Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Professional.

Disappointed - for Achilles
Saw Dr. Staebler after an Achilles rupture. When we discussed surgical option, it was clear he does not use a minimally invasive approach. Given that, he steered me away from surgical option due to healing concerns regarding my age and diabetes, well-controlled. I was uncomfortable with Dr. Staebler’s age-based recommendation, so I decided to get a second opinion. Second surgeon is a foot-ankle specialist who performs dozens of Achilles repairs per year! Had Minimally invasive surgery with that Dr. Healing was fast and without complications. Followed rehab protocol and all has been great. So, I am experiencing a much faster recovery over non-surgical and stronger repair with lower risk of re-rupture. So glad I was able to get second opinion and be treated by a specialist.

He listens and always knows how I can move forward
Very nice staff courteous hardly any wait time. I think I went to sit down after I checked in and they called my name and I was in and out of the office probably in less than 15 minutes and Dr. Staebler was great as always.

Outstanding!
I was able to get an appointment really quickly and all of the staff have been so kind and helpful! Dr. Staebler was very friendly and had a wonderful bedside manner. He really took the time to show and explain to me what was happening and what treatments were available. I really felt like he listened as I explained my symptoms and had an overall very caring demeanor.

I appreciated that Dr. Staebler took the time to get another x-ray, explain my option for relieving knee pain, and start a treatment plan during the appointment. I was nervous about the appointment, but left feeling relieved! Thank you.
