Originally from Longmont, CO, Dr. Houghton is one of the lucky few that always knew what he wanted to become after high school. Dr. Houghton did his undergraduate studies at Colorado State University where he graduated Magna Cum Laude. From there he attended medical school at St. Louis University in Missouri, an Anesthesiology residency at University of Michigan and a Pain Fellowship at Massachusetts General in Boston.
After finishing his education, Dr. Houghton was happy to return to the mountains and came back to Colorado, settling in New Castle.
Outside of his practice, Dr. Houghton enjoys everything Colorado has to offer, from camping and hiking to expressing his culinary creativity in the kitchen.
