Growing and

need growing and
developing care.
Kids’ bodies are constantly growing and changing. Which means that
everything from complex surgeries to simple procedures can have huge
implications for their development. Knowing how a baby’s lungs, a child’s
bones or a teenager’s mind needs to grow completely changes the care we
give them. That’s why when we treat kids, we do it with their developing
bodies in mind. So that when the kids in our care grow up to be adults,
they can be just as healthy as the day they walked out our doors.

Kids are incredibly different. They need incredibly different care.

DALIAH SINGER
Denver journalist Daliah
Singer thought she kept a
healthy house—until she
began writing “Detox Your
Home” (page 32). “I went
on a cleaning frenzy while
reporting this story, throwing
everything I could in the
washing machine,” Singer says.
She’s still working on a way to
rid her home of its grossest
resident: the kitchen sponge.
MICHAEL BYERS
Michael Byers strives to
produce “fun, dynamic, and
emotionally driven” work. So
while his illustration for “How
To Retire Well In Colorado”
(page 38) is a seemingly
straightforward collage of the
activities older residents can
experience here, Byers also
used a bit of creative license.
“For whimsy,” Byers says, “I
added a bear waving hello.”
HILARY MASELL OSWALD
It’s difficult to be optimistic
in the face of Colorado’s
dejecting behavioral health
care stats. That is, until you
meet the people striving to fix
those numbers, as writer Hilary
Masell Oswald did reporting
“On The Front Lines” (page 20):
“Smart people—clinicians,
legislators, administrators—are
working toward systemwide
changes to make access easier.”

Retiring
Right
W
e know, we know: It’s
never too early to start
thinking about retirement.
Honestly, though, besides
a few dollars disappearing
into our 401(k) accounts
each payday, we saw leaving behind
the 9-to-5 (“How To Retire Well
In Colorado,” page 38) as a distant
fantasy—some abstract destination.
As thirtysomethings, that made sense.
Then our parents joined the ranks of
the willingly unemployed.
Society typically views retirement as “The End”—the culmination of one’s usefulness to the greater
good. Thank you for your service. Please take this discounted movie ticket as a token of our appreciation. So
we watched our folks approach this milestone with a certain amount of trepidation. They had spent
decades building meaningful careers in offices and classrooms where they had been important, respected
contributors. As such, they could afford retirement. But would they be able to survive it? Obviously,
no one comes out the other side of their golden years intact (a fact we’d rather not think about). Plenty,
however, struggle to find purpose. Without co-workers—who provide the regular, brain-invigorating
interactions many of us take for granted—they could slide into mind-dulling social isolation. Worse, they
might start meddling in their children’s lives.
You’d think we’d know our own parents better by now.

Jess’ mom has taken to Colorado’s trails like a Labrador let loose from her leash. She fills her
daughter’s (and her daughter’s friends’ ) social media feeds with images of soaring peaks, golden aspens,
and curious bears and recently regaled the Thanksgiving table with a tale of her harrowing pursuit of
deer tracks through calf-deep Rocky Mountain snow. Spencer’s parents just returned from a three-
week road trip through the Southwest, where they hiked and explored Zion, Canyonlands, and Arches
national parks. At home, his dad divides his time between antique hunting and cutting the grass for a
women’s shelter, and his mom is suddenly a yogi. If they were more fulfilled when they were part of the
daily grind, they did a great job of hiding it.
That’s not to say the transition has been without hurdles. But they were all able to leap them (or at least
sidestep them gracefully) and discover more gratifying pastimes because they’ve maintained the physical
and mental fortitude to attempt most any pursuit. So while our parents weren’t actually sources for our
in-depth guide to staying fit during your elder years, their influence can be felt throughout the package.
They’re the ones who impressed upon us youngsters that, sure, nobody lives forever—but when it comes to
savoring all that the West’s get-up-and-go culture and alluring landscapes have to offer, good health is its
own fountain of youth.

When David Martin, an avid

ultramarathoner facing an
arduous recuperation from
surgery, heard about laser
therapy—aka photobio-
modulation—he thought it
sounded like “something out
of Star Trek.” Martin isn’t the
first to suggest that its sup-
posed pain-relief properties
are more science fiction than
fact. But a growing body of
evidence indicates that the
low-wavelength light both
stimulates tissue regeneration
(read: recovery) and tempo-
rarily disables pain receptors.
The latter finding has posi-
tioned photobiomodulation
as a promising nonaddictive
treatment for pain; earlier this
year, the federal government
issued a $2.7 million grant to
encourage nurses in West Vir-
ginia to promote the therapy
as an alternative to opioids.
For his part, Martin says the
laser eased his postsurgical
discomfort, and in June, he

facility’s three custom-made,

looking to heal or manage
pain, Martin suggests two to
three sessions, lasting five to
12 minutes each, per week.

