20 Best Physician Assistant Programs In Colorado Springs, CO (2022 Updated)

Before intellitec i had no clue what i wanted to do with my future. I was kind of just floating around not taking anything seriously. Then when i found my passion for the medical field i had a really hard time figuring out where to start. Intellitec gave me and opportunity of a lifetime. Not only did this experience teach me to adapt to unfamiliar circumstances, it showed me that even when u think there isn’t a way, there always is. Along my journey at intellitec i met some of the most warm hearted people who have nothing but your best interests in mind. Mr. Roby, one of the instructors, creates a comfortable atmosphere that keeps his students engaged. Miss Davis, former student and now instructor, has zero issue with breaking a subject down one step at a time at a pace you are comfortable with. Mr. Thorn, our lab instructor, is very informative and allows u to branch off so that you can become more familiar with the craft. Last but not least, Miss Lo, intellitec’s instructor and extern coordinator, is someone you can ALWAYS go to no matter the problem. She’s not only your shoulder to cry on when you need one but she’s also someone with the most remarkable networking skills. Miss Lo. got me an interview for a job outside of school in ONE 5 MINUTE PHONE CALL and because of her i am now currently employed at the location i externed at. Her number is definitely one you should have. Overall Intellitec has done nothing but provide me with a second family. Anyone who is interested shouldn’t hesitate a second ! *the photo is my new family at the QwikCareMd office*ANGEL AVINA

I just wanted to give a positive shout out to the teacher of CCR:100. Until recently, I didn't know how this psychology class would be applicable to the real world. Rest assured, it is. I won't mention the name of the restaurant, but there is currently a GM that has enjoys screaming at employees in front of customers, all day. You are rushed through training and at times purposely trained wrong. With this class I was able to professionally express to the GM how this coercive behavior is not okay to do in front of a customer. I was able to point out flaws in management skills professionally, which in the long run has saved my record. The GM used nothing but unprofessionalism and excuses throughout each email proving strong signs of weak leadership skills. These emails include insults and calling me a liar. there was no professionalism, whatsoever. This particular class gives students the strength, courage, and applicable skills to improve the workplace, to find the right work environment, and essentially teaches you a form of management that is a business psychology applicable when you need it most. Thanks Mr. GRonald Lucier

Current HVAC student and very pleased with my education so far. The teachers care about not only my education but my goals and path moving forward. I was having a tough time getting employers to notice me and take my resume seriously. Until I asked Rob Gleghorn, the Career Services Manager, for help that is. He helped me sort out my resume, going above and beyond to make sure it was the best version I could present. I started getting calls from employers the next day. I instantly went from hoping to land an interview to trying to figure out how to choose from the best option. I feel IntelliTec is more than just a school, it's a career builder. The teachers are knowledgeable in their field and always willing to spend extra time going over subject matter that I have questions about. The faculty members have a way of making me feel proud of my direction and accomplishments.Geoff Brown

We just did a visit and we are very disappointed! Our daughter would have been a transfer student and she spent a lot of time & energy reaching out to Fort Lewis and talking with them. She was accepted & she has phenomenal grades! When we got there & she met Kayla, Kayla didn’t even remember her. The tour was very informal, with a huge group (we had toured many colleges), they showed us their worst dorms, they took us in 1 classroom, and mostly ran us through the tour. They didn’t even offer lunch (which is very important). My daughter had put down that she wanted to meet with some professors and financial aid and at the end of the tour Kayla just told everyone, “Okay, thank you for coming”! Our daughter told her she had meetings with financial aid & to meet with some professors… Kayla & Shelby had no idea what she was talking about! Shelby gave her the name, number & an email of a professor instead of having that professor reach out to our daughter. Obviously they aren’t in need of students! They just pushed their beautiful campus & all of the outdoor activities they offer, instead of their academics! So if all you want is a school with a lot of fun things to do & in a tourist town this is for you!Debi Laib

The facilities are poor and the dorms are even worse. The technology at FLC is terrible, the computers rarely work, and good luck finding good WiFi. The professors are really nice though, but the some of the students didn't seem to care much about their education. The professors really try to help their students succeed though. Oh, they also lied about having my major 2 months into my education there. They told me they no longer offered my major, despite the fact that when I registered for classes, my advisor told me everything about my major there. Never said a thing about it no longer being offered there. Luckily I got my money back and went to a way better school. So, please do yourself a favor and do NOT apply here. A lot of my friends had the same thing happen to them on this campus. I am a lot happier and am doing great at my current university with a 4.0, a university which, by the way, has my major and has not lied to my face once in the 3.5 years I have attended.Kassidy Dunnigan

I graduated in 2011 and Fort Lewis was amazing. I studied geology (but most of my roommates and friends studied business). The professors were exceptional. They loved their respective field, gave relentless effort and tolerated immature undergrads with grace and enthusiasm. Durango is a super safe and fun mountain town. I was able to intern in my field at several places within the region and select a career path that suited my interests. We took loads of field trips all over the southwest. I can not imagine my life without those 4 blissful years.Justin Griffin

