National Jewish Health PatientJune, 2023
It seemed as he was preoccupied with something else so my time was brief and felt rushed.

National Jewish Health PatientMay, 2023
*Dr. Eddy is the BEST! NJH is very lucky to have such a brilliant and care doctor on staff.

National Jewish Health PatientMay, 2023
*Dr. Eddy is the best. He is an excellent dr. in all aspects. He goes over and above any dr. I've ever had.

National Jewish Health PatientApril, 2023
Provider did not seem fully aware of my health issues aside from Lung issues. I had to remind the physician that I am on a medication for RA which has an effect on my lung treatment plan. The physician should have been aware of that, as it's not new information and should have been taken into account when reviewing my lung cultures and determining my treatment plan. My physician responded to a recent, potentially life-altering health concern that I'm having by giving a very superficial, flippant comment- dismissing my anxiety about it and the seriousness of the situation.

National Jewish Health PatientApril, 2023
