Dr. Sheila Vizanko, DO
For Dr. Vizanko, life has always been about connection--listening closely, asking the right questions, and creating lasting relationships. This is no different in how she approaches medicine. As a family medicine doctor, she cares for the whole person, and not just the symptoms, with a sincere and comprehensive approach. Her patients leave visits feeling heard, supported, and inspired to take an active role in their health. She practices full-spectrum family medicine with a special focus on osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT), blending traditional care with hands-on healing to help relieve pain, restore function, and support the body’s natural ability to heal. By treating structural issues like back pain, headaches, and joint dysfunction, she helps patients move and feel better without always relying on medication.
Dr. Vizanko earned her medical degree from Rocky Vista University College of Osteopathic Medicine and completed her residency at St. Anthony’s North Family Medicine. During residency, she met Dr. Le and while working an overnight hospital shift together, they discovered their paths had a remarkable connection. Not only had they grown up in the same area of Denver, but Dr. Le’s dad was also Dr. Vizanko’s favorite teacher in high school. Over time, their professional paths and personal lives have intertwined, ultimately blending their medical practices and their families—-an embodiment of the values at the heart of family medicine.
Outside of work hours, Dr. Vizanko cherishes being a mom and finds deep fulfillment in helping her son grow into a curious, kind, and bright young boy. She understands the importance of pouring from a full cup and makes self-care a priority through regular exercise, restful breaks, nourishing meals, and well-earned family vacations.
