Our Internet site has three points of interest for referring physicians
to SpineColorado.
- Overview of SpineColorado and how it can be a resource for
you and your patients. This includes information about all our physicians
and how to refer a patient to any of our physicians or directly into
our spine specialized manual therapy department.
- E-consult.
Note that a password is required to access this feature. As the expert
source for information about all types of back and neck problems, SpineColorado
physicians provide a free service to referring physicians only. We
are able to answer physician questions via e-mail through a password-protected
INTRANET site. If you are a referring physician, you may have already
received a letter from SpineColorado with your password in it. If you
are a physician and would like a password assigned to you so you can
communicate through e-mail with any of our physicians, please call 970-382-9500 and
ask for the nurse. If you already have your password and would like
to go to this e-consult page click here.
- Clinical
Outcome Report Card and patient severity data. We
will be sharing patient severity data that shows the severity of
patients entering SpineColorado for their first appointment, along
with clinical outcome information. You will need your password
to access this page.
SpineColorado acts as a regional center of excellence for back and neck
problems. Jim Youssef, M.D. is a fellowship-trained, board-certified
orthopedic surgeon who specializes in back and neck surgery. Cyril Bohachevsky,
M.D., and Mara Isser Sax, D.O., are physiatrists, or physical medicine
and rehabilitation doctors, who specialize in the non-surgical treatment
of back and neck pain.
What makes SpineColorado unique is its emphasis on
a non-surgical approach to back and neck problems. The spine center,
for example, includes two physicians who specialize in Physical Medicine
and Rehabilitation, also called physiatrists. These physicians have
advanced training in back and neck pain and often are successful in
helping people return to activity — without
surgery.
If you have a patient who requires surgery, or may need a consult for
a complex spine problem, there are several ways to access the expertise
of SpineColorado for the benefit of your patient.
Our goal is to provide the most advanced spine care to your patient,
and then return the patient to your care.
Said another way, SpineColorado is able to take care of any type of
back or neck problem: from the simple back or neck strain all the way
to the most complex spine surgery involving surgical instrumentation.
