Dr. Erik Dorf, M.D. completed his orthopaedic surgery residency at the University of Virginia, Dr. Dorf completed his hand and upper extremity fellowship with the renowned president of the American Society for Surgery of the Hand, Dr. Andrew Koman, at Wake Forest University, Baptist Medical Center. During this single year of additional training, Dr. Dorf performed over 1,000 upper extremity surgical procedures.
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.

Very good at communicating issues and options in a relaxed way. Professional in administering procedure and his supporting staff is excellent.
Took time to listen, assess, and point us to a solution matching our needs. The whole team was warm and helpful.
Great doc
Very helpful and thorough
Very capable and professional
We had a wonderful experience with Dr. Erik Dorf and staff from start to end at Vail-Summit Orthopaedic & Neurosurgery. He is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and took the time to explain everything clearly, which made us feel very comfortable and confident in the care our son received. What really stood out was how great he was with kids — patient, kind, and reassuring. He made the appointment easy and stress-free for both our son and us as parents. We are very grateful for his care and would highly recommend Dr. Dorf to any family looking for an excellent doctor.
Excellent communication while discussing and examining my shoulder.
As usual, top shelf, high-end, no nonsense. !
Cortisone injections to my lower thumb joints. He doesn’t use a sonogram but knew where to place the needle to numb and inject the cortisone. I didn’t have to worry about a possible painful experience. It wasn’t bad at all. Dr Dorf went over and explained my X-rays. 2 days later my thumbs feel Great. Would highly recommend. Judy
Excellent care, kind and caring doctor