It’s easy to chase adventure in
Colorado—until you’re stuck in the

A
s I found myself skidding face-first down
a blue run this past March, I was thinking
more about injuries to my pride than to my
body. But days after my shame from show-
boating—and then crossing my skis—had
faded, I still couldn’t move my left arm. My
sports medicine doctor believed I had ripped the supra-
spinatus muscle in my rotator cuff and wanted an MRI
done to confirm her diagnosis—the sooner, the better.
If I needed surgery, the outcome would be greatly im-
proved if we moved quickly.
I scheduled an MRI for the following week, but
the day before, the provider called to tell me the ap-
pointment had been canceled because my insurance
company had deemed it unnecessary; it wanted a less-
expensive X-ray first. I called to arrange the X-ray and
was told it would be easier if I came during walk-in
hours. I missed work to do so, only to be informed
that walk-in hours had been suspended. Would I care
to schedule an appointment? When I finally got the
X-ray, it was (surprise) inconclusive. So I got the MRI

dissolving in stomach acid.
If successful, the pill could
also drastically lower the
average cost of diabetes

CONVERSATION STARTER
This past August, UCHealth
introduced the world to
Alexa’s nerdy cousin, Livi.
An artificial-intelligence-
based virtual assistant,
Livi can be summoned on
an Amazon Echo by saying
“Alexa, ask UCHealth.”
Users can then pepper
her with commands like
Email me information on
Crohn’s disease or Find me
a neurologist, and Livi will
consult network sources
to locate the information.
UCHealth hopes to expand
Livi’s capabilities over
the next few years. This
fall, for example, she was
integrated into its electronic
medical record system
and mobile app so she can
check your test results and
appointment times.
GAME THEORY
In 2017, Children’s
Hospital Colorado
unveiled one of the
first full-time hospital
gaming and technology
departments in the world.
Patients with movement-
debilitating illnesses such
as cerebral palsy get the
much-needed, potentially
dexterity-improving activity
they require by donning
virtual reality and augmented
reality headsets and, for
example, exploring alien
planets. The diversions can
also make it easier for kids to
undergo difficult treatments:
The anxiety a child feels
before a lumbar puncture—
an injection of medicine
into her spinal fluid—might
be lessened if she can
confront the procedure while
wielding a lightsaber.
SNAKE VENOM SALESMAN
A professor at the
University of Northern
Colorado might have
finally found a way for
serpents to pay penance
for the whole exile-from-
Eden thing: Stephen
Mackessy’s Venom Analysis
Lab, which launched in
the mid-1990s, has shown
that toxins from some
venomous snakes are
capable of preventing
cancer cells from
metastasizing. The next
step (likely still years away)
is finding an application
method that would
weaponize compounds
in the venom against a
human’s cancer without
harming the human’s body.
GOOD GENES
Both Lutheran Medical
Center and Kaiser
Permanente are
early practitioners of
“pharmacogenomics”—
basically, how your DNA
affects your body’s
reactions to medicines. In
Lutheran’s pilot program,
primary care providers give
some patients the option of
a 20-second cheek swab.
Pharmacists and doctors
can use subsequent
genetic-testing reports to
provide recommendations,
such as lowering a dosage
because genetic traits
reveal your body might
absorb drugs faster or
suggesting you avoid a
particular medication.

On The Front Lines
How Colorado providers are bringing the fight—and hope—directly
to those caught up in the state’s dire behavioral health crisis.

