Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Don't look here! -5 rating
Dr Rahill did a hip replacement on me which collapsed when I stood the 1st time with PT. I told them something went wrong but NO ONE, including Rahill would listen to me. The pain was unbearable! He told me I 'better go to rehab or he'd send me home'. I have a high pain tolerance but this was horrible. He left town without having another Dr. even cover his in hospital patients. I was even accused of seeking narcotics!! In rehab after 1 week of doing PT, the rehab Dr finally ordered x-rays. I had collapsed hip and now a fractured pelvis. It took a TRAUMA Dr. 5 hours to fix! 6 months later 1 was learning to walk again. If you need an orthopedist, keep looking!!

Worst experience with a Dr in my life
I had a broken ankle, which Dr. Rayhill did surgery on. We waited for over 2 hours at one appointment only to have him come in and say he wouldn't be answering any of my questions. When I thought he was kidding and asked one anyway (if I could stop taking one of the medications) he responded with 'I'm so sick of everyone asking me this'. He was rude, he didn't respond to my phone calls for physical therapy. I was very disappointed in my care and have told everyone I meet the same thing. For background information, I was assigned this surgeon from the ER, I wouldn't have picked him otherwise.

Absolutely horrible. No tact, DIDNT seem to care about my concerns. Told me my MRI results were pointless, getting an MRI was pointless. And told me that the only thing that could fix me was a shot- which I explained I cannot do due to reactions, continued to push it and gave absolutely no additional pathways to healing. Completely rude, uncaring, not considerate, and overall just a negative environment. I will not be returning and will be out reaching for a second opinion.

Dr.Rahill has been a blessing in helping me return to a being mobile. I met Dr.Rahill many years ago after a misdiagnosis from another provider. Dr.Rahill repaired my knee and since has been my go to another sports medclicine related. I habe referred multiple friends, coworkers and teammates to Dr.Rahill an he has been more than amazing during experiences. I have watched the practice grow and I am proud to refer anyone in pain or injured to Dr.Rahill and will continue to do so!!

Dr. Rahill was doctor on call at hospital at time of my fall. I would never let him treat me again.Hip was not put in the proper place and therefore I will need another hip surgery to correct it. He wasn’t available for my pain meds, was more interested in receptionist than his patients. Sent me home without rehab and I have a four level house and I’m a widow. If I could rate him a minus, I would.??????????

Dr. Rahill was the Dr. on call at the hospital when my grandma fell and broke her hip. While he was doing her hip surgery he noticed her shoulder was unstable. She had broke it 6 months earlier and another Dr. we saw three times said it was too risky to fix. Dr. Rahill recognizes that not being able to use her right dm was more risky and degrading her quality of life. He replaced her shoulder the next day. I’m hopeful my grandma will gain back some independence!

Dr Rahill is definitely the doctor to see. He prevented a previous surgery by another doctor from becoming septic. The previous surgeon misdiagnosed an infection for 9 months. Upon seeing Dr Rahill he immediately recognized the problem and had me in surgery within a few days. Thus preventing a serious septic infection. They are the ones to see Thank you Jim Eide.

Great ortho surgeon through my sons football days, great job on my tennis elbow and just recent carpal tunnel. I see other reviews and not sure why the negative comments as he is a great surgeon, not long wait time in office, office staff returns phone calls I have been pleased.

agree with everyone else - disaster with staff/insurance. Now surgery center is not getting paid. My knee - well that didn't work and I am now going to VAIL! .... where everyone should go. Out $$$ and not happy at all with the whole situation. He needs to step up and clean up all the insurance mistakes his office has made and not make the patients responsible.

Dr. Rahill recently did knee surgery on my right knee. I was in crippling and debilitating pain for about a month prior to visiting Dr. Rahill. Not sure where all the bad reviews come from? Dr. Rahill was very deliberate and thorough. His diagnosis in his office was spot on, which I found out after getting my MRI and the surgery. This was my first surgery ever and Dr. Rahill was attentive to my questions and concerns and was very professional. Anne in the office was also great. Thank You!!

Fixed My Knee in Colorado Springs, CO – Feb 22, 2017

Dr Rahill & staff took excellent care of my 10 year old daughter after a ski injury that required some immediate care and then surgical repair. They also took continuous and excellent care of my son through 2 sports injuries and surgeries. The initial, surgical, and follow up care was all thorough, timely, and exceptional.

He's arrogant, unenthusiastic, and I won't be returning. There was no follow-up with his office staff. He was too involved with another patient and his receptionist to even remember my prescription or referral. The whole situation was asinine and awkward.

Dr. Rahill's staff of one doesn't return calls or reply to emails. She didn't forward my insurance information to DJO so I received a bill nearly 2.5 months after my appointment. Dr. Rahill sent me home with a walking boot that was too small, my toes hung over and scraped the ground. I only wore the device once and upon receiving permission from their sales rep. returned the boot. The rep. never delivered my correct size as he said he would. I have found a new Dr.

Dr. Rahill has replaced both knees and one hip for me. Never had any complications. Will probably be having second hip done in the next six months. I would not consider going to another surgeon.
