CU Sports Medicine and Performance Center

Dr. Bravman did an amazing job on my knee rebuild about 1.25 years ago! I had no idea after the accident if I would be able to do much if anything with that leg and can already run/sprint and have almost no limitations! The healing process went incredibly well and everyone did such a great job. My physical therapist was super kind, understanding, motivational and went out of his way to support me and help me not only recover but be inspired to continue to get and stay healthy and active and also have a positive mindset! He was a life coach, physical therapist, counselor, masseuse etc… They have all the equipment and space you could need too and even the people at the front desk were great. If I had to do this again 100% I would go with them.

Dr Ballantine is a great doctor and has excellent bedside manner. However, my experience with trying to get an MRI approved has been a complete nightmare. It's been over 2 weeks now and the MRI has still not gotten approved. I can't get a solid plan of care until this MRI is done. I have contacted their office every day this week about the MRI. The last I heard was that they were going to do a peer to peer review with my insurance. They haven't given me any updates on that peer to peer review. I also have 2 other doctors handling my treatment (a sports medicine doctor and a physical therapist). Dr Ballantine should be sharing my visit notes with both of those doctors to coordinate my care. However, none of that coordination is being done right now. She hasn't shared any of my notes from my first visit.

I'm seeing Max in the physical therapy area and am floored by how knowledgeable he is. It's obvious he has adopted a lifelong learning approach to his career, and he is also an excellent teacher. If you want to quickly resolve your injury and also understand the underlying issues and rationale for your treatment program then he is your guy. I have found that understanding to be very helpful for staying motivated and positive about the rehab process. I now bring a varied list of strength, flexibility, and injury prevention questions to my sessions. I come away from every session with a plethora of highly practical gems, making significant performance, time-saving and motivational improvements to my strength and fitness routine. Max is the Andy Galpin of the Rockies. p.s. I've had nothing but positive experiences with the rest of the CU sports team too. If you have the chance to go to CU sport medicine for care you should take it :).

I just moved to Boulder in September. I injured my knee during move in and a friend referred me to UC Sports medicine. I want to be clear, the doctors, therapists, technicians were all great. The bureaucracy in the billing / administrative departments is where all my dissatisfaction lies. Siloed and the right hand doesn’t know what the left hand is doing. I’ve been begging them to set up a call so we can clear up the issues. My efforts fell on deaf ears and the nonsense continues to this day. Less than 3 months in Colorado and they have succeeded in driving me away. I’m no longer a patient of the CU network. First impressions mean something to me…… we the patients do have choices. I’m choosing to move to a new healthcare network and try to forget this horrible experience. Congrats for a job badly done!

I love the care and the staff at CU SPORTS MEDICINE! I have 3 doctors/surgeons. They are trying to put Humpty Dumpty (me) back together again. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about everyone that I have come in contact with. Everyone from the surgeons, PA's, MA's, clerical staff, and even the people who clean -- They have all been amazing! The facility is immaculate! The ONLY complaint I have (and reason for not giving 5 full stars) is the voice on the recording of the automated phone system. It is he most nasally, irritating voice absolutely makes my skin crawl every time I have to call. I find it so irritating that I try not to call. The person also mispronounces the word "MESSAGE " no less than 5 times before you can talk to someone or leave a message She puts an "N" in there and so she needs to know that the world is MESSAGE, not MESSINJ It makes me cringe, every single time! PLEASE CHANGE IT! 🙏 🙏 🙏 Then, you will get 5 Stars!

The Best inside the Boulder Bolder Bubble-verse. Dr. McCartey, Dr. Bravman, Dr. Meron, Dr. Kingston, dr. Park and PA Keri are very good at what they do. As is, Nurse or NA Alice, and Sarah at reception. However, Google Bobble Heads, would you relocate to Colorado Springs? Guess not. Oh well, would you share the roads with cyclists? Hope so. And, with Jaywalkers? Thank you so much. Please support The Access Fund Hart CPT

My kids and I had a great experience there in the past. However in the last 2-3 months it’s been a huge disappointment. My dr said I needed an MRI in March and would submit to insurance. A month later I found out they never did it. Once insurance finally got it they denied saying I needed PT. Been trying for over a week just to schedule the first appointment with zero call backs. I’m now 2 months behind in recovery so I’ll take my business elsewhere.

My original review got too wordy especially in response to their response. So I'm going to make this shorter, but it's still long. I went to the center in Boulder for concussion treatment. My doctor was really nice, caring, professional ( Dr. Ballantine). She recommended I see the physical therapists there for some help. I think mainly for the tightness she found in my neck and shoulders. Anyhow, my first visit with the PT seemed good, professional. He sent me home with concussion exercises and said next time we would work on my neck.. I couldn't get in with the same PT so I had to go to a different one... He was really into relaxing via music and breathing. So no neck work. Long story short at 3rd appointment I had passive range of motion done to my neck, and a very light touching of the superficial tissue on my neck. Not engaging tissues. Not affecting my neck at all. ( aka moving skin a little)Did exercises etc.......The 4th appointment I thought for sure I would get neck work, but instead the PT talked for the session, no manual therapy, explaining his theories on relaxation(again), discussing...etc. a few minutes in the relaxation position, the music was broken, and we ran out of time, so no neck work. At this point I saw my billing and I was up to $500 for 4 PT appointments that were not manually working on my neck and shoulders. I understand the concussion exercises for balance and eye tracking, and posture exercises, but I also was expecting a neck massage of some type, maybe dry needling? Then on top of this I found out how much I was responsible for, for the doctor appointments. For 1 45 min and 2- 20 min appointments my insurance was charged $1383!!!! My responsibility was $865! I DO realize what I end up paying has a lot to do with my insurance and the contracted rates. However something is very wrong with the whole system when the medical place thinks it's ok to charge my insurance so much in the first place. The system is really corrupt and screwed up. Overall I had to cancel the rest of my appointments because I couldn't afford to keep going, and I was frustrated with the PT appointments.
