Autoimmune & Functional Medicine Care for Denver Patients

The relationship starts with a short discovery call with the New Patient Coordinator — about 20 minutes, USA patients only — to confirm fit before a full evaluation. That call is not a diagnosis. It is a fit check: what you have already tried, which Denver specialists you see, and whether a root-cause telehealth evaluation is a sensible next step.

If you move forward, the new patient evaluation is a thorough telehealth visit with Dr. Hollaman’s clinical team. It brings together clinical history, symptom patterns, and blood analysis. Lab requisitions for an extensive marker panel (the practice describes an 83+ marker panel coordinated through partners such as Evexia) can be completed at LabCorp or another commercial draw site near you in the Denver metro.

Follow-up stays on video. Nutrition guidance, plan adjustments, and lab interpretation happen remotely. Hands-on exams, imaging, endoscopy, and urgent care stay with Denver facilities and specialists. The Boulder clinic’s job is the longer history and the root-cause plan — not replacing your rheumatologist, endocrinologist, or gastroenterologist.

You meet by secure video. The first visit covers diagnoses you already have, specialists you already see in Denver, medicines, supplements, and the sequence of symptoms. Bring files, not summaries. A Denver rheumatology note, a thyroid ultrasound report, and an ANA report with the titer and pattern are more useful than a screenshot that only says positive.

Labs are drawn in the metro area, not in our office. People in central Denver, Aurora, Lakewood, Arvada, Westminster, and the southeast suburbs generally have a commercial draw site within a short drive. The order should name where you will go. Results come back to the clinician and are reviewed on a second video visit. That review is where you hear what the numbers change and what they do not.

Some questions cannot be finished on video. A swollen joint needs hands. A colonoscopy, a skin biopsy, and an urgent abdominal exam need local facilities. Denver has those facilities. The functional medicine visit should tell you when to use them instead of pretending a camera is an exam room.

Before the discovery call: download PDFs of labs and specialty notes from the past year, list every medication and supplement with doses, and write the timeline from first symptom to current diagnoses. Hospital portals often split records across Boulder primary care and Denver specialty clinics — pull them into one folder.

During evaluation: expect a long history, not a seven-minute symptom list. The team will ask what changed before symptoms worsened, which specialists are already involved, and which questions those clinicians have left open. After the visit, you should leave with a written sense of next labs, what to ask your Denver specialist, and which symptoms mean you should call sooner or go to urgent care.

Between visits: use the patient portal for records and care-plan details when you are an established patient. Keep both charts honest — tell your Denver specialist about the functional medicine plan, and tell us about any medication changes they make. Coordination fails in secret.

Many Denver patients already have a rheumatologist, endocrinologist, or gastroenterologist and still feel unwell. That is the situation this visit is built for: a stable or unclear specialty plan, plus fatigue, gut symptoms, poor sleep, or labs nobody has explained in plain language. The visit does not fire your specialist. You should tell both sides what the other recommended.

If you do not yet have a specialist and the story is inflammatory arthritis, lupus features, bleeding bowel symptoms, or jaundice, the first appointment in Denver should be the specialist who can examine that problem. Use this practice alongside that referral, not as a way to avoid it. Boulder being nearby does not make a video visit a rheumatology exam.

Boulder patients who searched the brand already land on the homepage and the about page. If you live in Boulder, start there. If you live in Denver and want the metro logistics, you are in the right place. Fort Collins, Colorado Springs, and the other Front Range cities redirect either here or to the Colorado page so we are not maintaining ten versions of this paragraph.

Disease overviews do not get more accurate by inserting the word Denver. These are the condition pages. Read the one that matches the question you actually have, then bring the mismatch between that page and your labs to the visit.

We do not claim a Denver-specific autoimmune rate, and we do not claim the Front Range climate is your diagnosis. Dry air and strong sun are part of living here. They belong in a lupus or skin history if they change your symptoms. They are not a statistic we made up for a landing page.

We do not say every autoimmune disease starts in the gut. We do not promise symptom reversal on a timeline. Supplements discussed on a visit are specific to your labs and history, and they are not a substitute for disease-modifying treatment your Denver specialist has prescribed.

Scope stays inside what the clinician is licensed and trained to do. Dr. Hollaman's Colorado chiropractic licensure and functional medicine training are public facts on the about page. This page does not add hospital privileges, a Denver storefront, or a claim that we are your emergency coverage. If you cannot reach us and you have chest pain, trouble breathing, black stools, or rapidly worsening neurologic symptoms, use emergency services in Denver.

Denver traffic is the practical reason the visit is remote. A 30-minute drive from central Denver to Boulder becomes much longer at rush hour on US-36, and it is a poor use of a sick day if the appointment is a conversation and a lab order. Schedule the video visit from home or work. Schedule the blood draw near the neighborhood you are already in, whether that is Capitol Hill, the Highlands, Aurora, Lakewood, or the Tech Center. Tell the clinician which draw site is actually convenient. An order sent to a location you will not visit is an order that will not get done.

If you already see a specialist at a Denver hospital, ask them for the last clinic note and the last lab set before you book with us. We would rather read that note than repeat the same antibody panel. If they are uncomfortable with a functional medicine consult, that is a conversation to have with them, not a reason to hide the visit. Coordination fails in secret. It works when both charts mention each other.

Use the Colorado page if your question is about the rest of the state, including mountain towns and the Western Slope. Use this page if you live in the Denver metro and want the logistics of video care from a Boulder practice. Use the about page if you are looking for Dr. Hollaman's training in more detail. Three pages cover what fifty cloned pages were pretending to cover.

People searching for an autoimmune doctor or autoimmune disease treatment in Denver are often trying to find someone who will look past a single normal TSH or a low-titer ANA. Bring those exact reports. The visit can explain what the number does and does not mean, and it can tell you whether a Denver rheumatologist, endocrinologist, or gastroenterologist is the missing exam.