P
sychologist Shandra Brown Levey stands in the
fluorescent glow of a doctor’s office hallway, just out-
side an exam room. She waits quietly but eagerly:
The man on the other side of the door struggles
with his mental health but has been hesitant to tell
anyone other than his primary care doctor, whom
he’s visiting today. For months, he’s refused to meet
with Levey’s team of psychologists, embedded here
at the UCHealth A.F. Williams Family Medicine - Stapleton
clinic. Levey hopes today is the day he finally lets her in.
The patient is hardly an anomaly. Nearly 660,000 Colora-
dans—about one in seven residents—claimed they did not get

the mental health services they needed in 2019, according to
the nonprofit Colorado Health Institute’s most recent Colorado
Health Access Survey. That’s a 77.6 percent increase from 2017.
Although the surge might represent more people acknowl-
edging that they need care, it also reflects a serious dearth of
access in the Centennial State. According to the survey, cost
was the most prevalent reason for not seeking treatment, fol-
lowed by uncertainty about whether insurance would cover it

and difficulty getting an appointment. Meanwhile, Colorado
ranks 10th in the country for deaths by suicide, and teen suicide
deaths increased by 58 percent between 2016 and 2019—the
highest rise nationwide.

BEHAVIORAL HE ALTH
Fortunately, Colorado’s behavioral health
woes aren’t going ignored. Organizations
all over the state are rallying to bolster ser-
vices so people can access them when and
where they’re needed—before a crisis arises.
One of the biggest investments will come
from UCHealth, which runs Levey’s clinic.
Announced in September, the Aurora-based
nonprofit health system’s more than $100
million, five-year spend includes expanding
Levey’s integrated model (i.e., psychologists
physically on hand in family care offices to
help patients) across its network. The goal
is to encourage medical professionals and
patients to care for mental wellness as assid-
uously as they do the rest of the body. “You
don’t think about depression the same way
you think about diabetes, so maybe you don’t
seek treatment—or if you do, it’s hard to
find,” Levey says. “We’re trying to fix that.”
YOU ONLY HAVE TO READ ancient Greek trag-
edies to know that humanity has struggled
with mental health problems for millennia.
But our current crisis—at least as it relates to
access—stems in large part from a movement
in the mid-20th century to shutter public
long-term care facilities and psychiatric
hospitals. In 1963, President John F. Ken-
nedy signed the Community Mental Health
Act, signaling a shift from warehousing
patients in institutions to delivering what’s
called community-based care: outpatient
treatment supported by then newly devel-
oped psychotropic medicines. The missteps
that followed—including underfunding for
community health centers—meant many
patients got lost in the transition between the
two models and never got care at all.
Perhaps as a result, mental illness and dis-
orders “are the number one health crisis in
our country,” says Vincent Atchity, president
and CEO of Mental Health Colorado, a
grassroots advocacy and lobbying group. He
points out that most of us don’t know how
to care for our “behavioral health,” a term
that covers mental health, psychiatric dis-
orders, and substance abuse. The deficits are
especially pronounced for vulnerable popula-
tions. Nineteen school districts in Colorado,
for example, have fewer than one full-time
school psychologist or social worker.
The grave state of behavioral health care
for young people has long been evident to
practitioners at Children’s Hospital Colo-
rado, which has invested $150 million into
Doug M. initiatives to address the issue over the past
Art Director decade. Since the formal branding of its

