From my very first visit three years ago with Dr. Schneider , he was very informative about the conditions of both my shoulders and what I would eventually need to get pain-free mobility back. He and his team was there 100% for me through all the processes I needed to go through for both of my shoulder replacements. Even the care that was given after surgery exceeded my expectations.

Dr. Schneider and his team were fantastic. They kept me well informed and comfortable before, during, and after my total shoulder replacement surgery. Should have done it sooner. Highly recommend Dr. Schneider and his team!!

Dr. Schneider is not just another surgeon. He is caring and a perfectionist. I felt like he most definitely wants the very best for me!

Dr. Schneider thoroughly explained in lay person’s terms the surgical procedure needed for my shoulder. He was professional, personable, and put me at ease. He shares multiple videos explaining what to expect before, during, and after surgery, so I was very well prepared. He came highly recommended to me and I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone with shoulder issues.

I had shoulder replacement surgery with Dr. Schneider and his team at Pure Orthopedics and OrthoColorado Hospital. I am thrilled! The recovery is a fraction of what I had expected, due in part to having almost no pain and to being very well prepared by the clinical team. Dr. Schneider's commitment to innovation and his passion for patient care and teamwork were clearly evident. The staff from both Pure Orthopedics and the hospital were exceptional: this was the first time in years I felt I received real care. They were attentive and did what they promised. They took time to be sure I had what I needed, helping not only with information, but also with my gaining confidence I would be able to handle recovery and physical therapy. I was ready for and confident in the surgery and the team and two weeks later, I am just delighted at my progress. I would not hesitate to return if needed for any surgery by this team of caring pros.

Always get the MRI after injury. After surgery I went from a sketchy weak offline 1O0 yard 7 iron to 175 yard 7 iron straight on target. (At age 68) I also recovered full strength a month and a half early in the PT/OT program. My OT therapist said he always does the best surgeries (elbow or shoulder) Elbow got trashed in a MVA. Two of the four finger tendons had been ripped off and debris in the joint was tearing/prying the remaining two with each shot. I had to have a full tennis elbow repair. All 4 finger tendons at the elbow anchor were regathered, rebundled and re-anchored perfectly. Dr Schneider actually wrote the book "The Invention of Surgery". I have a signed copy. I don't even register that I had a surgery now. It just feels right again.
