Our local roots run deep. For over 70 years, GMA has been a trusted part of the Roaring Fork Valley, caring for generations of families who call this community home. While healthcare has changed in countless ways, our commitment to independent, patient-first care remains the same. By focusing on family medicine, dermatology, and physical therapy, we ensure you receive comprehensive, coordinated care that supports prevention, education, and lifelong wellness.
Today, healthcare can feel complicated – quick visits, multiple specialists, information scattered across different systems. Your GMA primary care provider brings it all together. We’re your first call for questions, big or small, helping you make sense of your health and guiding you to the right care at the right time.
Our doctors and providers know you, not just your chart. That means your care is grounded in understanding, continuity, and evidence-based medicine. And because GMA is independently owned, we can focus entirely on what matters most—helping you live your best life through care that’s comprehensive, coordinated, and compassionate.
At GMA, everything we do begins with you. Our leadership team—made up of the physicians who own and practice here alongside our dedicated Practice Administrator—focuses on making your healthcare experience personal, accessible, and centered on your needs. Because we’re locally owned and independently operated, every decision we make is guided by one priority: your health and well-being.

“Family medicine allows me to care for you at every stage of life, drawing on training across everything from pediatrics to cardiology to women’s health.

Every patient has a unique story, and my role is to listen carefully and help you make informed decisions that support your health.

“I believe understanding your health is just as important as treating it. With a background in teaching, I focus on helping you see the bigger picture—what’s happening now and how today’s decisions can support the life you want in the future. I value getting to know you and what matters most to you, because that guides the choices we make together around diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. My approach is shaped by personal experience as well. Watching my mother navigate breast cancer showed me how meaningful, compassionate, steady care can be when a physician truly partners with a patient.”

“Your skin reflects both your health and your lifestyle, and my goal is to help you care for it with confidence and clarity. I provide medical dermatology, and I believe patients should feel informed and comfortable taking an active role in their skin care. I encourage regular self–skin exams and want you to come in anytime you notice something new, changing, or simply want your skin to look and feel its best. Whether you need reassurance, treatment, or guidance on prevention, I’d much rather see you early and give you peace of mind than have you wait and worry.”
