I've been a patient at Colorado Center of Orthopedic Excellence for years. See Dr.Purcell at the…read moreResearch Office. He has performed two knee replacement surgeries for me. Now looking at shoulder surgery with him. Matt his PA and Katie is MA are very caring. From many of the other reviews I have read from my own experience when I leave a message they usually tell you to give them 24 hours. I have always received great care at Colorado Center of Orthopedic Excellence.

My daughter and I had a very upsetting experience with Shannon Constantinides. From the moment we…read morebegan explaining the history of my daughter's knee injury, I was met with a dismissive attitude and zero bedside manner. Instead of listening, she was short, cold, and visibly irritated that I was trying to provide context for the injury. When my daughter told her that the exam was hurting and the pressure on her knee was too much, Shannon actually pressed harder. I was shocked. To make matters worse, the exam room at their south location had at least 20 dead flies on the floor and windowsill, extremely unhygienic and unacceptable in a medical facility. We left feeling mistreated and very upset. I called immediately to request a different provider and to speak with a manager about how unprofessional the appointment was. Instead of addressing anything we reported, they mailed us a letter saying they were "parting ways" with us. That tells you everything you need to know about how they handle complaints. While that is perfectly fine, we had already decided to seek care elsewhere, the lack of professionalism in how it was handled truly says it all. Be aware of the treatment you may receive here. Our experience was extremely disappointing from start to finish.

I'm so glad a friend recommended me to come here. I can't emphasize enough how attentive, caring,…read morekind, and organized this place is. My friend and I have both been extremely happy with the services we have received. One of the best things about coming here is their friendly staff. Mandy, Heather, and Vanessa are some of the sweetest and most caring people people you will find in a doctors office. They're so friendly and really make you feel welcome and comfortable. It's clear they care and really enjoy their job. I don't think there's a better place in the Springs to get the treatment you need. I definitely recommend giving this place a shot. You won't be disappointed!

I walked into…read morewhat I thought was his office and the receptionist was a bit rude and said I was at the wrong desk. So I went to the other desk, which was in a completely separate office space. I checked in then sat and waited 30mins past my appointment time, then finally got called back to a room where they asked for a urine sample (which was for a drug test which wasn't told to me up front). After I gave a sample they sat me down with a technician in a room with other patients and proceeded to ask me my medical information in front of everyone! HIPPA violation much? Then I was placed in an exam room, where a doctor other than Bissell came in and talked about a plan for PM. I initially booked future appointments but ended up cancelling bc as I went through my day, my gut said request a new care manager. Good thing, because I received a bill that was clearly not billed through the VA/TRIWEST. What a disaster of a place!!! Go elsewhere.

I just spent the last 8 months here (at least it felt like it). I was recovering from a car…read moreaccident and needed additional treatment so I was referred by my chiropractor. I've heard great things about Orthopedic Rehab in general- they have a lot of locations- this location is really good. My physical therapist was Micah. He is very good. He also does dry needling and I felt like he did very well with that- he explained everything and normalized the process and was in tune and sensitive with how I was handling it. Micah is smart and knows what he is doing. You spend some time with your physical therapist and then have techs and assistants who walk you through your exercises and treatments. Overall I appreciated each one who worked with me. One tech in particular seemed distant and I felt like he shamed me when I arrived at the wrong time for an appointment (I'm not convinced that was my fault) and that really bothered me. But the people working are personable, caring and knowledgable. Their equipment is good and I enjoyed observing the interactions with other patients and among the team. There are TV's in the rehab area and I got a real kick out of how into The Price Is Right the staff seemed each time I was there. :) I had frustrations with scheduling. I think about 30% of the time (and I went A LOT and for A LONG TIME) there were mistakes made with my scheduling- either the day, time, which treatment I was having, or even the therapist I was seeing. I think improvements need to be made in their scheduling system. The front desk staff, especially more recently, are warm and on top of things. This office has recently added services for women's health which I think is awesome. They don't take my insurance (Aetna) but they were fair in their prices which I respected. The owner/manager of this location, Chad, is extremely personable and seems like a good leader. There were some times I felt like the staff were giving up on me, indifferent to me, distracted or maybe even a little uncommitted. I think that could have been because I was a patient longer than most other people, and maybe my own discouragement that I wasn't getting enough better rubbed off on them. Overall, though, my experience was positive and I will highly recommend this location of Orthopedic Rehab.

This place was easy to find with ample parking near the entrance. I was greeted upon arrival and…read morechecked in promptly; they were not to crowded but, getting their patients in and out in a timely fashion. I waited maybe about 5 minutes before being called to the back for my appointment. Was very nice and polite. She asked all the questions and put everything into my chart. She said Dr. Howarth would be in shortly. I waited about 10/15mins. Dr. Howarth finally came in. He was just as nice as always. We talked about how I was feeling fatigued, the pain in the groin area and the muscle spasms I have at night. We also discussed the physical therapy and how that was going. Let me know to get me some magnesium to help with what I got going on. I'm satisfied with the surgery and everything that has happened so far. So no complaints on my part. I do recommend him to family and friends. I got a chance to see Taneisha on my way out. She's one of the bestest. She made sure durning this process I got to get everything that was needed to help with recovery and healing... All I Can say is his staff "ROCKS"!!! Keep up the good work ladies:-)

My wife got so ill, I had to take her to the emergency room. The emergency room doctor; Dr. Crawford; ran tests and indicated the joint looked infected. He called in the standby surgeon to open the wound, clean it out and do a revision (Replace the socket lining and the ball. My wife had to spend five days in St. Francis hospital recovering and was placed on infusion treatments for six weeks after discharge. She just completed the forth week. This has been a nightmare for Suzanne and I. We don't know what the outcome will be. Type of care was poor. Quality was poor. Office experience gave us the impression that the staff could careless. If I had not taken her to the ER and waited until the delayed post OP follow up, the infection could have gone into her blood stream and infected her whole body. This is what the nurse who helped with the procedure that confirmed the infected hip.
