Having built a successful traditional primary care practice, Tim Kruse M.D. launched  PremierCare, the only practice of its kind in the Roaring Fork Valley. 

Whether referred to as “retainer-based medicine”, “boutique practice” or “concierge medical care”, the concept for PremierCare is simple. Dr. Kruse and his team are retained in advance. There is a limit to  number of patients - individuals and families - so that the team can provide them with uncompromising service, the utmost attention and availability, and cutting edge quality of care.

Dr. Kruse was trained initially at Carleton College where he earned a B.A. in Biology. He subsequently received an M.S. in both Marriage and Family Therapy and Rehabilitation Counseling before going on to earn his Doctor of Medicine degree from the University of Colorado Health Sciences center in 1996.  After completing a residency in Family Medicine at St Joseph Hospital in Denver, he joined a multi-specialty group in Glenwood Springs in 1999.

Recognized for his leadership skills, he has served two terms on the Medical Care Evaluation Committee, and twice as Chairman of the Department of Medicine at Valley View Hospital.   His partners chose Dr. Kruse to serve as a member of the Executive Committee of his 13 physician group in Glenwood Springs.

Dr. Kruse’s commitment to his clients led him to imagine a more accessible, more service oriented practice than patients typically experience.  With that in mind and with the encouragement of a group of clients. Dr. Kruse has created the first practice of its kind in the Roaring Fork Valley, PremierCare. 

It is the mission of PremierCare to provide you with unparalleled access, advocacy and personal  attention to your healthcare.
