Internists

• Internal Medicine
• Kidney Cancer
• Kidney Stones
  Our physicians recommend obtaining calcium as much as possible from dietary sources and use calcium supplements as needed. An adult patient over age 40-50 that does not have gastrointestinal disorders or surgeries, needs ~ 1200 mg calcium (divided in 2-3 meals/day). More calcium will not reduce risk for fractures or make bones stronger but will increase the risk for kidney stones.
• Prostate Cancer
• Lung Cancer

Neurologists

• Neurology
  Sarah came to Panorama Orthopedics & Spine Center with prior experience in neurology and movement disorders. This background has given her a better understanding of neuroscience and how it translates into what a person is feeling, experiencing and their overall mobility
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
  Carpal tunnel syndrome is one of the most common conditions we treat. This condition occurs when tissues swell in the wrist, putting pressure on an important nerve that controls feeling in parts of the hand. The carpal tunnel is the narrow structure in the wrist through which this nerve and important tendons pass into the hand and fingers.
• Multiple Sclerosis
  Andy Kuritz was on a 16 mile trail run when he first noticed his hip was getting tight and painful. You see, Andy was training for the Boston marathon, a race he was running for charity in honor of his Father who had passed from Multiple Sclerosis the year before. A few hours later his hip started to become even more painful. By the evening it was worse. The next day, the pain was excruciating.

Psychiatrists

• Stress Management
  At Panorama Orthopedics & Spine Center our entire team takes a holistic approach to pain management.

We want to make sure each patient understands the components that lead to long-term success so that they can build a healthy momentum.

• MRI
  We want to continue to provide exceptional orthopedic care to our communities and if you have an orthopedic condition or concern we are here for you. Many patients enjoy the convenience and efficiency of a Telehealth visit – eliminate the drive, lose the time in the waiting room and enjoy real time access to your doctor from the comfort of your own couch.  We are even able to access imaging studies – x-rays and MRI’s that you may have completed previously.
• Radiology
  At Panorama, our goal is to help people feel better.  To do that, we try conservative treatments first, whenever possible, prior to pursuing surgery.   We understand patients may need a variety of options to help them heal. That’s why we have a team of experts — orthopedic surgeons, physiatrists, radiology technicians and specialty-trained physical therapists — to collaborate and provide a more comprehensive and thoughtful care plan for each patient.
• X-Rays
• Computed Tomography
  – A CT is often referred to as a CAT scan, (Computed Tomography) is a computerized x-ray imaging procedure used to generate images of tissues and structures inside the body, typically with more detail than your typical x-ray.

