Repletos de peque\u00f1os nervios, vasos sangu\u00edneos y anatom\u00eda complicada, los cirujanos de las extremidades superiores deben sentirse c\u00f3modos trabajando con tejidos delicados que la mayor\u00eda de los ortopedistas preferir\u00edan evitar. Pero el Dr. Dorf nunca ha rehuido los desaf\u00edos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despu\u00e9s de completar su Residencia en Cirug\u00eda Ortop\u00e9dica en la Universidad de Virginia, el Dr. Dorf complet\u00f3 su beca de Mano y Extremidad Superior con el reconocido presidente de la Sociedad Estadounidense de Cirug\u00eda de Mano, el Dr. Andrew Koman en la Universidad de Wake Forest, Centro M\u00e9dico Bautista. Durante este \u00fanico a\u00f1o de capacitaci\u00f3n adicional, el Dr. Dorf realiz\u00f3 m\u00e1s de 1000 procedimientos quir\u00fargicos de extremidades superiores. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Poder relacionarse bien con personas de todos los \u00e1mbitos de la vida es una habilidad importante para los cirujanos, pero para el Dr. Dorf, ha sido una fuerza impulsora. \u00c9l da gran prioridad a conocer a sus pacientes como personas, c\u00f3mo viven, qu\u00e9 es importante para ellos y qu\u00e9 sistemas de apoyo tendr\u00e1n disponibles durante la rehabilitaci\u00f3n. El Dr. Dorf atribuye a su extensa formaci\u00f3n de posgrado su capacidad para mantener la calma y ser creativo incluso en las situaciones m\u00e1s estresantes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adem\u00e1s de ser m\u00e9dico del equipo de Summit High School y Team Summit, el Dr. Dorf tambi\u00e9n es miembro activo del US Ski &amp; Snowboard Physician Pool, y disfruta de los desaf\u00edos asociados con el cuidado de atletas de alto nivel. \u201cDesde mi perspectiva, cada uno de mis pacientes merece el m\u00e1s alto nivel de atenci\u00f3n. Todos vivimos aqu\u00ed porque disfrutamos de nuestros pasatiempos, el atletismo y las actividades al aire libre. Mi objetivo es que mis pacientes vuelvan al nivel de rendimiento que ten\u00edan antes de su lesi\u00f3n\u201d.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">El Dr. Dorf est\u00e1 certificado por la Junta Americana de Cirug\u00eda Ortop\u00e9dica. Nacido y criado en el condado de Eagle, el Dr. Dorf cuenta con cinco a\u00f1os de experiencia profesional en Vail Summit Orthopaedics desde que complet\u00f3 su residencia en 2008. \u00a0El Dr. Dorf era ciclista, esquiador y jugador de hockey antes de convertirse en cirujano ortop\u00e9dico y a\u00fan disfruta de estas actividades, adem\u00e1s de pasar tiempo con su esposa y sus dos hijos.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":3602,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":true},"tags":[],"staff-specialties":[36],"class_list":["post-3601","staff","type-staff","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","staff-specialties-orthopaedics"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Erik Dorf | Vail Health<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vailhealth.org\/es\/acerca-de\/directorio-de-doctores\/erik-dorf\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"es_MX\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Erik Dorf | Vail Health\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Shoulders, elbows, wrists and hands represent some of the body\u2019s most difficult surgical environments.
