Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Pretentious
What I will give him is that he is very nice and personable. However, for the past 2 YEARS my spouse and I have been dealing with a mystery illness that developed after Covid that essentially debilitates. He had the audacity to tell us after 3 visits that my spouse isn’t a “cripple” and refused to sign documentation about a diagnosis we already had from a previous doctor. Also, he said that our diagnosis doesn’t do anything to the mind, or the stomach, when a simple Google search shows that medical consensus is that they do. Obviously, we’re not going back. If you’re dealing with something that isn’t textbook, or easily solved. Find someone else. Especially if it’s something that causes a family member to not be able to work. He won’t help you.

I started seeing Dr. Skousen when I lived in Payson and I think he is such a great doctor that I actually travel past several clinics to see him. He is one of those doctors who are caring, understanding and knowledgeable. He has a great network of other Dr's he will refer you to as well.

Dr. Skousen is not only an extremely knowledgeable and qualified doctor it also a person who takes a personal interest in each of his patients care and wellbeing. He listens, gives appropriate and sound advise and then follows up with his patients better than any other doctor I’ve ever had before. I have been a patient of his for many years and have and would recommend him to others who want the best personal family practice physician possible.

My husband is a patient of Dr. Skousen and my doctor had moved away so when I thought I had a possible bladder infection (I use to get them often) I decided I go see Dr Skousen. He ran tests and determined I didn't have one. He suggested it might be a sciatic nerve issue. So I decided to go see a local chiropractor who came highly recommended. And sure enough an adjustment did the job! Thank you, thank you, Dr. Skousen for listening to my concerns and caring about my health enough to not just simply prescribe an antibiotic because I felt I knew what was the matter. You didn't act like you knew better than me you simply wanted what was foremost. Thank you, you're the Best!
