"Jun 2024 Dr. Rufner performed an endoscopy and colonoscopy on me this month. I greatly appreciate his diligence in determining the cause of my symptoms and offering expert health recommendations. In my opinion, he's an awesome doctor. I feel confident trusting his diagnosis and course of treatment. He's thorough and takes time to explain his diagnosis and treatment options. He never gives me the rush-act. He's caring and compassionate. I highly recommend Dr. Rufner for your gastroenterology needs. Oct 2023 Dr Rufner is excellent! I love how he drew a picture of what was going on. He knew what the problem without ever physically examining me. This doctor really knows his stuff! He spoke quite authoritatively regarding my diagnoses and offered valuable explanation regarding his determination of what was causing my symptoms. I felt I could place my confidence in this physician because he was transparent as he offered knowledge about what was causing my symptoms. I felt better emotionally, mentally, and I began tfelling better physically after following his prescription. I highly, highly recommend Dr Kevin Rufner and his medical office. The office staff were excellent. I will definitely recommend this gastroenterology practice to my friends and family."
"Colonoscopy: If you need to have one, Dr Rufner in Lowry is the GI doc to see. Dr Rufner teams with experienced anesthesiologist and nurses. He was one of Dr Mallory, retired GI who taught gastroenterology at UC medical school to this generation of doctors. Would recommend using zinc oxide/ diaper rash ointment BEFORE drinking bowel prep. Takes 72 hours to rebuild your microbiome."

"excellent competent and friendly staff. from front desk, to Scott, the doctor and finally young lady doing scheduling were great. very efficient and well informed. highly recommend"

"Prep routine was the worst part - surflava tasted terrible and had a slimy texture - gag index was high - left me feeling queasy. Procedure was easy, check-in was efficient, all my concerns were addressed, and everything was fully explained. Some of the staff didn't seem to have much of a sense of humor. Being a repeat 'customer' I feel that the overall quality of the treatment has remained consistently high."
"Dr.Trouillot and his staff did an awesome job with my procedure."
"Dr Sieja reviewed my medical records, and after a thorough examination, he advised me to see a different GI with a unique skill set. He called the specialist and discussed my case with him.

"Procedure was professional. But even tho I followed the prep directions to a T, my system was not fully prepped for the colonoscopy. Therefore, the doctor couldn’t see much of my colon. I continued to have diarrhea for four more days. Also, the first nurse couldn’t insert one, and then two blood ports in my right hand, the second nurse installed a port successfully on my left hand on the first try. It was a difficult day, made more difficult by these near misses."

"Stomach issues are no joke, and I wanted to start this review off by saying that I've gone through six or seven years straight with severe abdominal pain, nausea, sickness, missing school, missing work, doctor appointments, pills, and various diagnoses that have not helped me at all. It's hard to find someone that can help. Then I found Dr. Brenner. When I went into the office for the first time, I was extremely nervous and had little hope for help. The staff was very sweet. But when I met Dr. Brenner for the first time, I was expecting her to be like all of the others. I can officially say that I am now in remission after seven years thanks to her. She examined my previous medical reports without bias and listened to me with understanding. She had told me that there was no proof I had any of the diseases that these other "doctors" were diagnosing me with, that I didn't need to take all kinds of pills, and gave me advice and tips on how to help myself with home remedies with whatever I may be going through (severe abdominal pain for example). I'm now thankfully taking one pill that for sure helps me, but is not required, and I can eat all kinds of food now that I've never been able to eat. Dr. Brenner is sweet, honest, and very caring with her work. I plan to go to see her for as long as I can."
"I just had my first consultation appointment with Dr Trouillot. What I found most valuable about him was his attentiveness, a great listener. Too many physicians are pressed for time and are challenged with allowing patients to explain their symptoms and history in detail. Dr Trouillot gave me the time to explain and I never felt rushed or dismissed."

"Dr. Trouillot is a very professional Dr who wants the best for his patients. He goes the extra lengths to know his patients, what there symptoms are so that they can be treated for the right symptoms. If you schedule a procedure with Dr. Trouillot he will double check and triple check what your procedure is and make sure you are there for the right reason. Also, Dr. Trouillot staff is very kind and professional as well. They ask you the (patients) questions so the Dr. already has an idea what you are coming in for. I would highly recommend Dr. Trouillot and staff to friends, family, and anyone looking to have a procedure done the correct way."

