CU Medicine is recognizing Patient Experience Week to emphasize our commitment to delivering exceptional care experiences for every patient.
"Positive patient experiences directly impact better health outcomes and higher care quality," said Austin Reed, MPH-HSMP, CU Medicine's healthcare experience specialist. "We know that when patients have positive experiences in their care journey, they
are more likely to understand and follow care plans from their providers."
CU Medicine aims to make each touchpoint convenient, personalized and focused on patients' physical and emotional needs.
“The patient experience from my perspective is a profound journey. It encompasses the interactions patients have with their providers and ensures patients feel heard, respected and involved in their health care,” shares December Swain, lead
patient service representative at CU Medicine Obstetrics and Gynecology – Central Park.

Mary Vierthaler, MD – CU Medicine Nephrology — Longmont Specialty Care Center
Dr. Vierthaler has been my nephrologist for over two years and has walked me through some scary times with thorough explanations and has addressed all my concerns. She is an excellent communicator and I have a sense of well-being as she explains my lab
work with positive suggestions and instructions for my lifestyle. Perhaps my most respected medical professional.

Sherrie Ballantine-Talmadge, DO – CU Sports Medicine and Performance Center — Boulder
Dr. Ballentine and her team are the most caring and talented doctors I’ve come across! I trust them 100%. We have been with them for several years.
James Genuario, MD – CU Medicine Orthopedics and Sports Medicine — Steadman Hawkins Clinic Denver
Dr. Genuario is amazing and I am so thankful to have spent the last year with him and his team. He is compassionate and really different than some of the surgeons who make you feel like cutting is the only option. We tried conservative routes first and
ended up with surgeries, but I felt 100% in line with my treatment and like the plan was concise and methodical. They always listened to me, and I always felt like I had a team in my corner. Had many injuries that required several surgeries and injections
and with their help, I'm back in the saddle after 2 years of being unable to ride. I have no complaints except that I won't get to see his warm cheery smile anymore. Thanks so much!
Matthew DeCamp, MD – CU Medicine Internal Medicine — Cherry Creek
10 out of 10 would recommend Dr DeCamp. He is knowledgeable, relatable, patient and understanding. He listens and responds to every one of my concerns, we develop solutions and I leave confident that I can take action to get well and improve my health
permanently. Healing has to do with how safe and heard you feel with your doctor. Dr DeCamp’s skills are impeccable, this coupled with his compassion and his understanding has made this MY BEST YEAR YET!
Katherin Compton, DO – CU Medicine Family Medicine — Landmark