Terrible school. They charge you an absurd amount for supplies after you've paid for classes and do not disclose it will be a charged item (Or that you will be kicked out of the class and your seat given to another person if you do not pay. You know, the class you already paid for and got in?). Not only that, this is a second job for most teachers, so good luck finding one that actually has enough energy or fs to give to teach a night or afternoon classes. Dont forget that they like to cut class lengths in half (Semester to a quarter), double the amount of time in class (from 2-4 hours), not inform anyone in the class of this AND move the location of where the class is supposed to be last minute to another campus. Oh! And let's stack on more homework than a someone taking a doctorate because the teachers figured that using an online program will make it so they only need to sit around, and they dont care enough to have the class there for the entire 4 hours. DO NOT GO HERE. GO LITERALLY TO ANY OTHER SCHOOL IN THE STATE KIDS. It's a bigger cash grab than a pyramid scheme. Only reason youd ever take a CMC class is for an AP Highschool class. I cannot stress that youd have more fun waisting your money on yourself over this absolute joke of a school.Carlton Phelps

This is my second semester at CMC. I really love the teachers and the price!! I would recommend anyone to attend here, especially if you are an in-district student. It's very affordable! I have found the teachers to be amazing. All of my teachers have been very engaging and interested in helping me succeed in my career goals. I would say there is only one downside that I have encountered and that is lack of flexibility in scheduling. I needed very specific classes, and they all seemed to be scheduled on top of each other. This led me to a stretched out schedule and lots of miles traveled (& wasted time) to other campuses to get in the classes I need. But I made it work and for the price and amazing professors, I am very happy that I was able to make it work. CMC has been great!!Amy Kovach

I had some guy named Ian text me. He started off by saying hi. All I wanted was information on the nursing program. Then he asked if I did the financial aide, then he said " we cannot go forward if they didn't have my financial aide information and if I had a high school diploma. All I wanted was information about the nursing program, why would I give him all that information? He kept pressuring me. So, finally I said to him, I will not ho forward until I get information about the nursing program. I have applications pending at other nursing schools. And accepted to one. That guy is a weirdo and tries to get people to send over their financial aide.Jovanna Thomas

I'm a busy mom, worked full time until recently and have been working towards my Bach. Psychology with a minor in Spiritual Leadership. I've enjoyed every moment of my degree. The counselors have been phenomenal and the student financial aid department is both nice and helpful every time I've had to contact them. This isn't a slacker school. The courses are demanding and the knowledge you obtain is real. I love the flexibility online classes offers as I have two young boys at home and a full time job to keep up with. My experience here has deepen my faith and my confidence. I'm excited to say I'm CCU alumni class of 2017.Christina Haskell

I absolutely loved going to school here. I have made so many life long friendships and even met my husband here! Not only that, but I am friends with the professors here and still keep in touch with them. They have a fantastic missions department where students can lead trips across the world to share the Gospel. The campus looks nothing like what it did when I first started going there but it’s exciting to go back and see all the changes and upgrades they have. Ccu has a fantastic location right between the city of Denver and the mountains. There is always something exciting to do! I would definitely recommend it to anyone!Katie Fiola Jones

Pros: I like Colorado College, and the block plan and small intimate class size really intrigued me into coming here, even though I'm not a native Coloradan. It's definitely a great location if you love the outdoors and a good four seasons of weather. Those are the main reasons I chose this school. I quickly learned that I could fit in here! Additionally, I love CC's approaches to learning such as their sustainability agreement and anti racist approach. They're even starting to pick up on mental health which everyone can agree is very important nowadays. The block plan is a great way to learn content, especially if balancing multiple semester classes at once doesn't seem desirable to you. If that is the case, consider this school, since there's only about less than 10 schools on the Block Plan. Overall, I'd give CC as a whole 5 out of 5 stars, and I hope you consider attending! It's truly a hidden gem school in the heart of the Rockies!Hunter Markowich

I don’t have 1 bad thing to say about Colorado College. When I visited here a year ago, the staff and students were very helpful and kind. While wandering around the campus, I had numerous people ask if I needed anything or help me find different places. The buildings and sights are great. I would definitely recommend this school.Expl0r

Beautiful area to walk through and enjoy the trees and the grass. be aware that they are currently requiring masks anywhere on campus so even walking around outside you'll need a mask. It's their private property so they can do what they want. It's a small sacrifice to make though to enjoy the space.Josh West

