Meet Roger Murken, M.D.

Roger E. Murken, MD is a board-certified Denver orthopedic surgeon. After his training to be an orthopedic surgeon he went on to complete additional sub-speciality training in foot and ankle surgery. Dr. Murken specializes in adult and pediatric general orthopedics, sports medicine, traumatic fractures, and is highly specialized in disorders of the foot and ankle.

Dr. Murken believes, “A patient’s needs should be met through a detailed evaluation and treatment plan that is designed to help him or her achieve and maintain an active lifestyle while minimizing pain. Although surgery is sometimes necessary, many orthopedic injuries can be treated without surgery. I will use my knowledge and training to provide leading-edge medical care with traditional treatment methods.”

Dr. Murken enjoys spending time with his wife and three children, snowboarding, downhill skiing, flyfishing, mountain biking and distance running
