Our re-examination with Dr. Weinstein regarding our shoulders (injured in a roadside auto accident) was straight forward, direct and honest. Dr Weinstein assessed the effectiveness of the physical therapy and the cortisone injections (non-operative treatments), that he recommended prior to shoulder surgery. To that end, the overall assessment was we would need surgery and left the decision entirely up to us! Dr. Continued to explain both surgeries in detail as well as post care.. We would recommend Dr Weinstein to anyone for his orthopedic care. We are very thankful!

Dr. Weinstein is a renowned Orthopedic Surgeon specializing in Shoulder & Elbow disorders which are exactly my issues at present. I have had two (2) consults with him and I am presently scheduled for several procedures in the coming weeks.

Dr. Weinstein was very thorough in review of my shoulder and elbow imaging, the issues and planned corrective procedures along with expected outcome thru to therapy and recovery.

I particularly chose Dr. Weinstein based on his 38 years of experience, particularly with sports related injuries, etc. Additionally, his high patient praise, reported bedside manner and successful outcome reviews were key factors of consideration. Solidifying my consideration was my AI search for “best orthopedic shoulder surgeons in the greater Denver area”. Dr. Weinstein received great ratings and as well high marks from GrokAI incorporating numerous data sources available to compile a comprehensive overall summary.

The entire Staff at Orthopedic Center of Colorado (O.C.C.) working under Dr. Weinstein have been similarly impressive throughout my engagement.

My experience with Dr.Wienstiens office has been exceptional. He and his staff are very pleasant and listen to my concerns. I made an extra apt to talk to Dr.Wienstien who planned on doing a repaired surgery. He explained my opinions on how he does it normally. Then I explained since I already had total replacement on my rt shoulder .. My healing and P.T on my Rt shoulder went so well. We together decided in my case,it would be faster,easier to recover from a total replacement. Tues here we come. Ty So much Dr.Wienstien for listening to my concerns.

Dr Weinstein listened to me!!! A year ago. I shattered my elbow and wanted to avoid surgery because I was concerned about healing. He was my choice for a second opinion based on 3 recommendations. The first doctors were cavalier, joking that I shouldn’t break up with my partner right now among other remarks after insisting surgery was the only option. Everything was in line with Dr Weinstein’s office from the NP to my favorite Physical Therapy team of Grace and Emily and the great staff in the Broadmoor location. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

It's been one year today since I had my shoulder replacement surgery, with the help of the physical therapy of 0CC and many more hours of my home therapy lm happy to say it was a great discussion to have my surgery. I don't have any of the pain I was living with before the surgery, Dr Weinstein also did my rotator cuff surgery over ten years ago and it is still doing great, but bottom line is you have to do the physical therapy religiously to get the best results
