National Jewish Health Patient– February, 2023 All care providers I encountered were friendly, competent, and inspired confidence. National Jewish Health Patient– February, 2023 Dr. V. Gunter is excelent. Clear, concerned, understainding and listens attentively. Her suggestions are always more than helpful. National Jewish Health Patient– January, 2023 Dr. Guntur is a knowledgeable, compassionate and professional pulmonologist that I would highly recommend . National Jewish Health Patient– January, 2023 *Dr. Gunter is excellent! National Jewish Health Patient– November, 2022 I'm very happy with Dr. Gunter, thank you. National Jewish Health Patient– October, 2022 Answered my questions thoroughly and clearly. National Jewish Health Patient– October, 2022 This was my first appointment with Dr. Gunthur (she replaced Dr. Sergew). I was very impressed with the time she took, questions she asked about my condition, and the explanations of my results. She suggested the possibility of a new medicine in 6 months pending my reaction to a different exercise plan.

National Jewish Health Patient– September, 2022 I have seen this doctor for 3 brief visits. National Jewish Health Patient– September, 2022 Dr. Gunter has always been very helpful , show more National Jewish Health Patient– September, 2022 I really appreciate how Dr. Gunter interacted with me. She is a clear communicator, asked good questions that prompted things I had forgotten to share. She is reassuring and supportive. One thing I particularly appreciated, something I have never experienced at another provider, is how she set expectations about how the process would go. That we would be scheduling a lot of tests and that she wouldn't be following up with me after each one of them - and then told me why - that one test result might mean one thing when considered on its own, but something completely different when considered with the other test results. That she needed to look at it all together and that we would discuss at our next appointment. She urged me to not Google individual results, that she and her team would 100% reach out immediately if something needed rapid attention. It sounds SO SIMPLE, but it was SO HELPFUL and I wonder why other providers elsewhere don't do that. Her calm confidence was much appreciated. I did not rate Dr. Gunter regarding discussion of treatment options as we don't have any at this time. National Jewish Health Patient– August, 2022 Dr Gunther is great.
