Ruth Bentley is a family nurse practitioner (FNP-C) who has worked in healthcare for over a decade. She has worked as a family nurse practitioner in Boulder since 2020 and prior to that worked as a registered nurse in inpatient, urgent care, and emergency room settings.

She is proud to be a part of the rich heritage of the University of Colorado (home of the first nurse practitioner program in the country).

She enjoys helping patients of all ages reach their health goals - from the ability to keep up grandkids to athletes with ambitious training goals. Ruth's approach focuses on the integration of evidence-based and whole-person care.

As an active individual, she is passionate about providing preventative care and treatment of illness and injury so her patients can continue to enjoy our beautiful mountains in Colorado. As a wife and mom, she understands the interconnectedness of family health and the importance of practical, actionable healthcare.

When not caring for her neighbors at her Direct Primary Care practice, you’ll find her hiking and climbing with her family and fluffy Samoyed, coaxing her garden into a few more tomatoes before the next cold snap, and drinking coffee at Verb - her favorite local coffee shop.
