What we see most in Colorado

Altitude and dry air change everything.

Three patterns we treat constantly across the state, from Front Range city dwellers to ski-town locals.

Altitude & dehydration

Higher elevation = drier mucous membranes + less perceived thirst. UTIs and sinus infections spike here.

UTI · sinus pressure

Wildfire smoke

Late-summer smoke drifts into the Front Range and irritates airways. Bronchitis flares up early.

Bronchitis · sinus · cough

Mountain weekend warriors

Ski-trip lacerations and minor skin infections happen far from a clinic. We can start antibiotics by text while you drive home.

Why Telemedicine in Colorado

Y'all live at altitude. Healthcare shouldn't require more climbing.

Here's the deal with Colorado, y'all have some of the most beautiful scenery in the country, but that comes with a trade-off. Mountain communities like Vail, Breckenridge, and Telluride are sometimes an hour or more from the nearest clinic. And when you're dealing with a sinus infection (altitude makes those SO much worse, by the way), the last thing you want to do is drive down I-70 in traffic.

Even in the Front Range, Denver, Colorado Springs, Boulder, getting seen can take days. Urgent care wait times are brutal, and without the runaround, you're looking at $200+ before they even hand you a prescription.

That's where I come in. I'm Chris, a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner licensed in Colorado. You text me your symptoms, I figure out what's going on, and if you need medication, I send it straight to your local King Soopers, Walgreens, or wherever's convenient. The whole thing costs $59. That's it.

I've treated a lot of Colorado patients, ski instructors with ear infections, college students in Boulder with UTIs, folks in Aurora working two jobs who can't take a day off to sit in a waiting room. Telemedicine just makes sense here.

What We Treat

Common stuff I treat for Colorado patients
