I was seen by Dr. Kruse several months ago for my right ankle. I had sprained it several times…read moreplaying football as a teenager and have been having constant pain. I have seen several other doctors throughout Denver, including a very large orthopedic practice, in the past and have had my share of bracing, xrays, and physical therapy. The pain never seemed to go away though. When I first saw Dr. Kruse I was very skeptical because of how young he looks; but after a more than thorough exam and education appointment I was felt confident that he would make me pain-free for the first time in years. We started with some shots and then moved quickly to an MRI. The MRI showed that I had a small piece of damaged cartilage in the ankle that probably has been sitting there for years. He taught me alot about what was the problem and gave me both conservative and surgical options. I have had other orthopedic surgeries in the past and this was the first time that I truly understood what was going to be done in surgery and I didn't feel pressured to schedule it with him. After discussing the options with my family (and multiple phone calls to the doctor for clarification) I went through with surgery which was all done through a scope. I had multiple appointments after the surgery to ensure that all was going as planned and 6 months later, I am pain-free and back to doing all the foolish things us Coloradans can do to hurt ourselves! I am very happy with my choice of Doctors and would not hesitate to refer anyone to Dr. Kruse.

Dr. Gradisek did me a huge disservice. Surgery on my foot in the outcome was very unsatisfactory…read more He bragged that he had done work with the Chicago Bulls basketball team. I find it very hard to believe with his lack of skill. He placed a device in my foot and it backed out halfway. When I went back to him, he basically told me that there was really nothing he could do and that as long as I didn't have pain, it should be fine. You should've refunded the entire cost of my surgery and offered to redo his work. If you care about your feet, I would suggest you stay far away from this doctor.

Outstandingly Caring & Experienced Physician Over the past…read moretwo years, Dr. Jelinek has invariably provided me with outstanding services. During each visit he has been very attentive to my concerns, answered my questions thoroughly, been extremely generous with his time and resources and -- above all, has delivered extremely supportive and encouraging professional medical care.

Due to genetics and years of running, my feet have been problematic, but Dr. Jelinek has stood by me and helped get me back on my feet any time I have had issues. It was sheer luck that I ended up seeing him after another doctor misdiagnosed my condition years ago. I am fortunate that I have been able to work with someone so knowledgeable and kind. I highly recommend Columbine Foot & Ankle Center. Though Dr. Jelinek is often booked weeks out, any wait time will be worth it, and you can always ask to be put on the cancellation list. The office is very good about calling when someone else cancels an appointment.

I am still healing, and if there is no update to this post-you can assume everything was a grand sucess. I like people whom smile at me when talking discussing etc. Dr. Cameron SMILES, a lot. That to me says a lot without any words being spoken. He truly expresses genuine care, concern asking questions and answering questions with no hesitation and when asking questions is engaged with you personally, and his talking with you shows you respect in every manner. I asked him not to sugar coat, nor lessen the answers, and my telling him I would rather he be extremely blunt. He honored my request, we got to the heart of my complex foot surgery to correct previous surgeries that failed to correct my foot's bones alignment. I signed forms, later received my insurance authorization lighting fast. I was scheduled for surgery, that took place within days not weeks or months. The surgery center is a modestly small venue, located within a building with some other office spaces. I was seen quickly and went through typical paperwork and questions from very personable staff and OR cadre. The anesthesiologist was incredible, very detailed on his questions concerning a deviated windpipe I have. Friendly personable, and he smiles a lot too! The staff was friendly smiled, and very personable and soon after Dr. Cameron came back and marked my surgery sites, I was whisked away into the OR, gently moved to the table, hooked up with sensors, and then the Anesthesiologist said OK here comes the IV sleep injection, and I don't remember anything past that. I remember vaguely waking up, and being hungry. The block on my foot that I asked for had been done while I was asleep. My foot remained blocked for 3 1/2 days, the most hurtful times for surgery pain. This meant I started feeling the pain only while it was almost 4 days old, wearing off. I then took the pain pills as directed. Pain from the surgery only lasted a short time, a week after the block wore off. So now I am pain free from the surgery itself. Now I am experiencing pain only when I walk-It only hurts when I walk. Yes I am having this pain, however its due to unchangeable location of the surgery sites, it cannot be avoided. I am wearing a soft cast-BOOT. About 3 more weeks I can wear shoes again. This was not my first rodeo far from it. However Dr. Cameron and his staff and work associates are all of high caliber ethics, state of art training, incredible surgical magic.
