Amanda Stephens, MD, is a pulmonologist at National Jewish Health. Dr. Stephens is in the Division of Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine.
Special Interests
My clinical interest is providing the best possible care for patients with pulmonary disease and critical illness. In addition to identifying and treating the causes of shortness of breath, I am interested in providing multidisciplinary and integrative treatment for the symptom of breathlessness in the outpatient setting. In the inpatient and intensive care settings, I strive to offer as many state of the art interventions as possible along with helping patients and families to determine how we can use these therapies in a way that aligns with their values and goals.
