Orthocolorado Hospital at St Anthony Med Campus

I just had surgery at ortho Colorado and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the call the day before to ensure I didn’t have questions, to nurses holding my hand waking up from anesthesia to the letter they sent me after. Everyone I encountered was supportive and made the whole
Process easier on both me and my parents.

Warm and inviting hospital with friendly and professional staff. My brother came all the way from Chicago to have his spine surgery here and was very impressed. Said it was definitely worth the trip out. He left a new person thanks to everyone on his team!

I needed a total shoulder replacement and Dr. Schneider assured me he could do it. Aware it would be brutal surgery, I was told I'd be given a block before awakening, besides the anesthesia. It didn't happen. I awoke thrashing & in pure hell. Instead of being discharged the next day, I was in 3 days but nothing relieved the pain. In addition, I was given an unnecessary catherization. By Sunday night I was discharged without pain meds - their pharm was closed. I'd been thru absolute hell and just wanted out of OCH. Little did I know my situation would get worse...months of post surg pain & an inability to use my arm led to many second orthopedists' evals. I was repeatedly told my shoulder was a mess. The horror was learning I needed extensive surgery for a second shoulder replacement. It was performed less than a year later by the one surgeon I found who could do the surgery . OCH cost me a nightmare of excruciating pain and the extended horror of needing a 2nd shoulder replacement to correct the 1st.

Incredible experience here. The staff was warm and welcoming as soon as we walked in. I was so nervous to get my ankle surgery. They made sure to comfort me. I don't recover like a regular person. Thry made it a smooth positive recovery for me.

My husband had his hip resurfaced here. The surgery was a success and we have been incredibly impressed by the level of care and the very compassionate and supportive nursing staff. Great facility too.
