    Suggestions for Orthopaedic surgeon

    Have to get my knee looked at again. I saw someone a while back in California. I travel a lot so I can go to just about anyone. I've got a torn meniscus so far, but its got some other problems as well. Anyone know of some good orthopaedics docs?

    Well, after fucking around with some orthopedic doctor in Boulder for some 3 odd years, I finally said fuck it and went to see Dr. Steadman. In about five minutes they diagnosed the problem (something the previous doc was unable to do, even with an MRI), confirmed the diagnosis with an MRI, and scheduled me for surgery.

    So, my vote goes to the Steadman Hawkins clinic. They have a couple knee docs-you probably can't go wrong with any of them.
    A lot of people earn their turns. Some just get bigger checks.

    Hospital For Special Surgery in New York City. #2 ranked Ortho shop behind the Mayo clinic in Minnesota. It would be a hike for you but they did an amazing job on my knee last year.
