Dr. Adley didn’t treat me as a number and a ticket. He didn’t tie me on his watch listen very diligently. Dr. Utley was very aggressive with getting the right thing done for me making sure I had all that I needed as a patient. The follow-through the next day was impressive.

Dr Utley put me at ease and listened to what I had to say. I've always been nervous about doctors and I did not feel that way at all with Dr Utley. I think he's terrific.

I recently moved to Parowan from Utah County where I met with multiple physicians - many appointments to address my high blood pressure and other debilitating health issues with no success. The physician was stretched so thin they did not have time to address the core issues. Dr. Utley solved the issues the first visit.

Having never been seen by Dr Utley prior to my current situation I will look forward to any future care by him. Thank you to the entire staff.

Careful, gentle, willing to refer us if not able to help. Preformed with the tolls available. I realized the limits of the clinic and the policy of IHC. Great to have them close by for our medical needs.