• Orthopedics
  When it comes to foot and ankle problems, there is no better place to receive care than Panorama Orthopedics & Spine Center. We have the largest orthopedic foot and ankle team in Colorado and within the Rocky Mountain region, with five board-certified and fellowship-trained orthopedic specialists.
• Sciatica
• Scoliosis Surgery
• Whiplash
• Arthroscopy
  Most studies show good to excellent outcomes after hip arthroscopy, with most patients returning to sports at their pre-injury level between 6-7 months after surgery. Additionally, patients tend to have increased range of motion and less discomfort with hip flexion, cutting, and pivoting motions. Surgery generally eliminates the groin pain and gets rid of the clicking, popping and catching in the hip.
• Pinched Nerve
• Minimally Invasive Surgery
  “That minimally invasive surgery is amazing. It’s pretty incredible how small my scars are and how quickly they healed,” he said. “Even though the surgery was no fun, I’m very glad I did it.“Before it was a major burden on my wife that I couldn’t do things. Now, I’m part of the family again: I can take out the trash, I can take my dogs for a walk, I’m even running a little and biking again. I’m not constantly angry or frustrated, and I have a better outlook on life.”
• Ankle Surgery
  For college student Amanda Miller, being able to walk without pain and without her ankle constantly slipping out of place is a miracle. “I was getting so frustrated that all of the therapists and doctors I went to couldn’t help one little bit,” Amanda said. “Dr. Murken at Panorama was the first doctor to ever tell me, ‘I can fix this problem.’”
• Joint Replacement
  It’s easy to take knees and hips for granted, but stiffness and pain can sideline you from your favorite activities or everyday tasks. The good news is:  Whether you’re looking to climb a fourteener or play with your grandkids, we can help!  Our team of joint replacement specialists work diligently to help patients regain or maintain their independence and improve their quality of life.  We consider every patient’s individual needs, from diagnosis to treatment and rehabilitation, to help them move toward an active, pain-free lifestyle.
• Hand Surgery
  With her broad surgical experience, Karolyn also brings to Panorama an enthusiasm for the hand surgery subspecialty. “Hand and wrist function are vital to patients’ activities of daily life and their careers,” Karolyn says. “I’m lucky to assist Dr. Lodha in improving patients’ quality of life.”
• Orthopedic Surgery
  Dr. Jeremy Kinder and Dr Ron Hugate are a team specially trained in limb preservation. Dr. Kinder trained at Rush Medical Center in Chicago, IL and is specialized in reconstructive orthopedic surgery.  This special training allows him to tackle the toughest cases.
• Bunions
• Arthroscopy
  Over time, if FAI is untreated, it exposes the cartilage in the hip joint to excessive wear and tear, which starts the process of arthritis as you age. Untreated hip pain caused by impingement or a labral tear can lead to arthritis, so it is important to address the underlying cause of hip pain. While it is important to note hip arthroscopy is not used to treat arthritis, it can be an important tool in preventing it.
• Hip Replacement
  Preserve a patient’s natural hip joint, rather than undergoing a hip replacement. These procedures generally are aimed at either re-shaping the hip joint or repairing/replacing damaged tissues.
• Knee Replacement
  Specialized training and instrumentation enable Dr. Foran to perform traditional knee replacement surgery in a minimally invasive manner.  By using smaller incisions he is able to complete the surgery without cutting tendons or ligaments, and with less disruption to the soft tissues. This, too, allows patients to typically recover quicker.
• Reconstructive Surgery
  She began her path to Panorama with a degree in health information management from College of Saint Mary in Omaha, Nebraska. A desire for direct patient care led her to obtain a master of medical science degree in physician assistant studies from Methodist University in North Carolina. Karolyn brings PA experience in general surgery, trauma, and plastic and reconstructive surgery.

Plastic Surgeons

• Botox
  For Ron’s treatment, Dr. Horner utilized a highly specialized process called electromyography (EMG) to identify the proper muscle in Ron’s neck where his headaches and migraines were being generated. Dr. Horner then administered a series of Botox injections to relieve Ron’s pain and address his symptoms. “It was quick and easy, and I got good results,” Ron said. “I was living on pain pills to get through the day before, but I haven’t needed a single pill since my treatment. It’s amazing.”
• Bariatric Surgery
  Hannah completed her undergraduate degree from the University of Vermont in Nutrition and Food Sciences with a minor in Chemistry. She went on to get her Master’s Degree in Physician Assistant Studies from Northeastern University in Boston, MA. Hannah has a passion in clinical nutrition and prior to PA school, she worked as a Registered Dietician at the University of Colorado Hospital with the solid organ transplant team and the bariatric surgery team.

• Frozen Shoulder
  Frozen Shoulder or adhesive capsulitis is a condition that usually affects middle age individuals, more often women than men. Sometimes the shoulder can get “stuck,” leading to decreased movement in the joint capsule.  Over time the shoulder joint becomes inflamed and difficult to move.   Sometimes, an injury to the shoulder can preceed the “freezing” of the joint capsule, but oftentimes individuals with this problem do not know when or how it even started. Typically they have pain when moving the shoulder and difficulty getting dressed or performing the daily activities of life. People with this condition are often helped with physical therapy. If that is unsuccessful, a manipulation of the joint while under anesthesia can often free the joint and being the path to healing.
• Tennis Elbow
  Tennis elbow is common. For people suffering with this condition, it can affect your daily life — causing pain or a burning sensation on the outside of the elbow. This is due to an inflammation of the tendons in the joint. Tennis elbow can also can lead to weak grip strength and it typically gets worse when you use your forearm, such as when you swing a tennis racquet or use a wrench.

The biggest thing was the pain.”
