My name is Joshua Beckman, and I am a board-certified neurosurgeon at NeurosurgeryOne in Denver, Colorado. I joined NeurosurgeryOne in 2021 after completing my military service at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, TX where I served as Vice Chair of Neurosurgery and Director of Spine Surgery and Spinal Oncology. I am incredibly honored to have served my country and to have cared for some of the bravest men and women I have ever known. At NeurosurgeryOne, I specialize in the full spectrum of spinal procedures, treating conditions ranging from degenerative disc disease and spinal stenosis to complex spinal deformities and tumors. Most recently, I was honored to be named a 2025 “Top Doctor” by 5280 Magazine, a recognition that reflects our commitment to excellence in patient care.
One aspect that makes my practice unique is my passion for both motion-preserving/minimally invasive procedures and complex spinal deformity surgery. These two ends of the surgical spectrum could not be more different, and I joke with my team that scheduling swings from “microsurgery mode” to “all-hands-on-deck” every week. This dichotomy was born out of necessity during my military service, where preserving motion and function was critical for pilots and soldiers to continue their careers. But we also needed to treat complex acute trauma to maintain readiness skills and degenerative deformity conditions for the retired military population. Being able to perform both types of procedures at a high level allows me to tailor care to each individual patient rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all solution.
I truly love what I do, especially the opportunity to help patients overcome debilitating pain and get back to their lives. Another aspect of my role that I value deeply is working with an outstanding team. The people at NeurosurgeryOne were a big part of what drew me to this practice – everyone here is exceptionally professional, supportive, and willing to help each other. In a highly competitive market like Denver, it’s rare to find a group that feels so collaborative, and it has been a great fit for me personally.
I recently joined NERVES in 2025 after taking on a larger leadership role within our practice. My goal is to help bridge the growing gap between physicians and administrators. I firmly believe that when we work together and learn how to speak the same language, we can accomplish great things. My experience with NERVES thus far has been outstanding. The community is responsive, collaborative, and welcoming, and I have been impressed by how quickly members engage to help solve real-world problems. My administrative interests include coding, insurance authorization processes, operational efficiency, leadership development, and organizational growth, and I see NERVES as a valuable forum for advancing those efforts. I thank all of the members for being so helpful.
Outside of work, I am the first to admit that being a busy neurosurgeon and practice leader leaves limited time for personal activities. I have an amazing wife and a five-year-old daughter who keeps us very busy, and I try to spend as much of my free time as possible being present with my family. When time allows, we enjoy mountain hiking and camping, taking advantage of everything Colorado has to offer. That time away from work is invaluable and helps keep me grounded, both professionally and personally.
