About Amelia K. Carwin
About The Provider
Dr. Carwin grew up in an Air Force family, so she moved many times but considers Washington, DC her hometown as she spent 14 formative years there, including college and fellowship. She attended George Washington University in Washington, DC for undergraduate studies, earning a Bachelor of Art in Latin American Studies. She went on to attend Georgetown University in Washington, DC for a Master of Art in Latin American Government and Security Issues while simultaneously working as an Air Force civilian. Through her work with the Air Force, she decided to pursue medical school, but first completed her Post-Baccalaureate Premedical Sciences certificate at Columbia University in New York. Dr. Carwin attended the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in Little Rock. From Arkansas, she moved to Cleveland, Ohio for her neurology residency at The Cleveland Clinic, after which she returned to her hometown and Georgetown University for a movement and memory disorders fellowship. Dr. Carwin treats all movement disorders, including tremors, parkinsonisms, cervical and limb dystonias, and blepharospasm in addition to less common movement disorders. She has extensive training and experience with botulinum toxin injections using EMG guidance and ultrasound guidance. She is well-versed in Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) and DUOPA pump titrations. Additionally, she treats dementia. Outside of movement and memory disorders, she is interested in headache and stroke.
“Patients should know that I will educate them on their specific diseases and treatment options so as to formulate the best plan for the patient. I believe that knowledge about their illnesses empowers and helps them take control of their conditions, which ultimately results in better patient care and a better patient/physician relationship.”
Dr. Carwin met her husband on a co-ed volleyball team while completing her studies at Columbia University in New York City. He worked as a photo editor for TIME Magazine and the New York Times Regional News Group until Dr. Carwin's career took them to Arkansas for medical school, at which point he completed advanced degrees to become a secondary education teacher for journalism and social studies. Their daughter was born during medical school, and they had one son in residency and another in fellowship. Their young children were excited to move to the Denver area where their father grew up to be close to relatives from both sides of the family. Dr. Carwin and her husband always wanted to end up in this area, and they feel very lucky to be a part of the community here.

To explain my feelings about Amelia Carwin, there needs to be a category higher than very good. She is a very excellent doctor. I am moving from the area and one of my regrets about leaving is that I will no longer be able to have her on my care team.

Dr. Carwin was great overall. I am very pleased to have her as my doctor.

She listened, fit me in to her schedule so I could get some relief, and scheduled me back with my home clinic for my next treatment. She provided samples so I have some medication on hand while Express Scripts processes the prescription. She was kind, talked through what she would do a little differently in the placement of the injections and why, It felt like she understood the amount of pain I have been in and worked to get me in to relieve my pain. I even considered continuing to drive to Lafayette to see her over my home clinic because I liked her so much.

It's hard to develop a comfort level with a lot of doctors. I am comfortable with her and have been given a good understanding of the disease, the possibilities and the changes to be faced. Open, honest and takes the time to explain everything. Having run a lot of businesses, I comfortable telling you that she is a real asset to your company.
