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. He had us in and out in good time so we could travel the 5+ hours h...Read More

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.

The staff is all amazing there! My dog is doing great! I have no complaints and I’m thankful they were able to help my baby get back to normal:

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 ...Read More

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...Read More

Colorado Canine Orthopedics is amazing! They always take such good care of my pup. They really care and go the extra mile.

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!

Kate Powell

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.

Shorty Smith

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...Read More

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...Read More

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.

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.

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!!

Anita Paas

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 ...Read More

Wonderful, caring staff. Dr. DeTora bent over backward to make sure we understood everything about the surgeries and recovery for our dog. Well worth the travel time to have Canine Orthopedics take care of our Cinco!

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.
