Professional Titles

• Chair of Surgery
• Director of the University of Colorado Cancer Center

Recognitions

• America's Top Doctors®, Castle and Connolly (2018)
  Doctors are selected based on nominations by their peers and reviewed by Castle Connolly's physician-directed research team.
• America's Top Doctors® for Cancer, Castle and Connolly (2018)
  Doctors are selected based on nominations by their peers and reviewed by Castle Connolly's physician-directed research team.
• 5280 Top Doc's, 5280 Magazine (2018)
  5280 surveys doctors and asks them, specialty by specialty, which metro-area physicians they would trust to treat themselves and their families. Our theory is that medical professionals are best qualified to judge other medical professionals. The ballot is posted online at 5280.com from mid-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.
