Dr. Michael Paul Wertz, MD

Dr. Wertz has been an outstanding surgeon for my knee replacement. I am now pain free when I walk. He listens to me and answers any questions that I have. Office visits are timely, and his staff is wonderful. I would recommend his services!

2-month recovery for left knee replacement & 9 days for right knee. Am now able to take 10-15 mile hikes w/no problems & climbed Mt. Elbert (highest mountain in Colorado) during the 2018 summer. I have been given a new lease on life thanks to the Conformis procedures used by Dr. Wertz for knee replacements. I rate him 5 plus.

He replaced both my knees several years ago and I have never had a problem with them. I trust him totally.

i came to him in the hospital with a septic hip that had locked , congestive heart failure, and kidney failure ... so a very complex and difficult case ... he made all the right decisions at just the right times over 6 weeks and 2 surgeries ... i am walking with my new hip pain free and 60 pounds lighter ... he literally saved my life .... he is a hall of fame doctor in my books and i would recommend him to anyone ...

Very cold and every time I visited him he was uncertain as to what is exactly wrong. I had 2 knee surgeries with him and still having issues. Looking for second opinion new from someone else. Don't get me wrong he is nice but a typical cold, quick conservation dr and I need more details as to what is going on and whether or not we should do another surgery or not. He was very unclear and hesitant when figuring out next steps.

This man made a big mistake on my surgery, and has not righted it.

This visit with Wertz was really a 2nd opinion. I'm not the type really concerned with a "bedside manner", I knew what the problem was, and he was forthright and to the point. That was fine with me, as I don't care about chit-chat, however he was friendly enough, and we even joked around a little bit. He validated the issue, and I was in out-patient surgery the following week. No muss, no fuss.

Even though the insurance company pre-approved my treatment, Dr Wertz insisted that I pay the full cost of my treatment upfront and told me he would refund my money after the insurance paid him. I explained that I did not have that amount of money and his office staff said I would not receive the treatment unless I paid upfront. So sad.

Dr. Wertz has always taken the time to ensure that all the options were explained and covered.

Mike is a wonderful doctor. He has worked on both my knees and now my elbow. I would trust no one other than Dr Wertz.

I went to see Dr. Wertz because a woman I met at swimming said she would trust her life to Dr. Wertz. He had totally reconstructed her left arm and shoulder after a serious car accident. No one would know by the way she swam. In 2008 Dr. Wertz operated on my frozen left shoulder joint, replacing the ball and repairing the socket. I had had a backward fall on black ice about 20 years previous and arthritis set in. I saw the proverbial stars but took most of my weight on the left elbow, jamming the bone into the shoulder. I now have full range of motion. This past year (2011, three years later) my right shoulder has gotten so painful and stiff that I am gratefully going to see Dr. Wertz soon. Recovery won't be easy since I am right handed. I am doing water aerobics to get my muscles in shape.You know,it's hard to swim with one arm. I can add that Dr.Wertz knows how to sew--my scar looks like a nearly invisible thread.

dr wertz treated me for a serious ankle injury 10 yrs ago. things may have changed since then, but my overall experience with him was good. i agree his bedside manner was not very warm or friendly, nor necessarily optimistic, but he did an excellent job of putting me back together! I was very impressed with the quality of his work. I suggest being prepared to ask questions if you want to know details. He was also willing to work with me on the payments as I was a cash client, and discounted quite a bit in the end, when I fulfilled my agreement with him.. I would not hesitate to go to him again if need be.

Dr. Wertz was very thorough and compassionate. He spent time with me going over the operative procedure and rehabilitation. I had an excellent surgical result and am very happy with my new total knee

I had to wait about twenty minutes to see him. I provided him with my MRI, and he was quick to suggest surgery. I can't speak to whether or not he is good at diagnosing and treating, as I'm getting multiple opinions, but I can say with certainty he's in his profession for the money. He is cold and generally uninterested.

Waited over an hour to see him with no once saying there would be a wait or apologizing. Told only to bring MRI, then, once there had to get x-rays that the doctor did not show me, but just told me that from his looking a them, thta I needed surgery, then, the only thing he did was tell me and show me an old fashioned joint replacement that he wouldn't be using! All in all, unprofessional and unsatisfactory and a waste of my time and a waste of my insurance.....

Not a nice person.
