A Nationally Sought-After Knee Surgeon, Right Here in Southern Colorado

Living in a remote, beautiful part of Colorado has many rewards. Easy access to a high-volume joint replacement specialist usually isn't one of them. Destination Surgery changes that.

Dr. Amanda Marshall-Rodriguez, a board-certified, fellowship-trained joint reconstruction specialist from San Antonio, Texas, performs minimally invasive knee replacements at Rio Grande Hospital in Del Norte. Patients from across the nation seek out her tissue-sparing technique. For people who live in this region, she is close by.
