Advanced Hip & Knee Replacement. For Canadians.

A more direct path to the care you need.

If you are a Canadian living with debilitating hip or knee arthritis, you may be facing a long wait for joint replacement surgery—or simply looking for a more personalized surgical experience.

Through Canadian Concierge Orthopedics (CCO), I offer Canadian patients access to advanced total hip and total knee replacement surgery in Denver, Colorado, with a streamlined, concierge approach designed around your needs.

CCO was created by Canadian-trained orthopedic surgeons who understand the Canadian healthcare system and the challenges patients can face when waiting for joint replacement surgery.

Why Canadians choose CCO

Access to experienced orthopedic surgeons

CCO is led by Canadian-trained orthopedic surgeons practicing in Denver, Colorado. Collectively, our surgeons have more than 55 years of orthopedic experience and have performed more than 20,000 joint replacements.

Advanced surgical techniques

Our practice focuses on modern approaches to hip and knee replacement, including:

  • Direct Anterior Total Hip Replacement
  • Patient-specific, kinematically aligned Total Knee Replacement
  • Modern minimally invasive surgical techniques
  • Personalized surgical planning

A concierge experience

From your initial virtual consultation through surgery and your return home, we coordinate the process to make your experience as straightforward as possible. Your care can include:

  • Virtual orthopedic consultation
  • Review of your medical records and imaging
  • Personalized surgical planning
  • Preoperative coordination
  • Surgery in Denver
  • Dedicated perioperative support
  • Coordination with your local healthcare providers
  • Postoperative follow-up and communication

A simpler alternative to waiting.

For many Canadians, the decision is not simply about surgery—it is about time, access and certainty.

If your hip or knee replacement is affecting your mobility, sleep, work, travel or quality of life, you may not want to wait months or longer for treatment.

CCO provides a private-pay pathway that allows eligible patients to pursue surgery on a timeline that works for them.

Transparent, all-inclusive pricing

Our concierge hip and knee replacement program is designed to provide clear, predictable pricing without the complexity of navigating multiple private healthcare providers.

Total Hip or Total Knee Replacement

$19,995 USD

Our goal is to provide an exceptional surgical experience at a price that is competitive with—and in many cases below—the cost of comparable private joint replacement care available in Canada.

My concierge pricing is all inclusive of consults, surgical fees, facility fees, anesthesia and implants.

Your individual circumstances will determine exactly what care is appropriate, and pricing and inclusions will be reviewed with you before proceeding.

Care in Denver. Support at home.

You do not need to relocate or establish an ongoing medical practice in the United States.

We help coordinate your surgical experience in Denver while working with you and your healthcare providers in Canada to facilitate your recovery after you return home.

Where appropriate, we can communicate with your family physician, physiotherapist and other members of your local care team.
