Any Denver mags know of a good orthopedic doc?
Dr. David Schnieder of conrerstone orthopedic did my knee. I liked the guy, he was straight forwrd with me, layed out the options, and let me choose what I thougt was best.
Thanks, Gorms. I dig their website. Good information on there. I am going to the a doc here in Denver on Thursday. Hopefully the news is good and I don't have anyting seriously wrong with my knee. This guy is not under my insurance so if I do need surgery, I can't use him! :frown:
I just got a hamstring graft done by Dr. David Oster of Denver-Vail Orthopedics. I like him because he is strightforward no-nonsense and he has 2 offices and one happens to be really close to my work. I have never had to wait in the office for more than 10 minutes. Always in and out...very convenoent. And it seems like the surgury went well, but it was only 2 days ago. He is pretty progressive in terms of getting you back on your feet. He told me that I was allowed to walk without crutches as soon as I felt comfortable.
Bumping this old thread for add'l recs for a great orthopedic surgeon in denver/boulder to do an acl reconstruction.
Any thoughts on the best docs in this area and/or if it is worth considering using someone in vail or the mtns instead of the frontrange?
Some recs not mentioned here I have seen are: Dr. Andrew Parker (Orthopedic Assocs.), Dr. Eric McCarty (Boulder SPorts Med), Dr. Eric Stahl (Panorama Ortho), Dr. Cunningham (vail-summit ortho). There are so many docs that do knee surgery so I figured I'd see what those with experience in denver/boulder can recommend.
Thanks in advance!
My coworker just had his PCL surgery by a Doc in Boulder. I will get his name, he came very highly recommended to my coworker, and he was very pleased with him.
Dr. Cunningham with VSO = FTW
My wife has Dr Oster do her ACL a couple years ago. Certainly recommend him. Everything went great and with a relatively pain free process.Quote:

Cunningham X 2
I can recommend Dr. Parker. He's team doc for the Av's, FWIW. He did my shoulder and I did an orthopedic rotation with him in school. He's a great surgeon and also a really nice guy. Some of the team physician's I've encountered have a mightier-than-thou attitude and won't give you the time of day unless you're a pro athlete. Not the case here.Quote:

Bump to see if there are any updated recommendations on Denver Orthopedic Doctors. I took a tumble on Saturday skiing on Berthoud Pass, and yesterday's MRI confirmed an ACL tear and slight meniscus tear. So far I have called into Dr. Parker's office (Orthopedic Associates), but I can't get in there for another 3 weeks.
Come to the mtns....Vail/Summit Orthopedics....Dr Cunningham. Vibes....
