Advanced Orthopedic & Sports Medicine Specialists, PC

This is a very professional office. Dr. D’Ambrosia is awesome and an excellent physician. Nicole Wilson PA is also excellent.
Now the down side, which I believe is not entirely their fault, I had an late afternoon and was seen one and a half hour late. As I understand it Colorado law now does not allow a physician to prescribe more than 30 «pain pills» in a month. Patients must be seen and given a paper prescription, No more called in prescriptions. While I was sitting in the waiting room I saw many elderly patients waiting to be seen. Some looking very uncomfortable. It appeared that very few were able to get their on their own.
Now doctors are required to hire PA or RNP to help see patients. Even with this additional staff everyone must feel overwhelmed and stressed all day.
I have been a RN for over 45 years and in the last several years I worked in Utilization Review and Case Management. I can see that this is incurring so much additional cost and reduced patient satisfaction that it is NOT working.
Please call your State Senator and ask for an explanation of this law.

As admitted in the past (see my review for Physiotherapy Associates), I have anxiety & a slight mistrust of doctors & the industry of medicine. When I dislocated my knee on a Sunday night, I was traumatized by the pain, the fear, and the worry that I could never be active again.
I put out a call on Facebook asking friends & family for recommendations on orthopedic doctors.
Dr Gersoff was recommended to me by a friend who is a nurse and who had both been operated on by Dr. Gersoff & operated with him.
I was amazed that I was able to call Monday morning & obtain an appointment for that afternoon.
I loved Dr Gersoff. Before even examining me he recognized my tears & fear that I wouldn’t fully recover & sat with me & encouraged me that this wasn’t the end of my running & promised me I would recover fully. Running gets a bad rap for being «hard on the knees» so I was grateful to have found a doctor that wasn’t going to give me that lecture. He ordered an MRI which was done just downstairs. There was no wait for results, he received them immediately & we discussed them that afternoon.
I love the appointment reminders sent via text message. It’s so convenient to have those reminders sent directly to my phone. One is sent a few days before the appointment & one the morning of the appointment.
I have experienced nothing but kindness, professionalism, attentiveness, and excellent care by the entire staff at Advanced Orthopedic. (Notice I didn’t say promptness, {which is why I only gave 4 stars} but I think that’s pretty much the norm with doctor’s offices these days.) I hope to never need another orthopedic doctor, but if I do I will come back to Dr Gersoff.

Gravity Sucks!
I was injured by gravity, well gravity and my own body that is. I managed to break rather severely 3 fingers doing a pull up (don’t ask)
I was injured on a Tuesday night late, called first thing Wednesday when the office opened and was in the office to see Dr. Worrell in just a matter of hours. I was surprised I was able to get an appointment that quickly. Everyone was very nice from the front desk staff, to the assistants, the XRay tech and of course my now most favorite Dr. Worrell.
If my insurance would have covered the place he was operating the next day he would have operated the next morning. Unfortunately, I was not covered for that particular place but he was able to get me scheduled for the next week.
He’s answered my questions and his staff has dealt with Metlife better then I ever imagined.
He’s even met with me for a few moments down the hall at my physical therapy sessions to ensure things were progressing. I can not say enough good things about him, he was even seemingly gentle pulling pins out of my fingers today with pliers. Yes, it is that messed up.
I’ve not had the issues others have experienced. The girls in the front office have been great. I would recommend this location if you have a need for orthopedics and completely recommend Dr. Worrell for any hand issues. BTW he likes peanut butter cookies:)

Great staff and group of physicians. Dr Motz is one if the best (knee) surgeons — very nice, warm, caring. He does outreach, he volunteers at high school football games. He worked as a team physician for the Colorado Rockies, Colorado Rapids and Denver Grizzlies at the professional level and served as a team physician for Metro State College. Dr. Motz was also the team physician for the USA Hockey team and the Freestyle World Wrestling Championships. If you have a problem with your knee, ankle, shoulder, or elbow, I recommend seeing him. When he did surgery on me at Sky Ridge hospital, he visited me every day and I know it was a drive (I would tell him not to, but he did). I have also seen Dr Hurley in this group.

Thank goodness I called the office. I didn’t know that I needed to make an appt in order to go over my son’s MRI results. No one even bothered to tell me that! They said the dr would be calling me. Good thing I called… Couldn’t even get an appt until Wednesday afternoon. And that’s way over off of Lowry. I’m starting to dislike this place. Even the desk people are horrible and rude… EVERY time I’ve had to speak with them. If I didn’t like this Dr Shen so much, I’d definitely go someplace else!

I saw Dr. D’Ambrosia for pain. He was sympathetic to my pain and willing to prescribe medications but he didn’t know what was causing the pain and he kept promising he’d research my symptoms more and get back to me, but he never did.
Dealing with the front office was a nightmare. I called many times and left messages and never heard back. I’d have to schedule another appointment to meet with Dr. D’Ambrosia because my messages weren’t returned. When I asked him about them, he said he never got them.
My prescriptions were through Walgreens and they would contact Advanced Orthopedic & Sports Medicine Specialists, PC to get refills or with concerns and questions about medications and they were ignored by the office as well.
I finally stopped going there and found another doctor.

I was referred to this office by my primary care physician. I filled out the on-​line form with my information and when I called they said they couldn’t find the information. The receptionist/​administrative assistant, Adrianne, seemed very uninterested in assisting me and not at all friendly. I’ll be asking my physician for an alternative referral. Regardless of the experience of the doctors at this establishment, I will not tolerate rudeness and bad customer service from administrative staff.

I went for a follow-​up visit today, and, as noted before, the doc (D’Ambrosio) was fine. Also as last time, I waited a long time — 35 minutes. As for the staff: The assistant who led me to the exam room, as last time, was sullen, refusing to make eye contact and not greeting me beyond a sullen «hello» as she walked away from me. Did I mention humorless? Here’s the kicker: She ENTERED INACCURATE INFORMATION ON MY CHART. After she left, I was curious, so looked over at the screen and thought, WHAT?! I’m not on that med. and never have been.” I pointed this out to the doctor and he deleted it. The assistant, whose name I learned but will keep mum about, is in the wrong profession and, same as the front desk, is a poor reflection on the practice.
The doctors may be excellent, but don’t expect the front desk or medical assistants to make eye contact, smile or give you the reception a patient deserves.

I can’t walk without hurting myself for the life of me. It started in high school when I thought the ‘cool’ thing was to go ice skating after spraining/​popping my ankle. Riiiiight…
Fast forward to college where I made the choice that ice + heels = smart. Riiiiight…
Fast forward 6 months after said ice incident. AGAIN??? How did I manage to find the only pot hole in the grass???
Needless to say, I experienced chronic swelling and pain in my ankle for a good 3 years before doing something about it. After seeing a different podiatrist who had no clue what was wrong with me (after 2 months in a walking boot!), I scheduled a second opinion from Dr. Stone.
Right after hearing my story and treatment plan from the prior guy, he knew EXACTLY what was going on. He explained the diagnosis in simple, easy to understand terms and promised to contact me again once he had the MRI read by a different specialist. He did. Unfortunately, the only way to treat my walking issue is by having the scar tissue removed.
The only reason this isn’t a 5 star place is that I waited a while in the waiting room. I kind of expected that since I was his first appointment after lunch, but one can hope for the best, right?
