Pioneers Medical Center Recognized as a Top Hospital for Joint Replacement

Pioneers Medical Center has recently been named as one of the top 100 best hospitals in the country for joint replacement by Healthgrades, the #1 site used by Americans when searching for a doctor or a hospital. We’re honored to have received this recognition by one of the most prestigious consumer-focused healthcare platforms in the country.

Our team is committed to providing the highest quality care available, and we take great pride in the exceptional patient outcomes we achieve. Since opening in 2020, our orthopedics clinic, Colorado Advanced Orthopedics, has become a destination for many out-of-town patients seeking the exceptional joint replacement care we provide. Being recognized by Healthgrades is a testament to our ability to deliver the amazing care and overall experience our patients deserve.

An Experienced and Versatile Team of Orthopedic Surgeons

Our team contains some of the most experienced board-certified, Fellowship trained orthopedic surgeons in the area, and we use the latest and most advanced technology with all our joint replacement procedures. This has allowed our surgeons to achieve some of the best surgical outcomes in the country.

Pioneers Medical Center and Colorado Advanced Orthopedics have several surgeons who specialize in joint replacement surgery, including Dr. Keven Borchard (knee, hip and shoulder replacement), Dr. Dan Ward (knee and hip replacement), and Dr. Rhett Griggs (knee and shoulder replacement). These orthopedic surgeons have completed advanced Fellowship training in joint replacement procedures and have the experience necessary to deliver patient outcomes in these procedures that rival the results delivered in the top hospitals in major metropolitan areas.

While this Healthgrades Award focused on our team’s joint replacement outcomes, our orthopedics team possesses a diverse area of specializations and can address just about any orthopedic and sports injuries our patients experience. Our team includes surgeons with specializations in spine injuries, hand injuries, foot injuries, and general sports injuries. Patients throughout the Western Slope and across Colorado regularly visit Meeker to ensure they receive the best care available for the injury they’ve suffered.

Additional Healthgrades Awards Earned by PMC

Pioneers Medical Center has been recognized by Healthgrades several times in recent years for excellence in joint replacement. Some of the other awards we’ve earned include:

Raising the Bar for Orthopedic Care on the Western Slope

In 2020, Pioneers Medical Center opened our own in-house orthopedics clinic, Colorado Advanced Orthopedics (CAO). The purpose of CAO is to deliver the best quality patient care and achieve the best possible patient outcomes available. Since opening five years ago, CAO has been consistently raising the bar for orthopedic care along the Western Slope and has become the premier orthopedics clinic in the region.

Our team consists of board-certified, Fellowship trained orthopedic surgeons with a wide range of specializations, allowing our clinic to treat just about any orthopedic injury or condition you may have. Our specialists possess a level of expertise comparable to what is found at the best hospitals in major metropolitan areas, allowing us to deliver the same levels of care to our rural community that is usually reserved for people located near the big city.

In addition to being the go-to orthopedics provider for individuals living throughout the Western Slope, we also regularly treat patients from other areas of Colorado and across the country who are looking for the best possible care. We’re honored that our efforts have been recognized both by patients and prestigious organizations such as Healthgrades. Our team is always striving to stay on top of the latest techniques and technology so that we can continue to provide you with the best care available.
