Kirk Jeffers

Before medical school, Dr. Jeffers spent time in Vail, CO helping patients rehabilitate and recover from orthopedic injuries. This gives him an interesting perspective on patient care as he has helped guide patients through every phase of an injury: from diagnosing them on the field, to performing their surgery, to helping them rehab and recover. He completed medical school in Tampa at the University of South Florida. He then did his orthopedic surgery residency in New Orleans at Louisiana State University. After completing residency, he moved here to Denver to complete a fellowship in Sports Medicine Surgery at the Steadman Hawkins Clinic where he helped take care of the Denver Broncos, Colorado Rockies and Cherry Creek High School.

Dr. Jeffers is an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery of the shoulder, elbow, hip and knee. He provides surgical and non-surgical care of joint, muscle, tendon and ligament injuries. Taking care of world class athletes, he fine-tuned his skills in complex ligament and tendon repair/reconstruction. He also takes on complex revision cases. He is a member of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, American Orthopedic Society for Sports Medicine, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons and the Arthroscopy Association of North America. He has published on rare injuries, ACL reconstruction in Division I football players, and complex hip anatomy.

Dr. Jeffers is a family man who loves to enjoy the outdoors and sporting events with his wife, Susie, their children and their dog. He enjoys skiing, snowboarding and playing sports outdoors. Dr. Jeffers is also an avid fan of the NFL, NCAA, MLB, and NBA.

“I take pride in listening and helping patients make shared decisions. I want to ensure that no one leaves my office feeling like they were not heard or not understood. It is my goal to teach you about your injury so that you understand all of your options and can choose the best one for you and your life. I consider it a privilege to help patients live the highest quality of life so they can continue to enjoy both work and play,” said Dr. Jeffers.

Kirk Jeffers MD is it excellent physician. I came to see him on a work comp injury to my hip. He explained everything and in very much detail so that I could understand. He explain that it would not recommend surgery on me because my hip was still in to good of condition and wait till it became more of an issue or unbearable pain. I would highly recommend him.

I hurt my shoulder about two years ago at work. My PT recommended OCC. I initially started with a different doctor whom retired and now working with Dr Jeffers. The Inverness clinic/surgery center staff have been amazing by being kind, patient, understanding, humorous, professional, make you feel like you are the only person, and supporting of my needs. Dr Jeffers has a kind soul. He has taken the time to talk with me about what is going on, my options, and possibly what may be ahead. I would/will recommend him to anyone.
David C.
Excellent experience no complaints best doctor thank you so much for the care
Karen B.
From the friendly and authentic greeting and check-in when I walked in, to the personal greeting and check in and follow-up from Monique, Dr. Jeffers assistant (and from my experience, doctors can’t function without their assistants, so they’ve got to be good—because like dental assistants, they are the one you see the most), to the caring and compassionate evaluation by Dr. Jeffers, I felt seen and heard during my entire appointment. Looks like I have a rotator cuff tear . They got me in on Friday for an MRI and we’ll figure out the next steps on Monday. I really appreciate that no-one is wasting my time—my pain and injury are being taken seriously and I feel like they want to help me as soon as possible.
Daniel J
I cannot recommend Dr. Jeffers highly enough for his outstanding care and expertise. From my initial consultation to my post-operative follow-ups, he has demonstrated an unparalleled level of dedication and professionalism.

Dr. Jeffers's communication skills are second to none. He took the time to thoroughly explain my diagnosis, the proposed treatment plan, and what I could expect during recovery. His ability to break down complex medical information made it easy for me to understand made me feel extremely comfortable and well informed.

What truly sets Dr. Jeffers apart is his genuine care for his patients. He is always attentive and compassionate, taking the time to listen to my concerns and answer any questions I had. His warm and reassuring demeanor helped give me confidence in my treatment plan of care.

Dr. Jeffers's dedication to his craft is evident in the meticulous care he provides. My surgery was very helpful, and I credit his skillful hands and attention to detail for my smooth recovery. He continually checked in on my progress and adjusted my treatment plan as needed to ensure the best possible outcome and has helped me get back to many activities that I had pain doing before.

In summary, Dr. Jeffers is not only an exceptional orthopedic surgeon but also a compassionate and dedicated healthcare professional. If you are in need of orthopedic care, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Jeffers without hesitation!

Dr. Kirk Jeffers replaced my right shoulder with a reverse implant. Dr. Jeffers' preoperative evaluation was very clear and informative. He was very open to answering my questions. The surgery went extremely well. There was only minimal postoperative discomfort. The clinic and OR staff were excellent. They were very professional and provided information about the process . I was then referred to physical therapy. They were instrumental in helping me to achieve incredible range of motion . I would recommend Dr Jeffers and his staff without any reservations .

The overall experience was so respectable. Dr. Jeffers is a doctor whom I trust wholeheartedly. He's not a HURRY doctor, and being 78, I've been around HURRY doctors. I'm going to have surgery on my shoulder Friday and I was scared but after meeting with him a second time, I felt so much better especially after I placed Dr. Jeffers in the HANDS OF JESUS. Thank you MARY
Brian S.
I visited Dr. Kirk Jeffers for a torn ACL and meniscus. And throughout all visits, Dr. Jeffers always took enough time to fully explain the current condition, treatment options, and his recommendations. I've felt very well informed and very well supported to make decisions. Ultimately, I sought the surgical repair option from his advice, and I'm glad I did.

Red&Cindy H.
I had a few appointments with Dr. Kirk Jeffers then after talking with him I had decided to go ahead and get a total reverse shoulder replacement everything went as expected I was in extreme pain after surgery but 3 months later I have been in therapy for 8 to 10 weeks and it’s getting better every day progressing quickly to me anyway. So I have to thank Dr. Jeffers and everyone else who was involved.
Thank You All
