About Us
The Denver Internal Medicine Group is a clinic that strives to deliver the highest quality of care to our patients. We provide acute illness intervention, chronic disease management, and prevention-based counseling and screening.A Brief History About our Clinic
Our group had its beginnings in the 1940s when, following World War II, the concept of several physicians working together and sharing their experiences and knowledge began to emerge. At present, we have eight physicians in our group, all Board Certified in the broad field of general internal medicine, as well as having special expertise in the fields of endocrine diseases and diabetes, wound care, cardiovascular diseases and women's health.Our postgraduate training includes institutions as near as the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center and as distant as Karl-Eberhardt University of Tubingen, Germany. We are all actively involved in teaching responsibilities of interns and residents at Presbyterian/St. Luke’s Medical Center, and some physicians hold clinical teaching positions at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center.
Services we Provide
Primarily, we provide continuing medical care from adolescents to the elderly population, including the geriatric nursing home patient. The majority of our patients live in the greater Denver metropolitan area, but we also provide care for patients from the surrounding states of Kansas, Nebraska and Wyoming. In addition to our regularly scheduled office hours, at least one of our physicians is on call and available every night, weekend and holiday. As a convenience to our patients and to expedite results, we maintain an electrocardiograph and X-ray facilities in our office and also use electronic medical records. Our clinic is conveniently located in central Denver and we provide two handicapped and seven designated free parking spaces under the building for our patients. Although a group practice, we stress an individual, one-on-one unhurried approach to health care.When experiencing illness, please call our office telephone number to schedule an appointment or speak to one of us for advice. If circumstances make this impractical, or in case of an emergency, we suggest that you call a private ambulance company, preferably one based in your general area, and ask to be taken to the emergency room at either downtown Presbyterian/St. Luke’s Medical Center or Exempla St. Joseph’s Hospital. In extremely critical situations, calling 911 is another option. However, it is important to realize that should you call 911, there will be a possibility that regardless of your request, you will be taken to another hospital with which we are not affiliated.
We have traditionally been strong advocates of preventive medicine and maintenance of wellness. In our opinion this includes regular exercise, weight control, sensible dietary balance, avoidance of cigarette smoking, moderation in alcohol use, and periodic physical examinations with appropriate laboratory tests to monitor suspected risk factors or uncover otherwise asymptomatic and unsuspected disease conditions. We have all seen frequent examples where discovery and early treatment of an otherwise unsuspected disease has had a significant effect on the course of a patient's life. Please remember that periodic visits with the physician are also an opportune time to review and promote a healthy lifestyle.
