Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Nice Work
Dr. Joseph stayed late to repair my broken clavicle after a pretty serious biking accident. The pain was immense and the surgery helped immensely. After six weeks I hardly have a scar and an healing up nicely. Thanks Dr. J!

Missed an obvious diagnosis
With the MRI scan and report in front of him, he diagnosed "nerve pain" when it was obvious to 3 other orthopedists, a CNP, and my wife (not a doctor or nurse) that my hip joint was severely deteriorated, there was a fracture, and I needed a hip replacement. Cost me weeks of my life in pain.

I became a patient of Dr Joseph’s when I broke my ankle and tibial plateau this past December. He is one of the best orthopedic Docs ( I’ve had quite a few) I’ve had. His beads use manner is superb, skills excellent and being able to speak in layman’s terms put me at ease when I was in a lot of pain and knew I needed surgery. His entire staff is amazing as well! I would highly recommend him!

I chose Dr. Joseph because of his experience and reputation of being one of the best. He scoped both of my knees to repair torn meniscus', same day. My results with Dr. Joseph were excellent. The before/during/after care was excellent and the staff was great. My recovery was simple ad mostly pain free, and I was walking same day. I highly recommend Dr. Joseph and his staff, even if you have to travel a couple hours to see him. As a bonus, once the bandages were removed the scar line was so small and clean it was hardly noticeable at day 7, very very impressive.

Dr Joseph is fantastic, down to earth, explains things so you understand exactly, listens and very skilled and knowledgeable. His PA’s Annie and Matt were wonderful, along with his RN Kim. From the staff at the front desk to the staff checking you out, everyone was kind, polite and helpful.

We had an outstanding experience after a thumb injury on the ski slopes. Meticulous attention, a careful exam, and an openness to extensively discuss options for treatment. As a physician myself, I was extremely satisfied with our care. The staff was equally welcoming and helpful.

From the front office to his care, this might be the worst medical practice in Colorado. Most importantly, Dr. Joseph couldn't get the surgery right. I had to have the exact same one done with Steadman Hawkins. The front office at Vail Summit is horrible. If you value your knee stay away from this guy.
