About Dr. Jerald Koepke, MD

Dr. Jerald Koepke has been practicing medicine in Denver since 1980 when he joined Dr. John Selner at the Allergy Respiratory Institute. On January 1, 1997, the Colorado Allergy and Asthma Clinic merged with the Allergy Respiratory Institute to create Colorado Allergy and Asthma Centers. Dr. Koepke was excited about the blending of these two nationally recognized practices and the expanded opportunities for patient care through extended services, education, and research.

Dr. Koepke is certified by the American Board of Allergy and Immunology. He is a graduate of the University of Illinois and of the Illinois School of Medicine. He completed his residency training at the University of Michigan before entering the U.S. Navy for two years. He studied allergy and immunology at National Jewish Hospital in Denver. He served on the senior teaching staff at the Asthma Center before entering private practice. He is currently an Associate Clinical Professor at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. He is also a Fellow of both The American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology and The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology, the two national organizations recognizing academic achievements of physicians in his field.

Dr. Koepke has been named a leading allergist in Denver by surveys of practicing Colorado physicians. He has become renowned as a physician who first introduced and has instructed allergists in the use of the fiberoptic nasal endoscope to aid in diagnosing and treating allergy problems. He has instructed over 3,000 physicians at national allergy meetings over the past 22 years in the use of the fiberopticscope. As a physician who enjoys patient care, his goal is to educate patients so that they can successfully manage their allergies and asthma. His personalized care facilitates this goal.
