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.

Outstanding surgeon
Had been treated by Dr. Stamer for a distal bicep tendon repair. I could not have asked for better. A few years later, I had surgery once again for severe osteoarthritis in my thumb joint. Once again, I couldn't ask for a better surgeon or outcome. I have recommended him for multiple family members for hip replacement, fractured femur and hip, arthritis surgery and knee replacement. We all had fantastic outcomes. He is absolutely the best.

I should have written this review six months ago, but it would have been the same. I had knee pain for many years and I had tried everything short of surgery. I was told that I would know when the time was right. We had recently moved and knew little about the orthopedic care in the area. I went to Dr. Stamer after seeing a video about robotic-assisted surgery. The doctor listened to and agreed on the need for the surgery. I asked him if he would consider doing both knees at the same time. After listening to my reasons why, telling me all the potential pitfalls and evaluating me he agreed that I would be a candidate. I had the surgery on July 2, 2019 and they had me walking that day. Because of having both knees done I was eligible for in-patient therapy and stayed in the hospital foeight days. I started my outpatient therapy the day after I got home and they were impressed by my progress in that short time. I did almost three months of therapy and by the time I was finished

I was only able to ask Dr. Stamer two questions before he said “You’re not ready for this” and turned his back and walked away. My first question was: “Do you perform anterior or posterior surgery? The anterior is less invasive, the posterior cuts through muscle and soft tissue. My first question was not given a straight answer. I was given a response suggesting the way he has performed surgery the most frequently is the best and only way for him. After listening to his self focused response, I asked my second question: “Does this mean you only perform posterior surgery?” With assistance, I found a surgeon who performs both surgeries, and who discussed the pros and cons of both procedures focusing on the patient. I have scheduled anterior hip replacement.

I have been Dr. Stamer's patient for 20 years. He has treated me for knee and shoulder issues with success. He takes a conservative approach, with surgery as a last resort. I have great confidence in him and recommend him highly.

After giving diagnosis pulled out huge needle to aspirate fluid from knee . Didn't explain anything sprayed anesthetic didn't wait for effect and forced large needle in . Extreme pain I don't like surprise's . He then left the room and said I will see you out there and he was gone.I had CT scan done there tech was rude and ruff . Caused pain when forcibly taping leg.
