Animas Orthopedic Associates 575 Rivergate Lane, Durango, CO 81301

"Dr. Jake Wilkerson is an incredible surgeon and an all around caring, dedicated and truly comprehensive doctor. Dr. Wilkerson took the time to fully understand and evaluate the various aspects of my hip issues (necrosis, pelvic torsion, osteoporosis). He combined his expertise with my input and thoroughly considered my unique situation. He gathered key preop data and took the necessary time in surgery to ensure optimal results. AND he is so nice and easy to talk to. I could not be happier with my surgical outcomes! I have a new hip and I have my life back!! I can walk smoothly, have no pain and can return to the active lifestyle I love. Thank you Dr. Wilkerson and thank you Animas Orthopedics Associates!!! The expertise and the care you provide is life changing."

"Tell Dr Phipps thank you for seeing me quickly. Tell him the steroid injection was a miracle. The best part was the assurance that it wouldn’t be dangerous to restart activities"

"Had surgery 3 weeks ago at Animas Surgical Hospital. The staff was wonderful and the doctors and nurses were friendly, helpful, and there anytime I needed them. My surgeon, Dr. Hammond, told me what would happen every step of the way. He is very good at his job, and I think he is the best. No problems and no complications. I have had both knees replaced and they are working very well. The first was done 3 years ago and this one almost 3 weeks now. The recovery time has been quicker now with this one and I am so thankful that Dr Hammond and his staff are even better than they were just 3 years ago. He now uses robotic assist. My recovery is even faster now. They are a terrific team. Thank you AOA and Animas Surgical Hospital."

"Excellent care. DR Phipps is amazing. He is kind, thorough, has a sense of humor and made me feel I was his only patient. The rest of the staff was also kind and professional. I felt well cared for. Only glitch was with the news ignored in computer system, which cancel my appointment by accident, but all was well in the end. Love them all for taking such good care of me from broke hip to surgery to recovery. Thank you ALL."

"This facility and the physicians that practice there are phenomenal. The care received during surgery is the best I have ever had. Their care is personal, informative and like you would expect to receive, but do not receive from other facilities. The physicians are knowledgeable, listen to your concerns and answer your questions. They are never in a hurry to leave the treatment rooms, until you have received answers to your questions or concerns. I would recommend using this facility and their physicians for all of your orthopedic care."
