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.

Dr. Hupfer very professional
I felt like everyone at Orthoo Indy was really invested in my getting well. Yhe x ray technician Dr Hupfer, the person to check me in and checked me out - all very nice and very professional and I felt that they were really invested in doing a really good job. Dr. Hupfer explained the x-rays clearly And I am confident that he really knows his stuff and made the right recommendations.

I had total knee replacement Nov 1 2021. I was progressing ok until late Jan 2022. Then my swelling and pain increased to what it had been on about Dec. 1 2021. When i called about this around Feb 1, he replied that i probably had "overdone it" when I was on vacation a week before, except the swelling increase began 2 days before my vacation. It is 2 weeks later and I am very displeased and want to know why my swelling has increased and will not decrease. I am a fit and active person and am very limited in what I can do. I do my PT exercises and stretching every day. I have 130 degrees and less than 1 degree, respectively in flexion and extension of my knee.

Dr Hupfer did an excellent job on my full knee replacement. I was dreading it so much and probably put it off longer than I should have. He straightened my foot too which had began to point outward. I got along great (did all my rehab exercises!) and cannot believe how much better things are now. He is a very skilled surgeon.

Much like patient's reviews. Capable, efficient, initially good at listening, but seemed fairly inflexible when while reciting his opinions and instructions . This was my first visit and our interaction could change. I appreciated reading other's reviews.

Laid back, listened to my problem, recommended a course of action - to which I agreed - and I was in and out in about 15 minutes with follow-up instructions. Not much fun getting a cortisone shot in my hip, but he's good with a needle and I experienced minimal discomfort.

Like most orthopedic surgeons, he is skilled. For the personal interaction piece, he is very arrogant. I the recovery phase of my surgery, he made it a lot worse with his interaction style. I would highly recommend finding another physician. My colleagues have had excellent results with Dr. Shelbourne.
