Academic Neurosurgical Expertise. Personalized Care in Boulder.
Patients seeking specialized neurosurgical care in Boulder, Colorado, can schedule consultations with Chih-Ta Lin, MD, FAANS, a board-certified neurosurgeon, and Nancy L. Lennarson, MS, RN, AGACNP-BC, a board-certified acute care nurse practitioner, at the CU Sports Medicine and Performance Center, located at 2150 Stadium Drive, 2nd Floor, Boulder, CO.
As CU Medicine-employed clinicians with academic affiliations through the University of Colorado Department of Neurosurgery, Dr. Chih-Ta Lin and Nancy Lennarson bring academic neurosurgical expertise and personalized care to the Boulder community.
Whether you're seeking evaluation for a brain or spine condition, experiencing neck or back pain, or looking for guidance about a complex neurological diagnosis, their approach emphasizes careful assessment, review of imaging, and individualized treatment recommendations. A neurosurgical consultation does not necessarily mean surgery—appropriate care may include nonsurgical management, further evaluation, or coordination with other specialists.
For conditions requiring additional subspecialty expertise or hospital-based services, our team can help coordinate the next steps within the broader academic neurosurgical network.
To request a consultation with Dr. Lin or Nancy Lennarson in Boulder, please use the official clinic scheduling information below. Appointment availability and the appropriate clinician for your concern should be confirmed with the scheduling team.

What to Expect
A neurosurgical consultation generally includes discussion of symptoms and prior care, review of available imaging, and an appropriate clinical evaluation. The clinician can discuss whether additional assessment, nonsurgical care, or surgical treatment should be considered. The plan depends on your individual circumstances.
Prepare for Your Visit
The official CU Medicine location page asks patients to arrive 15 minutes before their appointment and present photo identification and an insurance card. Confirm any referral or insurance authorization needs when scheduling.
If available, ask how to share relevant MRI, CT, or X-ray images and reports, previous specialist notes, and a summary of earlier treatments. These are general suggestions, not an approved mandatory imaging checklist. Do not obtain new imaging solely because it is mentioned here; follow your clinician’s instructions.
Do not upload records or patient information to this website. Ask the clinic for its approved method of record and image transfer.
