National Jewish Health Patient– October, 2016
*Dr. Otsu is a caring provider. She got tears in her eyes when I explained that I have to stay healthy to be a caregiver for my husband, who has Alzheimer's.

National Jewish Health Patient– July, 2016
She was excellent. Great listener & easy too talk to concerning my issues.
