It’s all about the patient. I treat my patients like I want my family to be treated. For 30 years I have enjoyed helping patients feel better and find it to be very rewarding.

Why UCHealth? Medical Center of the Rockies has an outstanding group of cardiothoracic surgeons who have built a program with a bright future.

Why I got in this profession? I’ve always been interested in cardiac physiology. It is fascinating to me.

Hobbies: I like doing all things outdoors, like fly-fishing or hiking.

Family: Dr. Cummings is married and has grown children.
