I found Dr. Sergew to be arrogant, combative, and unwilling to engage in appropriate research or communication about a very complicated medical condition into which she was supposed to lead a thorough investigation. Based on the superb care National Jewish Health had provided for my husband some years ago, he and I made a grueling and costly journey from NY to Denver for an expert, multidisciplinary consultation, but had the misfortune to be assigned to the astonishingly unhelpful Dr. Sergew as the coordinating physician. (One small example: I had fallen two days before arrival in Denver and possibly broken my nose, and Dr. Sergew, a pulmonologist who was then undertaking a test on one of my nostrils, flatly refused to investigate whether my nose was in fact broken.) 

I cannot assess Dr. Sergew's body of knowledge because she did not deign to share it with me or with my husband, who is a professor of medicine. I consider her one of the most unprofessional physicians I have ever met, and deeply resent the hardships required to make a long journey to consult with her.
