As a grandmother of 6 and an outdoor enthusist, the need for meniscal repair became mandatory! I wanted to continue my skiing, hiking, bicycling, and racketball, as well as be able to keep up with those active kiddos. Dr. Royce was an answer to my prayers. He understood that the 2 years of cortisone injections had run their course. We scheduled my knee surgery and follow up visits. My PT began and ended...I was out bike riding, hiking and chasing grandkids at the 8 week point! I? anxious for ski season to start again! I highly recommend Dr Royce to anyone that needs to get back into outdoor life or LIFE in general ! He is professional and accurate in his diagnosing. He listens carefully with sincere concern. His compassionate bedside manner assures you that you are in good hands. Call him today if you are serious about changing your involvement in LIFE !

I have blood clots in both legs and can't have knee replacement surgery right now. Dr. Royce has kept me walking with alternating knee injections, and a lot of good suggestions. He is the kindest physician I have ever been too.

I wish I had read reviews before I went to doctor Royce. I went to his office and he ordered a MRI for me. It returned that I had a blood clot. His office and staff quickly washed their hands of me...cancelled my follow-up appointment I had scheduled to tell me the actual results of injury - his office would NOT tell me the results and passed me off to my PCP. His nurse had the nerve to push me off on my PCP (for learning the actual results of the MRI aside from the blood clot) and said if I need anything in the future to call. Not a chance I would ever go back to Royce.

Dr Royce is a terrific orthopedic surgeon who showed kindness and interest in me as a patient. My surgery went well and I am pleased with results. Even if the wait was a but long, I never felt like the visit with him was rushed. I highly recommend him both as a surgeon and a person.

My experience with front range orthodox was long wait to see the doctor but this was the same for other Otho doctors in the area. Excellent care by the doctor and his PA. Small scar left by knee replacement was a bonus. Very pleased with replacement that I had put off for several years.

Cannot recommend this doctor. Left in office for more than 45 minutes. Had to ask if he was coming or even knew I was here. Rushed visit with him and now paying a lot for X-rays I'm pretty confident were never reviewed. Horrible experience.
