A few of the services he provides include lumbar and cervical spine care, spine motion preservation in the neck, cervical disk replacements, disk hernia repair, pinched nerve repair and cervical and lumbar stenosis procedures. Sielatycki’s specialty is in spinal motion preservation in the neck and lower back.

“I see my role as a surgeon initially and primarily as one to educate patients about their problem and understand what it is that is causing their pain,” he said. “Every patient has different needs, expectations and different life circumstances. One patient might be more active and have more wear and tear on their body, whereas another might be more sedentary and not have as many demands on their body. My goal is to tailor my care to each specific person and what they expect out of their operation.”

​

A Utah native, Sielatycki moved to Northwest Colorado with his family: wife, Karen, and three children, Elizabeth, Anna and Caleb. He enjoys skiing, hiking, mountain biking, and spending as much time with his young family.
