FORT COLLINS, Colo. (Oct. 29, 2024) – Banner Health announces the addition of internationally recognized, board-certified orthopedic surgeon Kirk Kindsfater, M.D., to the team of orthopedic doctors, surgeons and nurses in northern Colorado.
Dr. Kindsfater, who will join the organization on Dec. 9, will lead a team at the new Joint Replacement Center of Northern Colorado in Fort Collins.
Located on Drake Road in Fort Collins, The Joint Replacement Center of Northern Colorado provides comprehensive, patient-centered care to individuals with joint pain and mobility issues. The services offered at the center include advanced hip and knee replacement and revision surgery and non-surgical joint care.
“I am excited to bring my years of experience and expertise to The Joint Replacement Center of Northern Colorado,” said Dr. Kindsfater. “I look forward to taking care of patients at our specialized center that focuses solely on joint replacement surgery.”

Dr. Kindsfater earned his medical degree from the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center in Denver and completed his fellowship training at Harvard School of Medicine and Brigham & Women’s Hospital in Boston. However, as a Colorado native, Dr. Kindsfater returned to northern Colorado where he has practiced orthopedic medicine since 1995 before joining the team at Banner Health.
