Dr. Peace feels it is a privilege to share his clinical knowledge and educate patients on their condition. He believes in shared decision making to develop the right treatment plan for each patient’s individualized needs. Dr. Peace performs both inpatient and outpatient joint replacement surgery. For the right candidates, outpatient joint replacement surgery allows patients to return home the same day they receive surgery. Additionally, Dr. Peace specializes in the anterior approach for hip replacement and minimally invasive total knee replacement, both of which are less invasive and can result in shorter recovery times.

In 2010 Dr. Peace joined the Colorado Air National Guard, where he serves as an Orthopaedic Surgeon and a Flight Surgeon. His years of service have allowed him to provide patient care in unconventional situations and prepared him to serve the state and country in times of crisis.
