Dr. Keppler did an excellent job on my total shoulder replacement After only 4-1/2 months I have my range of motion back and now just working on strengthening. Also the whole staff was very courteous and made you feel welcome.
Excellent experience. Dr. Keppler took time to explain my problem and answered all questions I had. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.– John
Dr. Keppler replaced my right knee and will be replacing the left knee soon. He uses the safest, most cautious approach, which was very appealing to me. Annie
Louis Keppler is a very good doctor; he is very caring – answering all my questions and interested in my recovery. Both this past year with my knee replacement as well as last year when he operated on my back. I would recommend him to anyone who needs his talents.– Douglas
Had a compound fracture of the clavicle on a Wednesday night. Very fortunate that a great orthopedic physician, Lou Keppler, MD not only added me on Thursday to evaluate, he operated on Friday.
Has healed amazingly well!– Sherrie
Dr. Keppler is an answer to my prayer. 2 new hips in 7 months and I’m off and running. Pain free and happy. Very grateful for this highly skilled surgeon and staff.– Laurie
Had a complex total knee surgery with all ligaments torn. Dr. Keppler saw the situation was urgent because muscles were atrophying and adjusted his schedule. Follow up care was as thorough as surgery. I highly recommend him and will come back to him for future needs.– Nancy
This was our 3rd opinion, and I was prepared to have to fight to get pain relief for my husband. The poor man has been suffering with shoulder pain for a year. 2 surgeons said, “Nothing can be done”. Would not tell us why. He did not want pain meds just to fix the problem if possible. Our good friends recommend their doctor (Dr. Keppler). They were able to get him seen within just a few weeks and as soon as Lisa and Dr. Kepler saw him, he was diagnosed and told they could fix it. I was amazed and shocked. We were both so very pleased. When we went to my husband’s heart doctor, we told him about his procedure. Dr. Maroo asked who the surgeon was. When we told him Dr. Keppler he spoke VERY highly of him. I respect my husband’s heart doctor very much. If he likes Dr. Keppler that makes me feel even more satisfied. Thank you to all the truly nice people we met at the doctor’s office. They treat you with respect. You will be very happy with Dr. Keppler and his staff.
I was concerned about a spinal fusion after hearing all the bad stories about it. But the pain had become unmanageable after a work-related accident. I was referred to Dr. Keppler by my physical therapist when symptoms didn’t lighten up. Dr. Keppler performed an anterior spinal fusion at L5-S1 in February of 2015 and I feel so much better now. Nerves regenerating is still an ongoing process considering the damage was hidden from me by the doctor I was forced to see by my former employer. I may need arthroscopic surgery on my shoulders soon and I would love to have Dr. Keppler do it. They have a wonderful staff, very patient, even when dealing with me!– Bob
Dr. and Staff were very attentive, advised me along this shoulder journey. Would highly recommend. If I ever have to have surgery again, this would definitely be the Team to call upon.– Sharon
Dr. Keppler is an awesome doctor. I had back surgery and I feel so much better.– Megan
I just wanted to thank Dr. Keppler and his staff for the great work they did for me. I had shoulder surgery in August, and I am going back to work Oct 1st. Again thank you so much.– Eric
The doctors and entire staff are very friendly and talk to you in a manner that you can understand. They put extra effort to make sure you understand what they are explaining to you. I have had multiple procedures done with them and I am very satisfied.– Scott
Thankful for the kindness, care and expertise of everyone who cared for me, during and after my recent surgery!– Trudy
You did a fantastic job on my back in 2012, many thanks to you and your awesome team Dr. Keppler.– Shay
I have had 10 surgeries with Dr. Keppler including 2 knee replacements, a hip replacement and 4 back surgeries and I wouldn’t go to anyone else. – – Joe
I had both knees replaced with Dr. Keppler, referred to him from another doctor. The best thing I ever did. He does just an excellent job. Up and running in no time. One of the best surgeons in our area. Everyone I have talked to speaks very highly of him. After getting 2 knees replaced I know why.– Barry
Dr. Keppler is absolutely the best in his field. Dry thorough and always punctual. He follows up with his patients on a regular schedule and will answer your questions before you ask him. Highly recommend Dr. Keppler.
