About

At Premier Medical Center in Basalt, Colorado, Dr. Tim Kruse brings over two decades of family medicine experience to the Roaring Fork Valley. He founded the practice in 2006 as the first concierge medicine practice in Colorado outside of the Denver area. The practice describes its model as "Direct Primary Care With A Concierge Flair," blending flat-fee access with high-touch, relationship-driven care.

Dr. Kruse keeps his panel well under one-fourth the size of a traditional primary care practice. That intentional limit gives him the time to deliver thorough, unhurried care. Members reach him 24 hours a day by text, phone, email, or video. The practice offers same-day and next-day appointments, house calls, and telemedicine support for patients traveling away from home. An in-house pharmacy provides medications at wholesale pricing. Comprehensive executive physicals and health coaching come included with membership. The clinical scope covers family medicine, chronic disease management, women's and men's health, pediatrics, mental health, hormone therapy, dermatology, and a full range of in-office procedures.
