The Center for Multisystem Disease in Denver specializes in disorders that affect multiple body systems. These diseases often cause such complex symptoms that patients spend years going from one doctor to the next, without ever obtaining an accurate diagnosis because their problem doesn’t fit neatly into a traditional medical specialty.

Jill Schofield, MD founded the Center for Multisystem Disease to provide comprehensive care to patients with conditions such as dysautonomia, mast cell activation syndrome, antiphospholipid syndrome, Sjögren’s syndrome, and celiac disease.  Some of the patients suffering from these disorders also have Ehlers-Danlos syndrome which causes additional struggles. She specializes in immune-mediated disorders that are confounding due to bodywide symptoms, devoting extra time to each patient so she can identify the issues causing their symptoms. She was the recipient of the 2019 Dysautonomia Support Network’s Game Changer Award for her work in the use of IVIG to treat patients with autoimmune forms of dysautonomia.

At the Center for Multisystem Disease, you’ll receive compassionate care that includes not just medication, but support for lifestyle changes that are important for many patients suffering from these disorders. This includes dietary counseling, help with stress reduction, and learning the best ways to exercise to maintain well-being without aggravating your condition.

If you’ve ever felt like no one understands your illness, or worse, if you’ve been told there’s nothing wrong with you or your symptoms are all in your head, you’re not alone. You’ll find a community that welcomes you at the Center for Multisystem Disease. You’ll meet other patients who suffer from the same condition and who understand your struggle.

Your symptoms will never be discounted at the Center for Multisystem Disease. Their goal is to define your underlying disorder or disorders and to provide customized treatment targeted to the root of the problem, rather than just “band-aid” treatments targeted to each symptom. If you have questions or would like to schedule an appointment, call the office or book an intake appointment online.

I was born and raised in Southern California, and I have already had the opportunity to call several states and countries home. I did my undergraduate studies at Brigham Young University in Idaho where I earned a degree in Biology. Then, I started medical school at Trinity School of Medicine on the lovely island of St. Vincent and the Grenadines and finished in the state of Georgia. 

My desire to enter medicine started when I was an Emergency Medical Technician in Idaho. Through my medical school training, I found my passion to be in internal medicine. Outside of my work in medicine, I enjoy playing soccer, outdoor activities with my wife and kids, and fixing things.

After moving around with a military family, I landed in Colorado for middle school and high school. I then attended Colorado State University on an academic scholarship, majoring in Biological Sciences. While at CSU, I stayed engaged with healthcare through summer medical mission trips, volunteering with skilled nursing facilities, and earning my EMT. I worked full time as an Emergency Room Technician at Poudre Valley Hospital in Fort Collins, CO. For two years I served as a member of the healthcare team, while continually searching out new certifications in prehospital, pediatric and emergency medicine. Then I went to medical school at the Rocky Vista University College of Osteopathic Medicine.

Throughout my clinical experiences, I have most enjoyed growing into my role as an active member of the healthcare team. I am looking forward to doing the work I love while serving my community and my neighbors.

Outside of medicine, I spend my time with family, enjoying colorful Colorado. Hiking, camping, and skiing are some of my favorite ways to spend time outside together. When not outside, you can find me with a good book and some hot tea or gathered around a table with friends and family.

I grew up in Sioux Falls, South Dakota and went to college at North Dakota State University where I completed a degree in Zoology and competed in Track and Field. I then went to medical school at the University of North Dakota. 

I enjoy developing relationships with my patients and helping them manage their chronic conditions including obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, and chronic respiratory diseases. After my residency I plan on pursuing a career in primary care.

In my free time, I spend  time with my family (wife, daughter, and golden retriever) and friends, and also enjoy running, reading, and playing pickleball. 

I grew up in northern Virginia and completed my undergraduate studies at the University of Virginia (Go Hoos!) I then went to medical school at the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine where I completed an additional year as a graduate teaching fellow in anatomy. I also spent time as a research assistant for the Exercise is Medicine team, and enjoyed conducting investigations into the anti-inflammatory mechanism of physical activity.

I am delighted to continue my medical training as an internal medicine resident at Sky Ridge Medical Center and as a part of Russak Personalized Medicine. I chose internal medicine so that I can focus on forming lasting relationships with my patients while managing each patient’s comprehensive medical care with an emphasis on wellness. 

In my spare time, I enjoy running, soccer, ultimate frisbee, hiking, traveling, and salsa dancing. My husband and I are thrilled to make the move out to the great state of Colorado as I continue my medical training, and I am looking forward to treating my patients.

Bryce was born and raised in Denham Springs, Louisiana, where he attended college at Louisiana Tech University to play baseball and majored in Biology. He then went to medical school at Louisiana State University’s School of Medicine in Shreveport. In his spare time, he loves being outside in nature, so naturally, Colorado is the place to be! He has really gotten into skiing since living here, and also loves hiking and fishing. He is not quite sure what area of medicine he'd like to specialize in, but he does know that it is very important to him to be in a position that provides excellent care to patients. That's what life is all about - folks taking care of folks!

I am an Asian American adoptee from China who grew up in Highlands Ranch; I call Colorado my home. I have been fortunate enough to stay in this wonderful state for college, medical school, and now for my residency. 

I believe physicians have a unique opportunity to serve people from all walks of life by providing excellent patient-centered medical care. I find the profession of medicine is an art form through which the practitioner learns how to apply scientific knowledge to an ever changing and evolving canvass of patients. It is a profession that requires patience, wisdom, and compassion; all of which I strive to embody and exhibit as a future physician. 

I am particularly interested in Oncology.  During my first year of medical school, I discovered a suspicious mass on my hip. Though it turned out to be benign, I felt what any cancer patient might feel while waiting for a diagnosis. This glimpse as a patient allows me to better understand and empathize with my patients.
