Nicholas Golinvaux

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 and his team are outstanding! From my very first appointment, he took the time to thoroughly explain my treatment options, including the pros and cons of surgery versus remaining in a cast. He never made me feel rushed and was patient in answering my questions, helping me choose the treatment plan that was best for my needs. I ultimately elected to have surgery, and after placing a plate in my wrist, Dr. Golinvaux was able to restore the alignment of my fracture. Throughout the entire process, I felt confident in his expertise and genuinely cared for as a patient. I highly recommend Dr. Golinvaux and his team to anyone seeking exceptional orthopedic care.

Recently visited Dr. Golinvaux for thumb pain. I was very impressed with his overall office set up. I got X-rays and scheduled PT all in one spot. All of his support staff were great esp his MA. Dr. G was very personable and gave me positive news- so even better! Lovely experience- I highly recommend.
