Dr. Rebecca Nickell, DO  Schedule with Dr Nickell

Dr. Rebecca Nickell believes great healthcare is about more than just treating symptoms—it’s about understanding you as a whole person. As an Osteopathic Physician, she takes a comprehensive, patient-centered approach to health and wellness, helping individuals and families thrive at every stage of life.

After earning her medical degree from Oklahoma State University College of Osteopathic Medicine in 2002, Dr. Nickell fell in love with Colorado while completing her residency at Southern Colorado Family Medicine in Pueblo. Her expertise spans general family medicine, women’s health, osteopathic manipulation, mental health, and weight management. She loves caring for entire families, from young children to grandparents, and values the relationships she builds with her patients over time.

Dr. Nickell’s passion for medicine was sparked by stories of her grandfather, a small-town family physician who cared for his entire community like they were family. That same dedication drives her today, ensuring each patient feels heard, valued, and supported in their health journey.

Outside of medicine, Dr. Nickell enjoys spending time with her three daughters and extended family. She’s an avid reader, a lover of live theater, and a creative spirit who enjoys sewing and designing costumes for the whole family
