Honored as a Top Woman in Business: Direct Care Rheumatology in Colorado

It feels both surreal and deeply moving to be named one of the Top 25 Most Powerful Women in Colorado by the Colorado Women’s Chamber of Commerce.💫

I am truly honored, but this moment is about so much more than me!

This recognition isn’t just a personal milestone—it’s a celebration of every patient who’s ever longed for a doctor who truly listens. It’s about every person who’s faced a difficult diagnosis and needed hope, trust, and the reassurance that they are more than their symptoms or lab results. I see you. I’ve been you. You are the reason I do what I do.

A Comprehensive Approach to Rheumatology: Personalized Care, Remission as the Goal

When it comes to rheumatology, I believe in leaving no stone unturned. Autoimmune and inflammatory conditions are complex, and every patient’s story is unique. That’s why our approach at UnabridgedMD is truly comprehensive: we combine the most advanced, evidence-based Western medicine with the wisdom of Eastern healing traditions, nutrition, lifestyle, and mind-body practices.

But it’s not just about throwing everything at the wall and hoping something sticks. It’s about listening deeply, understanding your goals, and crafting a treatment plan that is as unique as you are. We look at the full picture—your labs, your symptoms, your life—and create a roadmap together. And most importantly, we keep our sights set on remission. Not just “managing” your disease, but helping you reclaim your life, your energy, and your sense of possibility.

Remission isn’t a distant dream here—it’s the goal we work toward, every single day, with every patient. I know firsthand that it’s possible, and I want that for you, too.

Blending Science with Soul

People sometimes ask me why I chose to blend Western medicine with holistic healing. The truth? My own life demanded it. My journey through stage IV cancer didn’t just test my body; it transformed my heart. I learned that healing isn’t just about lab results or prescriptions—it’s about connection, trust, and being truly seen. The science is essential, but so is the soul.

At UnabridgedMD, we’re reimagining healthcare as a partnership. Here, you’re never just a diagnosis. You’re a whole person—with dreams, fears, and a story that matters. Whether we’re discussing the latest research or holding space for your worries, our goal is to meet you where you are, with both expertise and empathy.

Reimagining Healthcare: Why We Chose Direct Care

One of the boldest choices we made at UnabridgedMD was to step outside the traditional insurance model and embrace direct care. Why? Because the current system too often puts paperwork and profit over people. I wanted to build a practice where the focus is entirely on you—your needs, your questions, your healing.

By operating outside of insurance, we’re able to spend real, meaningful time with each patient. There’s no rushing through appointments or limiting care based on what’s “covered.” Instead, we can dive deep, get to know you as a whole person, and develop a care plan that truly fits your life. You get direct access to me and my team, quick scheduling, and transparent pricing. Most importantly, you get a partnership built on trust, time, and genuine connection.

This model isn’t just better for patients—it’s better for doctors, too. It lets us practice medicine the way it was always meant to be: with heart, with curiosity, and with the freedom to do what’s right.

Born from Compassion, Not Ambition

People often think the best businesses are fueled by ambition and strategy. And yes, those things matter. But UnabridgedMD was born from something different: compassion. A deep, unshakeable desire to help. To my team, every patient is family. Every story is honored. Every moment is a chance to bring a little more light, hope, and possibility into the world.

A Love Letter to My Fellow Women in Healthcare

To my fellow women blazing trails in medicine—and to anyone forging their own path—I see you. I know the late nights, the self-doubt, the moments when you wonder if your efforts matter. They do. The most meaningful impact often begins with a simple desire: to heal, to help, to make the world just a bit gentler for someone else.

Here’s to Whole-Person Care and Beautiful Surprises

If you take away one thing from this moment, let it be this: Healing is possible, even when the odds seem impossible. Courage is contagious. And sometimes, the most beautiful surprises arrive when you lead with your heart.

Thank you—from the bottom of mine—for letting me be part of your story, and for being part of mine.

With gratitude,

Dr. Isabelle Amigues

CEO and Founder of UnabridgedMD
