In this three-part series, Jonathan Sackier sits down with Isabelle Amigues, rheumatologist and founder of UnabridgedMD, a direct rheumatology practice in Denver, Colorado, USA. Together, they discuss the importance of hope in patient care and the inspiration behind starting her own practice.
Isabelle Amigues, is CEO and Founder of UnabridgedMD, a direct care rheumatology practice in Denver, Colorado, USA. After obtaining her MSc from Université Pierre et Marie Curie in Paris, and her MD from Université Claude Bernard in Lyon, Amigues trained across multiple prestigious institutions, including Memorial Sloan Kettering, Columbia University, and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York.
She spent the first part of her career as an academic clinician, teacher, and leader at the Department of Rheumatology, National Jewish Health, Denver, Colorado. However, at age 40, cancer changed Amigues’ approach to medicine. Diagnosed with Stage IV breast cancer, her experience forced her to go deeper and learn about holistic medicine.
At UnabridgedMD, Amigues now uses a unique approach that blends Western precision with Eastern wisdom. Through her direct care model, she aims to deliver both scientific excellence and genuine human connection to her parents.
