Nicholas Golinvaux, MD
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.
