Dr. Max Seiter, M.D. , developed his interest in sports medicine at an early age. When he was in high school, he and his father were involved in a serious car accident that left his father with severe injuries, including a fractured spine. Witnessing his father’s road to recovery had a tremendous impression on him as a young man, and it was then that he decided to go to medical school.
He attended medical school at the University of Texas, where his interests in Orthopaedics were reaffirmed by the tangible nature of the field and the ability to return patients to the activities they love most. After medical school, he attended his residency at the University of Miami, where he worked with collegiate and professional sports teams, including the Miami Hurricanes and the Miami Marlins.
After residency, Dr. Seiter went on to complete his fellowship at the Steadman-Philippon Research Institute. At Steadman, he expanded on his orthopaedic training with a sub-specialty focus on sports medicine and complex procedures for the athlete. His fellowship gave him immersive experience with hip pathology and arthroscopy and complex knee and shoulder procedures, including reconstruction as well as joint preservation.
Dr. Seiter continued working with top athletes throughout his fellowship, performing various knee ligament reconstructions, shoulder instability procedures, and hip scopes. Some of the athletes he treated during his fellowship include NFL players, which has been a motivating experience for Dr. Seiter.
“Watching patients we treated progress through the draft and making it into the NFL was very impactful for me,” he said.
It wasn’t just his passion for returning athletes to the field that drove his love of sports medicine and Orthopaedics; Dr. Seiter is quite the athlete himself. Since early childhood, he has excelled at a number of sports and physical activities, including football, track, basketball, and swimming. In college, he competed on the ultimate frisbee team.
Dr. Seiter is no stranger to the personal experiences of sports-related injuries, either, having suffered a myriad of broken bones throughout his youth. He also sustained a serious shoulder dislocation during his ultimate frisbee career, which left him with recurrent pain and instability until he was treated by a shoulder specialist. After treatment, he returned to high-level athletics without any recurrent dislocations: another factor that reaffirmed his decision for sports medicine.
Dr. Seiter first learned to ski at Breckenridge Ski Resort during a family trip to the area as a teenager. It was then that he not only fell in love with skiing but with our local communities as well. His dream was always to perform sports medicine in an active community with outdoor enthusiasts, so it’s no surprise that his path led him back to the Colorado High Country.
Dr. Seiter serves the High Country community outside of the VSON clinic as well. He provides medical care for the Summit High School teams, Team Summit Colorado, and Team Breck, as well as being regularly involved in the US Ski and Snowboard physician pool and assisting with their needs. He has traveled internationally with the US ski team to Austria and China and covered the Burton US Open in 2020.

Both Dr. Cider and Camille were exceptional. They were both professional, had great communication skill and, obviously, have outstanding knowledge in order to diagnose my issue accurately. I would highly recommend them as well asVail-Summit Orthopaedics and Neurosurgery.
Excellent, all the nurses and front desk personnel were very helpful and kind.
Smart doc. Good at discussing the issues at hand. Bit quick in his assessment. Behind schedule. Rather wait for MRI than try hands on assessment strategies.
I’m so glad I came in to see Dr Seiter!!
Very pleasant, not in a hurry, thorough and knowledgeable.
Dr Seiter is extremely knowledgeable! I so appreciate his sincere understanding of the pain I am experiencing. I am grateful to have him as my doctor!
Professional, personable, knowledgeable, warm and explained information and condition in layman’s terms. Thank you, Dr Seiiter
Great bedside manner It’s unbelievable. He called me on a Sunday before I even saw him to explain my condition and probably what the surgery would do. As far as follow up, he’s been right on target my postop care and PT. We’re all scheduled and the therapist were amazed at the instructions and the detail that he provided. I would highly recommend him to anyone need for orthopedic evaluation and potentially surgery.
Diagnosed the problem immediately and I walked out pain free. From the front desk to payment and out the door, everything was perfect. Hook em Doc!
The appointment process Did Not go well. It started long after the scheduled time, we were not told anything about the delay, and the checkout staffer (who sits behind the open window) was her usual unfriendly self. Once the actual appointment began, the MRI staffer was professional and did provide sufficient communication & instructions.
