Dr. Adam Seidl, MD

Consulting with Dr. Seidl was a huge waste of my time and money. He walked into the room to meet me and didn't even make eye contact. He introduced himself while looking at a piece of paper and kept asking me why I was coming to see him.I have seen many doctors and I haven't had an a consultation with a doctor this dismissive in years.He acted like I was wasting his time and he was very abrupt with me. He didn't ask many further questions and when I asked for advice or guidance, he told me to just consult other doctors. I told him that's what I was doing by coming to him and he just kept telling me he didn't know why I was seeing him.It was a very frustrating experience and I wish I had saved my time and never made an appointment with him at all.

After 2 other orthopedic surgeons had no idea what was going on with my shoulders, Dr. Seidl diagnosed me within minutes. I am finally doing the proper PT (what I was doing previously was making things worse) and seeing improvement. After 2 years of dealing with these shoulder issues and no doctor being able to figure out what was going on, I was very pleased with Dr. Seidl's knowledge and ability to diagnose.

I have had both knees and shoulders replaced – so I have a lot of experience with orthopedic surgeons. This latest occasion I needed a shoulder revision, which is a replacement of a replacement. Not all orthopedic replacement specialists will even consider doing a revision. I interviewed 5 surgeons who specialize in shoulder revisions – literally the best of the best in Colorado. I chose Dr. Seidl because I had a somewhat special situation and he demonstrated great confidence that he could avoid the complications (such as two surgeries to do the job and/or lengthy rehabilitation) that the other orthopedists expressed concerns about. All went extremely well. Zero complications. And I have full and complete arm motion as a result – something the other doctors warned would likely not be achievable. Thank you very much Dr. Seidl!

Over the past 25 years, I’ve had 2 shoulder replacement surgeries and a rotator cuff surgery on my left shoulder, prior to being referred to Dr Seidl, who performed a total-reverse shoulder replacement last year on the same shoulder. I endured pain in that joint area and limited range of motion for many years; and now, I couldn’t be more satisfied with the results of Dr Seidl’s skill and care. I no longer have pain, and my range of motion is greatly improved. Dr Seidl is very calm, clear and direct, and his follow up care, post surgery, is excellent. He listens carefully to concerns and addresses each one with patience and clarity. I have recommended him to others and will continue to do so.

I had a complete tear of my rotator cuff. I was very fortunate to be referred to Dr. Seidl from a friend. Dr. Seidl has a great bedside manner, he took the time to explain everything to me snd give me my options. I felt very comfortable with him and decided on surgery. My surgery was at the UC Health hospital in Highlands Ranch. Everyone I dealt with was exceptional, from the welcome staff, to the check in staff, to the nursing staff, the anesthesiologist and of course Dr. Seidl. This surgery was very painful, but I knew that going in. I’m 6 weeks post op and looking forward to getting my range of motion snd strength back. I also need to comment on how well Dr. Seidel’s support staff work together. They are truly a team. Everyone was wonderful. If you have to have shoulder surgery, Dr. Seidl must be your choice.

Dr Seidl replaced my shoulder joint which another Dr. had incorrectly placed. This ended 5 years of pain and I'm able to do things which I couldn't do in a long time. Very nice Dr. and staff, very clean and attractive offices. I would give Dr. Seidl 6 stars if another was allowed.

I saw Der. Seidl today for what I thought might be a rotator cuff problem which actually turned out to be arthritis. I ended up with a cortisone shot which I hope will work. Dr. Seidl and his team are kind, caring and considerate. They listened to all my concerns, took the time to explain everything to me and let me know what my options were. Fortunately, I do not have to go back unless the cortisone does not work. The whole process from checking in to checking out, including treatment took 1.5 hrs. I am more than pleased with my visit. I give Dr. Seidl and his staff my highest compliments and my highest recommendation. Wish it could be more than 5 stars!!!!

I have had arthritis in my shoulders for the last five years. It had gotten so bad I had to move into assisted living. Because I have had 10 knee surgeries, I had been very reluctant to have shoulder replacement. Finally, I was in so much pain, I had a reverse shoulder replacement with bone grafts by Dr. Seidl in Jan. What a miracle! I have no pain, I can shower and dress myself for the first time in a year and will be moving to independent living shortly. I plan to have the other shoulder replaced the end of the year. Dr. Seidl is a miracle worker and I would not have any other surgeon.

Dr. Adam J. Seidi performed shoulder replacement surgery on me one year ago and I just had my 1yr post-op check up. I can't begin to say how very pleased I am with the entire process from beginning to end. Not only is the pain gone, my mobility is better and I'm still as strong as I was before surgery. All because I had a great surgeon.

