Magdalene Dobija — Maggie to her patients — is a Physician Assistant in Pain Management at Mountain View Pain Center, seeing patients at Northglenn. She practiced in OB/GYN before pain medicine, which is a specialty where pain is common and frequently under-investigated. No referral is needed for Pain Management, Chiropractic, Physical Therapy or Acupuncture, and our goal is to get you in within the same week.
University of Colorado Boulder - Bachelor of Arts and Science in Integrative Physiology. South University West Palm Beach – Master of Physician Assistant Studies. Maggie is a Physician Assistant who grew up in Broomfield, CO and attended CU Boulder for her undergraduate studies where she obtained a Bachelor of Arts and Science in Integrative Physiology. She later went on to receive her Master's in Physician Assistant Studies at South University in West Palm Beach, Florida. She worked as a Physician Assistant in OB/Gyn before transitioning to Pain Management. She enjoys spending time with her dogs, skiing, traveling, and reading.
Maggie worked as a Physician Assistant in OB/GYN before transitioning to Pain Management. It is a useful place to have come from, because it is a specialty where a great deal of pain presents, much of it chronic, and where patients — women in particular — are used to having it attributed to something vague and left there.
The practical effect is a low tolerance for an unexamined complaint. Low back and pelvic-girdle pain that started in pregnancy or never settled afterwards is a real and treatable category, not a thing to be waited out, and it responds to the same discipline as any other pain problem: work out which structure is producing it, then treat that.
Where the pelvic floor itself is involved, pelvic floor physical therapy is available within the practice rather than as an outside referral. Her first degree is in integrative physiology, which is the study of how the body’s systems work together — an apt background for a field where they rarely go wrong one at a time.
The conditions she sees are lower back pain, neck pain, sciatica and nerve pain, herniated discs, arthritis and joint pain, hip pain, knee pain, shoulder pain, peripheral neuropathy and headaches and migraines.
Maggie’s visits start with an examination and a diagnosis. Her first job is working out which structure is generating the pain, because that is what decides the plan — and imaging you bring is read alongside the examination rather than in place of it.
Northglenn is one of our four procedure clinics, so epidural steroid injections, nerve blocks, joint injections, trigger point injections and radiofrequency ablation are performed in office there.
Physical Therapy, Chiropractic and Acupuncture are in the same building, so where the answer is rehabilitation rather than a needle it is a handover rather than another referral and another wait.

At our Northglenn clinic. Northglenn is one of the four clinics where image-guided procedures are performed in office, so an evaluation and the procedure that may follow it happen in the same building.

Yes, and it is a great deal more common than the amount of attention it usually gets. Low back and pelvic-girdle pain that began in pregnancy can persist for years, and it is not something to be waited out. It is assessed the same way as any other pain problem — work out which structure is producing it, then treat that — and where the pelvic floor is involved, pelvic floor physical therapy is available within the practice.
Day or night, seven days a week — and we’ll text you back to get you scheduled. No referral is needed, and our goal is to see you within the same week. Colorado scheduling: (720) 749-5599.