"I have been going to Dr Rufner since 2014 when my pancreas blew up. Dr Rufner has been my rock ever since and helped me walk through a very rough road of multiple ERCPs (over 12), stones and major surgery. I feel like I owe my health and life to him. He is extremely knowledgeable, kind, calming and you cannot do better than Dr Rufner!"
"Dr. Sieja & his medical team have gone above and beyond to meet my 48 year old concerns & recent health scare.

"I have had ulcerative colitis for about 20 years. I was diagnosed when I was in 4th grade. Over those two decades, I have had doctors who don’t take into account how I am doing. Just what my test results say. Dr. Rufner is not one of those doctors. Of course, he relies on test results, but he also values my own personal feelings a lot. He is also VERY up to date on the latest science and has some well-informed suggestions on how I can best manage my condition. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Rufner to anyone looking for help!"

"Doctor Rufner isn't just great he's amazing! Very thorough, derailed, took the time to explain things in great detail, didn't rush at all just simply amazing. You can tell he really cares and has compassion for me as a patient. I also noticed he was trying to take more of the natural approach of healing instead of expecting a medication to mask everything. I really wish all doctors now days were as organized and patient as he is. In this day in age it's very hard to find good care, I feel I have truly gotten extremely lucky"

"i felt that when I was there 2 yrs, ago I felt that Dr. S. was more patient and listened more.{perhaps he did not like the fact that I turned down the coloscopy.)

In a telehealth appointment today, we reviewed my past medical history, discussed a new diagnosis and her continuing role in my care with respect to the diagnosis, she developed a plan and goals for the next six months, ordered a new prescription for me and requested copies of some recent studies - all in short order. I have always found Dr. Brenner to be knowledgeable, honest and well-prepared. I am privileged to have been her patient for many years and will continue to be her patient as long as she will have me!!"
"I am very happy with the way dr Brenner treated my problems . It deserves 5 stars, but I just want to complain about their answering service. It is very difficult to call them , It happens many times that they don't answer the phone , they leave me on hold then it is disconnected and they never call back, I leave an urgent message with the answering service ( I was feeling very dizzy after taking a medication for my problem...) and they never call me back , So I had to call another doctor to reassure me and answer my question....... And so on.... It is a pity to have a very good Doctor with a very bad answering service. You cannot rely on it"

"Dr Rufner does his best to understand his clients needs and make a plan with their goals in mind. He looks to help to recommend for wellness considerations, not just diagnose the IBD and check in once a year. I have been very satisfied with the care that he has provided for my condition over the past 3+ years. My only wish was that the office staff was a little easier to reach by phone.

"I've been seeing gastroenterologists in various cities for the past 20 years. Dr Kevin Rufner is BY FAR the most informative, patient, kind, and knowledgable doctor I have worked with. He is a member of various advisory boards and study groups around the state and country and so is informed about the latest clinical studies, and he is always willing to take as much time as I need to explain my current health status, his recommendations and reasoning behind them, and address any concerns or questions I have. I have never felt rushed or confused, and even when the news isn't great I leave his office feeling empowered about next steps. I cannot stress enough how much I have preferred working with him over any other GI I've seen. I used to leave my doc's office in tears so frequently because of feeling confused and scared about what I was going through, that I started taking a full day off work whenever I had an appointment, regardless of appointment time. This pattern ended when I started seeing Dr Rufner. I have also never posted a review for a doctor before because I've never had an experience worth sharing until now. I've recommended Dr Rufner to a number of friends and colleagues. I'd also like to point out that every staff member I've encountered at the Colorado GI Ogden Street location has been patient, friendly, helpful, and easy to work with. They've also contributed to my general feelings of ease whenever I need to visit the office."

I highly recommend him. With that being said, the supportive staff leaves much to be desired.

He has been the only physician who didn’t quickly dismiss my digestive issues as IBS and truly explored deeper which paid off. He listens and takes his time to respond and explain. You will never feel rushed. In the past I’ve had issues with inept administrative and assistant staff but so glad to have NeeNee as the face of this practice.

I was able to really talk to him and tell him everything and he listened really well and explained in detail what I needed to be educated on and the procedures we would be doing together to find answers to get to recovery.

