Dr. Joseph Michael Erpelding, MD

Dr.Erpelding has been my orthopedic doctor for years and this man is my ROCK STAR!! He's honest, forthright, and isn't knife happy. He tells you your opions and starts with the less invasive. He tells you how good or bad it is and tells you his opinion an let's you make the decision on how to treat.

excellent doctor good patient skills and very good surgery skills

A very competent, attentive, respectful doctor, who does not have a god complex. I have complete faith and trust in his care.

Great Doctor, spent time with me explaining everything. I wouldn't go anywhere else!

all this man was focused on that i went from 215 in weight to 255 he called me morbid obese, he never even took time to know that i have had to be on my feet all my life! because i worked hard labor,building fence,fighting fire, ect...........(always physical labor from the time i was 10 growing up on a farm and ranch)but all this man seen was my fat caused all my problems, this ended up being a aweful experience, i will never go back for that experience EVER

Focused on me being overweight more than anything else, horrible feeling

Had a knee replacement two years ago. Dr. E was very professional, as well as emotionally supportive through an extended recovery. Excellent outcome, thanks to an excellent surgeon. I am an RN, so I know what to look for, and I found a good orthopedic surgeon! Good for non-surgical ortho problems, as well. Office is wonderful!

The office staff is incompetent... Mischeduled a surgery then tried to blame on doctor, who had confirmed that surgery was on a certain day. Tried to tell patient that it was their fault, and had poor patient manners, i.e. saying they were rude to staff when being rescheduled (without prior knowledge) and not allowing a message to be delivered to the doctor. However, if you can get through to Erpelding, he is an excellent doctor, excellent at explaining diagnosis, and is understanding to different injuries. Highly recommend him, but would not trust the staff at the front desk.

Excellent and compassionate doctor,takes time to listen and explain. Very talented surgeon.

I went to his office for an independant exam. I am missing half my left lung & my left hip is shattered by a drunk driver & he told me its normal for a person of 59 yrs.of age. and I should get over this minor inconvience!!!!!!!!!!!
