Denver-Vail Orthopedics Patient Testimonials

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the staff and physicians at Denver - Vail Orthopedics. I have been a patient there for nearly 7 years. I have always been greeted warmly and professionally by every member of the staff. I have seen Dr. Motz for several joint problems - I even told him when we met, that I had enough joints for him to take care of that I would probably be able to help send his kids to college!!! He laughed then, but now after 2 arthroscopies, a rotator cuff repair and numerous injections, I think he is starting to believe me! I also see Dr. Hess. You see, after Dr. Motz exhausted all efforts to help my joints along, the next step was to the king of joint replacements! I have had my right hip and left knee replaced by this wonderful man with excellent results. We are nursing my right knee and left hip along right now, but I have all the confidence in the world in Dr. Hess. I must not forget to mention the wonderful staff that I have been in contact with, from the front desk to the assistants of the doctors. Peggy is just awesome and so are Adrienne and Marita. Jax, Dr. Hess’ assistant is the warmest, most wonderful person to talk to. Bernie, Dr. Motz' assistant is just as valuable. Then there is Diane that shared her opinion of vacation spots with me. Sometimes when I go there, I feel like the character Norm from Cheers....everyone yells ‘Hey Bev, what's happening?!’. Just recently, Marita saw me coming and filled the candy dish! Denver Vail Orthopedics is a wonderful, professional office that can take care of all your joint needs at any level. I tell everyone that I know about this place and even handed out cards on Election Day when I overheard someone talking about knee pain! Give them a visit; you will be treated like royalty by all you come in contact with!!!

Sincerely,
Beverly

“When I was 18 years old I was bucked off a horse and fractured my pelvis in four places. At the age of thirty-seven, the pain and instability of my hip became more than I could bear. I contacted the doctors at Denver-Vail Orthopedics, P.C. and was scheduled for total hip replacement. At the time of the surgery, I was in charge of the health and welfare of 18,000 head of cattle in a feed lot. I spent 6-12 hours a day riding horses. I was back at work and on horseback just 7.5 weeks after the total hip replacement. I have and still do continue to ride horses and break colts eight years after the surgery. I am very active; I am a part-time farrier, avid big-game hunter and weight lifter. I have put the new hip to the ultimate test and it has held up wonderfully. I have been bucked off several horses since and have landed directly on the hip with no effects on it. I live my life as if the hip replacement had never been done and unless I tell people they would never know I had a new hip. The surgery brought back my quality of life and I thank the doctors and staff for the quality of care and medical treatment I received. I go in yearly for a checkup and am always greeted by smiling faces that remember me by name. I have and will continue to recommend people to get the replacement done if necessary and I always recommend Denver-Vail Orthopedics.”
