Our Team

Ryan Shumon Rahman, MD

Board Certified Family Medicine

I earned my medical degree from Tulane School of Medicine in 2012. I then served as a physician in the US Air Force for 4 years. After this, I moved to Memphis, TN where I completed residency and became board certified in Family Medicine. From 2018 - 2021 I was a teaching physician at University of Tennessee. During this time, I trained both medical students and residents as well as developed educational material and curriculums alongside my clinical duties. My desire to move to Colorado eventually led to a meeting with Dr. Michael Banker, who is helping to make my dream of starting a private practice a reality. I enjoy hiking, biking, backpacking and almost anything active and outdoors. Some of my other interests and hobbies include: music, gardening, DIY home projects, cooking, and meditation. My wife is Anna Chollet, MD and we have 2 children, Sarabi and Hakeem. We all live here in Cañon City, CO.

Tara

Business Manager

I've been married for 27 years to my husband, Paul and I have one son, James. We moved here from Southern California 17 years ago because my husband wanted to raise our son in a small town where we could enjoy the mountains, nature and all 4 seasons. I have been in the medical field for 28 years. I started off as a Certified Medical Assistant and worked in many fields like Internal Medicine, Dermatology, Allergy and Asthma, Surgery and Family Practice. I love the medical field and I found that I loved the business side more than the clinical side. I come from a very musically inclined family and I love music from all genres. I love animals and currently I have a 3 year old Rottweiler named Athena, a 17 year old Chihuahua/Pug mix named Daisy and a small cat we call Little Cat.I am so thrilled to be a part of Dr. Rahman’s new practice and I look forward to helping him create his vision of wellness for Fremont county.

Elke

Front Desk

I am a proud mother of three grown children and have spent the past twenty four years raising them along with my hard working husband. My background includes an extensive knowledge of horses. I raised, trained, showed, barrel raced, and taught others the gift of being a well rounded horse person. I was a 4-H and open horse show judge. I raised Paints and Quarter Horses on my farm in Tennessee. I was born in Tennessee and grew up there as well as Washington State. I love the mountains and could never live anywhere that didn't have mountains. In 1997 I lived in Penrose for a couple years before returning to Tennessee. I always loved this area and we decided to move back to Penrose to finish raising our children.

I attended Pierce College in Washington and Northeast State in Tennessee. My background is in business. In addition to running my own business I handle the business side of my husband's trucking business. I love to travel and just enjoy times with my family and friends. We have a German Shepherd named Skylla, five cats, and four horses Bubba, Bandit, Mac, and Chance.

I am honored to be a part of Dr Rahman's practice and look forward to welcoming patients to the clinic.

Judy

Nurse

I recently moved to Colorado from Ohio with my husband of 35 years, to be closer to our daughter and her family including 2 grandsons. I worked with the Board of Developmental Disabilities for 22 years before obtaining my LPN in 2014 from Clark State Community College. I've always enjoyed helping others and decided to further my abilities by becoming a nurse. I enjoy spending time with my family, being outdoors and exploring all that colorful Colorado has to offer. I also enjoy church activities, arts and crafts, and sewing. I look forward to working alongside Dr. Rahman and I'm excited to see him achieve his vision for Fremont County.
