“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!”

“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!”

John | Centennial, CO


“Dr. Falukner truly is one of the most sincere, kind, compassionate, patient, professional, and detail-oriented health care providers I’ve ever had the privilege to meet. He takes the time to listen to all of your concerns and leaves you feeling confident in the care you receive. By not only confirming his understanding of your current medical state with verbal responses he physically checks the joints to explore movement and to “feel” what your concerns are. His level of care is special and rare.”
