Jeff Blixt, D.O.
"Training taught me to treat the whole person, and I have never practiced any other way."
As a practicing Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine in Colorado Springs, I am passionate about providing my clients a holistic approach toward their medical and lifestyle challenges.
I specialize in bariatric medicine, the treatment of obesity related disorders, and women's hormone replacement therapy. I am also trained to offer medication-assisted therapy for substance use disorders, including addictions to pain pills, heroin, alcohol, opiates, and benzodiazepines.
