Orthopedic care

Orthopedic doctors, called orthopedists, take care of bones and joints. This includes knee pain, total joint replacement, issues that impact your spine and more. You might need to see an orthopedist if you have arthritis or osteoporosis, or if you've had a recent sprain, strain or broken bone.

In our state-of-the-art Spine & Total Joint Center, we were even the first hospital in South Metro Denver to perform a robot-assisted partial knee resurfacing procedure.

Do your knees or hips hurt?

Evaluating your hip and knee pain is the starting point for getting the care you need. Our assessment can help you understand your joints and what to talk about with your doctor.
