Elizabeth F. Spidell, DO

About Elizabeth

I joined Roaring Fork Family Practice in 2010. I grew up in Glenwood Springs and as a young child often found myself at Valley View Hospital; my father was the local pediatrician and I loved tagging along while he saw babies in the nursery. I was drawn to family medicine because of my interest in caring for the whole patient, and often the whole family. I enjoy working with patients of all ages and backgrounds (from infants to the elderly). With each person in my care, I take time to listen, and to make a true connection; and then we work together towards healthcare goals.

I received my training in Family Medicine at St. Joseph Hospital in downtown Denver and went to medical school in Pomona, California at Western University. Before attending medical school I lived for a year in the Pacific Islands and Nepal teaching English. I also studied Spanish in Guatemala during three separate trips throughout medical school and residency. On my days off you will usually find me spending time with my husband Mark and our two young sons- taking advantage of our beautiful surroundings by skiing, hiking, biking, and running (or lately, simply playing in the dirt). It is a privilege to work with such a wonderful team of providers and staff within the amazing community of Carbondale and the Roaring Fork Valley.
