National Jewish Health Patient– June, 2019
This was my first time with Dr. Volker, and I was impressed snd delighted by her. I won't need followup care, but, if I did, I would request to see her and would refer my friends to her.

National Jewish Health Patient– January, 2019
Dr. Volker was one of the best doctors I've ever visited. She was so informative while still being down to earth, her bedside manner is amazing and you can tell it comes naturally to her. She is compassionate while being direct and realistic. I wish every doctor I had was as good as she is, and that is no exaggeration.

National Jewish Health Patient– November, 2018
Dr Volker is a breath of fresh air. She still cares about what she is doing and is not as yet burned out. She has a good fund of knowledge, and took a good history. On my first visit, she blew me away, by having actually read the chart before hand. This makes her the last of a dying breed. I hope you administrators treat her well, so she will stay.

Follow up will only be determined after the results of the test is known.
