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.

I would not recommend Dr. Jeff Stitgen undeHe mistakenly cut my nerve during my hip replacement surgery and I lost the feeling in my leg after the operation. He didn’t seem to care and was dismissive of me when I asked him what happened. He just said “these things happen.” He is not very competent. I have since had a second hip replacement on my other leg with a surgeon who does exceptional work, who specializes in doing a high volume of hips and knees and my outcome has been like night and day.

I was referred to sports medicine due to knee and hip pain going up all the way into my neck so i thought i would try Jeff Stitgen, Bow was that a big mistake, he didnt seem interested in looking into ,my issue was definitely not thorough and didnt want to listen, i am guessing because i am on medicaid he didnt want to bother, I am going to try PT again and if that dont work I will request another specialists, I have had this pain for around a yr and there as to be an answer for it

Dr. Stitgen did both of my carpal tunnel surgeries. He did an excellent job! I haven't had a single problem. He is now doing my trigger thumb surgery. I didn't hesitate to call his office to have this done. Definitely recommend him and his staff!

At my 6 wk post op now for TKR right knee. After 1 week walked with cane only. 2 weeks no cane. 3 weeks back to work part time and driving. Now back to work full time. I am now almost 100% back to pre op except no pain. Dr. Stitgen is a great surgeon. A fellow employee had a TKR by him 2 years ago with the same results. I am 67. Would recommend Dr. Stitgen to anyone. Best decision I ever made. SteadyStride is a winner.

Dr. Jeff Stitgen has replaced both of my knees and now a total hip replacement. After 2 weeks was walking without any help in the house and three weeks out no walker at all. Have been very satisfied with all that he has done for me and my family.
