Living in the middle of one of the most active sports populations in the United States we have designed our medical practice to meet the unique needs of amateur and professional athletes in terms of a fully integrated approach to injury repair and healthy recovery. Because we have worked intensely with athletic related injuries for over 25 years we bring a deep history of experience to every case.
The Physicians at Vail • Summit Orthopaedics believe our most important job is to educate patients about their problem. What is it? How did I get it? How do I get rid of it? How can I keep it from coming back? We recognize that every individual's situation and reaction to an injury is unique.

Our philosophy is to provide each of our patients with a customized treatment plan tailored to their individual needs. Our first choice, when possible, is a non-operative treatment plan of physical therapy and medication. If surgery is necessary, however, you are in great hands at Vail • Summit Orthopaedics. Our doctors are among the most experienced in the country in the field of sports medicine and orthopaedic surgery and have been serving the needs of our mountain sports enthusiasts since 1979.
