding." That was in 2008. Today the pain is still so overwhelming that I can't do anything. My current spinal neurosurgeon looked at my MRI and said, "I can see why you're in more pain. It's the way he put the screws into the facets." Don't even think about seeing Dr. Clawson. Just no.
