Dr. Shelby Osborne is an obstetrician gynecologist and co-owner of the Swan Mountain Women\u2019s Center, at Farmers Korner in Breckenridge. The Swan Mountain Women\u2019s Center is a combined OB-GYN and family medicine practice providing primary care services for Summit County and surrounding communities. The center provides low- and high-risk obstetric care, infertility services, gynecological services, menopause management and all primary care services.<\/p>\n

Osborne said that, considering 83% of women use their gynecologist as their primary physician, having a local and accessible OB-GYN and dedicated women\u2019s health practice is critical for Summit County residents.<\/p>\n

\u201cA low-risk pregnant woman, on average, sees her physician 16 times during pregnancy,\u201d Osborne said. \u201cAt a minimum, a woman should have a yearly exam, but many patients are seen more frequently for infertility, hormones, birth control and acute care visits. When a patient needs to be seen, driving to Denver turns a 30-minute appointment into more than a three-hour commitment.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked why she thinks her patients nominated her as a Best of Summit doctor, she said she believes it\u2019s the personal and direct approach she takes to practicing medicine that her patients appreciate.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am very candid with patients,\u201d Osborne said. \u201cI try to be approachable so that patients are inclined to trust me and be honest with me. I always try to explain things so that the patient understands clearly and could turn around and repeat it back to me. I always personally call all of my patients with abnormal results so that I can answer any questions the patient has about the issue at hand.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the women\u2019s center, Osborne works with Dr. Andrew Catron, a founding partner, and Dr. Holly Hickman, a new addition to the center. Dr. Kathleen Cowie, who is also chief medical officer of the Summit Community Care Clinic, works once a week in the family practice, while Laura Amedro and Molly Lee serve as nurse practitioners twice a week.<\/p>\n
