Dr. Fry took time to speak not just with me but with the other patients, as well. He was thorough in describing exactly what my injury involved. Colleen, his PA, was excellent, as well. Very glad I found this office!

I think the visit went well. I was seen right away there was no wait time at all. I think the whole visit took 15minutes. He was very friendly and helpful which was great because I was really nervous.

Verified patient
Excellent. Spent a ton of time with me. One stop "shopping"; provided all I needed in one visit, including fabricating 2 splints.
Loved Dr. Fry.....great blend of medical expertise blended with personable client care. Was really hard to find a specialist that wasn't focused on diagnosis alone. I left feeling understood & my concerns were heavily weighed into the care plan. Thank you Dr. Fry!

Very good and understandable
Verified patient
He's very knowledgable and friendly.
He was aware of health issues I am experiencing and was cautious about doing treatment and or surgery at present. He was well informed and I appreciated his will to get other issues resolved. Very personal and explained things very well. I was pleased with our visit.
Verified patient
Terrific Doctor and practice. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable and Dr Fry is very thorough, experienced, takes time to really understand what's going on. He was able to help me take care of my tennis elbow problem without surgery and did an excellent job of removing a cyst in a very delicate location on my son's wrist.
Verified patient
He was very understanding and reassuring. He was also very good at explaining the situation in layperson's words. Unfortunately, I didn't like the news he imparted but I guess that just goes to his qualities I already mentioned.
Verified patient
I have seen Dr Fry for over 20 years for all my hand, arm and shoulder problems. He has done several injections and surgeries for myself and a few for my husband. I am lucky our insurance has worked with Colorado Hand and Arm for all these years. I will miss him once my husband retires and we don't carry the same insurance anymore. He is by far my favorite surgeon!
Verified patient
Dr. Fry was excellent, with a wonderful bed side manner, very gentle and knew exactly what needed to be done first. Explained everything and the plan we would take. First time visit with Dr. Fry and would recommend him to anyone. Great office staff as well!
Verified patient
This is the second time I have been treated by Dr. Fry. The last time was over 20 years ago. Both experiences were very positive and the treatment has been successful. I was impressed that Dr. Fry remembered me, at least my name because it is unusual.
Verified patient
Very thorough in diagnosis, was not in a hurry, answered all my questions. Enjoyed meeting him and will use him again in the future when needed.
Verified patient
I hope his treatment plan works.
Verified patient
Dr Fry was quite affable and easy to work with. Also he seemed to be able to translate Doctor talk into regular person talk extremely well and his ability to sketch the bones in a hand upside down (to him) so the patient could make sense of the big names for bones was really above the pale. Great visit.
Verified patient
Dr. Fry is very personable, caring and professional. His office staff and rehab staff are incredible. Dr. Fry and his staff take the time to get to know you. Dr. Fry really looks at all possible treatment options before recommending surgery (if necessary). I would recommend him to anyone needing hand or arm treatment.
Verified patient
Doctor Tom Fry is truly a professional. He has a great personality and his medical knowledge of my condition was exceptional. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
Verified patient
Dr Fry Quickly diagnosed a problem with my hand that I have had for over 2 years and now, 24 hrs after treatment, my hand is significantly better than at any them in the last year.
Verified patient
I waited for around an hour before seeing the doctor. Once he was in it was rather quickly diagnosed and I had a brace and was out the door. The receptionists were wonderful and tracked down my referral for physical therapy that hadn't been given to me from either doc or nurse. All around great staff!
Verified patient
Very good and professional.
It was great except for the pain in my hand.
