This is my husband's primary doctor (I see Susan Papner for my annual physicals at the same…read moreoffice), and let me say this up front... if you can appreciate a doctor who can basically shoot the $hit with you while being clinically on the money, this is the doc for you. My husband came in wearing his classic uber-casual shirt which bears the slogan "My Balls Itch" on the front. The doctor entered his room, saw the shirt and, without missing a beat, said "I can give you something for that." :) He then went on to do a follow-up with my husband from an ER visit a few days prior and explained his diagnosis clearly to both of us. I give this guy two thumbs up - he put us at ease through wit and wisdom, yet took us seriously too as far as our concerns about my husband's health. Obviously we CAN wait to go back, but at least we know we're getting top notch care & consideration when we do. :)

Dr. Courtney is my husband's primary care doctor. We live four hours away. After my local doctor…read moreretired, Dr. Courtney became my primary care doctor. I highly recommend him for several reasons. First and more importantly, he listens, totally listens to what we have to say. His answers are well thought out and always right on target. Secondly, he is extemely understanding. He understands what we are trying to tell him and answers every last question we have. We are in our eighties, so we have had the normal number or more than normal issues that those in their eighties experience and he really takes the time to answer us. His recommendations for specialist are excellent! Lastly, his staff is excellent. We are able to talk to someone and are able to schedule appointments easily. Lab reports come back to us in a very reasonable amount of time. In conclusion, we would not drive four hours to see our primary care doctor if he was not the absolute best doctor. We highly recommend Dr. Christopher Courtney and believe that you will, too.

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE WITH Dr. Roper ‼ I was supposed to share this weeks ago when it happened so no…read moreone else would have to experience this especially if you're planning a home birth in Denver. My husband & I have been trying to put together a team of OB/doula/midwife for the home birth of our first baby. We found an amazing Ethiopian doula here in Denver at around 8 weeks & finally found a midwife we adore a few weeks ago. In between us meeting and hiring our doula & midwife, we scheduled an OB appointment, you know, just to see who all is out there. We scheduled an appointment with an OBGYN who I had seen was recommended in several FB groups for parents wanting black birthing professionals. The only red flag was that a few ppl said that the doctor was very judgmental...still excited for the appointment nonetheless. She was so booked up that we only got to see her at our 13 week visit because someone canceled. When I tell you that THAT was the worst doctor experience of my life. First off, she was dismissive of our questions & commentary. Her phone kept ringing, at least 3 times during the appointment & she answered it each time without so much as an excuse me. She rushed thru the ultrasound so we couldn't get a clear picture of the baby. MIND YOU, Before going into our appointment, I already knew not to share that we were planning a home birth. First because I've worked in a hospital before & second, that red flag I mentioned from earlier. My husband made the mistake of asking if we should still see her AND our midwife if we're planning a home birth. BAYBEH, she went left. Talking down on home births & how she'd never recommend anyone give birth at home & how she'd be so pissed if her husband or any of her kids even suggested it. Didn't give any facts, stats, or statistics, just her personal take on home births. Big turn off for me. Then she locked eyes with me & goes "I'd flip if my husband even suggested a home birth" as if to shift the blame to my husband & make him out to be some kind of caveman forcing me to birth at home. THEN to add insult to injury, we were supposed to do genetic testing that day. They even made SURE that I spent an hour plus on the phone with insurance to make sure the test was covered. Just for them to send us to the wrong lab where we waited for 40 minutes before they called us to come back to the office. The nurse was very sweet, but she stuck me 4 times, spilled some of my blood. JUST for us to receive an email a week later saying we needed to come in for a redraw because there wasn't enough blood sample. Long story short, my husband wouldn't start the car & leave after until I cried & vented cuz he knew how pissed I was. Thankfully, never going back. The rest of her staff were sweet, it was really just her

Pre-op nurses- 5star! Surgeon- (Dr Schneider) 5star!…read morePost op staff and facilities- 3 stars, average nursing- some good, some not so much.. But the real problem... Anesthesia- minus 10!!! The encounter I experienced with anesthesiologist Dr Woodward who had My Life in his hands... was horrific. I did not feel safe!!!!! A horrible feeling while completely vulnerable. His ego, OMG. I hope the hospital HR reads this and contacts me. No call from anesthesia night prior- even tho I was told they would contact me- I had concerns, and questions. When I tried to have a pre-op conversation with DR Woodward, He shut me down repeatedly. All he cared about was my signature. Hurry up! Sign this. He just wanted to start. Seriously an absolute traumatic awful feeling. He was barking at the pre op nurse to hurry up with my IV. She was clearly rattled by him. My IV "blew". I complained. She made the decision to start another. He was clearly pissed at her decision and let me know "there is nothing sharp, nothing is hurting you". (As if at 66 years old I didn't know what an IV should feel like?") The second one started to hurt before it was in, now he got really pissed- he repeated his "nothing sharp statement", (I'd love to kick him in his testicular place and tell him it should not hurt because there is nothing sharp!" The nurse was trying her best to hurry under his command. Then he grabbed the mask. He couldn't bother with my needs. He just wanted to shut me up. He put me out! From the time he first introduced himself to the time he knocked me out- 6 minutes tops! Before the IV. In the pre-op room!! WTF???? I verbally told him I was anxious. My chart shows PTSD. I was actually crying! His action was far from "STANDARD of CARE"! He provided none of the bedside courtesy such as-"I'm doing this, next is this."----- Did I forget all this when I woke up? Nope! It is seared in my memory. Dear Dr Woodward- I am a kind person with a soul, not simply a case number and YOU did me very very wrong!! VERY VERY WRONG!!! I pray for GOD to touch you and help you understand how your negligent actions affect others. I deserved respect. I deserved kindness. I received neither. Maybe you should consider another line of work. The shoulder block you rushed to do was incorrectly placed numbing my diaphragm thus sending me home on oxygen (Your skill falls very short of your elevated ego). As I came out of anesthesia I I heard you tell the OR nurse that my heart rate dropped to 30 so u gave me a medication to correct this. I reported hearing this to my husband because it was concerning. I just read the surgical anesthesia report you prepared. You falsified the record indicating my heart rate fell to 40 not 30. You going to tell me I misheard?? Nope! I believe falsely documenting medical records is a crime!! I've had many (5) major surgeries including anesthesia. I'm fully educated on what a Standard of Care should be.

