"Dr. Dave is a Board Certified Family Physician who loves being a doctor. He believes that, “people aren’t numbers, and numbers aren’t people.” He desires to serve people who have rarely or never felt listened to while under the care of a physician. Throughout his career in the U.S. Air Force, he practiced a form of Direct Primary Care where he learned the extreme value of ready access to your physician. Medicine is powerful when the physician and patient actually know each other, when there is ample time allowed to get into the details of physical and mental concerns. Direct Primary Care allows him to practice in his strength, to maximize the health, wellbeing, and life-enjoyment of his patients. Doc Rogers is a Colorado native, a graduate of Greeley Central High School, the University of Northern Colorado, and the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences School of Medicine (Bethesda, MD). He holds additional board certifications in Aerospace Medicine and Occupational Medicine. Dr. Dave grew up in Colorado but spent 24 years in the U.S. Air Force, before settling in Colorado Springs with his wife of 29 years. They have two grown children, a daughter and son. Like many Family Physicians, he is experienced in caring for a wide variety of life’s stages, ages and dilemmas. He is trained and experienced in caring for the whole family, through the many phases of life. He provides urgent care services, wellness services, and focuses on mental and physical well being.
