Dr. James Jesko, DO

Dr Jesko evaluated me for total knee replacement (as I already knew I needed them) He was VERY concerned with leg weakness, ordered MRI cervical, EMG -refused to do surgery-THANK GOD!! I needed cervical fusion!! He, Dr Weirsema, and Dr Adams saved my life!! Now, he's going to replace my knee next week!! I would recommend All three of those men to ANYONE!

He wasn't good with my hip. Maybe he's good for other problems. Went ahead with this Dr after seeing mostly good reviews online. He is very busy. Gave him the benefit of the doubt. I wasn't called to an exam room til 210 when the appt time was 145. He did do a range of motion exam on the table. But that was it. The bill was stamped paid at 215. This Dr seemed more interested in prescribing meds and making extra unnecessary office calls than in my actual care. Didn't seem like he reviewed my prior tests/exrays before the visit. Even after telling him I didn't even want to take otc meds, he continued to prescribe Mel..... I did take it for 7 days and it did absolutely nothing for a bone on bone hip. I'm so glad I went and got a second opinion. 30 seconds into the appt the new Dr says, you need a hip replacement. Things are getting taken care of now. Don't waste your time and money on this Dr. for hip/arthritic problems.

Wife fell couldn’t walk went to Dr Jesko had knee and foot x rays no damage sent her to physical therapy, she still couldn’t walk eventually therapist said something is wrong with her hip and did she have a hip x ray, said no had x ray of hip and she had a broken hip and needs replacement, note she had a broken hip for 5 months, his answer to her problem was physical therapy, he suppose to be the expert how come he didn’t have an x ray done to check all the bases, took a therapist to find the problem, might be a good surgeon but very poor in identifying problems

If you haveva BMI of below 40 he will treat you. Otherwise he refers you to others. Don't waste your time. His support staff & xray tech are great.

not uptodate on hips

Dr Jesco is an excellent surgeon and very skilled. He is pleasant and listens.. I have had two surgeries and both were problem free. Both of those joints are now very functional and no longer painful. I would and have recommended him!
