Dr. Faulkner's Patient Testimonials

It's been a long, humbling journey but I feel my legs are in the best shape they've been in years. I want to thank you for the phenomenal work you performed on my knee, you can't tell I had surgery by looking at it and I bounced back quicker then I expected. You're a master of your craft. Definitely a team effort with you, Cara and my physical therapists and I couldn't have done it without you guys.

Hello! My name is Jodaun Dotson and I had the honor of being named Team Captain of the Aurora Rangeview Basketball team that won 2019 Colorado State Championship. After the season, I went to Colorado Orthopedic Consultants to see what was causing some pain in my hip. After consultation with Dr. Faulkner, it was clear that surgery was needed. Dr. Faulkner and his staff were fantastic throughout the entire procedure and my family couldn't have been more pleased with the results of the surgery and the care we received. As a young athlete, it's scary to go under the knife, but their attention to detail and clear explanations of what I could expect made me confident that they'd have me back on track to resume competing in the sport I love in no time. The surgery (hip arthroscopy and labral repair) went well. Dr. Faulkner was able to clean up the area and repair the damage, and at this point, I have no pain and am back to running, jumping, and cutting like before. I highly recommend Dr. Faulkner and his staff at Colorado Orthopedic Consultants!

I was referred to Dr. Faulkner by my general doctor and I am so glad she made this recommendation. It was discovered I had a 270 degree SLAP injury but surgery was postponed by a little over two months due to the COVID outbreak.

My surgery went without a hitch and my recovery time was ahead by 4-6 weeks. I had no problems out of surgery and was out of the sling in a week. The pain was tolerable and I was off of the “hard” medicine within 3 days. Oh by the way my age is not that young; I am 57 years old and I had this quick recovery which I attribute to the doctor’s skills.

I would recommend Dr. Faulkner not only because of his great surgical skills, he has an amazing positive attitude and always has a smile.

I have been a patient of Dr. Faulkner for over 10 years. He and Cara Cohn, PA , got me ready for my recent shoulder surgery (shoulder replacement), which was very successful, and they got me through my recovery process. They did a great job and I am very thankful. They are highly recommended.

Dr. Faulkner performed meniscus repair on both my legs. He was thorough, patient and highly knowledgeable. After both procedures he followed up with calls and e-mails explaining the outcome in detail with pictures.
Fantastic man and a fantastic doctor, I would recommend him to family and friends!

Hi, I’m Janine and I met Dr. Faulkner after a rotator cuff injury (three tears and a detached bicep muscle). Dr. Faulkner and his staff were incredibly personable and professional. The surgery was 100% successful. The rehab that Dr. Faulkner had me follow resulted in total use and function of my shoulder.
I totally recommend Dr. Faulkner.

March 2019, Dr. Faulkner performed a total right shoulder replacement on me when I was 69 years old. Three months later I was fly fishing Gunnison Gorge and four months after surgery I was back to playing golf. Dr. Faulkner was very caring and always gave his full attention to me on my visits. He did a great job on my shoulder and if I need more orthopedic help in the future I will definitely go to Dr. Faulkner. I highly recommend him and his office personnel.

In May of 2019 Dr. Faulkner performed a total reverse shoulder replacement on my right shoulder. Every step from initial MRI, through CT scan, surgery, and physical therapy was handled with clear professionalism, patience, and good humor. Options were clearly stated, questions were answered in non and pro medical speak, and sometimes repeated with no impatience. Dr. Faulkner and his entire team greeted you with genuine good humor and care. The shoulder, a year out is, 95% and improving. Thank you, Dr. Faulkner, for everything.

In meeting Dr. Faulkner you are immediately put at ease. I had a lot of questions about a full shoulder replacement and he took the time to answer them all in a way I was able to understand. His staff was also extremely helpful throughout my whole procedure especially Kamie.

Dr. Faulkner came highly recommended by two of my friends and I would surely highly recommend him also.

I am back to using my shoulder doing everything that I had done previous to my shoulder problems. Actually I forget that I ever needed and that I ever had a complete shoulder replacement surgery. THANK YOU DR. FAULKNER."

I was involved in a motorcycle accident and Dr. Faulkner performed surgery to repair a broken arm and broken leg. The injuries were pretty dramatic but he did an excellent job of repairing the limbs. I am anticipating total recovery because of his knowledge and surgery skills. I can recommend him without any reservations!

Dr. Faulkner is amazing. From the first time I met him he was truly concerned about my care. I fractured my knee cap and he fixed it. You can hardly see where the incision was. His staff is also very friendly and they are right there for you.

The level of care I received from Dr. Faulkner was stupendous. Even with a 2nd ACL reconstruction…Thank you for an incredible outcome and getting me back to doing what I love!

Hey Dr. Faulkner! 16 months post ACL surgery and I am an Ironman! Knee felt great the entire day. Thanks for fixing me!

Dr Faulkner is an amazing & professional doctor. I underwent surgery for a torn rotary cup & he clarified specific details so I could comprehend everything. He takes the time to listen to your concerns which leaves you feeling positive with the care you will obtain. He’s very knowledge in the medical treatments confirming his understanding of your current circumstance(s). Due to his surgical abilities, I was able to attend physical therapy for 3 mo instead of 6 mo! Thank you for everything!

Dr. Faulkner performed surgery on my shoulder in mid 2018 where he repaired 90% of my shoulder’s labrum. Being 43 years old, doing a ton of research on this type of surgery where a labrum was that torn, I had my doubts that I would ever be able to make a full recovery. Because of Dr. Faulkner’s great work, not only was I able to make a full recovery, but I came out stronger than before. After following the Dr.’s orders and doing my my rehab religiously, I now hold the US National Record for Deadlifting and sit 3rd in the world for my age and weight class. This would not be possible without Dr. Faulkner’s skillset during my surgery. In addition, Dr. Faulkner is such a great, caring doctor and I truly believe that he finds joy in helping people heal and reach their full potential by living injury free.
