Your Physicians
We founded The Sheldon Sowell Center for Health in 1998 as an expression of our commitment to provide a medical experience that is personal, comfortable, and unhurried – everything medicine should be.
With a unique focus on satisfying patients rather than HMOs and insurance companies, we coined the term HMNo® for which we received considerable media attention from The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Newsweek, PBS, Paul Harvey, Peter Jennings and Bryant Gumbel – and virtually all of the Denver media.
