Overview
Summit Primary Care, which also operates as Summit Health and Pain, is a Colorado medical practice that provides family medicine and pain management services. The practice specializes in primary care with an emphasis on interventional pain management for patients with chronic pain, neuropathy, migraines and related conditions, while treating general primary care as central to its philosophy. Interventional pain management generally refers to procedure-based treatments aimed at specific pain sources, and offering it alongside primary care lets a single practice handle both a patient's chronic pain and their routine health needs.
Its primary care work covers the treatment and management of diabetes, high blood pressure, thyroid disorders, asthma, high cholesterol and COPD, and its providers also treat depression, anxiety, ADHD and other mental health conditions. Preventive services include wellness exams for patients 7 and older and immunizations for adults 18 and older, and the practice directs parents of children aged 7 to 18 to places where they can get appropriate vaccinations. Other services include blood draws, flu shots, weight loss and hormone replacement therapy, along with rapid testing and acute care for flu, strep, COVID-19 and other infectious diseases, often with same-day or next-day appointments for new and existing patients.
The company has locations in Denver, Colorado Springs, Pueblo and La Junta, and pharmacy services are available in the same building as its Denver office. It describes itself as one of the few practices in Southern Colorado that continually accepts new patients with commercial and public insurance, including Medicare, Medicaid and HealthFirst Colorado, and its accepted insurers also include Tricare and the Veterans Administration. Many primary care practices limit how many new Medicaid patients they accept because of lower reimbursement rates, so a practice that keeps taking public insurance can widen access to routine care.
