National Jewish Health Patient– December, 2017
As I live [OUT OF STATE] I would not recommend this provider but I may go back to NJH for a follow up visit as he seemed very confident.

National Jewish Health Patient– December, 2017
on the last visit Dr Toribara was in a rush to leave the room. I still think he is the best doctor I've ever seen.

National Jewish Health Patient– July, 2017
Dr Toribara is a very pleasant person and an exceptional physician. In my unfortunately extensive experience, most doctors listen with one ear and take a few notes of questionable accuracy. After speaking with Dr Toribara, I felt that he truly heard my concerns. Still, I was amazed to receive notes in the mail that reflected everything I told him precisely. More importantly, he proposed a completely effective solution to the problem for which I was referred. This simple answer had never been touched upon by the [PROVIDERS] I'd seen in recent years. Though he wasn't able to solve some of my rarer concerns, I felt as if he genuinely cared and would continue to try after I left. I am extremely impressed.

National Jewish Health Patient– June, 2017
Dr. Neil Toribara is A+++

National Jewish Health Patient– May, 2017
Dr.Toribara is caring and highly intelligent-I had a recent stressful experience for a hospitalization (unaffiliated with National Jewish Health). He was able to give me a clearer diagnosis, something the [CONDITION] consult at the hospital could not do. I left feeling more at ease and positive because my doctor had shown such great concern and desire to get to the bottom of my illness, rather than just say it was an unknown [CONDITION]. Since then I have recovered almost 100% thanks to his care and recommendations.

National Jewish Health Patient– March, 2017
Dr Toribarra has been wonderful to me--I live in [city] so much of my care has to be collaborative with my PCP here. He has always been very accessible and available to answer all of my questions and has listened when I have had concerns about side effects etc of my medicine and treatment plan. He has been very compassionate and understanding that I not only have [CONDITION] but also experienced vey unexpected non related medical conditions. I recommend him to anyone I know that is having trouble with [CONDITION] --it is worth the travel to NJH to have Dr Toribarra be a part of my health care team--PLEASE tell him how very thankful I am ~

National Jewish Health Patient– March, 2017
Dr. Toribarra is an outstanding physician in all respects.

National Jewish Health Patient– February, 2017
I cannot say enough good things about *Dr. Toribara and this facility.

National Jewish Health Patient– January, 2017
Medical staff very caring.

National Jewish Health Patient– December, 2016
Dr. Toribara was very concerned that I understood the reasons for the tests and the procedures
