Gastroenterology of the Rockies to Open New GI Clinic in Denver

DENVER, COLORADO—Gastroenterology of the Rockies is pleased to announce the opening of our new clinic in Denver – located at 1830 Franklin Street. Clinic doors open August 26, 2024. The endoscopy center will open shortly after and will be announced.

Patients can start scheduling appointments now with our board-certified gastroenterologists and advanced practice providers.

“The addition of this larger GI clinic in the heart of downtown Denver will give more patients access to quality digestive care at a time when we are faced with a physician shortage, especially in specialties like gastroenterology,” said Lara Kelley, CEO, with Gastroenterology of the Rockies. Adding that we are seeing an upswing in younger patients presenting with colon cancer risk factors, she added.

By moving into a larger space combined with adding new healthcare partnerships, Gastroenterology of the Rockies is positioned to offer an expanded line of ancillary services in this state-of-the-art facility. This includes on-site biologic infusion therapy services and clinical trials that provide patients with new and innovative therapies, Kelley added.

Upon opening, the on-site endoscopy services will include high-tech medical devices like GI Genius® – allows gastroenterologists to screen for and remove colon polyps at various stages of growth and different types – often hidden to the human eye. This AI-powered device offers a 99.7 percent sensitivity rate.

Another offering, FibroScan®, a minimally invasive screening device that assesses biomarkers to detect advanced stages of liver fibrosis and fatty liver disease. Our comprehensive liver health program is led by David Cristin, MD, gastroenterologist.

Rohan Clarke, MD, FACG, gastroenterologist, will provide expertise in advanced therapeutics, and Joshua Steinberg, MD, gastroenterologist, will continue to lead the Inflammatory Bowel Disease – Crohn’s & Colitis Program as its director. Gastroenterologists Tim Dobin, DO and Wes Prichard, DO will also be at the new Denver location.

Gerald Kidd, PA-C and Susan Gieske, PA-C will also provide patient care.
