Dr. Schaper has replaced both of my knees and I have been so pleased with his surgical expertise. Both knees have been very successful.

I have been with this doctor for a number of years, he did my first knee replacement and he repaired my other knee. He is a very caring and attentive doctor. I have and I still will recommend him to anyone.

Very professional. Listens. Very honest it’s not all about money. The reason he got 5 stars because there wasn’t six. I would recommend him to anyone.

Was very pleased with Dr. Schaper. He explained why he thought my problem was and is not what I expected. Ordered further test to make sure.