Before I even walked into the door at RIA Endovascular, to have an epidural steroid injection,…read moreJessica, the physician assistant, had already called me and made me feel comfortable. Upon arrival, the front desk receptionist greeted me with a smile and kind words. I waited for approximately 30 minutes (I arrived early), until Jessica came and took me back into a room. Jessica was friendly, personable and extremely compassionate, which eased my anxiety tremendously. The surgical assistant,Mike, came to take me to the surgical room, he was probably one of the friendliest medical professionals I have ever met. He had a great big smile, a personal conversation with me, and again, made me feel comfortable. After going into the surgical room, Mike continued a friendly conversation, even squatting to be at eye level with me, after I had already been placed on my stomach, on the table. Dr. Tyler Green, came in as well as Jessica. Mike assisted the doctor in getting things ready, while Jessica and I had a friendly conversation. At one point the needle made me feel uncomfortable and Jessica squatted down to my eye level and was holding my hands and continuing a conversation, which lessened my anxiety. After the procedure, Jessica and Mike stayed by my side until I could be released. Before I left, Jessica took the time to wipe off the mascara that had rubbed off under my eyes. If you, unfortunately have to have a spinal procedure, I highly recommend RIA in Greenwood Village.

I cannot recommend Dr. Matthew Brown or RIA based on my experience…read more From the beginning, I made it very clear that I have an extensive family history of terminal cancer of all ages and I had already accumulated significant radiation exposure within the year following my pulmonary AVM diagnosis. I have lost multiple close family members to cancer, so every additional CT scan carries an enormous emotional burden for me, since just ONE CT scan raises your cancer risk. I repeatedly explained this and fiercely advocated for myself, but my concerns were never taken seriously. Instead, they were consistently dismissed. My first pulmonary AVM embolization performed by Dr. Brown ultimately failed. I later learned that recanalization after embolization is relatively uncommon (less than 5%), and that failure led to additional testing, an additional radiation angiogram procedure, and another CT scan that would've been avoided had the initial treatment been successful. The worst part came afterward. I requested a follow-up bubble study in lieu of a CT, which showed only a very small late right-to-left shunt--approximately 10 late bubbles. I read on my own that tiny shunts like that aren't treatable and carry no significant risk. I pleaded with Dr. Brown not to order another CT scan and asked that alternatives be considered because of my recent radiation history, given this was such a tiny shunt. Those concerns were ignored. Being told that "there's radiation everywhere" after expressing my fears about cumulative radiation exposure wasn't reassuring--it was dismissive. I was also told without the CT, he wouldn't provide me with medical clearance for future procedures. After seeking a second opinion at Anschutz, I was told that, in my case, the final CT scan was not necessary. The physician reviewed published literature with me indicating that fewer than 30 late bubbles are not associated with any significant neurological risk. He also explained that my request of just a bubble study echocardiogram would have been more than sufficient, rather than another CT scan--an option that was never given to me despite my repeated concerns about radiation exposure. The physician at Anschutz also provided me with medical clearance for future procedures and said the bubble study was enough for that (when Dr. Brown said it wasn't and required the unnecessary CT). Learning afterward that there was published evidence supporting a different approach left me wondering why that evidence was never discussed with me, or why Dr. Brown never read it, or even researched it before ordering another CT scan knowing I was so against it. Now I live with the fear that I underwent additional radiation exposure that wasn't even necessary. No one can tell me whether it will ever affect my health, but I am the one who has to carry that uncertainty for the rest of my life. As the mother of three young children under five years old, that fear is overwhelming. I want to be here for them and watch them grow up. This wasn't just simply disagreeing about a treatment plan--it was feeling that my concerns were dismissed rather than discussed. Shared decision-making means listening to patients, especially when they come prepared and ask informed questions. I don't think it's an unreasonable request of patients that current medical evidence and relevant studies be considered and kept up with by their physician. That was not my experience. This experience permanently damaged my trust in Dr. Brown and RIA. I'm transferring all of my care to Anschutz, and I only wish I had done so before undergoing multiple angiograms and CT scans, including the ones deemed unnecessary. If you have HHT, suspected HHT, or any type of arteriovenous malformation (AVM), I strongly encourage you to seek care at Anschutz instead of RIA. Anschutz will listen to you and your concerns. If you do stay with RIA, at least secure a second opinion before agreeing to repeated imaging or major treatment decisions. I wish I had trusted my instincts sooner. Patients deserve physicians who listen, respect informed questions, stay current on pertinent medical literature, and practice genuine shared decision-making. Unfortunately, that was not my experience with Dr. Matthew Brown or RIA. I deserved better. My children deserved better for their mom. Please continue advocating for yourself. Just because it didn't work for me, doesn't mean you should stop trying. They will have to hear us eventually. -Samantha R
