Craig M. Bereznoff, DO
Medical Director – Physician & Surgeon
|
|
Dr. Bereznoff has been in Practice since
1983. He began his career in Aerospace and Environmental Medicine while
Serving as a Flight Surgeon for the 3rd Marine Corp Air Wing where he was
voted Flight Surgeon of the year. Initially slated to move onto a
career as an astronaut - physican, his path in this direction was cut
short when he developed cancer in 1985. Having experienced and
battled his cancer, he began to see, feel and understand what patients
who are ill experience. This led him further along the path
of empathy that few physicians can have without having been involved as a
patient in the health care system. With the
encouragement of the Marine Corps Aviators in his squadrons, he left his
position as a flight surgeon and opened his practice in Family Medicine
and Surgery in Longmont
, Colorado in 1986.
Lessons learned, as a patient, have contributed to his practice growing
over the past 22 years to what it is today. Dr. Bereznoff has
seen the benefits of what complimentary and alternative medicine has to
offer as well as what role the spirit of the individual has to do with
their health and ability to recover and change their life. He
recognizes what role the spirit plays in creating illness within the
individual. As a result, he has progressively incorporated services into
his practice that provide a more comprehensive health care environment
for his patients.
The mainstay of his practice is conventional medical and surgical care
wherein he recognizes the age old medical axiom; "first do no
harm". Dr. Bereznoff has been blessed with an intuitive
ability to see what is wrong, without always needing to "run every
test in the book". He has always said, " I treat
patients, not numbers or pictures".
Dr. Bereznoff sees state of the art medical care as being the ARTFULL
application of the most up to date medical and scientific knowledge. In his
practice, you are not just a symptom, you are a whole person who has a
family, a job, a physical and emotional life; all of which are impacted
by your current state of health.
He believes in preventing disease before being required to treat it. Dr.
Bereznoff has always believed in what Sir William Osler, M.D.,one of the
four physicians who founded Johns Hopkins Hospital, said in the late
1800's, ‘…listen to your patient, he is telling you the
diagnosis.’
Listening is something many physicians seem to busy to do today.
It is with this background and principles that he teaches the externs,
interns and residents that you may encounter in the practice.
Dr. Bereznoff is a clinical associate professor for the University of
Colorado Medical School and 3 other medical schools. He feels honored to
be able to teach his students what it means and how to be a great
physician.

Psychotherapist

My focus as a psychotherapist and
interfaith minister is to compassionately help people in every aspect of
growing. My commitment to intellectual, emotional and spiritual truth is
a way of life. I assist people in their belief in the power to heal.
My practice is a result of many years of traditional schooling,
metaphysical practices, creativity, and immersion into
alternative/complementary healing modalities. The driven pursuit of my
personal healing and search for intellectual, emotional and spiritual
truth always brings me to the cutting-edge of the latest health
developments, learning theories, and therapeutic techniques. I remain on
the forefront of spiritual growth and of studying healing modalities for
personal well being as well as facilitating the health and transformation
of others. As an interfaith minister, I rely on God's wisdom to show me
the way and when appropriate bring in faith during our sessions.
My 13 years with the Outward Bound Schools immersed me in experiential
wilderness programming and in the power of nature as a tool for self-
growth, discovery and connection to spirit. I blended and utilized my
psychotherapy and experiential education skills to create therapeutic
experiential programs. As Program Director of the North Carolina School
, I pioneered the first Eating Disorders, Chemical Dependency and
Corporate Wilderness Courses. Additionally, I was Director of
International Travel, which allowed me to travel extensively as I created
experiential cross-cultural programs.
My passion and commitment is to create truly transformative individual,
couple and family sessions. My focus is to unleash spirited healing,
creativity and activate needed change for the enhancement of the
individual, family, community and environment.
