National Jewish Health Patient – May, 2024
Dr.Onofrei has been amazing through my complicated journey. From a hard beginning with devastating Long Covid and continuing to coordinate the care I was in so much need of. I went from the brink of approaching potential death to having hope and coming out of a dark time. Dr.Onofrei guided and continues to help me to return to self sufficiency.

Outstanding listener; patient and attentive. Didn't hurry me, but got right to the point with answers. I hate doctors who talk to me at a 4th grade level; each patient is different and I want a discussion commensurate with my understanding of the situation. Would highly recommend.
