Dr Eickman. Did a complete knee replacement and did a fantastic job. I was up walking the first day just fine. I was able to continue my activities of golfing and water skiing. Thank you very much.

Dr. Eickmann was awesome. I went in to get my hips evaluated and learned that I had severe arthritis in both hips, but did not require surgery at this time. He also checked my knee that I had injured, and told me that it was stable and just bruised. Thank you very much Dr. Eickmann.

Cordial, extremely informative. I felt relaxed as he did not rush and gave plenty of time to answer my questions. He appears very conservative about recommending surgery and said that based on tests and our discussion that I did not need surgery at this time.

I am returning to Eickmann for a second surgery (unrelated to my first) so that says everything. I believe he is an excellent surgeon and gives you the information you need to make an informed decision. No nonsense. All business which I like in a surgeon. My first surgery with him was 7 years ago and the outcome was excellent. He is all about outcomes which is what any patient wants.

Not only is Dr. Eickmann a talented surgeon, he’s also a great listener during office visits, and just an all around kind human being! You can feel that he genuinely cares, and wants to help you improve your quality of life. I’ve had two knees replaced by him, and they are fantastic - I walk pain-free now!!

Six weeks ago Dr. Eickmann replaced my failing hip. For the past four years my ability to walk any substantial distance was hindered by pain. I thought my days of hiking, which I thoroughly enjoyed, had ended forever. Today I'm walking pain-free and looking forward to the coming Spring to hike the beautiful trails of Colorado again. Thank you Dr. Eickmann and the Orthopedic Centers Of Colorado for changing my life.

Dr Eickmann successfully replaced my hip 6 years ago so I thought he would be a good person to speak with regarding replacing my other hip. I went in expecting to have a replacement scheduled by the time I left his office but to my surprise that was not the case. After looking at imaging and having a good discussion, Dr Eickmann said it was premature to consider surgery and recommended other options. I appreciate the honest conversation and can wholeheartedly recommend Dr Eickmann for your orthopedic needs.

Just had my one-year follow-up with Dr Eickmann after having both knees replaced within 8 weeks of each other. 900 miles on the bike and many miles of hiking later, I can only say the knees are still improving and it was SO worth the hard work and discomfort of surgery. Dr Eickmann and his staff worked with me during the entire process….what a difference they made in my life!

I had a left hip replacement with Dr. Eickman 6 weeks ago at Avista hospital. The surgery prep, surgery and post surgery were great. I am now walking miles and doing daily activity without pain and sleeping well again thanks to Dr. Eickmann and his amazing team. Also, my wife, sister in law and mother and law also had knee and hip replacements by Dr. Eickmann - all very successful. I highly recommend Dr. Eickmann.

After spending the last two years believing that the fracture I have cannot be repaired, Dr Eickmann has given me hope that he can fix it. I’m looking forward to working with him and his staff.

Very professional operation. Dr. Eickmann was nice enough, but pretty cut and dried and perfunctory in his explanation of my problem, with little investment in my individual history and strategies for mitigating the condition moving forward, beyond a steroid injection and biking and swimming and maybe OTC's. Did not offer for me to see my own Xrays, and was out of the room before I could ask to see them.

I really liked Dr. Eickmann! He had a great bedside manner answered all my questions and helped me to understand exactly what was going on and what was contributing to the pain I was having in my knee/leg. I went to him for a second opinion because the other practice I went to Gave me no explanation whatsoever as to what was going on. He took his time and I did not feel rushed. I will definitely go back if I have reason to! The staff was great also, everyone was super friendly! What more could you ask for?

Dr. Eickmann and his team have been fantastic and encouraging throughout my knee replacement and subsequent manipulation to gain better range of motion. I couldn’t have asked for a more accomplished surgeon or better aftercare service. Dr. Eickmann is a true professional and I whole heartedly recommend him! Wish there was a higher than 5 star rating.

Absolutely recommend this doctor. He is down to earth, very qualified, professional and so respectful of all my questions and concerns, yet ... dare I say cool?? His entire setup, staff, assistants,... everything gives you a calm, friendly atmosphere and I have never had a doctor or medical staff after this serious of a procedure that actually calls you personally to check on you, can be easily reached and yet very caring and answers any and all questions and concerns. He explains things in amazing detail but so you understand what he is talking about. Him, Bianca and Heidi have taken such amazing care of me AND my family!! I cannot recommend them enough. SO very happy He was recommended to me. All my family are changing to them.
