I take pride in listening and helping patients make shared decisions. I want to ensure that no one leaves my office feeling like they were not heard or not understood. It is my goal to teach you about your injury so that you understand all of your options and can choose the best one for you and your life. I consider it a privilege to help patients live the highest quality of life so they can continue to enjoy both work and play.
Before medical school, Dr. Jeffers spent time in Vail, CO helping patients rehabilitate and recover from orthopaedic injuries. This gives him an interesting perspective on patient care as he has helped guide patients through every phase of an injury: from diagnosing them on the field, to performing their surgery, to helping them rehab and recover. He completed medical school in Tampa at the University of South Florida. He then did his orthopaedic surgery residency in New Orleans at Louisiana State University. After completing residency, he moved here to Denver to complete a fellowship in Sports Medicine Surgery at the Steadman Hawkins Clinic where he helped take care of the Denver Broncos, Colorado Rockies and Cherry Creek High School.

“Dr. Jeffers is extremely gentle and very conscientious and has a great bedside manner. He explains things in great detail and always leaves. You feeling reassured that everything’s good and you’re on the right track for having a successful outcome.”

“From the friendly and authentic greeting and check-in when I walked in, to the personal greeting and check in and follow-up from Monique, Dr. Jeffers assistant (and from my experience, doctors can’t function without their assistants, so they’ve got to be good—because like dental assistants, they are the one you see the most), to the caring and compassionate evaluation by Dr. Jeffers, I felt seen and heard during my entire appointment. Looks like I have a rotator cuff tear . They got me in on Friday for an MRI and we’ll figure out the next steps on Monday. I really appreciate that no-one is wasting my time—my pain and injury are being taken seriously and I feel like they want to help me as soon as possible.”

“Got to meet Dr. Kirk Jeffers, he was very professional and personable. He spent time showing me the MRI and discussing my options. I did not feel he was pushing towards any of the options, but left it open to have further discussion.”
