Orthopedic Centers of Colorado

What Orthopedic Centers of Colorado does

Orthopedic Centers of Colorado, LLC is an independent, multi-location orthopedic medical practice headquartered in Denver with additional sites in Aurora and Parker, serving the Colorado front-range population. The practice delivers comprehensive musculoskeletal care across foot and ankle, knee, hip, shoulder, spine, hand, wrist, and elbow surgery, alongside sports medicine, regenerative medicine, shockwave therapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy, sports performance, imaging, and anesthesia services. Its clinical staff includes 38 Castle Connolly Top Doctors (2026) and 15 5280 Magazine Top Doctors (2025), and the group holds the only orthopedic Castle Connolly Center of Excellence designation in Colorado, one of 18 nationally.

The business operates on a fee-for-service clinical model: revenue is generated from surgical procedures, in-office visits, ancillary services (imaging, PT/OT, sports performance), and regenerative therapy treatments, paid by patients and third-party payers including workers' compensation carriers. Distribution is built on three pillars — physician referral networks, in-network insurance participation, and direct-to-patient acquisition via a multi-channel digital marketing stack (Google Ads, Meta, LinkedIn, SMS) supported by a FollowMyHealth patient portal and a community outreach and sponsorship program. The practice is also a site for the FDA Phase III CARTISTEM stem-cell trial for knee osteoarthritis sponsored by MEDIPOST Inc., with Dr. Justin Newman as principal investigator, giving it early access to advanced regenerative therapies and a clinical research footprint.
