Dr Pehler has been my orthopedic doctor for several years; he performed successful surgery on my neck and has followed up on issues related to back surgery, again for years. He is thorough, listens carefully and has resolved issues through physical therapy or injections when warranted or surgery when necessary. I trust him to be a first class physician.

Dr. Pehler is so nice and very intelligent in his practice. I had a 3 disc fusion and he was awesome. He took excellent care of me. I would definitely recommend him to everybody. Dr peeler is very professional yet he's very and during the office visit he treats you more like a friend than a patient he's very likable. Honestly I just couldn't say enough about this doctor and that's how good I think he is and I've had plenty of surgeons operate on me and he is by far the best..

I would and have recommended Dr. Pehler to anyone suffering g back or neck pain. He takes his time with you and explains everything, and will take the time to figure out what is wrong and the best course of action that needs to be taken.

I have been to Colorado Orthopedic Consultants for a few visits. Dr. Pehler is certainly a doctor where he does not rush through his opinion and is very thoughtful about making a diagnosis and what surgery if any is necessary. I would suggest anyone with spine issues see him. Their staff is also thoughtful and very thorough. PS, they do have two offices: Aurora and Centennial. I have not experienced any excessive waiting time either.
