More about Dr. Jepson
Dr. Jepson is a native of Colorado Springs. Following his orthopedic surgery residency, Dr. Jepson completed an additional year of training in joint replacement surgery of the hip and knee. After his fellowship training, he returned to his hometown with his wife, Amy. He enjoys the mountains and numerous outdoor activities and is very happy to be close to family.
Philosophy of Care
“Joint replacement surgery can be a scary thing for many patients. I want my patients to know they can ask any question and receive an answer. I want them to understand all of their treatment options. I want to have a relationship with them. That’s the kind of patient care I believe in.”
