Over more than a decade of practice, Dr. Iorio has dedicated his career to treating severe injuries and challenging conditions, helping patients preserve function, manage pain, and regain independence even when other options seemed limited.
A native of Texas who grew up in Phoenix, Arizona, Dr. Iorio completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Chicago, earned his Medical Degree from Georgetown University School of Medicine, and completed fellowship training at the University of Washington’s Harborview Medical Center. He later served on the faculty of Harvard Medical School before joining the University of Colorado School of Medicine, where he helped establish nationally recognized programs in extremity reconstruction, wound care, and orthoplastic surgery.
Throughout his career, Dr. Iorio has become known for taking on complex cases often referred after patients were told amputation was their only option.

He has directed microsurgical training programs, mentored medical students and residents, and lectured nationally and internationally, helping shape the next generation of surgeons. Many of his former trainees have gone on to leadership roles in the field, a source of great pride for him.
When he is not in the operating room or teaching, Dr. Iorio enjoys exploring the outdoors through hiking, camping, and off-roading, fully embracing the lifestyle that Durango offers.
