Meet Dr Dann

I was born in Louisville, Kentucky, and attended the University of Louisville School of Medicine, which is why I bleed red. My surgical training began in Boston, MA, where I interned at Boston University and was selected for the Boston City Hospital orthopedic junior trauma fellowship. I completed my formal orthopedic residency in New York City at the Beth Israel/Kingsbrook Jewish combined program.

Fellowship is where very specialized training occurs. My fellowship was at the Mississippi Sports Medicine and Orthopedic Center, where I trained with Drs. Larry Field, Gene Barrett, Walter Shelton, and FH ‘Buddy’ Savoie, all world leaders in arthroscopic shoulder, elbow, and knee surgery. Dr. Savoie, certainly one of the most gifted arthroscopists in the arena, strived to teach the art as well as the craft of shoulder surgery.

From the deep South to the Northwest, my family and I moved to Yakima, WA, where we spent two years. For the past 21 years, I have practiced in Ogden, UT. In August 2023, we moved to the Denver area to join the extremely talented and thriving Dr. John Xenos.

Current Research & Practice

Over the years, I’ve published widely and lectured at national meetings. My most rewarding experience has been with the Arthroscopy Association of North America (AANA), where I’ve taught many courses on orthopedic injuries. As an AANA Master Shoulder Instructor, I teach advanced arthroscopic shoulder surgery techniques in Chicago. In 2017, I received the Stephen Snyder Excellence in Teaching Award.

My research focuses on post-operative pain reduction, exploring the use of electronic devices to alleviate pain in surgery patients.

My practice, mainly sports medicine, emphasizes arthroscopic treatment of shoulder, elbow, and knee injuries. I regularly perform Total and Reverse Total Shoulder Replacements. I’m thrilled to offer top-tier care with Dr. Xenos at our new Colorado Orthopaedics office.

Client Testimonials

“Dr. Byck, assistants, and his staff are absolutely wonderful. The surgery was virtually painless and recovery … was been pretty much pain free. So many people I’ve talked to that have had arthroscopy on their shoulders from various clinics, have asked how I’ve managed the pain and are amazed at the range of motion I have already. I would recommend Dr. Byck to anyone (and already have). Thanks Dr. Byck.”

“I destroyed my shoulder in a dirt biking crash. Dr. Byck said that he only sees a handful of cases each year that were as bad as mine. I didn't believe that I would ever have full functionality of my shoulder again. Now, over a year later, I have made an incredible recovery. I truly believe that my recovery is due to his masterful surgery skills. He is also very caring and has a great bedside manner. I have recommended him to several people since.”

“Dr. Byck has done 2 surgeries for me; one was my ACL 10 years ago, and recently he has repaired my shoulder. Both operations went great. He is very easy to work with and I fully trust everything he tells me. He is very good at what he does, my ACL has been awesome, I anticipate my shoulder will be awesome soon.”
