Dr. Troung takes time, seems genuinely concerned and I feel is extremely knowledgable and I always leave feeling well taken care of and informed. She is an extremely good Dr.

National Jewish Health Patient– May, 2016
I would like for her to provide more details and medical information about my conditions, blood work, what it means and also providing copies of blood work with me and going over them in more detail. I'm very confident in her knowledge and only complaint is that I'd really like to understand the condition and medical diagnoses in more depth -- additional diagnostics would be appreciated to further pinpoint the disease when I experience flares.