 BEHAVIORAL HE ALTH
hospitalization for kids who can sleep at
home but need significant daytime support;
outpatient programs with talk, group, and
family therapy—and embedded behavioral
health professionals in every corner of the
hospital. “If a kid is admitted to the ICU,
we have a behavioral health team member
who comes in even before the child is med-
ically stable,” says Shannon Van Deman,
who leads the institute. After all, an ado-
lescent who’s injured in a car accident
might also show signs of suicidal ideation.
“We’re trying to do our part to identify kids
in need,” Van Deman says, “irrespective of
why they’re coming through our doors.”
Still, in 2017, Colorado ranked 48th
in the country for prevalence of pedi-
atric mental health issues and lower rates
of access to care. So that same year, Van
Deman and other administrators and cli-
nicians launched Partners for Children’s
Mental Health, a statewide public-private
partnership that researches why kids here
are struggling and what changes could help.
It discovered that Colorado doesn’t have a
standardized behavioral health screening
for physicians to administer and that 60 per-
cent of kids who died by suicide visited their
primary care doctors during the last month
of their lives. The group advocated hard for
Colorado Senate Bill 19-195, which passed
into law in May and demands a standard
approach to screening and a standardized
system to get children whose exams reveal
they need treatment in to a specialist. (The
state has until July 2020 to figure out how
to implement the mandates.) “If we don’t
effectively address this in childhood,” Van
Deman says, “it absolutely manifests in
adulthood, and often in an acute way.”
ROLAND DELANEY IS SOFT - SPOKEN and has
a gentle, weary countenance that belies his
warm smile. The 64-year-old served in the
U.S. Navy from 1975 to 1992; upon his dis-
charge, he started experiencing symptoms of
post-traumatic stress disorder. He eventually
tried to get treatment through the military
and several different health care providers.
Says Delaney: “They asked what my
problem is, and I said, ‘I have this S on my
chest that means I have to save everybody,
and if I don’t save them, I feel real bad.’ ”
But nobody seemed able to help him erase
that letter—or give him relief from the dark
places his mind and soul wandered. Which
is why Delaney kept Levey waiting for
months outside that exam room door.
Eventually, when the sadness and anger
became all-consuming, Delaney relented.
“Our first official meeting together was me
24 | 5280 HEALTH | 20 20
crying and her listening,” he says. But Del-
aney came back regularly. Levey and the
primary care doctor collaborated to adjust
his medication, and Levey tried various
evidence-based approaches to help the vet
understand and deal with his emotions.
Then, a breakthrough: Using a virtual reality
headset and immersive software that leads
him through mindfulness and mood exer-
cises, Delaney says he found a way to “slow
down and breathe and not feel alone” and
avoid emotional dips between visits with
Levey. Delaney bought a headset to use at
home and recently revealed to her that he’s
using it to learn Spanish. The only prob-
lems? “I’m having trouble talking to the
[virtual] cab driver,” he laughs. “And some-
times my girlfriend thinks I’m talking to
another woman.”
Levey says Delaney’s story is just one
example of how bringing behavioral health
providers to patients—rather than making
them try to navigate the system—changes
outcomes. Her office began providing inte-
grated services decades ago, but UCHealth’s
big investment will replicate the model
by embedding counselors in dozens of
primary care clinics in Colorado (and
potentially southern Wyoming).
UCHealth isn’t the only local provider
working to beef up front-line services. Two
years ago, SCL Health launched Mental
Health First Aid, an eight-hour training
program managed by the National Council
for Behavioral Health and Missouri
Department of Mental Health that equips
community members—such as teachers,
first responders, and business owners—to
recognize risk factors and warning signs for
behavioral health issues and teaches them
what to do until professional help arrives.
At Kaiser Permanente Colorado, for several
years physicians have been able to call the
Mind Line and reach a psychiatrist for quick
advice on a patient’s medication or to get an
urgent referral to a specialist.
The hope of all these approaches? That by
meeting patients where they are, health care
providers can finally begin to chip away at
the enormous behavioral health needs in
Colorado. “I deal with more complex
mental health needs than you might expect
in primary care,” Levey says. “It makes
sense, because we’re the first line of defense,
the first people to step through the door and
say, ‘I’m here. I’m your person. Let’s help
you get well.’ All it takes is the patient
opening one door.”

Detox Your Home
A dirty abode isn’t just embarrassing—it can make you sick. Consider
this your starter kit to a healthier house and a healthier you.

BY DALIAH SINGER
WE HATE TO BREAK IT TO YOU, but your home
is filthy. Not just dust-on-the-bookshelves,
dishes-in-the-sink, dog-fur-on-everything filthy,
either. We mean dirty—as in, there’s bacteria
everywhere. Cold and flu viruses can live on
surfaces for up to 48 hours, and coliform (the
bacteria family that includes salmonella and E.
coli) is present in around 80 percent of house-
holds. Formaldehyde, a known carcinogen,
is released by materials commonly found in
flooring and furniture, and better insulation
means it’s trapped inside for longer. It’s no
wonder, then, that the concentration of pollut-
ants inside our homes has often been found
to be two to five times higher than it is out-
side. And even if recreation-happy Coloradans
spend slightly more time outdoors than most
Americans, who pass 90 percent of their lives
indoors, we still breathe in lots of hours’ worth

Kitchen Confidential
Which room in your house is the germiest? You might guess the bathroom, but it’s actually—drumroll!—the kitchen,
according to NSF International. The public health and safety organization found in a small 2011 study that
coliforms are most prevalent there. “More than 20 percent of foodborne illness outbreaks result from food that was
consumed inside the home,” says Lisa Yakas, NSF’s senior project manager of consumer products. To avoid that,
you need to go beyond cleaning and actually sanitize the dirtiest areas of your kitchen. Here’s how.

