    Carrie is very professional and caring. You can tell she has a big heart and she'll do pretty much anything for you. She's very concerned about how the patient feels and she's ready to help if there's anything wrong so far I appreciate how she's helped me so far and look forward to having her help me in the future.

    I think that Dr. Low is the best overall doctor/provider that I have had in helping me deal with my medical needs. She listens to what I have to say, and I feel that she is very sincere and truly tries to come up with the best solutions to meet my needs. I trust her and value her opinion. I feel very fortunate that she was placed on the team of U of U providers that were assigned to me.

    She has been amazing and wonderful and very thoughtful in the ways that she has taken care of me. There has been no hesitation on her part to help over weekends or after hours or in any way that might normally be off limits for a physician.
