A Doctor's New Chapter Brings Personal Care Back to Lafayette

After two decades in traditional healthcare, Dr. Loree Koza is embarking on a new chapter to revitalise personal care. Her recently launched Manifest Health Concierge Medicine offers a refreshing alternative to the often impersonal nature of modern medical practices. https://www.manifesthealthcm.com/

Born and raised in Colorado, Dr. Koza has deep roots in the area. She has called Broomfield home for 16 years and has been part of the north-metro community since marrying her high school sweetheart in 1994. "Most of my extended family also continues to live in Colorado, which is a joy!" she shares, reflecting her deep investment in the community.

Her journey to concierge medicine stems from a desire to practice medicine the way she believes it should be done. While her concierge practice is new, Dr. Koza brings decades of experience from her time with Kaiser, where she built a reputation for being thorough, caring, and genuinely invested in patients' wellbeing. Her decision to transition to concierge medicine was driven by a desire to offer a more personalized and attentive healthcare experience, focusing on the individual needs of each patient.

Dr. Koza and her nurse, Sarah, offer something increasingly rare in today's healthcare landscape: time. While traditional practices often schedule patients every 15 minutes, she dedicates 30 to 60 minutes for each appointment. The extended time enables her to delve deeper into her patients' concerns, ensuring no question goes unanswered and no symptom overlooked. Patients have already praised her approach, appreciating the opportunity for meaningful conversations about their health.

"She knows how to put a patient at ease when there are questions," one patient notes, highlighting her calm, reassuring presence. Her ability to listen attentively and respond thoughtfully underscores her commitment to patient-centered care.

"Dr. Koza is a wonderful doctor! She listens and cares about her patients."

Her practice philosophy extends beyond longer appointments. Dr. Koza serves as what one patient calls a "quarterback," coordinating care among specialists and treatments while maintaining the personal connection often lost in larger healthcare systems. This comprehensive approach includes everything from annual physicals and wellness consultations to chronic illness management and mental health care. By acting as a central figure in her patients' healthcare journeys, she ensures all aspects of their health are addressed cohesively.

At home, Dr. Koza and her husband have raised four children—one now working as a biomedical engineer in Baltimore, another studying speech pathology at the University of Arizona, and two currently attending Broomfield High School. The family also includes two dogs, two cats, and one "grand-cat," as she fondly describes it. Her ability to balance a thriving medical practice with a vibrant family life speaks to her dedication and passion in all areas of her life.

Dr. Koza offers complimentary meet-and-greet phone appointments to help potential patients determine if her services align with their needs. These sessions provide an opportunity to learn more about the benefits of concierge medicine and how it can enhance their healthcare experience.

Today's healthcare environment often feels rushed and impersonal, Dr. Koza’s approach represents a return to an older version of doctor patient relationships. Where patient care comes first, something our community has been missing: a doctor who truly has time to listen.  Dr. Koza is redefining what it means to be a physician in today’s fast-paced world, offering a model of care that is both innovative and deeply rooted in traditional values.
