Christopher Kreider, PA–C

Christopher grew up in Denver, Colorado, and was fortunate enough to have a family that was adventurous and enjoyed being out in nature.  He grew up cycling, skiing, backpacking, and travelling.

He graduated from CU Boulder with a degree in Anthropology in 1992 and went on to earn a Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies from Northeastern University in 2002.

Christopher has been working as a Physician Assistant for 24 years on the Front Range of Colorado. He started his career at Kaiser Permanente in Orthopedics and General Surgery at Boulder Community Health in Pain Management and CU Sports Medicine in Hip Preservation.   He joined Boulder Centre for Orthopedics in June 2026 to work with Dr. Austin Chen.

In these positions, his role has always been to be an advocate for his patients, supporting them and their families during times of stress and uncertainty. Throughout his career, he has seen how powerful it can be when someone takes the time to truly explain, listen, and be present for patients.
