I recommend Dr. Petersilge without reservation! His bed side manner is outstanding coupled with 38 years of experience puts you at ease. He is transparent with what you should expect. I liked what he did and how he did it so much I went back and had him do the other knee! If you must, he is the Doctor to choose!

I have had a hip replacement and a knee replacement with Dr. Petersilge within that past 12 months. His use of the Force App made before and after surgery communication with him and his staff easy. Recovery from both surgeries was easy and well monitored. He is attentive to patient concerns, described procedures in a way that was easy to understand, presented details realistically and encouraged progress every step of the way. Highly recommended for either surgery. I am extremely pleased.

I am a current patient and needed to get a shot in my knee. Trying to understand why it takes 1 1/2 weeks to get a 30 second appointment with the physician’s assistant? Left a message for the office staff to call me and never received a call back. In addition to leaving a message I talked with the scheduling department. At the end of my conversation, they told me they were going to call me back the next morning around 8:30AM. This never happened. It should not be this hard to communicate with a doctor’s office.

Dr. Petersilge did my left knee 6 years ago, so when it was time to have my right knee replaced I did not want anyone else to do my surgery. I have recommended him to several friends who will be facing knee surgery in the future.

Just completed rehab for my second knee replacement by Dr. Petersilge and his team. I can't imagine any better care anywhere. I was entirely happy with the entire experience.

It is rare to not complain about one thing, but I didn't need to with Dr. Petersilge. Everything was 5 star.

Dr. Petersilge is amazing. I had a total hip replacement and was walking without a cane in less than 2 weeks. It has been three weeks and I am walking 10 or more laps daily (pain free) at my Rec. center. I would recommend this doctor to anyone. Thank You Dr. Petersilge!

I am so grateful for being referred to Dr. Petersildge. I can walk and no longer feel as if I have to miss out on any activity. I can sleep without pain. I am truly blessedl.
