Dr. Sam Huntley and his team have been outstanding throughout my knee injury and surgery. From the first appointment, he took the time to explain my condition, answer questions, and make sure I understood my options. My surgery ended up being much more extensive than expected due to the severity of the damage. Dr. Huntley was able to repair injuries that could have significantly impacted my long-term mobility and quality of life. At my post-op appointment, he thoroughly explained what he found and the repair process, which gave me confidence in my recovery plan. His staff has also been professional, responsive, and compassionate during a very difficult time. I am grateful for the care I've received and would highly recommend Dr. Huntley and Orthopedic Centers of Colorado to anyone dealing with a serious knee injury.

TOPS! .. Did a same-day surgery on my infected foot💗. Loved that same-day service. I’d go to him again for any surgery he’d be willing to do .. also he ‘followed up’ two days later .. very uncommon .. I love that too

I had my first appointment with Dr Huntley. He is very nice and listens well. I was very concerned that I tore a rotator cuff. Good news is that it appears to be arthritis. He laid out several options for me. I am already back on the golf course!

Dr Huntley and the staff were great. Unfortunately at 62 I have a number of health issues and wanted to rule out a knee issue which was negative structurally. I would recommend him/them and see them again if needed in the future.

Dr. Huntley and his team provided an excellent experience from my initial appointment through surgery and post-op care. This was my first surgery ever, so I was timid going into it, but Dr. Huntley’s calm demeanor and confident approach made me feel very comfortable and well taken care of. The day of surgery at the facility was also a great experience, and the entire team was professional and supportive throughout the process. While I hope I don’t have another orthopedic injury anytime soon, I would absolutely go back to Dr. Huntley and his team in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!

Dr. Huntley is a very knowledgeable and skilled surgeon. He suggested an enhancement to my daughter’s knee surgery after noticing something unique about her health situation. He made us feel very comfortable throughout all the appointments and on surgery day. He is never in a hurry and always makes sure we have time to ask questions.

Since being referred to Dr. Huntley by my retiring Surgeon, was somewhat apprehensive. Dr. Huntley, to my relief, was very friendly, professional, and caring to my situation. Have not had my post-surgery evaluation yet, but healing well. I have good confidence in Dr Huntley.

Amazingly comfortable experience !!!! I had reviewed Dr. Huntley’s stunning professional accomplishments to date. I knew he walked with the gods. But, his talking with me and discussing my diagnosis was like having a beer with an old and cherished friend. If I could design a healthcare professional from scratch, I’d use Dr. Huntley as a model. I am so very lucky to be in his care. Dr. David Palmer

Edlike the doctor was running late when I arrived For my appointment, but they caught up and I went in pretty close to on time. They got me over for x-rays and in with the doctor pretty quickly and everything was there on hand. It made for a great experience, not having to run to a lab and then back to the doctor and then someplace else to get a shot – as has been my experience and many other Practices. Dr. Huntley was clear and concise – spoke to me in terms that were understandable and laid out several options for treatment now and down the road. I really appreciated the insight.

I was able to schedule my appointment to see Dr Huntley within two days of my phone call requesting an appointment to evaluate a shoulder injury. He referred my to have a MRI and a review to happen in one week of my first visit with Dr Huntley. He explained what the MRI showed in language I could understand. I received a steroid injection during to tendinitis in my rotator cuff. My pain was reduced to a 1. I highly recommend both OCC for orthopedic medical care and Dr. Huntley for shoulder injuries. Completely satisfied all steps of this care.

Dr, Huntley was referred to me by a partner at OCC. The staff and assistant were very pleasant and I never felt rushed at any point. When I met with Dr. Huntley he explained what he was seeing in the MRI and explained what my issues are and the extent of injury. He did explain to me that I am a candidate for an arthoscopic procedure but he would have to refer me to another surgeon for that procedure and if I decided to do the open surgery he would do the procedure. I am waiting to see another Dr for the Arthroscopic procedure but if one cannot be done and I have no choice but to have an open sugary then I definitely will be making arrangements with the OCC. Thank you for making me feel more at ease through your knowledge and clear explanation.
