National Jewish Health Patient – December, 2023

Dr. Koslow was very clear and explained the status and the potential options that would be looked at in working on my complicated health issues that are very complex. This gives me the confidence that ALL that can be done is being done and will be done. I feel that I am getting the best care in the country, and though I grew up in Massachusetts, which has some of the best health care in the country, National Jewish is miles ahead of them. I am so grateful for the caring of everyone I come into contact with.
National Jewish Health Patient – December, 2023

Dr Koslow is by far the best doctor I have ever had in my long life, in terms of his caring, involvement in my case, deep knowledge, and ability to communicate with me clearly. I give him my highest marks and would recommend him highly.

Dr. Koslow was very good at adjusting my attitude, which I need every so often. I was seeing him for the first time; I had been seeing Dr Huitt for 7 years until her retirement.
National Jewish Health Patient – June, 2022

Dr. Koslow treated me like family. He talked to me in a way that was both caring and informative. I feel that he has a good handle on my condition and has offered the best advice and further treatment plans for said condition. I would highly recommend him as a lung specialist.
National Jewish Health Patient – May, 2022

I've seen this pulmonologist twice in a two year period. On both occasions, I found Dr Koslow to be rather dismissive of my concerns and some of his responses to my questions were to "canned" for my liking. I am going to request to transfer to a different plumonalogist.
