William J Petersilge

I consulted with Dr. Petersilge about left hip replacement based on pain from severe osteoarthritis. Dr. Petersilge was friendly and approachable, he explained things in easy-to-understand language and he took time to answer my questions. I decided to have him do my hip replacement surgery. He and his staff provided exceptional service from my initial consultation until I was discharged to return to work. They coordinated my care seamlessly between a variety of providers (pre-admission testing, cardiology consult, and in-home physical therapy and occupational therapy). All in all, an exceptional patient experience and I highly recommend Dr. Petersilge and his UH orthopedic colleagues.

Very comfortable experience, Easy to talk to, covered all bases about my procedure, easily available, glad i chose him for my total knee replacement. I highly recommend !

Great doctor. I've had both my knees replaced by Dr. Petersilge in the past 16 months. Both were successful and my recovery has been excellent. I've recommended Dr. Petersilge to several friends and family members. Good technical surgeon that is caring and listened to, and answered, all of my questions.

Excellent surgeon! Kind, caring, and empathetic. He has replaced my hip and two knees in the last three years. Great results and pain free!

I have had two hip replacement surgeries in the last year. Dr. Petersilge did the first. I won’t claim it wasn’t painful or a hard recovery. Any hip surgery is I’m told. But I was back to work with simply a cane after only 2 weeks at home. I did all the PT and OT as directed. This second hip surgery has been a totally different story though. I will withhold surgeon’s name. But now 4th week still at home and causing me to write this review that I very rarely do. Dr. Petersilge is a genius in his methods and in my mind now and forever!!

My experience with the hip replacement and Dr Petersilge was completely different from what I expected. I was fortunate in choosing Dr Petersilge, he has an amazing bedside manner with my family and myself. His work is exceptional, my healing time much quicker than I expected, no complications, informed up front about what to expect and what was expected of me and the pain is almost completely gone after 3 weeks. After working as an RN for 40+ years, do not feel I could have chosen better. Thank you Dr Petersilge!

I had both knee replacements by Dr. Petersilge and the outcome has been great! Highly recommend him.

So happy with Dr.Petersilge and his care.Excellent Dr.

He refused to even talk to me because I am obese.

yes - Dor. Petersilge has a great bedside manner. He described the surgery which went extremely well!

Dr. Petersilge and staff are professional, friendly, and good. I had a successful surgery. The results of my surgery met all of my expectations.

Dr. William Petersilge is an excellent physician ie. orthopedic surgeon. Today (3/10/2021), I had my 6 week post operative appointment, and x-ray. Everything was fine in the radiograph. The examination of the knee indicated that all was healing well with a very good range of motion. My recuperation is going very well, and I am extremely happy and pleased with where I am at this time after surgery. I most certainly would highly recommend Dr. Petersilge to ANYONE needing knee or hip surgery!!!

I’ve had both hips replaced, The right hip in January 2020 and the left six weeks ago. My therapy had gone very well and I’ feeling better than I thought I would. I can’t give enough positive acolades to Dr. Petersilge and his office staff. Highly recommend him for replacement surgery. The Best!

If you would like to feel fully prepared for surgery, have the procedure expertly done, be handled with professionalism from the surgeon and his staff , be followed up on, and feel supported, Dr. Petersilge is your choice. I recommend him without hesitation.

This is my second surgery with Dr. Petersilge. He is amazing. I feel he listens to what I’m saying and is compassionate to my concerns.

Dr. Petersilge and his staff are wonderful! He listens and does not rush you.. Very compassionate. Excellent surgeon and I couldn't be happier with my hip replacement. Wonderful care at hospital and very easy recovery. Thank you for giving me my mobility back!

Dr. Petersilge replaced my right hip on December 8th and so I am now about 6 weeks downstream from the surgery and I have been released by the doctor at our recent last visit. I have been totally satisfied and delighted with Dr. Petersilge. I have no pain and a fully functioning new hip. Many thanks!

Listened to me - patiently, having heard the same thing a hundred times, I'm sure! I've both hips replaced in the past year; great recovery experience because I'm certain the surgery was performed "perfectly". Very pleased with all aspects of both pre & post visits.

He explained procedure very well

Outstanding. The doctor addressed all concerns and answered all questions pre-op, The surgical/hospital experience was far better than I expected. Still doing PT 2x/week and exercising 3x/day to maximize recovery. Walking without a cane and negotiating stairs with only minimal impairment. I see him tomorrow for 6 week follow-up and anticipate that we'll both be satisfied with the results. Thank you, Dr. Petersilge.

