This place is amazing! We were referred her by a vet in Hays, Kansas when our little girl broke her growth plate. Dr. Franklin explained the procedure of the surgery and all possible complications. In the end, he did a fabulous job...

John Ireland

Drs Franklin and Miller were awesome! Thorough and compassionate. The staff was wonderful to work with. I would recommend this group to any dog owner in the region if your dog has an orthopedic issue.

We are so impressed with this facility. From the first to the last consultation the service we got was first class. Our dog had a TPLO surgery. We were kept informed on the day of surgery and given the best post urgical information we have ever received. Follow up care was excellent. The staff and ...

My Frenchie had a fracture repair at CCO and I am beyond impressed with the staff. You can tell they love what they do and love pups! When I went to pick my fur baby up post op, he wasn’t in a kennel, he was being held and loved on by the staff. Very happy with my experience and the knowledge of the...

My dog just had knee surgery this past weekend and has been having complications with the medication provided. The staff at CO Canine Ortho make me feel like they’re genuinely concerned for my dogs well being and are incredibly understanding and patient with all of my questions and concerns. The off...

Cindy Jaques

I truly believe you have the best staff available in Colorado! The doctors are great - every tech or receptionist said hello, ask if I needed anything and check on my dog several times when the wait when over what the doctor said it would be. I feel so comfortable with the treatment plan developed f...

Jenni Samaro

Colorado Canine Orthopedics is amazing! They always take such good care of my pup. They really care and go the extra mile. So many staff love to stop what they are doing and love on my boy anytime we come in. The atmosphere is great and so is the service! Dr.Swainson is awesome and has done great wi...

Kate Powell

I didn't give 5 stars only because I felt the front desk staff to be rather cold. Other than that it was a fantastic experience!

Shorty Smith

If you need any kind of ortho work done, this is the place. the gals there really love the babies. they took great care of Ruckus. the doc will call to ck up on him and that is reassuring that they really care.

Kylah Sutz Edgin

These guys really are so incredibly gentle, informative and know what they’re doing. We’re only one day post TPLO but they gave clear, outlined instructions for aftercare. Normally, it’s just a handout with “Do this and this. This might happen. This might not happen. Call your vet if you have questi...

Terry Sanford

Wonderful staff and beautiful facility! If ever I need orthopedic work I am coming here!

Kaley Hilfman

Luna had a TPLO by Dr Miller and we couldn’t be happier with the results. She was back to her active self in no time! Staff was exceptional and eased all of my worries before surgery. I also appreciated the booklet they sent home afterwards that answered all the questions I didn’t think of while in ...

Absolute the best. Dr Franklin is amazing. Therapy team amazing. Love them

Felice Kohler

I walked in today and was more than a little worried about my little man. After 30 seconds, I was completely at ease, the staff is amazing! Luckily my little dude doesn’t need surgery, but if he did, there is nowhere else I would want to go. The staff was professional and friendly and amazing with m...

My German Shepherd, Hunter, had a hip replacement on Monday by Dr. Miller. I was a basket case. They took amazing care of both of us. Hunter is home and recovering beautifully. Everyone there was professional, caring and wonderful. This is my third time there. Several years ago my Westie, Maggie, ha...

This place is excellent. They are super knowledgeable, honest, reasonable and really want the best for our pet. I have worked with both Dr. Miller and Dr. Bauer and have trusted both completely, thanks for everything!

Brenna Bulmer

I can only say good things about Dr. Michael DeTora and the rest of the staff at CO Canine Orthopedics! We had 2 vets tell us our dog needed knee surgery. Dr. DeTora determined his knees were fine, but there was definitely an issue with 1 of his legs. After multiple tests/treatment trials, it was de...

Sarah Moe

The staff and Dr Riecks care very much from the minute you walk in the door until your pet is healed. Wouldn't go anywhere else.

Wendy Birhanzel

I have had two pitbulls (both seniors) have TPLO surgery here. One was with Dr. Franklin and one with Dr. DeTora. Both were amazing with the dogs and great surgeons. I felt comfortable the whole time and the dogs recovered quickly.

