Dr. Millett & his entire team are incredible!! They are without a doubt the best orthopedic team in the world. I came to Dr. Millett after seeing over a dozen surgeons, all of which did not know how to fix the issue. Dr. Millett fixed what so many surgeons told me was impossible. I am so blessed to have Dr. Millett and his team. They are the best in the field. I will only trust Dr. Millett & his team with my orthopedic care for life!

I went to Dr. Millett after 7 knee surgeries (6 on my right and 1 on my left) and had seen 11 different surgeons who all refused to remove femur metal from my right leg. I am highly allergic to metal and the chronic pain was leaving me bedridden for 3.5wks out of a month. He personally wrote me back on my inquiry, listened to my concerns, scheduled my surgery within a week (due to insurance issues) and personally followed up with my recovery. The level of patient care from Dr. Millett and his ENTIRE team is above any care I have ever received in my 20 years of dealing with orthopedic surgeons. There are not enough words to describe the level of care, dedication and professionalism you receive from Dr. Millett and his staff. My only disappointment is that I did not find him sooner!!!

I'm a 48 year old "extreme sports" competitor not willing to give up this lifestyle. Went to other Doctors about my degenerative shoulder, all of them said "give it up." WRONG ANSWER! Found Dr. Millett on a visit to Vail. That team quickly assessed me (xray, MRI) explained to me that a total shoulder replacement is the only option. Then they said 100% return to sport! RIGHT ANSWER! Of course with the disclaimer that if I tried hard enough it could go South. I said yes! Scheduling was a breeze. The staff handled everything. I did 2 months of "prehab" to get it as strong as I could. Then surgery on Oct 16, 2020. Rehab/PT for the next 3 months 3 days a week. My expectations were blown away! My scar is hardly noticable, I'm totally pain free, my range of motion is better than it's been in years and I'm stronger than ever!. By month 4, I am riding/flying mountain bikes (full on) returned to vertical skateboarding and kayaking. 100%. I wouldn't go any place else! Thank you

If you've injured your shoulder please go to Dr. Millett if you possibly can. After 2 failed rotator cuff repairs he finally got mine right. Then my other shoulder failed and he fixed that one right-the first time-too. He is brilliant and absolutely top notch. Do not trust your body to anyone else.

Knee surgery

We were referred to Dr. Millet by our health concierge Pinnacle Health, and were provided his bio which is unbelievably impressive, on top of the stellar reputation of the Steadman clinic. We traveled two hours to see Dr. Millet for a consultation which was the 2nd opinion I obtained. He spent a lot of time with me, was very patient, kind and thorough. He was able to find the precise area of pain in my knee and told me why I needed to have it surgically repaired. I am about two months out from surgery and have had a spectacular result with no pain. I could have walked out of the surgery center without crutches! Prior to surgery I would wake almost nightly aching. The follow up and the entire team has been extraordinary. Dr. Millet has been responsive to all inquiries and I couldn't think of anything that wasn't at my level of expectation of greater!! I am very grateful for the entire experience.

Outstanding results!!! Was able to play tennis again with absolutely no shoulder pain thanks to Dr Millet!!!

I was in a serious high speed rollover car accident that almost took my life I spent 8 days in ICU and the doctors were not confident that I was going to be able to keep my left arm because I had significant damage caused by the seatbelt. I went to 2 different surgeon's to have them look at my shoulder and see if they could repair it the first doctor said that he was not comfortable doing any type of surgery on it so I went to my trama surgeon's office shoulder specialist and his bedside manner was horrible and all he wanted to do was a full replacement so I started my search for the best shoulder surgeon in the United States and Dr Millett was at the top of the list. I set up a consultation with him and his team and immediately felt like I was his only patient. After talking with him and his PA we decided that he could go in and clean up the area and relieve my pain and return most if not all of my motion as we felt that I was to young for a full replacement. Following surgery I had

I cannot imagine a better experience than with Dr. Millett and his team. They are profession empathic kind and amazingly efficient

Dr. Millett is the best !!! After an accident left my shoulder torn and weak he was able to fix the Rotator Cuff tendons and make everything great again. Whether you are a resident of western Colorado or any place he is the only one to consider for these repairs. Surgery was a breeze and recovery was much faster than I expected.

