I've had a primary care physician in Denver that I have been pleased with for years, but he is abroad on sabbatical and is not really convenient to Boulder.

Does anyone have a boulder-area primary-care type physician that they particularly like, and somewhat fits the bill (below)?

Please feel free to PM me, if you prefer.

Cheers!

Dr. Lawrence Granston. CU Medical Center on Broadway near Baseline. He qualifies for and does the Hawaiian Ironman every year, Boston Marathon and all that. A young dude too. Very Good!

I have some pretty considerable health problems and some of them can be pretty profound at times. Without going too far into detail, I went from doctor to doctor for a while before I settled in with Dr Bradley Fanestil at Avista Hospital, Louisville. He was able to successfully treat some problems I have that some specialists had failed to treat with any success, let alone diagnose in some cases.

Although he is not a superstar athlete (as far as I know), he does seem to "get it" when it comes to treating athletes. I.E., he was not surprised when I was climbing with a broken ankle and advised me on risks and mitigation instead of issuing the standard orders of "don't do that." He has given me some scripts upon my request for the "just in case" to control my condition for travel overseas or climbing trips. Naturally, these are fairly inoculous drugs and ones I have taken before...

In any case, I have been very satisfied with his office and the care I get there. If you are on the South side of Boulder, you may want to consider him as an option.

Not to hijack the thread (Sorry Avery)but. . .

Does anyone have a good dentist they would reccomend?? I've got a screaming toothache and saw one dentist but that place made me nervous.

Thanks!!

Dentist: Robert Hannagan...probably best dentist in town.

Dentist- well, I've had poor experiences with Micheal Addler, so I just switched dentists.

Hey Rich, I've got trick for tooth pain.

If the affected tooth has a metal filling in it, crumple up a chunk of aluminum foil and bite down on it as hard as you can. The effect is almost magical.

Thanks guys for the recommendations and NON-recommendations!!

I'll look into those guys and Mike, I don't have metal fillings but, that sounds like a bad joke!!
Kinda like touching your tongue to a 9V battery!!!

Thanks Tony and Hank -- I appreciate it. I talked to both offices, and it sounds like Dr. Fanestil doesn't have any openings until the 9th and Dr. Granston is out until the 4th. Given I'm having some jaw issues because of a bike wreck earlier this week -- I'm going to head down to Denver to meet with one of my Dr's associates; however, I will keep these Drs in mind for the next round.

Thanks!
Avery

Bump.

Any further recommendations, per what I listed above? These guys seem to be hard to get in with, or are out of town.
