For over 30 years, 5280 magazine has been compiling an annual list of top doctors in the Denver metro area. Recently, they began a partnership with Castle Connelly, a health care research and information company, to create and maintain the list so that the resource can provide the most accurate and comprehensive information possible for patients.

This year, our very own DFM doctors Brian Bacak, Colleen Conry, Kaylin Klie, Bennett Parnes, Lara Penny, Sourav Poddar, and Rachel Rodriguez are featured on this list. On behalf of the DFM, congratulations to each of you and thank you for the hard work you do!

A selection of individuals can be found in the hard copy magazine, and the full list can be found on the Castle Connelly site.

Featured doctor and DFM Vice Chair of Clinical Affairs and Quality Brian Bacak had the following to say about this publication: "I think that from a Department perspective, this is really great recognition of the work that our physicians do. The 5280 recognition is notable because it’s based on votes of physicians across multiple specialties, across campus and the community. Recognition reflects professional recognition for our work as Family Physicians, Sports Medicine Physicians, Geriatricians, and Addiction Medicine Specialists."