HOME SCHOOL
In June 2018, researchers from
nine universities converged on one
1,200-square-foot manufactured home in
Austin, Texas. They cooked and cleaned—
not for their health, but for yours, as part
of the HOMEChem (House Observations
istry) experiment, which aims to find
out how everyday activities affect the
quality of the air your family breathes.
In particular, they looked at oxidants;
volatile organic compounds, or VOCs;
and particulate matter, all of which may
have negative impacts on human systems.
They’re still analyzing the data, but in
the meantime, we caught up with Marina
Vance, an assis-
tant professor
of mechanical
engineering at
the University
of Colorado
Boulder who
participated in
the study, to
chat about what
she’s learned—
and what it
means for you.
5280 Health: What are the biggest
takeaways from HOMEChem so far?
Marina Vance: We saw that cooking emit-
ted a large number of particles and that
these particles were very small—capable
of penetrating the human respiratory sys-
tem. However, due to air exchange and
interactions with surfaces, these peak con-
centrations of particles were short-lived
and didn’t linger for a very long time after
cooking activities were finished.
Still—anything we can do?
There is a body of evidence that things like
cooking and cleaning emit indoor pollut-
ants, so we recommend ventilating your
home when performing those activities. This
can be as simple as opening windows; how-
ever, outdoor air pollution levels need to be
taken into consideration too. I recommend
checking the website airnow.gov to check
outdoor conditions. Another option is the
use of portable air cleaners, especially those
that contain an activated carbon filter (to
remove VOCs) and a HEPA (high-efficiency
particulate air) filter to remove particles.
What about furniture, flooring, etc.?
Building materials and furniture can off-gas
low-volatility compounds for long periods of
time, even decades. Many of these com-
pounds are still under investigation by
researchers, but we know that some, like
phthalates [used in large quantities in
vinyl flooring], are endocrine disrupters. For
people in homes with large amounts of
vinyl, I recommend dusting with a wet mop
to minimize exposure to household dust
[where phthalates tend to accumulate],
especially to children and pets.

THE LAND OF GOLDEN OPPORTUNITIES
Don’t let a tiny thing like aging stop you from enjoying the outdoor bounty that
has helped make Colorado one of the best places in the country for retirees.
O
ne of the (many) jokes cracked at
Florida’s expense marks the Sun-
shine State as “God’s waiting room.”
The premise plays on the millions
of older residents who make the
country’s southeasternmost expanse
their home because—presumably—it’s the
best place in the United States to spend your
golden years. Like any good joke, perhaps
there’s some truth to Florida being the ideal
setting to sit around and await…well, what-
ever comes next. But that’s only because in
Colorado, our eldest denizens aren’t here to
pass their remaining time dotting bingo cards.
In 2019, personal finance website
WalletHub named Colorado the third best
state in which to retire and dubbed Den-
ver the country’s sixth best retirement city.
Both overcame high costs of living—which
is fine, because your 401(k) is gangbusters,

quality of life. That jibes with the conclu-
sion realtor.com recently reached when it
ranked Denver the fourth most popular
relocation spot for baby boomers: “The
most expensive city on our list features 300
days of sunshine a year, easy access to fly-
fishing spots, skiing, rock climbing, hiking
trails, golf courses, and a trio of world-class
pro sports franchises (go Broncs!),” the
report noted. “Basically, you can do just
about anything here.”
We agree, with one caveat: To spend the
best years of your life enjoying the best the
Centennial State has to offer, you need to
stay in the best shape possible. That’s why we
spoke with local experts—from retirement
coaches to nutritionists to some of Colora-
do’s most adventurous seniors—to discover
fun, engaging ways to keep your body, mind,
and spirit firing during what’s going to be
(we promise!) your golden age.
Money Isn’t Everything
YOU’RE FINALLY RETIRED. NOW WHAT?
We’re not saying a flush retirement account
isn’t the most important thing—to be clear:
it is—but that isn’t the only kind of prep
work you should be doing. “It’s been my
observation that 60 to 70 percent of people
enter retirement with no nonfinancial plan,”
says Gary Allen Foster, a certified retire-
ment coach in Highlands Ranch. His advice?
Three to five years before R-Day, begin talk-
ing with your partner about what your later
years will look like. (If you fantasize about
daily tee times and she envisions an end-
less RV road trip, you’ll want to work on a
compromise.) Post-retirement, it’s OK to
spend a year or so reflecting, traveling, and
experimenting with hobbies and volunteer
opportunities. Your goal is to find pastimes

ter says. “You can build your own dream.”

