Hematologists who are Physicians - West Valley City, UT

"I only have to see him every 6 months but he treats me like I'm his only patient. "

"My mother received a uterine cancer diagnosis in September 2022. Following her first treatment, she experienced two visits to the emergency room and a three-day hospital stay, to which he never checked in on her or our family. At the next appointment Dr. Ormsby recommended a lighter dose of treatment on a weekly basis for the remainder of the treatment, as opposed to the full dose every three weeks. Unfortunately, three days after receiving the first 1/3-dose, she was hospitalized again for four weeks. Throughout this period, we consistently contacted Dr. Ormsby's office to provide them updates on her condition and seek guidance, with the hope that we would be assisted in some way. Regrettably, neither Dr. Ormsby nor his office made any effort to check in or follow up. Even when we informed them that my mother was admitted to the neighboring hospital, her doctor did not visit or call, despite my raising the issue with one of his nurses. I would never recommend Dr. Ormsby to anyone based on his failure to address the severity of the treatment's side effects and his lack of support or concern for my mother's well-being. It appears that his primary focus was financial gain. Furthermore, I must express my disappointment that neither Dr. Ormsby nor anyone from his office reached out or offered condolences after my mother's passing in May. Although her cause of death was unrelated to cancer, but rather a consequence of radiation treatment received at Huntsman, one would expect a doctor, particularly one dealing with matters of life and death, to extend some form of support or acknowledgement to the family. Even when we visited the his office to collect my mother's records and then informing them of her passing, we received no response. It is disheartening to witness such indifference from a healthcare professional who claims to save lives."