The school is by far the worst I've ever been to. Started off fall of 2021 with accomodation for disability. My FAFSA was submitted incorrectly edited twice by the admin, one who had not a clue what was going on, my advisor starting off was late for appts and didn't even tell me the half of how to do anything on campus much less how to get around on the website, he assumed many things that I knew as well. Come time to start the semester and only 1 professor of 4 submits books to the library and the library doesn't have all of them. So I order them and by the time week 4 starts everything is just getting settled. Fast forward to spring, once again no submissions of text books by any professors. Due to my disability accomodations, I'm supposed to submit receipts for my books 4-6weeks out, hard to do this when professors aren't submitting. Had a death in the family and then covid twice and was told the same thing every other student was told and the office of the president told me to go back to the dsrc and to get new accomodations. These accomodations were originally set by the dsrc and were determined to be reasonable. This administration is clearly not equipped to handle most things and offers no recourse for students. Along with this CSU-Pueblo supports the discrimination of disabled students and even allows it within the Hassan School of Business. If you can, attend another school near Pueblo like UCCS, etc..Timothy Fleenor

Graduated from this college in 2016. Program was not an issue at the time and professors ranged from good to decent. However, cost was outrageous. I paid out of state tuition even though I had a Colorado physical address due to living with a parent, but my license was out of state. So I paid double cause of my driver's license. And like one reviewer has stated, degree does not equal experience; so no one will hire me in my career field because I have zero experience in the field, despite meeting the degree qualifications…. even for entry level positions. Waste of money. Don't attend college, get the experience in your career path first. You'll get farther than spending thousands on book knowledge you can learn on your own.Katie

Very rude staff members. I'm still new at school and when I ask could I use the library was told I wasn't allowed because I was only enrolled into 9 credit hrs. Then dealing with Teresa from the bookstore very rude. I bought brand new books for almost $500 and was told they only would offer me $30 for my $253 book that they resale at $190 used. When asking questions she got real rude and belittling making me feel stupid because I wanted to ask questions. This school has not made it easy still being a fresh student who has no idea how this works. Very rude and misleading!!!!!! Wish i could cancel every penny I spent and transfer!!! I will not be spending anymore money at this school and will transfer next semester!!!!!!!Jason Clark

I loved this college, compared to a university I saved a TON of money, and I have had nothing but amazing experiences with staff and faculty. They went above and beyond to help me and make sure that I was taking the correct classes for what I wanted to do and that all my credits would transfer. The professors are dedicated to helping the students that want to be helped, just like any school there are the students who don't care and don't put in the effort. It is your money so you are responsible for showing up and doing the work, but as long as you do your professors will be there to help. The campus is also pretty and well maintained.Sarah Reinick

I went to college here for welding and i have to say it was the best schooling experience i have ever had in my life the teachers actually care and are real. They really want to help you and make sure you achive. My welding instructor is a great man and i Larned alot from him. Pls as a place you are curious about having your child attend i recommend it highly.Hayden Jungemann (Iron Tank)

Good little community college. Attended myself and currently have a daughter there. Financial aid was easy to apply for and they explain everything fairly well. Class sizes were ok and instructors were laid back. Maybe a little too much! Lots of parking and a well laid out campus with constant police presence.Kerry Dougherty

I LOVE LOVE LOVE working at Pima in COS! After 30 years in general practice, I am so happy to share my experiences and make new memories with the students and staff. The students are so amazing that I get sad when then leave! Many of them keep in touch and visit when they are nearby or in town. People that I meet in the veterinary field (and the human medical field for that matter) are excited to tell me all about the incredibly talented Vet Techs and Vet Assistant students that have landed at their location after attending Pima. They are asking me to KEEP THEM COMING!! The leadership is supportive and approachable. They make a great effort to celebrate and show appreciation for the students and the instructors throughout the year. A shout out during a staff meeting means a lot to those of us that are teaching every day! We are proud to be celebrating Pima Medical Instutitute's 50Th anniversary and kudos to the really popular, soft and comfortable 50th anniversary t-shirts. . .my evening students wear them EVERY casual Thursday night! Finally, when you work with a team that loves coming to work, everyone is supportive and willing to help each other. We always push each other to do better and make the learning environment fun to build a community. Shout out to all my students. . .love you guys and come by to say hello and let me know how you are doing!!!! Keep sharing your awesome stories and experiences with me. . .they make my day!Dr Mary Carr

I've spent a year and a half at Pima in the veterinary assistant and technician programs and I love it! The instructors are amazing and they do everything they can to help you succeed. I've gotten to work with animals I never thought I would go near and I've gained so much confidence from my experiences. I'm going to be sad when it ends but I'm thankful for the accelerated curriculum that fits my schedule.Aleska Oleksuk

I really enjoy coming to Pima! I genuinely felt like my life didn’t have a plan before. Now that I am on the Pharmacy Technician program, I feel like I have a sense of purpose again. The staff here is amazing, and Jenn really helped me in the enrollment process to get started as soon as possible. Ms.J is a great teacher!! I definitely recommend coming here if you’re trying to change your life.Rosalia Estanislao

