Dear Valued Patients,

I hope this letter finds you in good health and spirits. I am writing to share some news that is both exciting and bittersweet. After careful consideration, I have made the decision to transition from Vail-Summit Orthopaedics & Neurosurgery (VSON) to a new chapter in my career at The Steadman Clinic.

First and foremost, I want to express my deepest gratitude for the trust and confidence you have placed in me over the years. It has been an absolute privilege to serve as your orthopaedic surgeon at VSON. Your resilience, dedication to your health, and the relationships we have formed have truly been the driving force behind my commitment to excellence in patient care.

Although I will be changing practices, one thing will not change, and that is my commitment to providing every patient the best, personalized patient care experience. My new colleagues at The Steadman Clinic share this commitment, and I’m enthusiastic about joining a new team of talented physicians who pride themselves on providing excellent patient care and outcomes.

I am thrilled to share that this transition to The Steadman Clinic will open doors to exciting professional and academic opportunities. One of these opportunities is the chance to contribute to the establishment of a Total Joints Fellowship, an initiative that will enhance education and innovation in the field of orthopaedics.

My official start date at The Steadman Clinic is October 16, 2023, and I am looking forward to the collaborations and breakthroughs that await.

My time at VSON has been nothing short of incredible. I have enjoyed being a part of a practice of excellence, with outstanding surgeons and staff who tirelessly work to better the lives of our patients and communities. The memories and experiences shared with you all will forever hold a special place in my heart.

Please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have during this transition. My contact information is below.

Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your lives, and I look forward to continuing your patient journey as your physician at The Steadman Clinic.

Warmest regards,

Nathan Cafferky, MD
