ABOUT MIPS

Minimally Invasive Procedure Specialists, PLLC (MIPS) is a physician-owned interventional radiology and vascular practice with office-based labs in Highlands Ranch and Parker, Colorado. Founded by E. Brooke Spencer, MD, FSIR, MIPS has built a national reputation for the diagnosis and treatment of pelvic venous disorders and the complex chronic conditions that travel with them.

Our patients are not simple. They arrive after years of being told their symptoms are unexplained. Many carry overlapping diagnoses - pelvic venous disorders, POTS, hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and hypermobility spectrum disorders, mast cell activation, long COVID, MALS, Nutcracker and May-Thurner syndromes, and chronic DVT. We correct what can be corrected with a catheter. We are now building the team to care for everything else.

That is what this role is. MIPS is launching a functional and integrative medicine service line built specifically around the complex chronic disease population we already serve - a program designed from the start to sit alongside interventional care, not adjacent to it.

THE OPPORTUNITY

You will build a functional medicine program on top of an established, high-volume, nationally recognized referral base - without having to build the practice, the brand, the billing infrastructure, or the patient pipeline yourself.

Most physicians drawn to this work end up doing it alone, in a cash-pay practice they also have to run. Here, the patients are already coming. The imaging is down the hall. The administrative backbone is built. What is missing is you.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

Clinical care

• Serve as the primary functional and integrative medicine consultant for patients with pelvic venous disorders, POTS and dysautonomia, EDS and hypermobility spectrum disorders, mast cell activation, long COVID, and related complex chronic conditions.
• Conduct comprehensive initial evaluations - extended visits, structured history, Beighton scoring and hypermobility assessment, autonomic screening, mast cell and inflammatory workup, metabolic, nutritional, hormonal, and mitochondrial evaluation.
• Provide pre-procedural optimization for interventional patients - iron and ferritin status, vitamin D, thyroid, glycemic control, mast cell stabilization, volume and autonomic status, and inflammatory burden - with attention to tissue fragility and wound healing in the hypermobile population.
• Own the longitudinal management of patients whose venous anatomy has been successfully treated but whose systemic symptoms persist.
• Serve as a diagnostic triage resource, helping identify which patients have a genuine vascular compression component warranting advanced imaging and which are better served by systemic management.

Program leadership

• Design the clinical model, intake pathways, standing order sets, and outcome measures for the functional medicine service line.
• Provide clinical supervision, protocol development, and collaborative practice oversight for the functional medicine nurse practitioner team.
• Partner with practice leadership on service design, membership and program structure, scheduling models, and capacity planning.

Education and research

• Contribute to patient and clinician education on the intersection of connective tissue disorders, autonomic dysfunction, and venous disease.
• Participate in structured outcomes data collection - symptom scores, functional status, and comorbidity phenotyping before and after intervention - supporting research and coverage advocacy in this field.
• Represent MIPS at national conferences and within the functional, integrative, and vascular medicine communities.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

Required

• MD or DO with board certification in Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, OB/GYN, or a related primary specialty.
• Active Colorado medical license, or eligibility and willingness to obtain prior to start.
• IFM Certified Practitioner (IFMCP), A4M/MMI fellowship, ABLM diplomate status, or equivalent formal training in functional, integrative, or lifestyle medicine - or documented advanced training in progress.
• Demonstrated clinical experience managing complex, multi-system chronic illness.
• Comfort practicing at the edge of established evidence while remaining rigorous, referenced, and honest with patients about what is known and what is not.

Strongly preferred

• Clinical experience with EDS/HSD, POTS and dysautonomia, MCAS, ME/CFS, or long COVID.
• Familiarity with pelvic venous disorders, chronic pelvic pain, or vascular compression syndromes.
• Prior experience building or leading a clinical program, service line, or membership-based care model.
• Interest in clinical research, publication, or teaching.
