Saved my life, doesn't get any better than that!His PA and medical staff are awesome too.The office staff "sucks" but that's not his problem.Dr. Trujillo clearly sets the gold standard for performance. Wish other medical providers were as professional.

Dr. Trujillo has charming bedside manner. His office is not reflective of what he puts forth. Phone calls not returned, either never or weeks later by support staff. Not able to reach office during an emergency. Given to voice mail and call not returned. One of the front desk people consistently grouchy. Lab work order not turned in when they said they would. Not sufficient follow-up. All in All, every time I have to deal with Rocky Mountain Cardiology, I brace myself for an unpleasant experience. The buck stops with the Doctors.

DURING MY TIME OF CRISIS, DR TRUJILLO WAS REASSURING AND VERY PROFESSIONAL. HIS BEDSIDE MANNER IS WONDERFUL AND I WOULD GLADLY RECOMMEND HIM TO MY FAMILY, FRIENDS,AND OTHERS. IN MY BOOK HE RATES 5 STARS.

What I appreciate more than anything is he hit the issue head on. You need to lose weight and then here is how to do it with the right diet. Don't know why more doctors don't tell the patient what they need to hear. He is only the second doctor ever to be direct, frank and honest. I so appreciate.

He was great is assessing what was going on with me, pinpointed all the issues, and was really straight with me about what I need to do. I felt he geniuenly cared about me as a person, not just a patient.
