Common questions

I work in Denver but live in Arvada or Wheat Ridge. Is Lakewood the right CCC clinic?

Usually yes. West-metro commuters whose accidents happen on 6th Avenue, Wadsworth, Kipling, or anywhere inside the C-470 loop reach our Parfet clinic faster than any other CCC location. Patients from Arvada and Wheat Ridge regularly schedule here.

Dr. Leach is your Medical Director. Does he actually see Lakewood patients himself?

Yes. Leach is both Medical Director across all five clinics AND the day-to-day lead physician at the Lakewood clinic specifically. Lakewood whiplash intakes are seen by him personally, not handed off to a mid-level provider.

The other driver was uninsured. Does treatment stop?

No. Your auto-policy MedPay (if you have it) and your own health insurance can both open the case; uninsured-motorist coverage handles the rest. We verify your specific benefits before the first visit so there is no front-desk surprise.

If your accident hit the 6th Avenue expressway, anywhere along Wadsworth, or the C-470 loop, the Parfet Street clinic fits that geography. Dr. Leach runs intake himself, routes imaging to regional partners when symptoms indicate, and keeps the PT/massage workflow tight. Usually we can open the case same-week; benefits get verified before you show up.
