Missed my neck had multiple chronic fractures and other things on MRI. Other doctor elsewhere and PA caught it and could see it on same MRI. Seemed to spend more time trying to disprove my symptoms as if I was chasing pain pills and ambulances.

Review for Dr. Thapar

Dr. Taylor has been one of the few physicians that I have encountered who takes time to listen, engage and to look at the big picture of her patients health. She has been a saving grace for our 2 year old who was diagnosed with asthma.

Review for Dr. Taylor

Dr Kitowski treated me for pleural effusion with a procedure called “thoracentesis”. He explained to me what all was involved in procedure, answered all my questions. The day of the procedure he explained everything he was doing and what I could expect, making sure I was comfortable at all times....

Review for Dr. Kitowski

Went over a lot of medical issues, took his time. easy to talk to. Unfortunately for me he moved out of Colorado.

Review for Dr. Anderson

Traveled 600 miles for an urgent visit. Was to be completed in a timely matter had us come back 3 times in 3 weeks. Over 1 month when I should have been getting treatment was still trying to figure out what to do and what test to order. Would never return my call or email regarding ANY test...
