D. Alex Forrester, MD
Dr. Forrester was born and raised in Amarillo, Texas. After 20 years living in the flatlands of the panhandle his family’s love of the mountains and proximity to family drove them to settle in Colorado Springs. In his free time he enjoys spending time with his wife and two children, hiking, fly-fishing, snowboarding, painting, and drumming.
Area of Interest
Dr. David “Alex” Forrester completed his fellowship in Adult Reconstruction with specialization in surgical treatment of arthritic conditions of knees and hips. He received advanced training in anterior muscle-sparing hip replacement surgery and surgically restoring the pre-arthritic state of the knee through both standard and muscle-sparing approaches. He also specializes in simple and complex revision joint replacement surgery.
Philosophy Of Care
I believe in working with each patient to develop a mutual sense of trust, respect, and open communication. My goal is to create a tailored treatment plan for each individual based on their health, lifestyle, pathology, goals and expectations. I want every patient to feel heard, and to educate each patient properly on their treatment options (both surgical and non-surgical) to come to a mutual decision on the best path forward.
