Dr. Reagan Anderson is an Osteopathic Doctor (DO) who specializes in Dermatology after five years of general and combat medical experience, followed by three years of dermatology residency at the Michigan State University Consortium/Oakwood Southshore Medical Center. After graduating from Rampart High School, Dr. Anderson moved to Vancouver, British Columbia where he attained his Bachelor of Science and Biology from the University of British Columbia and a Master of Christian Studies from Regent College. Dr. Anderson was then invited to attend the founding Osteopathic Medical School, Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine. Upon matriculation, Dr. Anderson was commissioned in the United States Navy where he spent the majority of his time serving the United States Marine Corps as the First Reconnaissance Battalion Surgeon. Dr. Anderson states, “over the next five years, it was my distinct honor to serve the medical needs of the military men and women of our great country. This experience, particularly my tours in Iraq where I treated U.S. and coalition military members as well as Iraqi civilians, gave me extensive experience in recognizing and treating the underlying causes of dermatologic conditions.” Dr. Anderson left the military in order to pursue Dermatology. During his dermatology residency, he was actively involved in academic pursuits which included national and international lecturing as well as publishing several dermatologic articles. From October 2008-October 2009 Dr. Anderson represented all Osteopathic Dermatology Residents as the Resident Liaison for the American Osteopathic College of Dermatology. He is on staff at Memorial and Penrose/ St. Francis hospitals and is a member of the El Paso County Medical Society and the Colorado Springs Osteopathic Foundation. He is also an assistant professor at Rocky Vista University College of Osteopathic Medicine in Parker, CO. Dr. Anderson’s passion for Dermatology is expressed in his personal statement: “Dermatology is a vast field which has captured my interests and is teaching me more than just the medical side of our largest and most visible organ. Our skin incorporates the kaleidoscope of our genetics, environment, and psyche into the dynamic processes for which you find yourself seeking medical intervention. The interplay between all of these factors makes the field of dermatology endlessly enjoyable and rewarding. Thank you for allowing me to be part of the team which is privileged to help you become comfortable in your skin.”

Pam Bouziden
Billing Specialist
I started in the medical field as a geriatric nurse in the early 70's but stopped working to become a full-time mom and raise my two daughters. In the late 80's I worked in Denver, CO as a travel agent for Carlson-Wagonlit which gave me many opportunities to travel.
In 1998 I moved to Oklahoma and became interested in re-entering the medical field but this time from a business aspect. I received an Associate's degree at Moore-Norman Technology Center where I studied health Insurance Billing, Medical Coding, Medical Transcription, and Medical Ethics. Later I taught at the school as a substitute teacher.
In 2003, I opened a Medical Billing Service where we billed for several specialties including Anaesthesia and Pain Management, Orthopaedic Surgery, Physical Medicine, and Infertility. I am very excited to now have the opportunity to learn about Dermatology and work with a great group of people.
I love being back in Colorado Springs to enjoy the unequalled beauty of the mountains and spending time with my grown daughters and a very spoiled Chihuahua.
