The office staff is very nice & kind. Dr Hunt is wonderful. He took time to explain everything that is going on with my knee. He also took the time to list ALL the treatment option & what each treatment entails.
Robert B.
I cannot expound enough on the quality and professionalism that Dr. Hunt showed throughout the procedure. From the first consultation to the surgery and through the post ops. His demeanor and pleasant personality is a gift that enhanced the whole experience as well.
Diane G.
Advanced Orthopedics is hands-down the best place in metro-Denver for joint replacement surgeries. What a team!! My husband had a knee replacement through them. I've had a hip replacement with Dr. Hunt and am scheduled with him again for the other hip. I wouldn't go to anyone else.
Meg W.
Dr. Hunt was very thorough. Reviewed my MRI'S, Xrays, and was a great communicator. He has an excellent reputation and now I know why.

Justin M.
Dr Hunt was so great, it is rare a doctor takes so much time to answer my questions, usually they are just in and out, and his knowledge of knee functionality was great, I didn't need surgery so he put together more of a physical therapy plan, definitely recommend him.
Connie M.
Dr. Harold Hunt is wonderful. Had knee replacement several years ago and he still is there for me. Very kind and caring.
Going in now every so often to get an injection in my other knee and also a bursa injection in my hip. Always pain free. Takes his time and answers your questions. Will always go to him.
Judy D.
Dr Hunt is so personable and is an expert in his area.
Mark A.
Just finished my right hip replacement 6 months ago and was a great experience! Dr Hunts entire team is fantastic from front office, medical support, and after care.
Should have done it over 2 yrs ago.

NOW onto my right knee replacement in the next 6 weeks. NOTE no better advocate for a doctor than when a patient immediately jumps back into another surgery with the same surgeon. NOT making the same mistake of waiting too long like I did with the hip. Start to finish - a
Five Star ⭐️ experience!

The supporting team and Dr Hunt lives up to their reputation for excellence in patient care!
Michael R.
Dr Hunt et al. are an excellent 5-star team. If you need a hip replacement, ask for the Swiss made parts! Don’t be lazy, do a month of PT after. Mike

Undeniable quality patient care in every way, shape and form!! Physician assistants and intern were fantastic, kind and compassionate! Dr. Hunt’s expertise leaves me with positivity and so much hope on a left hip replacement!
Gus G.
We’re often the ones who abuse our own bodies—pushing limits, chasing fun, and relying too much on the resilience of youth to keep us together. But that mindset can catch up with us. Thankfully, when it did for me, I had Dr. Hunt. His no-nonsense approach was exactly what I needed, and his surgical skill is what got me back to normal. Having someone like Dr. Hunt in your corner is a true blessing—he’s the one you want on your side.

Cori M.
Dr. Hunt always take the extra time to make sure he understands my issues and addresses my concerns. Not only that, 8 years ago he was one of the few orthopedic surgeons I knew that was willing to do a partial knee replacement on someone my age. I went from daily unbearable pain to getting back to hiking, biking, rowing, and just being more active. For that I will always be grateful!

Stephanie H.
I am 3 months post-op and have not left a review (until now) as I haven't found the words to fully express my gratitude. I still haven't... I don't think they exist, but I'll give it my best shot.
Dr. Hunt, I will forever be grateful to you, Marissa, and the rest of your team for giving me my life back. Today I got on a bicycle again...a feat that seemed soooo far-fetched and impossible 3 months ago. Wow! How I missed that! I'm still trying to adjust to my newfound mobility, a 'challenge' that I look forward to exploring daily. Thank you for giving me that opportunity. I hope our paths cross again... maybe a bike path or a trailhead!!
To anybody reading reviews, looking for an orthopedic surgeon specializing in hips and knees ( I can vouch for hip) look no further. You just found the surgeon, the team, the surgical location (which also has a great team) and your physical therapy team all in one. I would recommend Dr. Hunt over and over again without hesitation. My experience has been A+.
Thank you again, Dr. Hunt.

This is my fourth surgery with Dr. Hunt and his team. From beginning to post operative checkups, they deliver top quality technical support and caring and compassionate service. They make themselves available to answer questions after surgery, if needed. They are a top notch healthcare organization.
Gary F.
Dr. Hunt was thorough in his explanations and showed me what he was seeing in the MRI. He gave explanation of next steps. It’s a lot of information to take in at once, which is just par for the course.

Roma A.
Dr. Hunt performed partial knee replacements for both knees in 2020. He was wonderful to work with - thorough in his assessments, explanations and, most importantly, the surgeries. I had fantastic outcomes, and I found him to be highly approachable during post-surgery follow-ups. I would have Dr. Hunt do any other similar surgeries in a heartbeat and wouldn't hesitate to highly recommend him.
