National Jewish Health Patient– August, 2018
I was surprised at how much time he spent with me, listened & answered my questions. Very helpful discussion of optional possibilities.

National Jewish Health Patient– August, 2018
My condition initially improved and has remained stable - but no additional improvements seen - although we've tried several things.

National Jewish Health Patient– July, 2018
*Dr. Saft is excellent!

National Jewish Health Patient– May, 2018
*Dr. Saft is one of the best physicians I have worked with.

National Jewish Health Patient– March, 2018
Medicines were already familiar, Dr. Saft only adjusted to this point.

National Jewish Health Patient– March, 2018
Saw this doctor a year ago. He treated me for a 2 week stay at [HOSPITAL]. He never missed a day coming by to visit me. One of the best doctors I've ever had.

National Jewish Health Patient– February, 2018
I have already recommended *Dr. Saft to my family member who have similar health issues.

National Jewish Health Patient– September, 2017
My experience with *Dr. Saft was excellent. He was very kind and covered my health problems very efficiently.

National Jewish Health Patient– September, 2017
confidence depends on his follow up as does recommending him to others

National Jewish Health Patient– September, 2017
Dr. Saft is one of the most thoughtful and careful physicians that I have encountered. As a scientist I really appreciated his systematic and thoughtful questions in his attempt to understand my problems. While we do not yet understand the cause, the medication he prescribed has eliminated a significant part of the problem. Further he has suggested a possible cause for the remaining issue, but due to my travels we are not yet able to test this hypothesis.
