April Caldwell, PA-C

Colorado Springs, Lone Tree

A resident of Colorado and Colorado Springs since 1994, the only reason good enough for April to consider living anywhere else was getting her higher education.  So, she took a sabbatical from Colorado to get her undergraduate degree in Biology, as well as to get her Master of Science and Physician Assistant degrees - at Baylor College of Medicine in Texas.  April has been enjoying practicing medicine in Colorado Springs since her homecoming in 2003.  Almost her entire 20+ year career has been spent in Primary Care.  Direct Primary Care has been her “home” since early 2020, though – and with Pinnacle since December 2022.
