Dr. Wayne Ormsby, MD

It took me 3 months to be seen. Meanwhile, I was so worried about what they would find. I have been miserable for a year with major symptoms. I can barely function and have missed a lot of work. I was diagnosed with an incurable cancer. I asked how I can possibly function at work. He said sees patients with much worse conditions and they work. So....

I highly recommend Dr. Wayne Ormsby. In my appointment with him at his Salt Lake City office, he was thorough, patient and kind, and gave a clear, concise and detailed explanation of my condition. He interpreted the lab results in terms I could understand and also took all of my questions seriously. He was extremely well prepared and came into the appointment already having read the results and notes from my labs and appointments with other doctors. He gave me a firm diagnosis and recommendations at the end of my appointment. Also, he was right on time for our appointment. I did not have to wait even a minute. Everything about Dr. Ormsby was first rate. Five stars!

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.

Dr Ormsby is kind and always takes the time to explain my health issues. I’ve been seeing him for 5 years and I trust him

Dr. Ormsby was excellent. His friendliness and good humor as he offered post-colectomy oncological advise was much appreciated. Dr. Ormsby was very encouraging in his presentation and explanation of my blood-lab test results, which were excellent and very much improved since my colon tumor removal in April 2020. He was also very accommodating with his time and highly responsive to my personal requests. After performing a digital rectal exam (DRE), based on my high 9.8 PSA level, he was very generous in sharing his knowledge and well-calibrated recommendation to seek out area urological clinics for a prostate ultrasound and new prostate assessment that may suggest preparation for a second prostate biopsy to ascertain the presence of cancer.

Great physician. Knowledgeable and kind.
