MEEKER, CO, UNITED STATES, February 28, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Colorado Advanced Orthopedics, Sports Medicine and Spine (CAO) in Meeker, CO has added Dr. Rhett Griggs to its surgical team. The orthopedic surgeon has a fellowship in shoulder, elbow and hand surgery, providing the clinic additional specialization in the treatment of these complex injuries.

Dr. Griggs practiced in Gunnison and Crested Butte prior to joining CAO. In his new role, he will focus on knee and shoulder arthroscopy, sports medicine, upper extremity and hand surgery, and fracture care.

“Dr. Griggs is a perfect fit for our orthopedic surgical team,” said Liz Sellers, CEO of Pioneers Medical Center. “Pioneers Medical Center has always maintained a focus on patient-centered care. As our orthopedics program grows, our primary focus will always be our patients. Dr. Griggs shares these same goals, principles, and commitment to the patient.”

With his advanced fellowship training and 14 years of experience in sports trauma practice, Dr. Griggs brings tremendous expertise to CAO, helping the clinic to continue raising the bar for orthopedic care along the Western Slope. In addition, his patient care philosophy is truly aligned with the CAO team, as his primary focus is on providing an amazing experience to every patient he treats.

“I give patients opinions and explanations for their conditions, the same as I would my friends and family,” said Dr. Griggs. “The human aspect of medicine is critical. I focus on the patient, not patient volume. I strive to help individuals get back to living the life they love, perhaps even better than before!”
