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.

Total Right Knee Replacement 3/29/23
I love Dr. Ostempowski. He is an excellent surgeon. He is kind, caring, welcoming, and professional. He helped me decide when was the right time to do my knee surgery, answering my questions clearly. Dr. O and his staff were with me every step of the way. I cannot say enough about St. Joseph's Hospital. The nurses were wonderful and speak very highly of him. I would give him 10 stars if I could!

Right hip replacement
I am very happy with Dr. Ostempowski and his staff. I could not walk from the pain. He guided me through every step from shots to recovery. I am playing golf now and I do all my own landscaping. I could not be happier with my improved lifestyle.

My dad had hip surgery in March of this year. We could not be happier with the care he received right from our first consultation. The PA took a great deal of time to explain things to my dad. Dr Ostempowski was very kind, supportive and took his time with my Dad easing his concerns. The entire process was great from the office staff to the surgery center. My dad did fantastic and we are very grateful.

Dr. O is an exceptional surgeon. I have had many friends tell me about the great things he has done to get them to 100%. I have seen him twice and will continue...hip surgery coming up sometime in new year. Great job to Dr.O and his staff.

Dr. Ostempowski has replaced one hip and two knees for me over the past years. He is a wonderful physician with a very good office staff. The nurses at the hospital where my surgeries were done have nothing but praise for him. Other family members are just as pleased with their results. I highly recommend him. Time waiting in the office can vary depending on many different circumstances. Sometimes 15 - 20 minutes,rarely an hour. I never had to make an urgent appointment so I'm not sure of the di

After a previous knee replacement with another Doctor that didn't go well, I was recommended by a friend to see Dr. Ostempowski for the other knee. I had the surgery at St. Joseph's Hospital and it went great. Recovery was quick with therapy. The total experience with Dr. Ostempowski and his office staff is definitely five star! I would highly recommend this Doctor. No more pain!