I have experienced numerous hospitals in the last 71 years as a patient and private caregiver. My husband had surgery at Penrose in January of 2022. I have NEVER seen this kind of professionalism, expertise, and most of all the friendliness and helpfulness exuded by ALL of the staff! The procedures and technology were up to date and in use. People knew what they were doing and highly skilled. This results in patients being more comfortable and "at ease". Thanks for "genuinely caring" about the patients in your trust. I award all with an A #1 rating and 6 stars!Rosalie Ricci Gysel

I don’t know which part was my favorite: being treated as a prisoner, being given a diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenic without ever having heard voices in 38 years, not having the diagnosis discussed with me in any way: or not being told in my 6 days at the hospital that I more likely than not have cancer. I had to find out from a family doctor later on who was incredibly surprised to be the one breaking the news to me. Avoid Penrose at all costs, who defrauded Medicaid for likely tens of thousands of dollars by keeping me imprisoned for so long.Ryan Dyer

Our family's experience… My elderly mom has been in and out of this facility several times recently. On each occasion she was left to languish in her bed, becoming weaker and weaker each day. Following one visit, she couldn't even sit up in a chair. We asked everyone we could to please walk her, so she could return home safely. We were met with inaction, excuses and indifference. She was in some ways, worse off than when she was admitted. If they are short staffed, it's because they just made sweeping layoffs!Becky Bennett

Last year, Beneficent helped our family navigate the path to Medicaid in order to get long-term care for my stepmother. She'd taken ill rather suddenly and was diagnosed with advanced cancer. Her tumor ruptured her intestines and she ended up needing emergency surgery, which left her with a difficult-to-care-for ileostomy, significant wound care, and a feeding tube, on top of some intensive chemotherapy. After a month in and out of the ICU at the hospital followed by a few more months at a rehab center, her condition was still more than our family could handle at home, but insurance would no longer pay for her to be at the hospital or in a rehab facility. Melanie (at Beneficent) helped us to get Medicaid so we could get the long-term care we needed. It was a stressful period of time for us, and Beneficent helped us so much by easing the burden of sorting out all intricacies of getting set up with Medicaid. My dad has some cognitive issues that make dealing with this sort of thing more difficult and Melanie was incredible at communicating with him in a patient, friendly, and respectful way. She got us the care we needed, and we needed it fast. Beneficent made it happen in the time we needed it. My stepmother made a remarkable recovery and was able to return home after about three months of long-term care. Three months doesn't sound like a long time, right? But it accounts for tens of thousands of dollars worth of care. Beneficent saved us from what would have been a monumental financial burden. And if we'd needed longer care, it would have quickly become a bill in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Thank you, Melanie and the whole Beneficent team, for all your wonderful help and good work.Lisa Knapp

What a blessing it was to be told about Beneficent and their services by the Hospice social worker. Over the past few years, as I was taking care of my wife after she had suffered a hemorrhagic stroke, the subject of long term care was the topic of many conversations. I met with elder attorneys to discuss Colorado law regarding the qualifications for Medicaid Long Term Care and after hours and several hundred dollars later I still felt I was wandering in the wilderness. Hours spent in line at the office of Social services, only to make no progress. Always wondering, how am I going to get this done when the time comes to file the necessary paperwork (application) for Long Term Care. Well, I can only wish I would have known about Beneficent a few years ago. It took only one short, fifteen or twenty minute meeting with Stacey on the phone to know that they had all the answers I'd been looking for. Than after meeting with Nicole and other staff members in their office there was no doubt, life became a lot less complicated immediately. They had the knowledge, contacts and experience to maneuver through the regulatory process, without me having to do much of anything. My direct involvement with the county Health and Human Services Department was non existent. Which was fantastic for me. If the need should ever arise again I would not hesitate to solicit their services. I sincerely thank Nicole and Stacy for the great job they did, for my wife and I, over the past few weeks. Ron RRon Rybicki

We recommend Beneficent Highly. At first we were very new to this whole process and now I feel like we have learned so much. We could not have done it without Beneficent at our side. Their counselors are professional, thorough, thoughtful and courteous. We felt like we could be honest about our concerns and our family details, which made it easy for Beneficent to give us our options while showing transparency in the logic and maintaining confidentiality. The response to emails was outstanding, speak phone conversations when we needed to as a family get something clarified, and details on how to obtain or do something all the while limiting the frustration. We would not have found "Beneficent" if one person had not shared their recommendation with us. We would like to pass this recommendation forward to all those looking for senior living care. It never hurts to ask and to find out if this is an option for you. Thank you Beneficent for stepping up to help us during this life transition!Rovena Valek

DBH has been wonderful from the day I set up a consultation. I would (and do!) recommend this office to anyone in need of chiropractic care for multiple reasons. First, Everyone on staff is attentive, friendly, and seems to truly care about who I am not only as a patient but as a person. Next, the doctor and his staff simply know what they are doing! I have been going to DBH for the past several months to work on a variety of concerns. Throughout this time, I felt confident in the doctor's diagnosis, treatment plan, and other recommendations as I continued to see progress and find the relief I needed to live a more comfortable life and spend more quality time with my family free from pain. He has a knack for listening to and remembering everything going on with his patients that truly makes you feel as though you matter and provides a sense of hope that things will improve. Communication is also fantastic! I always know what we are working on and why! Finally, due to a busy work schedule it is imperative that I get in at a time that fits for me. I have never been turned down for an appointment time I have asked for and have never had to wait for my appointment to start more than a minute or two, even when I show up early. I wouldn't go anywhere else!Erika Johnson, PsyD

