Dr. Sarah Dech is a comprehensive ophthalmologist who provides medical and surgical eye care for patients across the Estes Park area. She manages common and complex conditions including cataracts, glaucoma, ocular surface disease, diabetes-related eye problems, age-related macular degeneration, and eyelid disorders. Her approach is friendly and down-to-earth, taking time to explain diagnoses and treatment options so patients can make confident choices. A Michigan native, Dr. Dech studied with distinction at the University of Michigan and earned her medical degree at The Ohio State University, where she was inducted into Alpha Omega Alpha and graduated magna cum laude. She completed an internship at Ascension St. John in Detroit followed by ophthalmology residency at Tufts Medical Center/New England Eye Center in Boston.

Dr. Gregory Fliney is a comprehensive ophthalmologist with a focus on cataract, glaucoma, and eyelid surgery. He combines modern surgical technology with a thoughtful, educational style so patients understand their choices—whether that’s premium cataract lens options, minimally invasive glaucoma procedures, or rejuvenating eyelid surgery. His goal is clear: safer surgery, smoother recovery, and vision that supports the way you live. Dr. Fliney graduated from the University of Colorado School of Medicine, completed ophthalmology residency at Yale University, and studied biology and psychology at the University of Colorado Denver, graduating summa cum laude. He offers MIGS alongside medical therapy to reduce drop burden, and performs functional and cosmetic eyelid procedures, including blepharoplasty and brow lift. Patients value his approachable manner and the time he takes to tailor care plans around their visual needs.

He offers advanced cataract surgery, minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS), medical and laser glaucoma care, refractive corneal procedures, and selected oculoplastic services. His style is collaborative and down-to-earth—patients can expect plain-spoken guidance, careful counseling about lens and procedure options, and steady hands in the OR. A Colorado native, Dr. Gebhard studied Italian at Brigham Young University, earned his MD from the University of Colorado School of Medicine, completed an internal-medicine internship at the University of Utah, and finished ophthalmology residency at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. He enjoys caring for families across the Four Corners region and speaks both Italian and Spanish. Whether the goal is sharper distance vision or lowering eye-drop burden, he works with each patient to map a plan that fits their life.
