Summary

  • I have a diverse practice background, ranging from critical care to general internal medicine to geriatrics and hospice. I am currently a physician practice in Post-Acute/Long-Term Care with Rocky Mountain Senior Care, PC.

    I am on faculty of the two local medical schools, because I feel a sense of obligation to teach the next generation of physicians as others gave of themselves to teach me. I am on the faculty at Rocky Vista University, College of Osteopathic Medicine and at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.

    I have a strong conviction that role of the physician is unique and we are specially educated to serve our patients as leaders of the healthcare system; the relationship we have with our patients is the reason that most of us became physicians in the first place. The physician patient relationship is supreme and its sanctity must be preserved and held in highest regard. I have shared that opinion through numerous media outlets locally and nationally.