The team at DBH provides the best customer experience I have ever had before! They treat you like family, always remembering your name, making time for you, and just sharing life with you. Dr. Daniel is so amazing. He took the time to explain the treatment he recommend based on my FREE exam and x-rays. As someone who hates being touched, he has always made me feel comfortable getting treatment. He even makes great recommendations for out of the office pain management, Brayden, Katie, and Bailey are all helpful, attentive, and so personable. My neck and back symptoms have greatly improved and almost disappeared since starting treatment a few months ago. I would recommend these guys to everyone I could!Taylor Adelsperger

I'm so glad I found Dr. Daniel at DBH Chiropractic! I twisted my back somehow at work and it kept flaring up on me. He offers a great introductory special with X-rays and treatment. I have been able to pay with my FSA account and they will check your insurance for eligibility. I've had 4 or 5 treatments so far and feel like a million bucks when I leave his office. Dr. Daniel knows his stuff, listens to you, and is very soft-spoken/non-intimidating. Also, his assistant, Braden, is awesome! Even though I'm feeling better, due to the physical nature of my work, I will continue to see him every few weeks.Kevin Weber

I'd been holding back on writing a review for Dr. Mitchell and Gutwell Medical because I didn't want to sound overly dramatic with what I want to say. But today marks the one year anniversary of the day she changed my world and, I feel, also saved my life! I had been suffering with chronic intestinal issues all of my life, but my symptoms had been getting increasingly more painful and difficult to live with over the previous two years. My primary care physician had me going through blood tests, a colonoscope, ultrasound, and test after test would show there was nothing wrong with me. I was "healthy as a horse" as far as she could tell, and I was starting to feel like I must've been some kind of hypochondriac. All while the pain kept getting worse and making my life more miserable and difficult to get through each day. It was at that point, a little over one year ago, that I sought out Dr. Mitchell's help to help find what my PCP couldn't. During my first visit with Dr. Mitchell, she patiently listened to me describing all my woes and unresolved pains and she encouraged me to try some other tests, and particularly recommended I get a CT scan of my lower abdomen, which ended up being scheduled for Augst 27th, exactly one year go. The CT scan she urged me to take provided the answer to the question that my PCP had been had been unable to find during the two previous years. The scan showed a cellular mass surrounding my pancreas and the diagnosis was confirmed at a visit to the UC Health Anschutz Center in Denver just a week later. I was suffering from pancreatic cancer which had already metastasized to a couple of spots on my liver. Not the most desirable diagnosis, but at last I knew what was wrong with me, I was not a hypochondriac, and there was a way forward to do something about my pain! If I hadn't undergone the CT scan that day a year ago I don't know how much longer it would have taken to discover the cancer and what the impact on my life would have been. But because of Dr. Mitchell's recommendation we discovered the cancer and were able to come up with a treatment plan to fight it. And during this past year Dr. Mitchell has continued to help me fight the cancer, the side effects of the treatment, and help me feel better now, a year into my diagnosis, than I was feeling three years ago. I sincerely believe that if it hadn't been for her recommendation we wouldn't have discovered the cancer until it might have been too late for any successful intervention. As things stand today, the cancerous lesions on my liver have disappeared, the cancerous mass around my pancreas has shrunk by 50%, and the cancer markers in my blood have dropped from a high of over 660 last October to just 20.3 as of the latest blood test last week. I'm still alive and kicking today. I am hopeful that I have a chance to beat this cancer, and I couldn't be more grateful to Dr. Mitchell for continuing to help me to be here. My case may not be the kind of intestinal issue or issues you're dealing with, but I am happy to wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Mitchell to anyone looking for help.Thomas Falk

I have had stomach issues for most of my life. All of the doctors I have been to over the years simply called it IBS, which I learned was a "diagnosis of exclusion", meaning they can't come up with a definitive cause. I went the internal medicine route which led me to various specialists, but all to no avail. Later, I tried dieticians and functional medicine specialists, and still had no lasting relief for my symptoms. The functional docs and the dieticians tended to shy away from "traditional medicine" and didn't have medical degrees to order labs or prescribe things if needed. The MD's were highly trained in their specialties, but shied away from anything beyond their core competencies and were over reliant on pharmaceutical solutions. Everything changed when I was introduced to Dr. Sue Mitchell! She is the perfect blend of both types of medicine. As a practicing gastroenterologist for over 25 years, she has all of the tools and experience that come from the traditional side and as a practitioner of functional medicine, she has a broad view of Healthcare that allows her to think outside of the box. She thoroughly dug into my background and family history and sent off for multiple deep dive labs, testing everything from intolerances to deficiencies and more. She put me on an easy to follow, scientifically backed gut healing diet while we waited for results. After getting the labs back, we tweaked the diet and added a couple of natural supplements. Three months later, my stomach was symptom free and I could eat things that would have destroyed me earlier. The best thing is that it was all done naturally without a bunch of meds. I would highly recommend Sue to anyone with unresolved digestive issues. She is an absolute life saver!Greg Von berg