 The Aha! moment came as we were walk-
ing down the Pearl Street Mall, where we
kept noticing people who looked to be about
a decade past my 60 years. Yes, they were
geezers—but great geezers. The men were
lean with ropy forearms and cool shirts; the
bright-eyed women shook out their gray
tresses with pride. These were people my wife
and I could aspire to be 10 years hence. Sadly,
I’m not a tech gazillionaire, so we couldn’t
afford Boulder. Rather, we settled in Fort
Collins—and what a bargain we’ve made.
One reason Colorado ranks so highly on
retirement lists is because it scores well on
“physical activity,” a fact borne out by my life-
style here. I’m enrolled in a cross-training class
at FoCo’s Northside Aztlan Community Cen-
ter on Mondays and Wednesdays; I recover at
the same joint during Tuesday, Thursday, and
Saturday yoga classes; and I play hoops with
a bunch of 50-, 60-, 70-, and 80-plus athletic
anomalies on Friday mornings.

up games in any state. But in Colorado, I get to

to ensure they’re in good mus-

regimen of body-weight squats
(which work your quadriceps,
hamstrings, glutes, and calves),
pushups (triceps, pecs, and
shoulders), and rows with cables
or dumbbells (upper and lower
back). “My recommendation would
be to start out doing 10 repetitions
and gauge oneself based off the
10 reps,” Phelps says. “Ideally, you
should be able to do at least 20
repetitions of each.”

Calcium can’t perform much bone-

patients—they not only stabilized, but they improved.” Hopefully, memory loss, increased confusion, and faltering concentration
aren’t problems you’re dealing with at the moment. Nevertheless, Davalos says social interaction stimulates anyone’s mind and is
integral to maintaining brain health as we age. At the same time, you don’t want to spend your days hanging out with folks you
don’t like, so we put together this guide to finding your new BFFs.

 HOW TO RETIRE WELL IN COLORADO

COLORADAN IDOLS
Hero worship might seem like a
childhood affectation—one you
discarded along with your Barbies
and Beatles posters. But no matter
your age, it’s always helpful to have
role models who inspire you,
which is where these three adventur-
ous Centennial State seniors come in.

On Staying Fit As He Ages: “I focus on the aero-
bic part of it. The main theory right now is you have
to do a lot of high-intensity intervals. I don’t. I just
do an hour-plus of aerobic training—running easy
for an hour—and mix in faster days occasionally.”
On Recovery: “New runners want to plan things
out. But don’t be too rigid in your schedule. You’ve
got to listen to your body. When you’re younger,
you can just go 10, 12 miles a day and keep going.
As I get older, I have to take a couple of recovery
days each week.”
Words Of Wisdom: “It’s always good to have a
goal. So think three months, six months, or even
a year-plus in advance. What do you want to

