As the official US Ski Team Physician, he has had the opportunity to travel internationally to France and Canada. He also enjoys mountain and road biking, as well as running marathons. At the Chicago Marathon, he qualified for the Boston Marathon in 2014, and has run ultramarathon trail races, completing the Pikes Peak Marathon four times, and the Dirty 30 in Golden.

Always professional efficient and on time. I’ve always been treated with kindness and respect. I enjoy going there when I need to have treatment. Usually Dr. Bierbrauer gives me a shot in my hand, which is what he did at this visit. He has done surgery on my left wrist which is totally back to normal. Now we’re starting on my right wrist. I’m sure it will be just as good as the other one. I recommend him and his office to anybody who needs services.
