As a new patient, I was scheduled within a reasonable length of time. Bit of a wait to be seen. Dr. Keply was informative, kind and took care of my issue quickly and efficiently.

After many surgeries and complications with a previous Dr. and facility, Dr. Kepley did everything in his power to save my leg. He cleared up all the previous problems and today I have both my legs with no pain in my knee !!! I will be forever greatful for his treatment. He is a wonderful man and I highly recommend him .

I found Dr. Kepley to have a very warm bedside manner. He eased my fears and has a staff to back him up with any questions I might have had. He listened to my concerns. I have scheduled a surgery I have been putting off for 20 years!

Dr. Kepley took time with me to find out my problems. Everything was explained to me about the surgery, he was very thorough. It was my decision as to when my surgery was to be performed. Recovery was easy as I followed directions for rehab and was up and about without a cane or walker on my first return visit in three weeks. I would recommend him to all. He is the best.

I wouldn't go to any other doctor concerning my knees. My Dad had both artificial knees done my Dr. Kepley, never once had a problem. I think he is the best there is.
