About
Dr. Lisa Zwerdlinger grew up in Conifer, Colorado, and completed her undergraduate degree, medical school, and residency at the University of Colorado. With 27 years of experience, she has built a reputation for delivering personalized, patient‑centered care. Dr. Zwerdlinger believes health care should be accessible when and where patients need it, which led her to adopt the Direct Primary Care (DPC) model at Rocky Mountain Family Practice. The DPC approach allows her to eliminate insurance barriers, provide same‑day access via phone, text, or email, and focus on long‑term relationships that prioritize prevention and chronic disease management.
Beyond clinical work, Dr. Zwerdlinger is an avid mountain biker, rock climber, ice climber, and backcountry skier. She has co‑authored articles on high‑altitude physiology and serves as the physician advisor for the High Mountain Institute. Together with her husband and two teenage children, she runs a family ranch, embodying the community‑focused, active lifestyle she encourages in her patients.