I’ve been seeing Dr. Sue Mitchell and her assistant, Ruby for six weeks. After six years of trying to find answers to my GI issues in the traditional way, Dr Mitchell addressed my condition with a comprehensive blood test to have science behind any program. With that she was able to streamline and personalize a path by which I could move forward. With supplements that heal the micro biome, I am well on my way to having those issues resolved. Not one to prescribe a pharmaceutical, she has ordered tests and scans to diagnose then treat my specific situation. During our times together she has given me clarity and wise counsel. I know that the investment in effort and resources will certainly lead me to a healthier life. I am deeply appreciative of her guidance.Barbara Fanning

Both Drs. Taves and Stoerzbach have a passion to help, are good listeners and most of all they know how to treat the root cause of migraines instead of looking to medications to only mask the symptoms. We need more clinics like theirs to employ the same approach in helping those with migraines. Bria is also very talented. I am amazed at her ability to listen and empathize. I live in Pennsylvania and she was always ready to change schedules in way that allowed me to have decent flight times in and out of Colorado Springs. Novera has not only made a drastic impact in my life, but also for my family (in having to live with me). I am in my 40's and have had migraines since I was 5 years old. The migraines have been chronic for about the last 15 years. I have seen countless health care professionals including having been to 3 headache specialists in Philadelphia and Chicago. I spend a week in a hospital in Chicago to try to get the migraines under control. I've tried physical therapy, chiropractic, TMJ specialist, ear nose throat specialist, pain management and nearly every prescription medication and injection that could be prescribed for migraines. None have been very helpful. I had migraines on a daily basis before coming to Novera. I was skeptical to try physical therapy again, but out of desperation for any help I could find I gave Novera a try. Having a migraine is now beginning to become a rare experience in only a short number of treatments even after stopping all the preventative medications I was taking.Timothy Wentz

I can't say enough positive things about Novera! From my first phone call with Bria, I felt comfortable and cared for. I traveled from another state to receive a week of daily treatments with Dr. Stoerzbach (4 days) and Dr. Taves (1 day). I felt a huge difference after one hour with Dr. Stoerzbach. Manual treatment is intense, but I felt like I was in good hands, literally and figuratively. Until I went to Novera, I endured judgment from healthcare providers about being a migraine sufferer. There was absolutely no judgment at Novera and it is clear that these PTs want to help you get well. I had a few headaches after returning home, but I've been headache free for about 5 weeks now! If you are considering working with Drs. Stoerzbach and Taves, I urge you to make an appointment. I give them my highest recommendation!Leah Forster Gauvin

I have suffered from migraines with aura for 16 years. I found Dr.Taves’ podcast last year and started listening regularly and applying it to my life. I was on vacation in Colorado in May and decided to make an appointment to be evaluated while in town. I am so glad I was able to go in person to be evaluated because it gave me great hope to get control of my life again. Prior to that I was starting to try prescription medication which I really did not want to do. I then began a virtual coaching package and started using the Sam device in addition to my other exercises and lifestyle changes and have significantly decreased the amount/severity of migraines. I am confident that if I am compliant I will continue to have good results. Thank you so much for your help!!!Melanie Johnson

The worst group of teachers & counselors I have ever experienced. When a student has trouble passing classes they take over and over and over…says something about those teachers. I only know of one person graduating in 5 years from this school. I do not recommend this school, it's a waste of time and money.Linda Sorenson

It's a difficult program and not for everyone. That being said I love the small class sizes and hands on learning that I have received. I appreciate how the whole staff including the financial aid department are available to help you succeed. I am so happy that I took the opportunity to get my education here.Ginger Pospisil

Terrible program, the cost is easily 4x more than anywhere else and the knowledge they offer is no more than a basic 6 week long course. They say that you can receive college credit at their program. That is a lie. If you are looking to be a vet tech I would stay clear of this "school"Mark Glass

I'd give none if I could. Idk how y'all sleep at night, really don't. Read the other comments about this scam and it absolutely applies to my situation. I feel dumb for falling for it. No adjustment first visit, first adjustment lasted not even 5 minutes, second adjustment was supposed to be 10-15 but literally was a minute long and left me in much worse pain than when I arrived. What are you doing there? Making people's pain worse so they rely on you? Or do you actually take care of the ones who dish out thousands of dollars? Oh and not to mention, and this should've been a HUGE red flag, one of your "doctors" stated to me that a patient (who I just saw, said hello to, sat in the waiting room with) has a brain injury and that he has difficulty understanding things. Dunno if y'all know that you aren't supposed to share that with people, but you're not. Anyway, I'll be finding a legitimate place to get taken care of. Gonna be extra mindful of the next one as well. (Initially posted this on the wrong one, but they're all garbage so whatever)Pyrodiction

