About The Provider

A Colorado native, Dr. Applegate attended the University of Colorado at Boulder for his undergraduate studies. He earned his Doctor of Medicine from the University of Colorado – Denver in Aurora. Dr. Applegate completed an internal medicine residency with SCL Health – St. Joseph Hospital in Denver. As a board certified internal medicine provider, Dr. Applegate’s clinical interests include preventive medicine and elder care.
