About Us

The MEDspa at Premier Care is in its fifth year of business and is run by Dr. Tim Kruse and his professional staff.  

The MEDspa was recently awarded Allergan’s highest level of recognition for Botox and Juvederm cosmetic procedures.  Allergan’s Platinum Award is given only to the top 2% of medical practices in the United Stated for demonstrated expertise and volume of Botox and cosmetic filler procedures.  This designation by Allergan (the maker of Botox Cosmetic) makes the MEDspa at Premier Care the preferred provider in the Roaring Fork and Aspen area.
