Dr. Kara D. Beasley, MD, Boulder, CO, 80304
"I come to work every day with the goal of positively affecting the quality of life of my patients. Each patient is unique and my approach is to tailor a treatment plan that takes into account the personal goals of the patient as well as the surgically unique details of that particular patient's disease. I am committed to excellence in patient care in both the operating room and the outpatient setting and strongly believe in a multidisciplinary team approach that includes the patient and his or her family in the decision making process."
