HORRIBLE! Boulder Centre for Orthopedics & Spine is the most frustrating experience I've had with a…read moremedical practice! I came from Utah thinking CO would be as flawless. Foolish me. Before my appointment, my UT surgeon promptly emailed my knee MRI/records to ensure a proper evaluation, even calling me to confirm it was done. Awesome! Yet, during my consultation, Dr. Igolnikov and his assistant insisted they were never received. While there, I call UT, they confirm - again - with the day/time records were emailed. I'm directed to the front desk. No luck. I state I'm not leaving until they find the email (their eyes rolling), which two desk gals finally did 30min later (my eyes rolling). No apology. Just defensive excuses. Who hires these people?! Unfortunately, I still had to pay for a wasted visit. Billing department was no better. They required I prepaid for my self-pay appointment ($378). I did. Yet, a week later I received an emailed bill for $411 due. A few weeks later the same bill arrived by mail. I called billing and was told, they had overlooked my payment. The repeated administrative failures involving both medical records and billing - is unacceptable! Since they struggle with fundamentals, obviously I have no confidence in the organization and am not into "hoping" things will change at the risk of my time, money, and most importantly - my knees. I will not return.

I was referred to Dr. James Rector at Boulder Orthopedics (BoulderCentre for Orthopedics) ten years…read moreago by another orthopedic center in the Vail Valley. As a highly active forty-four year-old rock climber and triathlete, I was diagnosed with severe osteoarthritis in my left hip. I continued to do sports at a high level; however, my pain became increasingly difficult to manage, and I eventually reached out to Dr. Rector to discuss treatment options. He recommended Birmingham Hip Resurfacing (BHR) as the best procedure for my specific condition. It was extremely important to me that my surgeon understood my post goal surgical objective was to continue with a high level of activity as quickly as practical. I communicated my objectives to Dr. Rector, and we set goals to support my intentions. In October 2009, Dr. Rector performed Birmingham Hip Resurfacing surgery on my left hip with outstanding results. I immediately experienced relief from pain, and subsequently regained full range of motion. I returned to rock climbing and competing in triathlons within a year after my surgery. Six years after my BHR, I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in my right hip, and in September 2015 Dr. Rector performed total hip replacement surgery on my right side. Once again my pain was almost immediately relieved, and my range of motion was virtually perfect. I was climbing in the gym eight weeks after surgery, biking at ten weeks, and running pain free eight months post operatively. At one year, my physical condition has returned 100 percent, and I have no restrictions on any of my former and present activities. I highly recommend Dr. Rector and his team at BoulderCentre for Orthopedics. I found and continue to feel that Dr. Rector treated me with extreme professionalism, and obviously I have complete trust and faith in his work. He and his team are dedicated, talented individuals committed to the health and welfare of their patients. I refer to Dr. Rector as my "Hero," and the elation that I feel rock climbing, running, and biking pain free is immeasurable. Most importantly he has helped me reacquire my former quality of life!

The clinic that I was using to treat the pain was not very effective. I was looking for a second opinion on the existing treatment plan, and possibly a new clinic. The doc I was assigned for this second opinion did not listen to me. She was focussed on delivering treatments. Her assistant was not professional, and ghosted me on a followup video teleconference. BEWARE!

They will not, by the way.

I was diagnosed with an AC joint injury, xray and physical exam confirmed it. Doc gave me two options, a anti-inflammatory cream or a cortisone shot, I HATE needles so opted for the cream. He wrote up the prescription but also gave me the look and said something that made gave me the feeling that he knew I'd be back in a week or two. He was right, cream was barely working and dried the skin so much I got a rash. Went back for the cortisone shot, he and the staff were GREAT, area prep was solid, little bit of cold numbing agent applied and Mccarty was able to give me the injection without the need for xray guidance and virtually painless. Smooth operator for sure. Only been a week with the cortisone so I have yet to try any push (bench, military press, etc) related weight lifting, but will update once the cortisone is in full effect .

I went in after work and was told I just had a sprain. I was shown how to use the crutches, which was incorrect. Had my crutches set up in correctly and was given a boot for a sprain. I complained about the pain and feeling unable to walk on my foot several times. The way they showed me to use crutches was to put partial pressure on my foot and walk that way. Because I complained about the pain they said they could get me in for a CT scan. 2. I went for the CT scan and 2 hours after the scan was called for an emergency Dr apt. I was told I had broken my foot. I was told to continue using the crutches and continue using the boot for a sprain. The way I had been taught to use crutches had me putting partial pressure on my foot to walk. 3. I was supposed to see the Orthopedist on Friday but because my employer failed to approve the claim they had to cancel that and the rest of my appointments. 4. I work things out with my employer over the weekend and then get my orthopedist apt on the following Tuesday, this is 6 days after my injury mind you. They did an xray to make sure the bone had not moved and it did move. I was told at that apt that I was wearing a generic boot mostly for a sprain and they immediately got me into a boot for a broken foot. The Boulder clinic is better than the Thorton clinic but I will never be going to a CONCENTRA AGAIN! Peak is way better, more friendly, cleaner and nicer facility and seem very interested is helping the patient to the best of their ability. I think if I had gone to Peak in the first place none of this would have happened.
