Get to know Obstetrician-Gynecologist Dr. Sherry L. Niccoli, who serves patients in Gunnison, Colorado.

Dr. Niccoli is the only female, board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist in Gunnison Valley. She is the Founder of Gunnison Valley OBGyn, providing comprehensive obstetric, gynecological and surgical care for the women who participate in her practice.

Supporting healthcare needs, Dr. Niccoli has a deep, and personal understanding of the complex health issues women face. She is committed to personal and individual attention of all patients, allowing adequate time for a one-to-one discussion and explanation of appropriate treatments specific to each woman. She also believes in partnering with her patients to help them fully understand current medical procedures and ultimately to improve health outcomes.

“As our patient, you will receive warm, caring and personal attention – no matter what stage of life. Dr. Niccoli provides superior obstetric and gynecological care. We also conduct minimally invasive surgeries as needed. And we work with you to provide all-around wellness care, including hormone therapies and med-spa services” as stated on her website. 

Providing women’s health services that address the whole being, Dr. Niccoli has extensive experience in her field, as demonstrated by the following: serving Gunnison Valley as an OB/GYN surgical specialist, The OB/GYN Department Chair at Gunnison Valley Health since 2012, Surgery Department Chair from 2010 – 2012, and Chief of staff for Gunnison Valley Health from 2010 – 2012.

Back in 1984, she moved to Gunnison Valley with her 2 young daughters who were then 4 and 5 years of age. (Tarah Niccoli-Taylor is now manager and aesthetician of the Colorado Laser Spa & Crystal Niccoli is Dr. Niccoli’s medical assistant on the clinic side). Shortly after the move, she married a 3rd generation Crested Butte local who had 2 boys and whose family originally immigrated to the area in the late 1800’s – during the area’s mining and ranching Era. Dr. Niccoli made Crested Butte her home and soon the family welcomed a 5th child (Galand) to the blended family. 

Shortly after the birth of her son, she went back to school to get her undergraduate in pre-medicine with the intention to become a doctor and serve the people of the community. In 1993, she graduated from Western State College and then went on to graduate from the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center in 1999. After graduating from medical school, she completed a year of training in internal medicine at Exempla St. Joseph Hospital in Denver. She then moved to Phoenix, Arizona and completed 4 years of surgical residency training in obstetrics and gynecology at the Phoenix Integrated Residency Program in OB/GYN. 

A true believer in the power of women and the need for knowledge, Dr. Niccoli opened her OB/Gyn Clinic in Gunnison Valley in 2005. Later, in 2009, she opened Colorado Laser Spa when she recognized a need in the valley to provide well-being services to women, helping to enhance the natural beauty of a woman’s body. This fulfilled a need in the Gunnison Valley for a local laser, CoolSculpting®, and medical spa that could treat both residents and visitors alike.

By devoting her time and attention to every patient she sees, Dr. Niccoli aids med spa clients in achieving complete health and wellness so they can feel their very best. In addition, she has the education and experience to recommend treatments that improve the total wellness of guests at her very special medical spa where they can feel good about themselves inside and out.

A Fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (FACOG), the doctor is board-certified in obstetrics and gynecology by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ABOG). The mission of the ABOG is to define specialty standards, certify obstetricians and gynecologists, and facilitate continuous learning to advance knowledge, practice, and professionalism in women’s health.

Obstetrics and gynecology (OB-GYN) is the medical specialty that encompasses the two subspecialties of obstetrics (covering pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period) and gynecology (covering the health of the female reproductive system – vagina, uterus, ovaries, and breasts). An obstetrician-gynecologist specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases and disorders that affect women, such as breast cancer, cervical cancer, and menopause. Additionally, they work with expecting mothers throughout their pregnancies, during childbirth, and into postpartum.
