Boulder Orthopedics PC

These guys are great. Dr. Rector hs been around for a long time and knows his stuff. I would trust him with my life.

I came in for a stress fracture in my left foot. Having worked intake at a similar clinic as a front desk administrator, I was a little struck at the lack of professionalism by the staff, but they were definitely friendly. (The doctor, however, was outstanding.) After the appointment, I checked into their patient portal to review my charts, and was shocked to see that the notes listed by the intake nurse were completely incorrect — My pain was in the top of my left foot, but she notated that it had been pain in my right ankle. The notes she took on our verbal interaction had large pieces of information that were generally correct, but missing key essentials. She said I had been running on the pained foot for weeks, which I had not — It also noted that the pain ran up my ankle, which it did not. It was very clear to me that the charts had been written from memory perhaps a long time after the actual appointment.
Though the staff is friendly, I am much more concerned about accuracy than friendliness when it comes to my health. I later emailed them and they corrected the charts, but I was too nervous to go back, especially considering that I intentionally spent twice the amount as my normal deductible to see a «specialist.» Not a bad place, but be wary that all of your information is notated correctly!

I had read some awful reviews about Boulder Orthopedics and was prepared for the worst. One review said that the office staff in Boulder was awful, oh, contrare, They checked me in swiftly and were very pleasant. I then watched the office staff repeatedly come out into the small waiting area to help a disabled patient straighten out her insurance information and check in.
Dr Voss was late about 20 minutes coming to see me. I can’t find fault with this as his schedule was thrown out the window as he was helping cast a woman with a horrible compound break. If the PA shudders when she recounts this, you _​know_​it was bad.
I was prepared for a surgeon that was all for jumping in and doing surgery. What I found was a refreshing surprise. We listed everything we should do, 99% of which I’d already done. He then suggested a very simple test involving nothing more than a shot of novacaine. We haven’t figured out the problem yet, but as this is the 4^th physician I’ve seen about my injury and the first that had any diagnostic ideas, I’m pleased. His listening skills really seem to be excellent, no jumping to conlcusion and he listened to everything I said.

I met with Dr. Stilp in September about a sharp back pain I had started having a few days prior. I had been experiencing other back pain for the past two years and was hoping that she would look at my overall back health and not just focus in on the immediate issue. She did not. After 3 weeks of minimal improvement, she prescribed an MRI. I had the MRI two weeks and 3 days ago and have still never heard back from Dr. Stilp regarding the results. I have called her office twice and spoken directly with her nurse who said they would call me back. Nada. Very unprofessional.

I broke my leg in mid-​January. I suppose I should feel fortunate that I managed to avoid this kind of injury for 61 years. However, at the time, one feels annoyed, inconvenienced, and well, crippled. I had no idea what to expect or how to deal with this. Dr. Paul made me feel a lot better about my long-​term prognosis and help allay my concerns that were based on my lack of experience with an injury like this. At my first visit, I knew what to expect, and how long beach step of healing would take. A week after my fall, he installed a screw in my leg. It’s now been several weeks, and said screw is to be removed in 9 days. I’ve started Physical Therapy and x-​rays show my broken bones are healing well. In fact, Dr. Paul has allowed me to start riding a stationary bike.
The staff here is accustomed to dealing with a wide range of patients, from regular people to Olympic athletes. They treat everyone as if they are the only patient in the building, and have been very helpful and patient. I hope anyone reading this never has to deal with a similar injury; but if you do, this is THE place to go for world-​class care.
