Being able to relate well with people from all walks of life is an important skill for surgeons, but for Dr. Dorf, it has been a driving force. He places a high priority on getting to know his patients as people, how they live, what's important to them, and what support systems will be available to them during rehabilitation. Dr. Dorf credits his extensive fellowship training with his ability to remain calm and be creative even in the most stressful situations.
In addition to being Team Physician for Summit High School and Team Summit, Dr. Dorf is also an active member of the US Ski & Snowboard Physician Pool and enjoys the challenges associated with the care of high-level athletes. "From my perspective, every one of my patients deserves the highest level of care. We all live here because we enjoy our hobbies, athletics, and outdoor activities. My goal is to get my patients back to the level of performance they achieved before their injury."
Dr. Dorf is board-certified with the American Board of Orthopedic Surgery. Born and raised in Eagle County, Dr. Dorf was a cyclist, skier, and hockey player before becoming an orthopaedic surgeon, and he still enjoys these activities, in addition to spending time with his wife and two children.

Dr Dorf was thorough in his explanation of the MRI. He did not rush the visit and answered all my questions
Not only did he take great care of me two other people in the community I talked to had nothing but great things to say.
Great doctor easy to talk to. Tells it like it is- I had some hand issues from arthritis and he basically told me what he could do and what wasn’t going to work. I liked that
The best!
Very nice expérience. He is a very good listener. Explained things very well. Great expérience!
Dr. Dorf fit me in quickly for a wrist repair. Superb surgeon and super personable!
He cares about me and listens to what I say.
Very professional, detailed with exams and chart review. Staff in office were very nice. Best experience at a Dr's office I have had in years!
Doctor Dorf did a great job with a good sense of humor. I enjoyed seeing him again.
Simply the best. Caring and professional and makes you feel like you’re the most important client he’s ever had.