After almost 6 weeks of pain and no/ misinformation/ answers from the ER or PCP, Trive Health Systems Chiropractor Dr Uthe was able to give my 19yr son some hope and relief with the first start of treatment to come and education they provided. As well as relieve some of my mommy stress of seeing my child in pain. The staff from walking in the door was super nice and made us feel welcome, even gave my 6yr old a sticker and something to color. Just after one visit he is able to move a little better. I look forward to his healing process with Thrive. Thank you all very much.Lisa Anderson

I've been dealing with chronic back pain for more than 3 years and Dr. Storm was able to help me so quickly. Within the first visit she was so quick to already have a few ideas with what was going on. It's been 2 weeks since coming here and this is the most relief I've felt in these years! I'm so thankful for thrive! I was seeing a chiropractor before going to thrive and they did nothing for me. But I've been here less than 2 weeks and have seen such a difference!! And also the receptionists and everyone else is so friendly! I'm thankful for them and for Dr. Storm!Mykinsay Rydalch

I would definitely recommend Cratos to anyone wanting to improve their health and well being. The ladies at the south clinic are amazing. Elizabeth is so patient and investigates what the best solution will be for me to take. Mindy and Tera offer suggestions to other products to help with some of the issues I have that may be beneficial. It was a fun to talk about what else I could do for my overall well being. “ A one stop health and beauty shop”😊Rachel Legg

The staff here are very welcoming and non-judgemental. Mindy even shared her weightloss story with me which really put me at ease. The staff are very knowledgeable about different treatments and will find the best one that works for you. Everything is a one stop shop, so it makes it super convenient. I would highly recommend if you have struggled with weightloss.Michelle Simonson

I love Cratos. I go to the South Location and they are always nice and friendly. Both locations have the same system so if one location is closed then the other location can look up your information.Lisa Mataipule

Dr. Knox is an amazing person and an even better doctor. Went in to have my deviated septum fixed. Before surgery, it looked like an issue I can live with but I still wanted to be fixed. After surgery, my wife was told it was pretty nasty in there due to a break probably from a long time ago. I've dealt with this problem for around 14 years. Right after surgery, normal after surgery moans groans and pains. When I got home, I had the normal discomfort after surgery and having a nose bandage (kinda looks like a nose diaper when soiled). The very next day, I still have intermittent slight draining from my nose, but not bad enough to where I need to bandage. The pain is surprisingly tolerable too. I have to give 5 stars, but that is only because of Dr.Knox and his immediate staff. I'll give an update once I've had more time to heal, but so far I am EXTREMELY HAPPY with how his performance is as a surgeon, a doctor, and as a caring person.Benjamin Hawkins

These people stood around chit chatting for an hour and half said the doctor went on lunch, he might might not return. My appointment was at 3pm still no update on whether I will be seen. I would not choose this place myself, this is a workers comp mandatory chosen facility. The receptionist are totally rude and unhelpful! The one in the photo was snarky, stuck up and short. Would not provide her real name to actually follow up with her supervisor. Asked multiple times when I would be seen all she said in her short rude response was, “I don’t know doctor is at lunch i don’t know if he’s coming back.” They we’re not short staffed I counted a handful of receptionist sharing conversations looking at one another phones and a doctor literally dancing around to the side as well. Completely unprofessional and RUDE!!! Find somewhere else.Ewelina Wszolczyk-Lipka

Wait times were quite long, but that's just par for the course nowadays ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ all the staff who helped me were wonderful, from the front desk all the way up. As I was checking in, they had to deal with an unreasonably hostile patient (dude took it hella personally that he was required to know & provide his own insurance information), staff remained uniformly calm and polite, props to them. The medical team were all knowledgeable and kind. Jennifer — who did my secondary intake once I got to an exam room — in particular made me feel comfortable and at home. I felt my concerns were listened to and considered thoroughly, and all in all visiting this office was a positive experience, despite the long wait times being rather draining on me personally.Nynaeve Mutch

Can't say enough good things. Doctor Sung is excellent & his bed side manners are pleasant. He has done both of my back surgeries. After one, I was off of pain medication in 2 weeks & 2 days. My other surgery, a neck fusion, made the pain in my neck, shoulders, arms, and hands pretty much dissapear. Now, I am facing another surgery & I can't wait because I want out of pain!! I referred a friend that had surgery with him; and as a massage therapist, several of my clients have had surgeries with Doctor Sung. Not one had anything bad to say. My last visit was awesome: Check in went pleasantly smooth, the person who took me back was gracious & X-rays were a snap, even she was really nice. I saw his PA Kelsi, she was very thorough & extremely knowledgeable. She was also caring, personable & down to earth. I actually shop my insurance around & to include certain doctors & Doctor Sung is one of them. Thank you for taking care of me for all these years, and for taking care of my referral & my clients. ** If you are tired of pain, do not put off surgery**Wendy Havens

