National Jewish Health Patient– December, 2016 Good National Jewish Health Patient– December, 2016 I felt in very well and professional hands by everybody National Jewish Health Patient– December, 2016 Dr Lo is the best National Jewish Health Patient– November, 2016 could not ask for better facility or doctor. closer to "city" would be nice though National Jewish Health Patient– November, 2016 My care providers are awesome. l can't say enough about the care and treatment that l have received. Outstanding!! National Jewish Health Patient– November, 2016 Always a pleasant experience.... National Jewish Health Patient– November, 2016 Steve is fantastic! National Jewish Health Patient– October, 2016 He was great. The strength of our experience thus far. National Jewish Health Patient– October, 2016 Complete and caring care. National Jewish Health Patient– October, 2016 Amazing doctors & staff! National Jewish Health Patient– October, 2016 BEST Doctor at National Jewish. National Jewish Health Patient– September, 2016 superb physician National Jewish Health Patient– September, 2016 I have received very good care from Jewish National Jewish Health Patient– August, 2016 Great care provider. National Jewish Health Patient– August, 2016 Steve is the best doctor I've ever had. He was genuinely excited when the spirometry results were excellent. He made a couple of changes and I started experiencing a positive difference quickly. You have many positive reviews about Steve from me. All I can say is that everything great I've had to say about him is still true. He has taken such great care of me and I believe he saved my life more than once since I first started seeing him. I hope he's being well compensated because he deserves to be making what the 1% do as a reflection of how good he is. Unfortunately, I know that's not possible. I will be increasing the amount that I'm leaving NJH in my will when we revise out estate plan in the next couple of months for asthma research and in Steve's honor. I am doing this primarily because of Steve. He is simply the best! National Jewish Health Patient– August, 2016 have already recommended to others National Jewish Health Patient– August, 2016 I am a "cheerleader" for both NJH & my doctor..he's the best National Jewish Health Patient– August, 2016 Dr. Lommatszch was very congenial. I hope I spelled his name right! We did not talk about my medication daily routine this time. National Jewish Health Patient– August, 2016 I am so grateful that Dr. Huge referred me to my Doctor. National Jewish Health Patient– August, 2016 very professional interaction!

National Jewish Health Patient– June, 2016 *Dr. Lommatzsch is absolutely the best! National Jewish Health Patient– June, 2016 Very nice young man National Jewish Health Patient– June, 2016 I like Dr. Lommatzsch, but I don't think he listens to me (or at least does not understand the points I am trying to assert). He feels, without question or doubt, that I need to use supplemental oxygen. I understand that. And because of my experiences with the deaths of both of my parents from Emphysema, I do not wish to be dependent upon supplemental oxygen. National Jewish Health Patient– May, 2016 Very compassionate, understand doctor. Best I've ever seen! National Jewish Health Patient– May, 2016 Was very pleased with my treatment. National Jewish Health Patient– May, 2016 I encourage people to try NJH & *Dr. Lommatzsch. National Jewish Health Patient– May, 2016 Steve is the best doctor I've seen in my 60+ years and I trust him absolutely. You can refer back to my previous surveys. This check-up was significant because my husband and I had planned to go to Europe and we made this appointment to see if I was able. Although I'd already determined that I didn't feel strong enough to go, I discussed this in detail with Steve and he articulated more clearly than I could what was going on and his input, support, and understanding of my health (respiratory, physically and emotionally) confirmed that I'm not yet ready for an overseas trip. I felt cared for and understood and his instructions on my current regimen were very helpful. I very much appreciated the care I received during this visit. National Jewish Health Patient– May, 2016 The best medical care I that I have ever had. National Jewish Health Patient– May, 2016 As a retired Marine officer and currently Department of Defense official I have had ample opportunities to work with exemplary leaders, think tank scholars and elected/appointed government officials. Dr. Steven Lommatzsch has impressed me as a true professional and superb communicator! National Jewish Health Patient– May, 2016 Dr. Lommatzsch always includes me in decisions about my very complex care. I really appreciate that, especially when the possibilities include difficult choices. National Jewish Health Patient– February, 2016 Great experience National Jewish Health Patient– February, 2016 Superb
