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, 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.

Great surgeon. I had a ruptured ACL along with a torn posterior horn of my lateral meniscus and a torn anterior horn of my medial meniscus. I was extremely nervous and terrified about the surgery, but he was very understanding, knowledgeable, and reassuring. He made the whole process feel natural and comfortable because he truly is a professional at what he does. I’m now about 1 year and 6 months post-op and doing great. I’m back to doing everything I enjoy, with no pain and full confidence in my knee. I took my physical therapy very seriously and even completed PT exercises before surgery to prepare myself. I’m extremely grateful for the care and expertise he provided and would highly recommend him to anyone needing ACL or meniscus surgery. . He took on a complex surgery and performed it with exceptional skill, giving me confidence from the very beginning. He made the entire process feel much less intimidating because of his calm demeanor and expertise.Thanks Kirk Jeffers .

Dr. Jeffers without a doubt has been the top tier surgeon that every human being hopes their surgeon is. He has always treated me with the upmost respect. As many orthopedic surgeries that I have had done to my body, DR. Jeffers has been above all on his knowledge and his follow through with me has been meticulous. Like I said he is a TOP TIER surgeon. Thank’s to him and all his staff.

Following months of a shoulder issue, I finally saw a specialist. Seeing as I have seen other ortho surgeons at OCC, I picked Dr Jeffers. He is very knowledgeable, great bedside manner. He is very pragmatic and not an alarmist. Definitely would recommend Dr Jeffers for shoulder issues.

Very quick to be seen! Dr. Jeffers went over my MRI with me and said no surgery needed now which I agree after the cortisone shot feels like a new knee.

DR. Jeffers took the time to get me in quickly, as I had torn all tissue from my shoulder and my bicep. Overall he is an excellent surgeon, very informative and empathetic. He also talked about different options for my injured shoulder. I am looking forward to a smooth recovery. Kudos!!!
