Dr. Jeffrey Edward Larson, MD

What a totally ignorant & arrogant person. I had surgery on 12/01 and I left the orthopedic hospital after hours. My pain medication that was prescribed by Dr Ryan Kehoe would not be covered by insurance because of the way it was written. I was told by hospital to call the "on call" doctor for Aspen orthopedics who happened to be Jeff Larson. He basically told me that it can be taken care of on Monday and hung up on me. What kind of a doctor leaves someone after surgery on a weekend with no pain medication??

I had to have a revision of a total knee replacement on my right knee. Dr. Larson was very thorough with eliminating any possible non surgery causes for the problems that I was having. I ended up having to have scar tissue removed and some bone matter also. He did an excellent job and has great follow through after the surgery. I am not sorry that I went to him, I wish that I had gone sooner.

I never met a Dr. so full of miss-diagnoses. No patient wants an alarmist, but this guy wants an easy out. Put in a hip, put in a knee, throw you to a PT person, and on with another implant. He's been around for a long time but doesn't know how to treat people. If things aren't going well , and you develope a complication, you are on your own. He actually gets angry when you dispute his diagnoses. A person usually knows what is going on with his or her own body. There are certainly much better doctors out there.

I'm sure he knows how to put in a knee or hip, but he is quick to "throw in the towel" when a complication arises. Follow up is poor, in fact, overall care, communication is very poor. Not a progressive guy. Shop around...you can do better.
