“Dr. Shah was nice and very well informed… and the specially trained orthopaedic nurses provided a superior level of care. I had such a great experience with my Total Knee Replacement at Front Range Orthopedics & Spine outpatient surgery center, that I can’t wait to get my other knee replaced…”

“After only 3 months, I am very thankful to be back living again! It’s even nice to be back at work.”

“I had a great experience when going through a hip replacement in January. Dr. Shah is very professional as well as his staff plus team at the hospital. If I need another surgery in the future, I will go to Dr. Shah.”