I called Dr. Watson's office first thing in a morning, and they were able to fit me in his schedule for that afternoon. As soon as I filled out the paperwork, I was walked in, and on x-rays were done right the way. After the doctor examined my injury and we looked at the x-rays, he assured me that my injury was not as severe, which made me feel a lot better instantaneously. Sure enough, few days later I felt a lot better. There were no traces of the trauma or development of any complications just like Dr. Watson said. Very grateful and happy patient for the expertise!Raliza ilieva

I am a returning patient of Dr. James Bee. I returned because the first experience I had with him 16+ years ago proved to be so successful and recommendation-worthy. When I knew it was time for a second back surgery (the first procedure still had everything in place and was not the issue), I was so thankful Dr. Bee was still available (I knew he was because I had recommended him to others who had utilized him and also rendered their gratitude). My recent surgery was much more extensive but still allowed me to offer nothing but positive accolades for Dr. James Bee.Rebecca Johnson

Unprofessional. Billing department is a joke. STAY AWAY. SCAM. Went to emergency room over 2 years ago. They have all my personal information and insurance information. After over 2 years I received a printed letter for a collecting agency trying to colect some money from me! I mean, 2 and half year past. UChealth never tried to contact me over the phone (I provided 3 different number) neither a printed bill, printed communication either to my home or office address. Is that the way you guys try to make extra money? Billing my is insurance incorrectly then send the outstanding balance straight to a collection agency? You guys are ridiculous. Also, in the visit, which was related to a fracture in my ankle, the first “professional” was ready to take me to a surgery right away, when suddenly another orthopedic doctor stopped him and said I’m my case surgery was not recommended. Seriously. Unprofessional, non sense.Carlos Levinson

What a joke. The front desk staff was the best care I received over the few hours that I was there. I took myself in because I was having some intense pain that was unexplainable to me. The nurse had terrible bedside manners and I had to ask what she was doing multiple times. I explained my symptoms and she jumped right to covid. Long story short, they 100% missed something while jumping to covid, I felt unsafe and unheard. I was left alone for over 30 minutes while I was bawling in pain and the monitor was going off. I never received any sort of fluids, pain management, options for any of that or even a “I know something hurts, but you’ll be okay” …There will definitely be an official complaint.Morgin Harding

Lack of balanced approach to the the needs of your community. I was born and raised here and have watched the town grow exponentially since I was small. While it is beautiful and on one side is all about being active and healthy, on the flip side, steamboat also suffers from high rates of alcoholism, drug use, depression and suicide. I am truly disappointed to discover how ill equipped our hospital is to deal with mental health and substance abuse. We preach about loving our community yet we remain completely unprepared to appropriately care for and respond to the mental health needs of our community. Please YVMC, find a better balance between treating mind and body.Tariel Weekslynn

I haven't made an appointment nor do I plan to. Super shady, red flags popping up all over. A lot of fake reviews but it's those one star reviews that speak volumes about this business. I also mistrust a business who's number comes in as private instead of forthcoming on my voicemail. The message was not informative and professional but a chance to twist my arm with an ad for your business. You failed to answer my question, are your services covered by Medicaid. On a long winded and politician like ad, "Here are the services covered by insurance…" Followed by not a yes or no, but a huge ambiguous spiel that did not answer my question. I then read a review on Facebook that if you don't have Medicare, then Medicaid isn't covered. From reading between the really suspicious lines, you sell snake oil and BHRT. No thank you. If all I wanted was hormone replacement, I'd go to my actual physician, and not what sounds like a scam.Colorado Crone

This place and all these people are amazing . I would have to write a book to even begin to describe what a wonderful experience this has been . Angelo the office manager , Sandra who works on me, all the other desk people, Liz etc are the kindest most professional people you would ever hope to meet. I love coming here. There is no comparison to other similar places who claim to offer the same services. They don’t have the knowledge or the technology that this place does. No comparison. I will say more in future reviews. I have other errands to run and don’t know if there is a limit to the letters I can use. But believe me, this is a wonderful place. You will love it!Robin McCauley

Colorado Medical Solutions The People are so kind and helpful and very knowledgeable of their jobs. The Hormone replacement Therapy has cleared my head form the fog it was in, given me more energy and brought me back to my youth in so many ways. As I was in the Clinic, I seen a sign for melting 3 to 10 inches away in 3 weeks I ask about it and the next day I was in for my first session and right after it my whole body felt absolutely amazing! After my second session my friend (that I see once a week and does not know I’m doing this) said to me “it looks like you are losing weight are you?” I will recommend Colorado Medical Solutions to my family and friends.Tonya Carton
