TESTIMONIALS
My husband and I are very pleased to be members of Dr. Lisa Zwerdlinger’s Direct Primary Care (DPC) healthcare program. A prime feature that attracted us is the accessibility and availability of the physician, with whom we can now meet as needed at almost any time. In our later years, knowing that she is willing to come to us in our homes, is also a big plus.
In addition to the benefits of the program, we admire Dr. Lisa’s significant experience in and superior knowledge of her field, along with her honesty and care in working with patients.
A personal example: A few months ago, I made an appointment to see her regarding nine personal health questions or concerns. She studied my list ahead of time followed by an appointment at her clinic that lasted a full hour. We had a very positive exchange. I found her to be a good listener and willing to work with me, jointly exploring options.
We feel very fortunate to have her as our doctor and to be a part of her DPC healthcare program.

Dr. Lisa has helped me in so many ways over the last couple of years. It has been life-changing having direct contact with your primary Doctor!!! I have never had such an incredibly close relationship nor have I felt so heard by any Physician. I can't praise her enough and I can't thank her enough for all she's done for me!!!

Our family has had a very challenging medical year. Dr. Lisa has been there every step of the way as our primary care physician. Her ability to connect us quickly with top-notch specialists around the state has been invaluable during this time of need. What I appreciate most is the speed at which lab results come in and out and the ability to schedule an appointment quickly and efficiently without ever having to wait in a crowded and stuffy doctor's office. We've never had accessibility like this before with a doctor and her space in Leadville is so comfortable and welcoming.

It has been a rocky medical road I have been on for the last two years. Dr. Lisa has been there every step to help guide me with the specialists I have been working with.
Her professionalism and caring have been exceptional for all my other personal medical needs as well. I know I can text her when a situation arises and she will be right back to me with advice and/or an appointment to look at the problem.
I highly recommend Dr. Lisa as a primary care physician.
