About

Family medicine in Estes Park since 1992 is a long run, and Dr. Guy Van der Werf has spent all of it here. He practices with UCHealth Primary Care in the Timberline Medical Center on Stanley Avenue, a short walk from the Visitor Center, and he is taking new patients.

His resume reads like a piece of the town's medical history: past Chief of Staff at Estes Park Health, and medical director of its home health and hospice program since 1995. Before medical school he took a Stanford degree in mathematical sciences, which fits his stated habit of finding the answer and taking the most efficient path to it.

The clinical list is broad and practical for a mountain town. School, camp and work physicals. Lacerations and skin biopsies. Fracture care, joint injections, sprains and back injuries, plus rural and wilderness medicine. Visits are by appointment, booked online or by phone, and the staff at the front desk get remembered as kindly as the doctor.