WHO DECIDES?
Frequently asked questions about the Top Doctors selection process.
Why didn’t you choose my doctor?
» We don’t pick the docs—Denver
physicians do. For the past 26 years,
5280 has surveyed doctors and asked
them, specialty by specialty, which
metro-area physicians they would
trust to treat themselves and their
families. Our theory is that medi-
cal professionals are best qualified to
judge other medical professionals. The
ballot is posted on 5280.com from
the end of January to mid-March
each year. Every metro-area doctor
with a valid Colorado medical license
can fill it out. Once the doctor hits
“save,” the votes are entered into our
database and tallied.
So doesn’t that make it one big
popularity contest?
» In many respects, yes. We hope
that doctors give us careful, respon-
sible answers, but there’s little we can
do to stop them from recommending
their skiing buddies. Using the list
is a lot like going to your doctor and
asking for a referral. The difference is
we’re asking a lot more doctors than
you’d ever have the chance to. Also,
by working to raise our return rate
each year (it was 17 percent this year),
we hope to correct for politics. The
more doctors who participate, the less
chance that any one person’s aspira-
tions will win out.
I thought my doc was a good
physician, but she’s not on the
list. What does that mean?
» Nothing. She probably is a good
doctor. The selection of doctors by
peer review can leave many excellent
doctors off the list. Because longtime,
well-known doctors have the advan-
tage of name recognition, the list may
favor that kind of doctor. However,
that in no way means your doctor isn’t
qualified and completely competent.
I’m a doctor, and I couldn’t access
the online ballot. Why?
» We get the database of all licensed
physicians in the state from the
Colorado Department of Regulatory
Agencies and select the doctors
located in the seven metro-area coun-
ties (Denver, Arapahoe, Broomfield,
Boulder, Adams, Douglas, and Jef-
ferson), which results in a list of more
than 11,200 docs.
» If you attempted to log on to
the system and received a pop-up
response that said, “Login failed,
please check your name and license
number,” that means there is a dis-
connect between your information
and the information we have in the
system. If you’ve recently moved to
Colorado and haven’t updated your
publicly available address with the
Colorado Department of Regulatory
Agencies, for example, your license
will not register as local and there-
fore will be invalid in our system. If
you have registered your license at an
address outside the seven metro-area
counties, you will not be in our data-
base. If you have a hard-to-spell last
name or if you’ve recently changed
your name, it’s possible the infor-
mation we have from the state is
incorrect and you will have trouble
logging in.
» In the future, if you have difficulty
logging in to our system, please use
the “comment” tool on the ballot site
and let us know. We’re happy to work
through the problem so you can vote.
I’ve heard the list is rigged—that
only doctors who advertise with
5280 make it. Is that true?
» Nope. The Top Doctors list is
completely unaffected by which
doctors advertise in the magazine.
Doctors sometimes choose to adver-
tise after they’ve been chosen for the
list, but how much or if and when
doctors choose to advertise are not
taken into consideration. Period.
How does 5280 choose the
medical specialties on the list?
» Through the years we’ve worked
to improve Top Doctors by updating
the categories, increasing the number
of eligible voters, and considering
suggestions from health care profes-
sionals. For the better part of two
decades, our categories have included
only specialties approved by the
American Board of Medical Spe-
cialties (although we do not include
every ABMS specialty). This system
for choosing categories eases confu-
sion among doctors filling out the
survey and reduces the amount of
lobbying we get from doctors and
hospitals that would like us to include
more obscure specialties.
So why aren’t categories such
as chiropractic and podiatry
ever included in the list?
» Although these areas of medicine
are completely relevant, respectable,
and necessary, our list is a physician-
only (M.D.s and D.O.s) directory.
Does 5280 check out all the
doctors on the list?
» The magazine’s research depart-
ment independently verifies every
doctor’s name, phone number, office
address, and hospital affiliations. We
also take the additional step of sending
our list to the Colorado Department
of Regulatory Agencies for approval—
meaning doctors on our list do not
currently have disciplinary actions
against their licenses and have not
experienced a malpractice suit and/or
settlement in at least five years.
The magazine sometimes chooses
doctors to be profiled or to serve
as sources for the accompanying
story. How are they chosen?
» 5280 sometimes likes to introduce
you to some of our Top Docs through
profiles or by using them to explain
different aspects of medicine. We
believe this is a great way to show our
readers that these physicians are not
just names on a list. In choosing doc-
tors to include, we do our best to vary
the medical specialties represented
and introduce you to doctors we have
never included before. Of course,
sometimes our stories involve doctors
who are not on the list as well.

Introducing 5280’s first-annual comprehensive list of premier retirement homes in Colorado. To compile the list,
we worked with Data Joe, a national quantitative research firm that conducted local research and verified every
listing. This list of 100 communities are the best out of 540+ in the Denver Metro Area and were evaluated on
availability, federal government ratings, frequency of negative reports, and community perception.

“I love what I do and enjoy lecturing around the
world to other orthodontic specialists,” says
Dr. Rudman. “I have also invented some of the
technologies utilized in orthodontics today and
enjoy the unique insight I gain from consulting
with leading orthodontic manufacturers.”
We were the first office in Denver to treat patients
with Acceledent, a scientifically proven technology
to shorten treatment by 30 to 40 percent. We
are also an Invisalign Elite Provider, a status
that is reserved for only the most experienced
orthodontists, and we utilize the i-Tero Scanning
System for our Invisalign patients, which makes
impressions a thing of the past. So whether you’re
8 or 80 years old, want colorful braces or invisible
braces, Invisalign or self-ligating treatment, our
staff with over 150 years of experience will ensure
your smile opens doors.
We will help you understand insurance and offer
affordable payment plans.
We are proud of our patients and, in fact, our
website features some of our patients and their
incredible smiles.
Our philosophy, “We are here to make you smile,”
goes far beyond treating your teeth. It’s about
feeling great about your experience with us.
Let us help you discover your smile.
