Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

TKR excellence
Dr. Loucks called me personally before my surgery and took the time to answer any questions I had. Like Dr. Loucks, his team were supportive and kind and on top of all the details. I cannot thank Dr.Loucks enough for his care. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Loucks and his team for those considering a joint replacement.

Kind, Thorough and Professional
Dr. Loucks’ office and staff were kind, friendly, helpful, efficient and knowledgeable. Melody/Melanie (?), Drs. Cone and Loucks patiently and thoroughly explained my hip issue, listened and responded thoroughly to my questions, and clearly and concisely explained their recommendations. Having worked in managed care for 20 years, I feel very fortunate that Dr. Loucks has designed the business model he has, allowing patients various options to benefit from his expertise.

Bad Hips
Dr. Loucks spent a good amount of time with me explaining what was going on with my hips and the treatment alternatives. I like the fact that we are trying the injection/pt route before going straight to surgery. I also feel like I know what to expect from surgery when it inevitably comes.

Awesome experience
Jill was wonderful on the phone, the office staff were friendly and efficient. Mel was very professional, and Dr Loucks explained the procedure he does, answered my questions, and even showed me a model of the implants. Lara called me to schedule as promised, and answered more questions. I couldn't feel any better about the upcoming surgery

Excellent
Dr. Loucks explained to me my hip issue that had been causing pain for a long time. The PA was very positive and helpful as well as the entire staff at the surgical center. Dr Loucks booklet and videos of what to expect and do before, during, and after recovery was very helpful and eliminated a lot of “worries”. I am very happy to be enjoying an active life again!

Stellar!!!!
All went well with my newly replaced hip this ski season. Skied 56 afternoons of double black diamond moguls the first season of my replacement. Hip is great. Would like a bionic body.

Dr Loucks saw me yesterday and was able to quickly diagnose what is causing my pain. I’m relieved to know it can be helped without surgery. He is very professional and thorough and I would highly recommend him.

Knee issue
Saw Dr. Loucks for a second opinion for a painful knee replacement. After a thorough exam of my knee, he recommended an injection. I’m pleased with the outcome so far. Almost pain free for the first time in over a year. Grateful that I got in to see him. Staff in the office were really nice.

An Exceptional Doctor
I recently travelled from Canada to Denver, Colorado, to have both of my hips replaced by Dr. Loucks of Peak Orthopedics & Spine. It was a daunting task to have undertaken from a personal, financial, emotional and physical standpoint, but having my hips replaced by Dr Loucks was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Dr Loucks and his team were awesome. They helped me at every step of the process, providing me with numerous videos that fully explained the procedure, as well as pre-operative guidance, special insurance for Canadians, post-operative expectations and activities, and even help with travel arrangements in the Denver area. His office responded promptly to my questions and Dr Loucks will continue to correspond with me as I recover. I would highly recommend anyone who is considering hip surgery to do it sooner rather than later. I also highly recommend the exceptional services of Dr. Loucks and his professional team at Peak Orthopedics & Spine.
