PERSONAL HISTORY
When he is not in the office or the operating room, Dr. Archibald enjoys spending time in the outdoors with his wife and five children, crossing more national parks off their list. His preferred modes of transportation are a bike going up a hill and skis going down a hill.
Dr. Archibald grew up in Boise, Idaho, with a three-year stint in Germany during his middle school years, where he began his study of the German language. As a young man, he achieved the rank of Eagle Scout, which instilled a lifelong passion for outdoor activities.
After a year at Brigham Young University, Dr. Archibald returned to Europe (and to the German language) to serve a two-year, full-time church mission in Austria. He then graduated from Brigham Young University with a degree in neuroscience. One of the highlights of his undergraduate experience was a six-month study abroad program in Jerusalem.
Before attending medical school, Dr. Archibald decided to spend a year as a science teacher at an at-risk high school in Colorado Springs. This experience deepened his respect for the wonderful educators all over the country who dedicate themselves to such a meaningful profession.
Dr. Archibald attended four years of medical school at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota where he remained for another five years to complete his residency in otolaryngology – head and neck surgery. After nine frigid Minnesota winters, he finally got to thaw out for a year in Tampa, Florida, as he finished his training with a fellowship in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery.
In 2014, the Archibald family dusted off their skis and moved to Colorado to be closer to family and the mountains. Dr. Archibald is committed to helping underserved medical communities, including medical mission trips to Central America.
