Innovative and personal care from two physicians
Highpoint Direct Care
We would love to have you as a Highpoint patient!
Meet Dr. Roger Matthews
I loved growing up in Boulder, CO where the mountains and an active lifestyle became my foundation for living.
As a life-long athlete, running, playing hockey, and racing bicycles, I have suffered numerous injuries. Being exposed to the patient’s side of the equation has really helped me understand how confusing and frustrating the navigation of our healthcare path has become.
Our goal at Highpoint Direct Care is superior quality, patient focused care. Your treatment should not be affected by what insurance card you carry, or what plan you signed up for. We believe your doctor should be relatable and driven to keep up with the latest medical evidence, but also understand that as individuals our care should also be focused on our particular needs not just what a medical study concluded.
I hope to be adventuring, learning, and doctoring as long as possible and look forward to partnering with my patients as a restorative aspect of that journey.
Meet Dr. Teddy Bross
While growing up and obtaining an education in Ohio, I cultivated a love for mountains while working summers on a remote ranch in Wyoming. I transitioned these skills into a passionate career in family medicine while maintaining my love for the outdoors and competition by racing mountain ultra trail events.
I love focused projects, like route scouting and logistical planning for my completion of the Nolan’s Fourteen route in the Sawatch Mountain range (a hundred-ish mile span over fourteen, fourteen thousand foot peaks). I also built my own indoor Finnish-style sauna in my basement completing everything from drywall demolition to a tongue-in-groove cedar finish.
My wife Hailey and I have our first kiddo due in November and honestly, I cannot explain the joy I feel entering fatherhood. Talk about a “focused project!” I take great delight in small natural wonders like the smell of lilacs in spring and the rich hues of a sunrise along the creek path. Is there a better way to explore than with the curiosity of a child?
I have deep interest in partnering with patients to achieve quality of life goals as well as optimizing performance for those driven in competition. I believe heavily in empowering patients to make informed decisions. I take great care to emphasize the need for individual care in this world of generalized recommendations obscuring health care from untrained and biased professionals. I deeply believe one benefit of being a physician is my ability to help others navigate what has become a complex medical system. Together, let’s make this world make sense!
We love living an active life.
Recreating in the mountains
There is so much out there! We love training to be able to explore beautiful and remote areas while staying safe.
Strong for every day living
When we stop moving, we stop living. Our bodies are meant to be used and we can help prevent damage by holding onto muscle, balance, and flexibility while focusing on mental and emotional tools to keep our minds healthy too! We’ve found that if your medical provider doesn’t understand how important movement is for your personal wellness, they simply cannot partner optimally with you. Have you been told to stop your passionate activity without clear guidance on what you can do to heal? If so you may not be getting the best advice. Let us help you experience another version of care that’s tailored to you and your needs.
Pushing the limits
Competition is an engaging and innate part of being alive. We celebrate achievements and love learning how to become the best versions of us and pushing our own (and others’) limits! That said, you don’t need to sign up for a sanctioned event to compete. Creating your own personal competition and competing directly against yourself over time are creative ways to push yourself as your fitness improves.
