Surgeons - Lakewood, CO

"I am 58 years old, had surgery for an aortic aneurism, aortic root repair and aortic valve replacement, pretty complex and scary stuff to go through. Dr. Rudersdorf explained my condition, the procedures and options, and risks to me and most importantly to my wife and family. He spent as much time as we needed for questions and concerns, addressing all of them thoroughly. His staff is incredible and very helpful answering questions and scheduling procedures and follow ups. Dr. Rudersdorf called me at home several times and left numbers for him and his staff before and after the surgery and said to call anytime 24/7. His bedside manners are incredible, something rare for many surgeons. You sense that he loves what he is doing and truely cares about you as a patient. I am 1 1/2 months out from surgery, have had no complications and am recovering ahead of schedule. I couldn' t have asked for a better outcome and what a blessing to have Dr. Rudersdorf's skill and compassion to lead me through it. "

"Beware potential patients! I filed a formal complaint online with Colorado's Dental Board against Haeman Noori, DDS oral surgeon regarding his unethical practice and policies, detrimental to my health and welfare. His office staff are all smiles, but Dr. Noori is more concerned about getting paid upfront, even when the insurance company authorizes his c"consultation & treatment" for services. He demanded thousands of dollars up front before he would treat my infected jaw, which was potentially life threatening. He said to avoid hard foods (like a raw carrot), and not to play any physical sports for fear my jaw can break and I could die. Abandoned by him for not being able to come up front with the money, I located a better, caring oral surgeon, yet Dr. Noori refused to send him my mouth CAT Scan unless I paid an upfront fee of several hundred dollars. Obviously, he cares more about money than patients in medical need and views the Hippocratic Oath as a pay for service. Be better safe rather than sorry. Find another qualified oral surgeon."
