Hi, we’re Larry and Ron.
We’ve been good friends for years. And we push each other to be active every day.
But we’ve both been challenged with back pain that limited our active outdoor
lifestyles. We wanted solutions, so we turned to the experts at
OrthoColorado Hospital. The world–class surgeons and care
team at OrthoColorado gave us our lives back. Thanks to
them, we’re back to enjoying Colorado’s outdoors.

At OrthoColorado Hospital, we are dedicated to providing
orthopedic patients and their families a truly remarkable
experience, and COVID-19 has not changed that. From
the moment you enter our doors, your safety is our
top concern. We are following CDC guidelines and
have taken all the necessary steps to protect the
wellbeing of our patients, staff, and visitors.
Trust OrthoColorado Hospital
to get you back to the life you love.
