Dr. Golinvaux (“Dr. G”) is a Colorado native, born and raised in Denver. He specializes in disorders throughout the hand and upper extremity.

Dr. Golinvaux graduated from Yale University with a bachelor’s degree in molecular biology. He also earned his medical degree at Yale and completed his orthopedic surgery residency at Vanderbilt University. He then completed his training at the Harvard Hand and Upper Extremity Fellowship, with special additional training in microsurgery of the hand.

Dr. Golinvaux is passionate about his profession and the relationships formed with his patients and their families. He considers it a special privilege to care for conditions throughout the upper extremity. This includes traumatic conditions such as fractures, sprains, tendon, and nerve injuries, as well as chronic conditions including arthritis, Dupuytren’s contracture, trigger fingers, and nerve compression syndromes such as carpal tunnel and cubital tunnel syndrome.

He has authored several peer-reviewed research publications and book chapters, though his most meaningful work lies in the individualized care of his patients and helping to return them to their active lives following an injury or bout with a degenerative condition.

Dr. Golinvaux is a proud father and relishes his time spent with his wife and children. He grew up an avid ice hockey player and golfer, and he remains active in both arenas. He also enjoys hiking, skiing, and time outdoors in the great state of Colorado.

Dr. Golinvaux's Reviews

Dr. G is awesome and my hand is progressing nicely thanks to his fine work!!!!!

Kelly D.

Had carpal tunnel surgery in July and I couldn't be happier! The whole experience was a breeze, starting with the surgery center having complimentary valet parking--I just drove up and walked right in. The staff was so friendly and personable; put me right at ease. I opted to not go under general anesthesia and I'm so glad I did because the whole procedure took about 10 minutes once I was numb! Later that night it was a little sore but not bad at all and I slept through the night without any issues! The next day it was only a little tender but felt nearly back to normal. Stitches were taken out two weeks after and felt great! At 3 weeks post op I can't even tell I had surgery because there is no scar! My fingers are no longer going numb throughout the day and night it's been amazing! Just wish I had it done sooner! Dr Golinvaux is a genius! I'm so glad I chose him to do my carpal tunnel surgery! Highly recommend!!

He always makes me feel like he cares about me the most and he always wants me to make sure that I know that he wants me to feel like he’s doing the absolute best to know that I am someone he cares about and that he will do the best to make sure that I am taken the best care of, I have a lot of health problems and he make sure that I know that he cares about me as a person. I can’t think of anybody better take care of me. Thank you Dr G for all that you do for me.

Friendliest staff and Orthopedic group that I have seen. Dr. G IS AWESOME!

William “Bill” M.

This is a top notch orthopedic team! They treated my injuries suffered in a ski accident a severely fractured wrist and dislocated shoulder . Surgically repaired and I have to say for an older guy 60 I’m way ahead of schedule for a full recovery. I credit Dr G and the PT Team for the results and I have no doubt I will be 100% before the 2024 ski season ends! 😎
