Getting to Know Dr. Hagedorn

Reviews for Dr. Hagedorn

“I'm getting old... ended up with a retinal detachment... not once.. but twice. I feel that Colorado retina associates have the best docs around! Everyone from beginning to end is so kind. Reception, imagery, intake and of course my doc- Dr. Hagedorn. He's only here at this location maybe once a month. I try and get my appointments here as often as I can! If you need to "see" one of these Docs- this location is on point!!”

— Mireille

“I highly recommend Colorado Retina. I visited with concerns about floaters and flashers and they were able to get me in for a last minute appointment.  The front office is well run and efficient. The office is clean and well laid out. The entire staff was friendly and very knowledgeable, especially Dr. Hagedorn. They were patient, thorough and answered all of my questions.”

— Kate

“Staff & MAs were helpful and courteous. My visit was pretty quick and routine, but Dr. Hagedorn is always thorough, and he takes the time to explain where necessary. I’ve never had a bad experience at CRA, thanks team.”
