"I refer patients for reliable health care information when I don’t have the time to do research for them. I’m very happy with the Grillo Health Information Center services." – Hillary L. Browne, MD,FACP,PC – Spruce Street Internal Medicine
"We are fortunate to have in Boulder the Grillo Health Information Center as a resource for our patients. Often, healthcare providers have neither the time nor resources to answer the myriad questions that arise when a patient has a health related issue. The Grillo Center is a great place we can direct our patients to. Patients will get reliable, evidence-based information they need to be a better participant in their health care decisions." – Paul Lewis, MD, Chief Medical Officer, Boulder Community Hospital