I am SO fortunate to have found Dr. Millett and the Steadman Clinic. Dr. Millett is a world class surgeon as well as a very empathetic and caring person with a fantastic team of assistants and supporting staff. Earlier in 2019, Dr. Millett diagnosed and repaired my chronic shoulder issue (SSN) that had been misdiagnosed for almost 15 years. However, due to years of compensating for SSN, I had also developed elbow issues. In the past, I had been diagnosed with tennis elbow, but that didn’t seem to be the main problem. After initial conservative elbow treatment following my shoulder surgery, Dr. Millett determined that there were other issues within my elbow and recommended surgery. After a clean-up to remove extensive scar tissue and bone spurs within my elbow, I am now virtually pain. Thanks to Dr. Millett and his team, I continue to gain strength and have no pain in my shoulder and elbow. I give Dr. Millett, his entire team, and the Steadman Clinic my highest recommendation

I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and first showed up at Dr Millett's door in 2006 for my left shoulder. I previously had avascular necrosis and a hemi-arthroplasty (partial replacement) at the Hospital for Joint Disease in NYC by Dr Zuckerman (the department head at the time). Well it turned out he had "overstuffed" my EDS shoulder and made more of a mess than anything else. So Dr Millett is who "salvaged" my left shoulder. He allografted my stretched out ligaments (a procedure that no one else was doing on shoulders back then), re attached my blown out rotator cuff, down sized my over sized humeral head prosthetic and basically gave me the chance at a functional shoulder again. In 2010 Dr Millett performed a total shoulder arthroplasty on me b/c by then the socket had degraded severely from improper biomechanics. At the end of the day, I consider my left shoulder to be a work of medical art created by Dr Peter Millett.

Peter did the wrong operation on me. I've since spent 20,000 to have my shoulder surgery with him reversed. Peter is a criminal and a liar. Go to him if you would like to be injured.

The positive reviews are a lie. Likely by him or a staff member he has paid. They're good at their job. Don't be fooled. I get it you think you're special. God loves you. Go to him and you will find out otherwise.

A friend of mine recommended Dr. Millett to me. I've even seen him on the slopes. That being said, I couldn't say worse things about this man. He spent less than 3 minutes with me before recommending surgery on a 3 month old shoulder injury. His staff spent 30 minutes. I'm now a year post op and my shoulder screams at me on a daily basis. My new surgeon said that my injury should never have been operated on 3 months after the fact. Dr. Millett is greedy and will lie to you for money, I would advise anyone reading this to go to him, you'll get what you deserve.

My son had a complicated meniscus repair(after 2 surgeries by another surgeon). We flew from Michigan to Colorado because his surgeon here said you only get one good chance to repair a meniscus and he would never play sports again. He was 15 and this was devastating. His PT told us about Dr Millett and we never looked back. From day one the staff was amazing! Helped us every step of the way in coordinating the trip and paperwork, etc. Every staff member came and introduced themselves to us when we arrived! Dr Millett was so positive and it made a world of difference to ease my son's nerves. Needless to say, the surgery went great and he is back on the football field and wrestling mat. Fast forward 2 years....He made All State in both sports and the Michigan Dream team for both sports. He is currently getting full ride offers for college! Had we not found Dr Millett, I hate to think where he'd be. Very thankful for this team at Steadman Clinic!

I tore my ACL in a skiing accident and ended up going to Dr. Millett because he was in the area. He assured me that it could easily be fixed. It turns out that he did not place the graft properly. The surgeon who revised it less than 6 months later said he placed the femoral tunnel too anteriorly. I wouldn’t recommend using Dr. Millett for any advanced problems if he can’t even do a simple ACL repair.

Excellent surgeon with a great bedside manor. Very glad I traveled to Vail to have Dr. Millett repair my shoulder. It now feels great and I am back to doing all the things I love to do.

Dr. Millett and his staff are phenomenal. This was my 3rd knee surgery and by far the best overall experience I've ever had. This being the second ACL replacement on my right knee and the first meniscus repair, I relied heavily on Dr. Millett to explain my options. He did an amazing job stitching the meniscus and attaching a new ACL. My 6 week follow-up proved that everything is going well. Thank you Dr. Millett and team Joe, Jason and Brian.