"So I'm not a patient of his, but my boyfriend is. So far he has been the only doctor to take his llness seriously. My boyfriend has gastroparesis and it has been a rough couple of years, but we've been lucky to have come across Dr. Rufner. The approaches he is taking have helped us find out so much in such a small amount of time, much faster than his past doctors have performed. Would recommend him over and over."

"I have been a patient of Dr. Ruffner for a few months. He was 1/2 hour late for my last appointment ( mix-up of files?), but he did spent a lot of time with me.

He is very attentive to your concerns, and always explains his treatment decisions thoroughly. Every time I leave his office I feel confident that we have made the right decision for me and my treatment plan. Thank you Dr. Rufner!"
"I have been a patient of Dr Brenner for approximately 10 years. I have personally referred many of my own patients and colleagues to her.

"Dr, Rufner talked through actions steps for my stomach issues and helped rule out illnesses based on my history. He was helpful and informative, however the appointment was extremely rushed. I wasn’t able to get all my questions answered and he rushed through explanations of the recommendations he was providing. I hope to continue with Dr. Rufner over the coming months and then I’ll be able to give a more accurate description of his care."
"Kevin Rufner is the 3rd GI doctor I have gone to and the only one who has sat down and actually listened to the issues I had and helped me understand them. Definitely recommended."
"Dr Brenner takes the time to truly listen to you to figure out the root causes of your concerns. One of the most personal doctors I've seen"
"Dr. Rufner is awesome. In less than 30 minutes he explained to me about my multiple health problems and what could be causing them. Been waiting 20 years for some of the news i got today. He is very compassionate, makes sure i understood everything and he has a great caring personality"
"Amazing! They actually answer their phone. They actually make an appointment when they answer the phone. How is it they can do that? No one else in gastro does that. "Sarcasm." They took very good care of us totally worth the drive from the Springs where no one answers their phone or website requests for appointments. I hope they stay amazing but sick people need to know they can find care for gastro issues without the hassle. Stay amazing and be blessed!"
"I went to see Dr. Rufner today, and the overall experience was fantastic. The receptionist was very courteous and friendly. I only waited a few minutes, and then was called into the medical exam room. When Dr. Rufner arrived, he took the time to listen, and then evaluate an appropriate course of action. He was extremely knowledgeable in his field, and at the same time he communicates in a manner where you can fully understand the theory behind his recommendations. Great doctor, and great human being."
"If it matters, I had a good experience. My procedure was painless, I feel good the next day without any adverse effects. They even called the next day to make sure I still have a pulse. Never hard to get them on the phone and everything was spelled out nicely. I recommend."
"In August I had a colonoscopy with Dr. Rufner at the Golden location, and a few weeks later, my husband had his done in Denver. Dr. Rufner is the best in every way you want a doctor to be. He explains EVERYTHING and spends as much time as you need. I guess that's called a good bedside manner. Additionally, the folks that work on his team are fantastic. The receptionist immediately greets you with a big smile and makes you feel welcome. Then, the nursing staff takes over and they couldn't be any nicer and did I mention how efficient, professional and kind they all were? Anyway, I can't say enough positive about these folks and want to thank everyone at Colorado Gastroenterology for making a difficult procedure almost enjoyable."
"I have spent plenty of time in doctor's offices and hospitals and unfortunately am only 30. I have genetics that make me very prone to colon cancer, so I met with Dr. Frank and had a colonoscopy done as a result. They found a polyp, removed it and I have a plan moving forward. Overall, with Dr. Frank and everyone in the office, they were extremely pleasant all the way over to the Denver Endoscopy Center. I have had terrible experiences and this was the complete opposite. I had also called another local gastro group and received a different experience. Regarding the poor review below about insurance and costs. I can't remember her name, but a representative of the office reached out to me about my insurance, clearly explained costs, potential for payment options, etc. Since I am young, my insurance didn't off the bat consider this preventative. I had genetic testing done and she was able to detail what I needed to do with the insurance company to get it to be preventative. She even allowed me to merge a call with her and my insurance provider. Couldn't have been happier. Thank you."
"Very nice visit with Dr Rufner."
"Dr Brenner is the BEST--very well qualified as a gastroenterologist. Her bedside manner is so caring and an excellent listener who provides the best care possible--IBS seems to be the "in" disease and she is most sympathetic in handling issues surrounding IBS and providing answers and remedies ""
