Happy Holidays from Dr. Joseph and his team!

Wishing you a season filled with warmth, good company, and plenty of time to enjoy the mountains. This is a special time of year in the mountains and I hope you are able to slow down, recharge, and take in everything that makes this place home.

Meet Dr. Terrell Joseph. His journey in orthopaedics began right here in Vail, where he worked as a 22 year old ER tech and discovered a passion for mountain medicine. That spark took him to Charity Hospital in New Orleans for high volume trauma training, then all the way to New Zealand to learn advanced arthroscopic knee techniques while caring for international rugby athletes. He later completed a second fellowship in upper extremity and hand surgery in Albuquerque.

He returned to Colorado nearly twenty years ago and has been caring for our community ever since, treating ski and snowboard injuries, knee issues, tendon and ligament problems, carpal tunnel, and hand and wrist conditions.