Desire Leaf

Just had my dog's second THR - she had her first one when she was 2, and now she's 5. Both times saw Dr.Reicks and he's amazing!! The office staff are all VERY nice, and luckily for me, I have health insurance that pays 80% of the procedure and they asked me to pay ONLY my 20% at the time of surgery...

Thank you so much to the whole team at Colorado Canine Orthopedic, especially Dr & Mrs DeTora. Lucy is 6 weeks Post Op and graduated from Physical Therapy today!

Craig Wymer

My dog, Molly has been there three times. Dr. Franklin and his team treated Molly like a VIP every time. Our dog is anxious at the vet, usually because she goes for vaccination shots. At CCO, she is not as anxious because of the toy boxes they have throughout the office. The office is very open and ...

I originally took Chance to my vet just to see if the problem he was having was his hips, he is a rescue, rescued after someone threw him on the highway at 3 months old. I took to er and he had a fractured hip. I thought arthritis had set in. Turns out it was his ACL. So I made an appointment with C...

I highly recommend them. Great friendly staff and treat your pets with great care. Priced reasonably. They send you home with an easy to follow care program for your pet and information that explains the procedure done. First page had several numbers to call for an emergency after surgery.

Our dog needed leg surgery an we were referred to Colorado Canine. They were very gentle with her. Dr. DeTora explained in detail what needed to be done and what we could expect in results. Her surgery went very well and is now regaining strength in her legs. Wonderful place!!

I brought my sport dog in for a strange gait and the team was able to pinpoint a soas strain. We followed up with an ultrasound and PRP injection. Very knowledgeable staff, I'll bring my dog back if she ever needs an orthopedic vet again! They book up quickly and only offer ultrasounds once a month ...

We are from Steamboat Springs Colorado. We had made an appointment for 0900 today. It is now 1805 and we are just getting our dog from the clinic. We have been waiting in the parking lot for more than 9 hours. This is unacceptable. If you do travel from out of town be sure to find somewhere to spend...

Tessa Smith

Our dog, Stella, has had TPLO surgery on both of her hind legs. We could not be more appreciative of the level of kindness, care, and professionalism she received at Colorado Canine Orthopedics & Rehab. There is such a wonderful and reassuring feeling to watch her run pain free.

I definitely would highly recommend Colorado Canine Orthopedics to everyone!

Dr Riecks did the surgery for her. Absolutely wonderful j...

This has been a rough week for our family. Our beloved 4 year old dachshund cried when she was lifted up on Tuesday.

My dog has had knee surgery and hip surgery here. I feel like the staff treats him as if he is part of their family.

My 8 month French-bulldog fractured his elbow a year ago exactly. I followed all instructions and now you would never even know ... he jumps and runs around like nothing ever happened. Everyone at the facility was great from the surgeon to everyone who works at the front desk. Thank you guys!

I am not connected in any way with Colorado Canine Orthopedics and Rehab., nor have I received any compensation for this 5 Star review.

I wish I could give them a million stars! Our Bernese Mountain dog Emily was seen by Dr. Riecks and was diagnosed with not one, but two torn ACL's in her back legs. From the first visit we knew this was the place where we wanted Emily to have her surgery. The first impression we got was from Carly. ...

What a great experience we had at CCO! The staff (especially Janice, Janelle and Dr. Swainson) have been nothing short of wonderful.

What a great place. Dr Riecks helped my little Merlie when he broke his leg in 2016. They know what they're doing here. It's been nearly 3 years and Merlie is doing great! I highly recommend this place if your dog needs surgery to fix broken bones or any other surgery.

Lora H.

This specialty vet is special! So pleased with my experience here. My tiny chihuahua broke his left front leg in a terrible fall, he promptly had surgery with a boarded surgeon in denver. His leg was repaired with a metal plate and screws. 2 weeks later, the surgery failed and a second surgery was p...

My pup is doing great all thanks to the wonderful staff at Colorado Canine Orthopedics and Rehab! I felt very at home there and I could tell that he did too!

Seriously awesome place. My dog had a bad broken femur and he first place I called told me they couldn't take him till the next day or maybe even after the weekend, I was freaking out thinking my pup would be in pain that long!