The reason my shoulders fell apart is just a guess. It could’ve been 30 years of swimming with a flawed stroke, or some genetic flaw. As more cartilage disappeared and bone spurs grew to take its place, something had to be done. Using stem cells wasn’t far enough along to address such a complex problem, and “cleaning up” the joints by grinding down the spurs didn’t guarantee they wouldn’t return. The alternative was joint replacement. New composite parts inserted; the original, troubled ball and socket removed. Game on! Recovery was predictable: 3 months after surgery, limited range of motion. At 6 months, use of light weights. A year later, the shoulder functioned as “normal.” I credit a dedicated physical therapist, reasonable expectations, and a very skilled surgeon. Dr. Seidl assessed the challenge, presented his plan and performed the operation. I am now pain free and able to do everyday functions, sleep on my side and live as if there was never an issue, or the next best thing.

Had "massive rotator cuff repair" surgery on 6/12/18. I know it sounds impossible, but I experienced little to no pain from the procedure. I was off all pain meds w/in 24 hours except anti-inflammatories. Also, 90% of inflammation was gone w/in 48 hours. Dr Seidl's surgery technique is far above the norm, possibly the pinnacle. He is the only surgeon I would ever consider for future shoulder surgery no matter what I would have to do to make that happen.

A few months ago I suffered a rare and dangerous posterior dislocation of my clavicle. I was completely unable to move my right (dominant) arm, and the dislocated clavicle was threatening to puncture the large blood vessels that come in and out of my heart. From what I understand, very few surgeons are experienced, or even capable of performing a reconstruction of the sternoclavicular joint. Dr. Seidel (along with Dr. Melissa Gorman) did the surgery, and I couldn't be happier with the results.

Dr. Seidl did a total shoulder replacement for me in November 2017. I interviewed other surgeons before choosing Dr. Seidl. I chose him because I trusted him, his manner gave me confidence. He answered every question and eased my concerns. He exceeded my expectations. I woke up from surgery pain free (I had been in pain for years) and at three months was released to return to all activities. I was golfing in Hawaii 3.5 months after my surgery. He is an excellent caring surgeon.

I'll first disclose that I work for the UCHealth marketing team. But I'm writing this review based on my experience with Dr. Seidl as a patient, because he performed shoulder surgery on me recently. My biceps tendon was torn and my rotator cuff was nearly fully separated, so it was a pretty significant surgery. The job Dr. Seidl did on my shoulder, as well as the experience I had with the entire team at UCH during the surgery, was second-to-none. I couldn't recommend him enough.

Being in the local Healthcare field, and knowing who is "good", I chose Dr Seidl, the best shoulder surgeon in my opinion, I am VERY pleased with the results for my rotator cuff surgery and would not hesitate to refer anyone to Dr Seidl. He is knowledgeable, has great patience with all my questions, and above all, a skilled surgeon.

I had a complete tear of my rotator cuff and also my bicep tendon. I had been in pain for about 2 yrs. Dr. Seidl did an arthroscopic repair with bicep tenodesis. I am without pain and have almost my full range of motion back. I am an OR nurse and was quite impressed with Dr. Seidl’s surgical skills as well as his professionalism. He took the time to answer ALL my questions at every opportunity. I highly recommend him for anyone needing shoulder surgery!!

I had a total shoulder replacement done by Dr. Seidl in September of 2017, and at six months post-op the results are everything that I could have hoped for; 95% restored range of motion, and virtual elimination of arthritic pain The whole process was about as good as it could be. The UC/Anschutz medical center is first rate and our experience with the staff there was outstanding. Even the food is good! Beyond obvious technical competence, Dr. Seidl is easy and pleasant to deal with and I have

After having severe joint damage from RA the wear and tear on a previous shoulder replacement left other surgeons turning me away I'm so greatful for Dr Seidl A redo and beautiful bone graft the shoulder is doing great So happy and my whole family impressed He is now my go-to orthopedic surgeon I drive 300 miles across a mountain for him

Dr Seidl did a complete shoulder replacement to fix the repair that didn't last from a previous surgery. He told me the pain would be gone immediately and he was right! I followed his aftercare instructions and I am still pain free with more range of motion than I had before. He is a wonderful caring doctor.

Dr. Seidl is very personable and compassionate. Because he knew I was anxious about the MRI findings, he took the time to call me on a Saturday with the results. I appreciate the conservative approach to treatment he took with surgery as the last resort. He repaired both tears in my rotator cuff. I am 6 months out from surgery and doing very well. Dr.Seidl is a great person and a gifted surgeon.
