Dr. Ted Parks was the best doctor I have ever experienced in my life. In 2014, he was my surgeon for bilateral hip replacements, three months apart. Each surgery was done so well; and I have had lasting satisfaction and a grateful heart for such an incredibly intelligent person and a top-notch surgeon. Dr. Parks' bedside manner was outstanding, calling me the evening after I returned home from each surgery.
I cannot thank Dr. Parks enough, and I am grateful for his extremely personable bedside manner, his professional and humble approach, and for the successful results I had from two surgeries. I am beyond grateful.

I scheduled my appointment for my left knee and my right shoulder. When I got to the appt the MA told me that Dr Baran would only see me for my knee because that is how it was scheduled and if I wanted him to check my shoulder I would need to schedule another appt. I told them that I did not need x-rays because I was seen in ER at St Joes and they did x-rays but Dr Baran Insisted on getting more x-rays. When Dr cane into room he started by having me raise my arms above My head and put my arms behind my back ( after he said he would not evaluate my shoulder), I then told him that I worked at St Joes and he basically said he could not see me or do anything for me because of my insurance and because I work at St Joes. It was a waste of my time and his! very disappointing!!!!

Please add this to my testimonial to Dr. Sears in May of this year. I should have added it back in May.

Dr. Bazar was great! He treated me as a person, he not only showed me my MRI but explained what we were looking at. He then told me my options, he then asked for any questions I might have. Then I was able to decide which course of options I wanted. He is warm, funny and approachable. All in all a great experience.

Dr. Ben Sears is an excellent surgeon. He restored full movement in my right shoulder after a tennis accident in 2014 when I was 74 and in my left shoulder after a pickleball accident in 2023 when I was 83. In both cases, I had torn my rotator cuff and severed several tendons. Sincere thanks to you, Dr. Ben.

On 12/8/21 Dr. Hatzidakis performed a total shoulder reversal, and proximal bicep tendon repair. I've waited a while to post this feedback because I wanted to put some wear and tear on the shoulder. I was 53 when the surgery took place and I'm 55 now. I went in with pretty much every rotator cuff tendon gone beyond repair, in addition to the bicep tendon tear. You know you've done a good job when Dr. Hatzidakis congratulates you on a job well done. All I can say is I was in pain daily, I made pain my ally for as long as I could. To now be pain free I can't say enough about how Thankful I am to Dr. Hatz and his staff! I would let him do my right shoulder tomorrow if he asked. I was given an incredable amount of infromation pre and post surgery, every question was answered in detail. Dr. Hatz is referred to as the best shoulder guy for a reason! When it comes to post op my advise is that you follow his instruction. Once I started physical therapy I did my stretching exercises 5-7 days a week. Once I could start resistance therapy I bought some bands to use at home. To this day I still stretch and perform focused exercises to build strenght and flexation. Dr. Hatz gave me my arm back, I can't express the amount of gratitude I have for him and his team.

I am writing to express how pleased, in fact, thrilled with Dr. Hatzidakis and his team!
I recently had 2 very complicated and involved right shoulder surgeries to reconstruct this joint. The first surgery, August 13, 2022, involved doing a bone graft to improve the integrity of my right scapula. It also involved implanting humeral (ball) component of the reverse shoulder replacement. The second, February 13, 2023, involved implanting the glenoid (cup) component.
I am thrilled to report at 14 months post both surgeries I am doing phenomenally well!. I have nearly full range of motion, no pain/no swelling, and have regained nearly 80% of my muscle strength compared to pre surgery levels.
In short, Dr. Hatz and his Team are terrific! As far as I am concerned, Dr. Hatz and his team are the best kept orthopedic secret in Denver, possibly, the entire US. Dr. Hatz is a superb orthopedic surgeon. He is clearly focused on achieving the best possible surgical outcome. He has terrific bedside manner, listens to his patients' concerns, exudes reassuring confidence, and has a wonderful pleasant and friendly manner.
I also am certain I would not have gotten the surgical results I received without Dr. Hatz' dedicated Team. PA s, Rose Christensen and Tyler Holm and MS s Dianna, Ty, and Hunter all are reliable, knowledgeable, and professional.
I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Dr. Hatz and his Team. I recommend this practice to you without reservation.

Out of blue, I had a serious and painful cervical spine injury. I was given Dr. Eby’s name, thank goodness! My husband and I were able to meet with Dr. Eby before surgery. Despite the fact that he is very busy, he took the time to prepare us for what this procedure looked like before and after. We appreciated this, it certainly helped us get organized. Post op, he has been available to answer questions and offer support for any concerns. I will recommend Dr.Eby to anyone with spine issues. For me, he is the best!!

My appointment with Dr. Baran was a five-star experience. I found Dr. Baran to be affable, informative, and professional. I was in and out in 45 minutes which included x-rays. I strongly recommend Western Orthopedics for orthopedic care.

I had a distal bicep tendon rupture that needed surgical repair. The E.R. staff recommended Western Ortho and they were able to see me on short notice. I couldn't be more grateful that I lucked into Dr. Sears and his team. Dr. Sears has been incredible through my surgery and recovery. His knowledge, skill, and experience gave me peace of mind throughout the process. He's taken the time to get to know me and has been very attentive to my progress in healing. I highly recommend him and Western Orthopaedics to anyone in need. Thanks Dr. Sears!

I am an 83 year-old woman who recently had a hip replacement performed by Dr. Baran. It was a procedure I put off for years from fear; I could not have been more wrong. I think now of the years I walked in pain that could have been corrected. Dr. Baran's personal style is warm, friendly, personable, and professional. He and his staff accommodated events that were unfolding in my personal life and provided comfort and assurance through the whole process. The pain that I feared only lasted about ten days as the incision healed and was minor compared to what I had been living with for years. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Baran and his total team for giving me a pain-free later life. The nurses in the recovery ward were also sweet and caring - above and beyond what was necessary for my care. They were genuinely interested in and seemed to enjoy hearing of my unusual life.