Incredible Doctor!! Completed my knee replacement. Procedure went very well. He is friendly and professional. Would strongly recommend him.

Surgery went as well as I had hoped. I had a THR and was off of pain meds after two days. I was walking without a walker or cane after three days. It is now six weeks later and I am walking 1 hour three times daily. The past week I am averaging 20.000 steps per day. I have also started upper body workouts the past week. Except for not being able to bend past 90 degrees and sleeping on my right side yet, I feel better than I have in years.

I saw Dr. Petersilge several times before my total hip replacement. At each visit I didn't feel rushed, he answered all my questions and gave an honest assessment of what the surgery and recovery would be like. Although my initial decision to have surgery was delayed due to covid, once surgery opened again, it all moved quickly. It's now been six weeks since my surgery and I couldn't be happier. I have zero pain, am making progress every day with PT and walking without assistance, and have been driving for over a week already. Everyone in the office was also nice, professional and willing to help and worked with me on scheduling surgery on a date easiest for me. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Petersilge!

I am very satisfied with Dr. Petersilge. I’ve had both knees replacements and he is an awesome doctor. He explained all the pros and cons of having replacement surgery and he was true to his word.

Dr. Petersilge is, quite simply, the equivalent of the finest cognac...his technique is smooth, and goes down ultra easy! His artistry is world class. My husband’s knees are still beautiful with minimal to no scarring. The phenomenal thing here? The surgery he did on one knee on August 24, 2020 is just as superb as the surgery he completed on my husband’s other knee 11 years prior. That, my friends, is the work of someone with complete mastery of his profession. He is also very kind, to boot. We are very pleased and we are fans!

Dr William Petersilge is awesome. Skilled, kind, the best ever. Best possible outcome. Minimal scar.

Dr. Petersilge and Jessica are phenomenal. Had my hip replaced in 2018 and my knee in August. It is obvious this practice is borderline perfect!

An absolutely wonderful surgeon plus a very nice man. He did my knee replacement in July 2020 and it went like clockwork. Incidentally another family member had his done at the Clinic ten days after my surgery, and I am here to tell you that dr. Petersilge is way better. First, I healed faster, second the heal treatment was the latest 21st century so I could always shower and even get into the pool four weeks after the surgery, so wonderful. Today 6 weeks after I walk without any aid and feel wonderful.

All I could ask for and more!

I will never recommend this surgeon or dealing with his office to anyone. They never returned my messages and when they did return they told me to go somewhere else. All I wanted was to get on the surgery waiting list. I had already seen Petersilge twice. The office cancelled the appointment I had to get on the list. I would message them on FB and they would say "call the office" I called the office and their recording said "we're not in the office, leave a message and we'll get back". They never got back so I would message them on FB..."call the office". I'd leave a message at the office. Repeat a handful of times. Then, "do not message us on FB. Call the office" I left a message complaining why they never returned my messages, etc. They called back and said to go somewhere else. I can't believe Petersilge REFUSED to treat me. So much for the HIPPOCRATIC OATH. Staff is incompetent, unprofessional, uncaring. Also gave me the wrong # to call to get my xrays.

I am a complex multicondition patient. Dr. P listened, thoughtfully considered all issues and came up with excellent plans for both knees. First allowing me to defer right knee surgery when a brace could address my symptoms, allowing me to adjust to a rapid decline. I was compelled to use a different institution and surgical team because of my other conditions. That knee turned out well but took almost 1 year. There was poor communication. For the left knee I was allowed to return to Dr. P, and Ahuja. He was again thoughtful and listened, the surgery went well and 3 months out without pushing my PT hard, I am walking stairs without support, biking all out, bushwhacking through woods, walking hills, etc. My limits are now my other conditions. His coordinator Enza was great. One of the most thoughtful orthopedists in town, and a real good person. Would always recommend him.

Dr Petersilge replaced my left hip in October 2019, and he recently replaced my right hip in February 2020. I developed a skin infection in early March which required a followup surgery and a 3-day hospital stay while they tracked down the source of the infection. Thanks to Dr Petersilge's quick response to my issue, and daily "conferences" via Force Therapeutics, the infection was caught early and dealt with definitively. His conscientious follow up, including his staff, are the reason I'm walking (and playing golf) without pain for the first time in two years.

