Colposcopies

AFM physicians provide comprehensive medical services for women, including those intended to evaluate and treat abnormal pap smears. A colposcopy utilizes a special microscope to look closely at the cervix to help determine the cause of an abnormal pap smear. During a colposcopy, small biopsies of the cervix are often taken to effectively diagnose any abnormality. Click here to find a provider

Dermatology

Family physicians have extensive training in the diagnosis and treatment of skin disorders. Treatment for common lesions like warts and actinic keratoses (precancerous skin lesions) is available in all offices. Our providers perform minor skin surgeries including skin biopsies or removal of abnormal-appearing moles. A careful complete skin exam should be performed annually to look for potentially serious lesions such as melanomas. AFM providers also perform minor cosmetic procedures including removal of skin tags or other benign skin lesions. Click here to find a provider

Gynecology

Our providers deliver comprehensive medical services for women including routine annual exams with pap smears, consultations regarding birth control options and family planning, and evaluation and treatment of menopausal symptoms including hormone replacement therapy. We also treat conditions such as vaginal and bladder infections. Click here to find a provider

IUD

IUD (Intrauterine Device)
An IUD is a T-shaped device that is inserted into the uterus and acts to prevent either ovulation or implantation. It is a very reliable form of birth control (over 99% effective). The IUD comes in two forms:

Paraguard IUD:
Also known as the “copper IUD,” the Paraguard is effective for 10 years and has no hormones. It is a good choice for women who want a longer period of contraception or prefer or need to avoid hormonal therapy.

Mirena IUD:
The Mirena releases a progesterone hormone that can lead to lightening or disappearance of menstrual cycles. It is a good choice for women who have very heavy or painful menstrual cycles. It is effective for five years. Click here to find a provider

Imaging

Digital X-rays: Digital x-rays of the chest and extremities are available our CSU office, Horsetooth office, Lemay office and Windsor office. Mammography: State-of-the art fully digital mammography is available at the Horsetooth office. DEXA Scans: Bone density testing used for diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis is available at the Horsetooth office.

LEEP Procedures

AFM physicians provide comprehensive medical services for women, including those intended to evaluate and treat abnormal pap smears. LEEP procedures utilize a special microscope to look closely at the cervix to help determine the cause of an abnormal pap smear. During a LEEP procedure, the end of the cervix, which sometimes contains precancerous abnormalities, is surgically removed, effectively treating the precancerous condition.

LGBTQ

We provide a broad spectrum of care for our LGBTQIA+ patients. We strive to make each patient feel as comfortable and supported as possible at each visit, from the lobby to the exam room. Everyone’s experience is unique, and one’s sexual orientation and gender identity play a major role in social, emotional, and physical health. These are all important in helping to foster the provider-patient relationship based on trust and open communication. Click here to find a provider

Lactation Consulting

Our providers strongly believe that breastfeeding is beneficial in promoting proper bonding between moms and their babies; mother’s milk also provides the best nutritional source for infants. Sometimes breastfeeding can present challenges, so our lactation consultants are here to help new moms with problems as they arise. Click here to find a provider

Mammography

Mammography is specialized imaging that uses low-dose x-ray technology to see inside the breasts. A mammogram aids in the early detection and diagnosis of breast diseases in women. State-of-the-art 3D mammography is available at our Horsetooth Office and Windsor Office. Did you know that AFM is the only practice in Fort Collins that offers Mammograms on Saturdays? Stop by the Horsetooth Office from 8:30 am to 12 pm on Saturdays if you aren't able to make an appointment during a weekday.

Nexplanon

Nexplanon Nexplanon is a small, thin and flexible arm implant that provides up to three years of continuous birth control. It’s placed under the skin of your inner, upper arm by your healthcare provider. Nexplanon is reversible and can be removed by your healthcare provider at any time during the three-year period.

Orthopedic Care

Sprains, strains, fractures and broken bones are common in our active patient population in the Northern Colorado area. Our providers are trained to evaluate these injuries. Many common fractures are treated by our physicians, who will determine if consultation with an orthopedic specialist is needed for more complex injuries.

Family physicians are also well trained to evaluate and treat chronic orthopedic problems such as arthritis, bursitis, tendonitis, and back pain. From initial clinical evaluation to arranging appropriate diagnostic studies and treatments, our providers can help improve quality of life for those suffering from these conditions.

Osteopathy (OMT)

A DO, or Doctor of Osteopathy, is a physician with all of the typical prescribing and practicing privileges of MDs, but with additional training in the musculoskeletal system. A DO learns hands-on treatment of the joints, muscles, nerves, and connective tissue throughout their medical school training. This hands-on treatment is called Osteopathic Manipulative Therapy (OMT) or Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMM). Manual manipulation to the body, particularly the spine, is utilized to promote better function and decrease pain. Some osteopathic techniques are similar to what other practitioners provide (such as chiropractic, physical therapy, and massage), but many are specific to osteopathic physicians. DOs are also taught a holistic philosophy—the existence of a mind, body, spirit connection, and that the body has the capacity to heal itself. DOs are taught to treat “the whole person” and to avoid simply addressing symptoms.

AFM’s experienced excellent osteopathic physicians are board-certified family physicians who provide full-spectrum family medical care and also perform Osteopathic Manipulative Therapy. Click here to find a provider

The “golden years” can be some of the best, most fulfilling years of your life, but they can also include some added healthcare challenges. At Associates in Family Medicine, we welcome seniors and the nuances of care that accompany this period of the life journey. Our providers look forward to helping you with preventive care, as well as chronic condition management and treatment for acute illnesses or injuries. Click here to find a provider

Transgender Care

We provide a broad spectrum of care for our transgender nonbinary patients, from wellness exams to initiating hormone therapy. We offer comprehensive care, treating the whole patient based on individual needs, and work closely with community organizations and mental health providers as part of holistic patient-centered care. We can help to place appropriate referrals (e.g. to surgeons) if necessary / indicated. We strive to make each patient feel as comfortable as possible at each visit, from the lobby to the exam room.

Vasectomies

A vasectomy is considered a permanent method of male birth control and is done in the office setting. During this procedure, which is done using a local anesthetic, the vas deferens from each testicle is clamped, cut, or sealed. This prevents sperm from entering the semen during ejaculation. Following the procedure it takes several months for all the remaining sperm to be removed from the system, so another form of birth control must be used until a semen sample has been tested and shows a zero sperm count.

Women's Care

We offer complete women’s care, including obstetrics and gynecology, at all locations. Mammography exams and osteoporosis testing are available at the Horsetooth office. If you prefer a female provider, we offer at least one or two female providers at each location.
