Karen Locke, MD

About Karen

Karen Locke, MD is a board-certified family medicine physician at Roaring Family Practice. She attended medical school at the University of Kansas and completed her residency at the University of Wisconsin. She has been practicing family medicine in the Roaring Fork Valley since 1999 and volunteered for the American Red Cross in Germany.

Dr. Locke’s medical interests run a wide gamut—she happens to be certified in Chinese acupuncture, for one thing. Her daughter is from China and her family’s close connection to Chinese culture gave her cause to explore healing techniques from that part of the world.

She also has a deep interest in women’s health and believes in making plans to meet people where they are. “I’m here to help women, and really, all of my patients grow and be the best they can be, both emotionally and physically. In family practice, I even get to address spiritual components of care—I have such close relationships with my patients, it tends to be a natural progression.”

Dr. Locke lives in Basalt and enjoys hiking all over the Roaring Fork Valley, particularly in the wintertime. She has three sons and one daughter, ranging in age from 17 to 26, and has raised them all right here.

Specialties: pediatric care (newborn and adolescent), adult care and geriatric care