Had a TKR December 17, 2020. My experience was good right from the first visit. I felt very comfortable there, felt very informed and my surgery and recovery went better than I expected it would be. Very happy i chose Dr. Petersilge and i have recommended Dr. Petersilge to anyone that asked.

I had my hip replaced by Dr. Petersilge. Everything went well. Until it didn't. Then, he was too busy to see me. As in wouldn't make an appointment for a problem device. I was told I could see his PA, but he doesn't do further follow ups. I contacted the patient advocate and she reconfirmed Dr. Petersilge's response. I'm so confused and hurt. Don't see this doctor.

I had my left hip replaced November 25. When recovery took a down turn and now I'm in pain like before surgery, the office could care less. They were in a hurry to make money on surgery. Now, they can't get me in for three weeks. They told me to go to urgent care or somewhere else. I called twice. I recommend finding a doctor who cares about more than money.

My Husband had a knee replacement on Oct 15 2019, the surgery went went well and recovery was good until Feb 2020 when he noticed a large lump on the side of his knee and started having pain radiate down his leg, swelling and warm to the touch. When he called for an appointment he was told it would be March before he could be seen. I called and was told that it was past the 90 days and to go to the emergency room. I am highly disappointed in the attitude of his office as far as their unwillingness to help. I would not recommend this office as far as caring for their patients.

I had a complete hip replacement done by Dr. Petersilge. From the first office visit and through the whole procedure, I was very comfortable and trusted Dr, Petersilge. I am very happy with the end result and highly recommend him to others for their replacements.

Dr. Petersilge replaced both my knees. The right knee was done in Oct. 2018. The left knee was done in Oct. 2019. I am totally satisfied with how both knees are working and with all of my visits to Dr. Petersilge and with my complete recovery. I have a new lease on life and getting out and about. Thank You Dr. Petersilge for all you have done to help me walk again with out pain.

he is truly a wonderful doctor and very patient with a scary person like me. i have told everyone with a joint problem to use him. i will never change doctors. Thanks for all your help along with the staff Teara Wheeler 12 16 2019 Tear

2nd total knee replacement in 2 1/2 years. So happy with doctor, staff and the out come after 1st knee replacement , I of course went to Dr Petersilge for the 2nd knee. Dr Petersilge and staff are excellent. Professionals who are easy to talk to, personable, responsive, collaborative, and answer all my questions with excellent pre-surgery prep and post surgical care. After 1st knee I got back to skiing and yoga. I expect to do that this time also.

Excellent service and end result

Very good bedside manner. Already recommended him to a friend that is having hip surgery next week.

He was very professional

I simply can't say enough about Dr Petersilge. I agree with every description I read above.

I have been recommending Dr. Petersilge to everyone who asks me about my surgery.

I was completely satisfied with Dr. Petersilge and his team. Would and have recommended him

My first visit was awesome. He was warm and very attentive to my issues and gave me the information I needed to take the next step in what I wanted to do. As he told me what my options where we agreed to do what I wanted. He was very honest with me and and I respect that. Thank you so much for all your help.

Dr. Petersilge is a Very good surgeon. He has replaced both my hip and knee due to injury. Both surgeries went very well, much better than I had expected. He's a very patient oriented Doctor, explaining all procedures in a fashion that is comfortable to understand. I would and have recommended friends to visit if ever necessary. And you get a tee shirt! Been there, done that.

Dr. Petersilge is the pro of the pros. My knee replacement went as well as can be and after 4 months I am almost at 100 % recovery. I was well informed about the procedure and treated with care and respect by the entire team. If you need a replacement you cannot do better than Dr. Pertersilge and University Hospital at Ahuja.

Went to this quack in December due to a change in our insurance coverage. After speaking with him for over 45 minutes, we came to a game plan that I would loose 30 pounds by April 3rd the following year which was to be my surgery date. We just met today, February 9th to assess my progress and get cortisone shots. Much to my surprise, not only did I not get the injections, but he told me I had only lost 13 pounds of the stated goal weight and, he refused to do the surgery. Don't go to him.

I have to say it was the most efficient and effective office operation I've ever seen: took me right on time, technician took x-rays in 4 minutes right in their office suite, then led me to his exam room where the x-rays had already been transmitted and displayed on the screen, and then the doc saw me within 2 minutes... ten minutes later, I felt fully informed and with a game plan.. super impressive. End to end, it was less than 30 minutes...
